Series Thread: 2) Nuggets vs 3) T'Wolves

All I'm saying is KAT and Reid have done a much better job containing Jokic all series.

No question, but in this game, I don't see what he does differently. Jokic is showing why he is MVP for sure.

MPJ been ass lately

Ant is being tenative. He needs to just takeover. Easier said than done but we have seen him do it

Just hang around

They are sending the double. He just got to make the right play as he just did.

Make the pass fast enough and you are playing 4 on 3 for a short period of time

Sending the double on the screen. Stop screening for him. Denver will gladly let the other guys try to beat them

McDaniels really need to work on hit offense this summer

This series was over when Denver won game 4.

Minny winning game 6 will be surprising

Wolves absolutely showing they are not ready for playoff basketball. Hopefully they took some notes on how to improve this year, because they will not be making significant roster changes.

Really, really poor coaching by Minnesota tonight.

As soon it was apparent that they were going to blitz Ant, they should have given Ant the ball on the wing and run their offense the moment the double came. But they cleary had zero plan.

And not sending more help at Joker was stupid as well.

Minnesota is a great young team and this series is far from over. Regardless of where this series goes, it's impossible to not recognize the greatness that Jokić brings to the game. His stats for a big are beyond reproach. Love watching him play.

Holy shit Jokic. Minny is supposed to be good defensively too. He’s the real deal. Well timed article I posted lol

Edwards' mouth is going to cost Minnesota if they don't find a way to get a win here soon... Love the kid's game and he's got a bright future, but he's still got a ton of growing up to do.

Some want to obsess about the tech he got in Game 1 for the staredown... Regardless whether or not it was warranted, the best way to rectify it is: Don't do it in the first place. @bksballer89

Aging beautifully... One more to go.

Let your tantrums continue @bksballer89 @mr.hockey4242

Is he not allowed a bad game or he must play amazing every single game?

Who said he wasn’t allowed? Just facts for this particular game he sucked. It happens.

He still has to learn how to play off the ball to get open shots. MN literally doesn’t run a single play like that for him.

He’s 22 and the coaching staff hasn’t helped him get to that level yet. You blitz Ant when he has the ball and he isn’t going to have a good points game. Not many will in this league. The Wolves just have to be prepared for it when it happens and run teams out of it. They weren’t ready for that tonight.

Conley being out hurt him. I'm not lying when I say I like Ant's skill set, but what is he... 22? 23? Kid's still got a lot to learn in this game and to say he's on Jokic level as a player right now is ludicrous.

Best player in the game by far. Remember how peak LeBron was so good he'd turn any team he played for into playoffs Contenders? That's Jokic right now.

 

[MileHigh64]

The T'Wolves get credit for waking the Nuggets up. Although Denver beat the Lakers, they had a slow start in every game and were always losing at halftime. The first two games against the Wolves showed much of the same. The last three games are the first in the playoffs where the Nuggets were competitive and had opening game energy.

playoffs are fun, the momentum changes game to game...Minny starts 2-0 on the road, series over...now looks the other way series over

Oh but it's all rigged by the league I forgot
