北京时间4月30日，NBA季后赛首轮G5，掘金主场以108-106战胜湖人，系列赛大比分4-1淘汰对手。次轮将面对此前横扫太阳的森林狼。值得一提的是，上赛季两队曾经在季后赛首轮碰面，而掘金当时以4-1的大比分轻松晋级。
随后，美媒ESPN也晒出图片为这轮系列赛预热：掘金森林狼你更看好谁？比分如何？这一问题也引起了球迷们的热烈讨论，球迷们纷纷表示：抢七决胜最精彩。
[1]”可能要打到抢七。“
this might go to 7
[-]”绝对是今年最激烈的系列赛。“
Wildest series in this playoffs.
[3]”掘金6场拿下。任何其他答案都是错误的。“
Nuggets in 6. Any other answer is just wrong
[-]”我不知道，兄弟。他们绅士横扫了湖人，但湖人仍然给他们带来了更多的麻烦。森林狼可不是湖人。“
I don't know, bro. They gentlemen swept the Lakers, but LA still gave them more trouble than what they should have. Minnesota is not the Lakers.
[--]”如果波普出现伤病，那将会很艰难，那样的话他几乎不可能防住爱德华兹…唐斯对位戈登……约基奇会打出更好的数据，因为戈贝尔不是一个得分手。“
If KCP isn't healthy it'll be tough, almost impossible guarding Antman... Kat will struggle against Gordon... Jokic will put up even bigger numbers bc gobert is not a scorer
[6]”森林狼6场拿下。“
Wolves in 6
[-]”我喜欢掘金，虽然我不想这么说，但森林狼确实目前表现很好。我不得不同意这一点。”
I love the Nuggets, and I hate to say it, but the Wolves are good right now. I have to agree.
[--]“掘金刚刚用了5场比赛赢得了这轮5打8的系列赛……森林狼可不会得到詹姆斯得到的那些哨子……”
Nuggets just won a series 5 against 8 in 5 games…Minnesota wont get those calls that Lebron gets…
[9]“掘金6场战胜森林狼……约基奇会压制戈贝尔，迈克-马龙会有一个很棒的防守爱德华兹的比赛计划……这不是太阳…这是卫冕冠军。”
NUGGETS in 6 over T Wolves... Jokic will outplay Gobert and Mike Malone will have a great game plan against Ant Edwards... This ain't THE SUNS... This the CHAMPS
[-]”除了派波普防守他并让戈登包夹，给唐斯空位机会之外，他们的比赛计划还有什么？他们没有太多选择。“
What’s the game plan besides putting KCP on him and having Gordon double leaving KAT open. They don’t have many options.
[--]”那你们的比赛计划是什么，因为如果你包夹约基奇，他就会找到处于空位的球员，如果你不这样做，他就会得分40+。“
whats there game plan going to be bc if you double jokic we will find the open man and if you dont he will score 40
[12]”如果掘金像打湖人那样打森林狼，我认为森林狼会赢。🤷️“
If the Nuggets play the Wolves like they played the Lakers, I got the Wolves winning. 🤷️
[-]”季后赛一切都是关于对位。AD和约基奇互相抵消了，x因素是角色球员。戈贝尔可没法像AD那样抵消约基奇的影响力。“
It's all about matchup. Ad and Jokic cancel each other out and the x factor are the role players. Gobert can't cancel out Jokic like what AD did.
[--]”这是事实，但是森林狼有更大体型的球员来换防约基奇，而且可能会用防守最好的球员杰登-麦克丹尼尔斯来防穆雷。“
that is true, but wolves have more size to switch and guard jokic especially and prolly the best possible player to guard jamal with jmac
[15]”森林狼有对付约基奇的答案吗？“
Does Minnesota have an answer for Jokic?
[-]”掘金常规赛2胜1负，去年季后赛4-1，约基奇会像往常一样干掉戈贝尔。“
nuggets 2-1 reg season 4-1 playoffs last year Jokic is gonna kill Rudy as usual
[--]”你们都会发现森林狼的阵容比湖人的更有深度，更具体型，更有尺寸，哈哈，穆雷甚至不在100%的状态，这次可不是里夫斯或拉塞尔来防守你们了，哈哈，森林狼有联盟最好的防守之一，麦克丹尼尔斯或沃克会锁死穆雷。“
y’all gone find out wolves way deeper with size and length than the lakers lol Murray isn’t even 100% still it’s not reaves or dlo guarding you lol wolves guards permitter defense one of the best in the league mcdaniels or Walker locking Murray up
