And I am in Minnesota where I feel like I'm at the marquee series, even though that series could very well be over.
Did it look like Anthony Edwards is like, oh, ok, I'm ready for this, but my teammates on because that's what it felt like inside the building on TV.
It did especially.
I forget exactly at what point of what his scoring total was.
But I, if I remember correctly at one point, he had 43 and the TNT broadcast flashes, you know, the little push out box from the little square in the bottom right corner and it said a 43 on 16 of 24 shooting, which pretty hard to be more efficient than that and the chance of the chance for a reason.
And Jamal Murray was not going to have as bad of a performance as he did in game two continually.
The biggest thing that stood out to me about Minnesota not being like ready for the moment to your point was just that like Denver's taken punches before and overcome it.
And that's one thing Minnesota, hasn't you go back to that Grizzlies series when they overcame, came to play tournament and Pat Bev was twirling his jersey on the stands and whatnot.
Like they were up 21.
Was it on Memphis?
And, or they, or they had a chance to go up to one and they just never recovered and their recovery was going out and trading for Rudy Gobert, Michael Moon said this, I believe after game three, like going back to the bubble Denvers come back from 31 multiple times.
I just think that like resolve is something that the Nuggets have in their DNA that maybe it's not even like a detriment to Minnesota just they haven't had, they haven't been together long enough to, to have those types of experiences in, in their back pocket to lean on.
