This the problem with Kat's game. When having a bad game he won't adjust to go get some easier buckets. His game looks exactly the same. They need him as the second option to be a consistent 20 every game. If he ain't dominating his matchup with Gordon it's going to be a struggle.

He reminds me of early Embiid when he was trying too hard to be a guard, always staying 22 feet out to either shoot 3s or recklessly bee-line drive to the basket. I give Embiid credit for evolving his offense with that mid range pocket game.

Kat on the other hand refuses to evolve. If he's not hitting his 3s he gets pretty useless pretty fast.

Welp, it's basically 0-0 now brehs, best of 3. A lot of people were quick to write Denver off. myself included, though I didn't get too crazy with it, I still expected them to find themselves and play their game which they did the past 2 games.

Yea, my original prediction was Wolves in 6 or DEN in 7. I had them splitting the first 2 games and either Wolves win both at home and go on to win in 6... or it's a seasaw and DEN's experience takes them over the top in game 7.

So when MIN won both in DEN, i was thinkin "ok not how i foresaw it..." but same end result because no way was MIN not gonna win 1 at home... so it'll be Wolves in 6 for sure. lol or so i thought.

I'd be surprised if MIN loses 4 in a row... but ive been off about how i thought this series would go from jump.

Jordan prolly woulda had close to 60 here :manny:

See y'all don't know Jordan

Jordan woulda spent the 1st 15 or so mins playing lockdown defense and getting his role players confidence and points
That woulda created a different flow of the game

Jordan and Ant can score whenever they want to
Jordan woulda finished this game with 26 9 9 4 stls and 2 blks with a Dub

All those Ant points don't bother a team like the Nugs

This just feels like when a boxer figures out another boxer.

I think Denver got this series and we're getting Joker/Murray vs Luka/Kyrie.

Even if Minnesota goes crazy with the defense and refs let them play more aggressive, Murray and Denver got their composure.
Well both Wolves losses came with Tony Brothers and Scott Foster as the refs… NBA know what they doing :hubie:
