Big Men Feud In Altitude | Official Timberwolves (#8) vs. Nuggets (#1) 1st Round Series Thread

[Lord Beasley]

Sobered up a little. Cot damn there was some bad spelling here.

Anyway, nuggets are a freight train. Everybody looking for a reason that they can be taken down, but ignoring the fact that no one can actually keep up with this offensive.

Joker is hell to guard and murray on his game is just

Take care of Ant
Take care of Jaden

Blow the rest up

Good God

They should trade KAT and just rebuild around Ant and Jaden. Gobert is a clown but at least he has heart something Tinman doesn’t have

Imagine typing some shyt like this out and thinking folks are going to actually believe it.

Jokic and Malone both said MPJ’s play was crucial in keeping them in the game and stimming Minnesota’s momentum when they went on that run during the early 4th

Just keep in mind that poster has an agenda:

Stat geeks like yourself can only judge value and worth in numbers and awards. A healthy MPJ is more talented and more equipped to be the best player on the Nuggets.

MPJ would be the most talented player on the floor, with the skill set and athleticism to take over games when necessary.

They told me I was crazy when I said MPJ the best player on the team.

I see you’ve been running from that MPJ smoke. Remember when you said I was crazy for saying he was the best talent on the team? :bryan: “But but but Jokic!”

Welcome to Alcatraz

Jokic is a head case and can’t handle the Clippers defense mentally or physically. He’s been exposed and clearly has maxed out. So much for the best offensive anchor in the league. Can’t even score on Marcus Morris on the block. We won’t even mention defense.

MPJ is the only one attacking without fear and consistently getting to the basket. Malone has been playing mind games with MPJ since he came into the league. He probably wishes Barton wasn’t hurt so he could bench MPJ.

The best player on the team has spoken.

I like Chris Finch, think hes a pretty good coach who the players like, but I feel like a good chunk of the blame is on him. Watching Denver's offense move without the ball, seem to have a plan when Jokic has the ball vs Murray or MPJ, everyone knows where to be and they get the ball where they can score..

I really dont remember the Wolves generating many open looks for themselves in the 2nd half, especially 4th quarter of these games. Finch gotta be able to run some kind of plays that get Ant going with some space or get KAT some touches where he can score. A lot of that is probably on KAT as well and his overestimation of his talents, but not at any point in the game last night did the Nuggets seem worried while the Wolves played with desperation and only got as close as 3 down the stretch

It's also mandatory for me to be very mad at Jaden McDaniels and very sad for Naz Reid. Two of the top 6 players on the team lost for the playoffs

Keep in mind that Chris Finch was a big part of creating Denver’s offense. He’s a read and react guy, and Denver had the perfect centerpiece for that style, and went out and got other players that fit it. The only high IQ guys the wolves have are Conley and Kyle Anderson, so it doesn’t work there.

Even if they rebuild around Ant going forward, he’s still not going to be his best in that kind of system. I think finch is just a bad fit for that roster.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

The nuggets might steamroll to the finals

 

[Yinny]

Sweep sweep sweep

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

How the fukk isn't that a foul? Refs feeling sympathy for the bum ass T'Wolves.

 

[Morethan1]

I hope wolves lose by 20

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

One or more nuggets getting ejected tonight

 

[Flex Grossman]

Refs been god awful

 

[steph_harden]

Jokic looks he's been on that Luka diet. How has dude been finding time to overeat with the basketball he plays

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Refs drunk.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]
