It was Finchy delivering the "Just win one for the Gipp-Bear" speech.

That was some of the best defense I've ever seen played. Have mercy.

I think that half was the best post defense I've ever seen Naz play.

Let this sink in. We just have to lose the 2nd half by 25 points or less.

I really like the Ant, NAW, Jaden, Naz, and KAT lineup. They have length, athleticism, scoring, and defense. Plus, there's a real chance they could all be on the team for the next 5 years.

Blazer fan here!

I'M IMPRESSED!!!

I also got to say that some of your players in Game 1 looked like they had the "deer in the headlights" look on offense in Game 1. Players Like Edwards who can tell lives for this type of spotlight helped the rest of the team snap out of it. But this Game 2, your guys are not nervous anymore. They are living it up.

You guys are going to be good for a long time and quite possibly win the whole thing this season. The only teams that truly stand in your way is OKC and Boston. And even if you guys come up short this year, the future is bright in Minnesota. This team is likely going to be in the Finals either this season or next.

You know it was an interesting half when Aaron Gordon and Justin Holiday are carrying the Nuggets offense.

Naz channeling his inner Rudy with 4 blocks. I just can't believe what I watched with the defense in that first half. Incredible.

Nuggets are on the verge of a breakdown. Come out on fire and to start the third and it may be over
