I would rather the Nuggets lose to the Timberwolves than any of the other teams remaining. I just want them to win this game to prevent the worst of the Jokic Fraud Discourse

I personally would not engage with a mentally ill gaggle which calls jokic a fraud

I think you'll find that this is not the case.

Also one missed call does not make up for a bunch of tacky crap.

Also I blame White Donte being good on the refs or whatever cult they belong to.

I just realized that this was on the page for the NBA's Referee Assignments for tonight, with Tony Brothers being the Crew Chief for the Wolves-Nuggets game:

CREW CHIEF POSITION
    *Proficient in Referee and Umpire positions
    *Leader of the crew, on and off the floor
    *High-level play calling, partnering skills, and tools for handling any game situation, including interpersonal communication
    *Understands the importance of extending into their secondary area of coverage, with accuracy

Now, can any of the above accurately describe Tony Brothers?

This is extremely “yells at cloud” but after watching games 2 and 3 of the Denver/Minnesota series it’s absurd how differently two games can be officiated. In game 2 the timberwolves were just mugging the nuggets for the full 24 seconds of the shot clock and it was like hey that’s playoff basketball and all the commentary after the game was like “wow that’s the best defense I’ve seen in 20 years.” So the wolves play the exact same defense and they’re instantly called for fouls in game 3. Like, either that kind of defense is allowed or it isn’t!! There shouldn’t be a d20 roll to decide the defensive intensity of a game based on officiating!!

It's always ridiculous that there's the expectation that you have playoff whistles and regular season whistles, but the game to game inconsistency of officiating doubles that ridiculousness.
