Get it... they're Nuggets... and they're cooked... like chicken nuggets... that get cooked...
I have seen that one before 🤔
Looks like Anthony Edwards isn't the only one in playoff mode...
😒
Why you have to explain it 😭😭. Now they going to say it's a dad joke 😂😂. Title is perfect though.
🤣
The Wolves make defence look fun. This is special!
Defense is always more fun that wide open 3s being shot in 150 point games.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622because that's basketball: playing defense and offense with maximum effort.
I love this type of basketball. Reminds me of 90s-00s. Let the players play and let the coaches coach. And when tempers get verbal, well, it's basketball, this should happen.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622most teams can’t even play like this. Denver has the personal to do it possibly no team has ever had this level of defensive talent on a roster.
Getting those go to work Piston vibes when they stifled offenses with their masterful defense and limited their opponents to 80.
The physicality is a breath of fresh air... way more entertaining then watching 60 free throws
Yea now that they’ve outlawed personal fouls that stop shots from going in. Thank Kerr and the pussy Warriors forcing this absurd rule change
Totally 💯 agree
@@austinphillips04It’s staggering how many people say this. Just tells me you guys don’t watch a lick of basketball. This season marked the least amount of free throws shot in a season since 1951😂
@@Trafalgar-D-Water-Law23 I don't think you understood what they said, lol.
@@LunaticTheCathis favorite player is probably Jokic, SGA or Luka. The free throw merchants 😂
I know jokic is a generational offensive player but damn, the paint was wide open when he played, he didn’t even try to contest a single shot. It’s wild.
He never does. The nuggets always just have confidence they are going to out execute the other team. Bt jokic needs to start at least trying to block shots
Wait so does this mean if the joker had to play against great centers. Night in and night out, he wouldn’t look as great?
he looked exhausted, normally he at least contests shots, but i think the defensive pressure tired him out
@@Shortballa11 he's their only player they can't afford to get in foul trouble, that's why he avoids contesting shots until end of game. He's not great at it, but is still big and can do it. In both games got 2 early fouls, Wolves also been flopping on him to, to get him that 1-2 extra fouls, and force him to be even more passive, and not to risk that 3-4th fouls, and have to exit game, cause Nuggets have no1 to replace him xD ... Nuggets overall roster is flawed, with nothing "usable" from bench.
@@t-god2439 They would simply cook each other and that would lower Denver's winning percentage drastically
The nuggets refuse to actually prioritize their best player on offense. They are trying so hard to get Murray going and he’s just not delivering. Jokic is continually given the ball in some of the worst places for him to create anything but handoffs. They need to get Jokic the ball in places that take advantage of his ability to pass or score and make the defense choose. Malone and his staff rely on Jokic to just create magic out of nowhere. If they made his life a little easier with spacing and where he got the ball, the rest of the offense could follow.
They cant, the pressure was wild
it wont matter, jokic is absolutely exhausted. There are 5 players at or near 7 feet tall on the wolves. ALways a fresh rested player smother joker on defense. The nuggets are toast man.
Jokic is to slow to do anything when the players surrounding him play like shit
@@Chevy-hw6lw I was just telling my friends this. Rotating Reid, KAT, Kyle Anderson, amd Rudy would be exhausting. Then they all collapse and help when he gets 10ft from the rim
@antviper135 Jaden McDaniels isn't a forward many want to get switched onto them either. Conley's a good defender at the point, Ant is like D Wade out there but with a deeper bag, it's a tough team to beat if you can't beat their physicality. Nuggets were thought to be too big and Wolves offense looked to be overrated but they been stepping up.
I live how they drop one game and everybody talks all this shit like they aren’t the reigning champs
The difference in defence was mind blowing
😊
Going from the Knicks game to that was a crazy shift in pace. Seeing NAW smiling picking up Jamal Murray 94 feet both ways was a swagger I haven't seen ever had me in tears laughing
That should be on posters for any basketball kid to see... you don't need to be an offensive-only player, there's other ways to impact a game.
@@farming4g Yeah well Nuggets aren't done and they aren't going anywhere in the near future. Get Jokic one more accountable player who can score on his own and then they'll be able to win the Western Conference again.
I feel like Lance Stephenson had to have done it at some point in his career
@@zaynes5094 If I was Denver's coach, I would play Peyton Watson 30+ minutes for his size, energy, and physicality. Also, why not play DeAndre Jordan next to Jokic when Minnesota has their two 7 footers on the floor? I couldn't believe that he made 0 adjustments after game 1
It is truly amazing that the coach of the Nuggets didn't get T'd up or tossed. And if Murray doesn't get a suspension, it is truly unbelievable.
And you are right, as a Minny fan, I didn't think this was going to be the outcome after 2 games.
As a nuggets fan I kinda wish he didn’t. They were playing with out composure and Murray hasn’t been doing great this postseason(excluding the last Stretches gets against the lakers). Malone didn’t have any offense scheme as the game went on it was just hope Jokic read and reacts and nuggets hit contested shots.
