re: Timberwolves @ Nuggets - Game 7 - NBA

They're the best team in the NBA, maybe by far, when they have energy. But it's pretty obvious to me that they ran out of gas. They've played way, way more minutes than any other team in the NBA over the past two seasons. ETA: for next year the longer off-season with this shorter playoff run will help. But then Malone also needs to cut back on playing the starters so much in the regular season. Denver starters played more minutes than any other team's this season

You’re absolutely not wrong, I didn’t want to use that excuse but I absolutely agree they just looked tired this postseason. Lakers series shouldn’t have been close, but they fricked around and every game was a nail biter.

I think they were tired, that’s just a fact. That’s why it’s so special to repeat. This team just wasn’t able to overcome that

They G sweep Boston in the Finals if they’re rested, but I’ll leave that up to Dallas or Minny now