Worth noting that Ant got a T for merely looking at his defender after a dunk in the same series. Suspicious, to say the least.
@@timholland2129 It's proof that Malone is not that good of a HC and it's really just a matter of having all the perfect players in their positions on the team from last year.
Jokic is definitely the best player on the court, but right now he's being handled easily because he's alone and he's being denied his spots and Malone isn't trying to give any different looks or plays for him. I defintely see them done this year, but they are going to reflect on this series the most and are going to seriously have to make a decision on what he wants to do in the future because the future is definitely not in Denver for him winning.
They need more consistent play and they need a much more reliable player outside of Jamal Murray. Jokic can't carry the game on his back forever.
Only people who think it’s shocking the Wolves wouldn’t be in the WCF mix are people who didn’t watch more than 5 of their games
Nobody expected them to mop the floor with the defending champions like this, we all wanted this series to be basically the NBA finals with two of the best teams trading blows, after the Suns sweep it was notorious the Wolves had a good chance of winning, but not like this, the Nuggets are playing like absolute crap.
@@ArmandoXIIII'd agree with that. I was thinking it would be 1-1 at best
Right on. As a longtime Wolves fan, it's so easy to tell if someone watched more than a few Wolves games this year or not. Few did, other than longtime fans. Everyone else missed out on all-time defense on par with the 2004 Pistons. And its their own fault for refusing to believe anything unless mainstream media tells them to
@@ArmandoXIII maybe before watching their first round performances but after seeing what they did to the suns and hoe the nuggets did against lakers you should have expected them to be favorites at the very least, Do people really think Nuggets would have been able to sweep the suns?
@@ghostfacenasir7248 I mean you could argue without grayson allen for a game or two... maybe? I think if the situation is dire, Grayson allen will go back to his old ways with injuring players if it means his team gets to move on to the second round but also his 3 point shooting was crazy in the first half of the regular season.
A lot of Wolves fans expected us to make a run to the WCF once we saw what our roster and defense looked like at the start of our year but it’s shocking how well it has translated to the playoffs. Can’t believe we’re undefeated
The title is my air fryer after 15 minutes at 400 degrees
As a season ticket holder for the Wolves for many years, I would be surprised if the wolves lose Game 3. Target Center gets loud and the whole state has been waiting decades for this to happen. It feels very surreal, but there has been a special feeling about this team all year.
Ant mn will drop 50 piece he live in that moment
Lol bandwagon fan
Lmfao yeah ur over hyping your skills buddy
Nuggets in 6
Surprised🤣
Wolves defense is sadly an example of what's broken with the league. If you play with that physical throughout the regular season. Most your team is gonna be fouled out. Listen, I love the defense of play of the wolves. I hate how the NBA has become a non defense league in the regular season. Everyone averaging 30 ppg is just not exciting for me. I actually find the regular season play boring as heck. But, why the hell change the way teams are allowed to play the game from the regular season to the post season. I can understand the Nuggets frustration because the leagues is inconsistent. I want teams to play this physical in December and not just May.
Still remember how you thought you knew everything and immediately said the “gobert trade was the worst in sports history” look at you now. #gowolves
What's truly amazing to me is the fact some Nuggets fans genuinely believe the refs are against THEM... if anyone ought to be complaining about refs, it's the Wolves. Ant got a T for merely looking at his defender after a dunk... then, coach Malone literally runs onto the court screaming in the refs face (after ANT just blatantly got fouled), something coaches get ejected for. And no T?
The free throw disparity heavily favors the Nuggets, too.
And the refs are calling tons of fouls on Towns, in particular, because they know its a game changer if he gets into foul trouble. Hes been called for 10 over 2 games, only maybe 3 or 4 of which were actual fouls.
And then Murray throwing objects onto the court at a ref during a play, potentially causing injuries, and nothing. He won't be suspended, either, even with the replay broadcasted all over.
Every sign possible points to the refs heavily favoring the defending champs, and their fans have the nerve to whine. Its just unbelievable what cognitive dissonance can do to people.
Nuggets fans act like they don’t get any foul calls
They’ve had one of the most favorable whistles this postseason
Murray is constantly allowed to whine to refs for his fouls . Malone has on multiple occasions berated refs w/o consequences . Jokic is allowed to give forearm shivers to whoever is challenging him at the rim since the guy can’t jump over a credit card if his life depended on it
Nuggets missing bruce brown rn
Ok and? do you think Bruce brown would have scored 27+ points and won the nuggets the game?
@@jasper5930Probably not, but having a single reliable bench scorer helps the Nuggets a ton. They might win game 1 if they have Brown but not game 2
Bruce brown would be getting locked up and cooked too
@@jasper5930 he’s Good energy and great role player when he was with the nuggets. Why would he need to score 27+ pts to make a impact
@@hennyvtw right? Lol every team needs those great role players to just keep you in it
Jamal threw a towel at the ref too. A couple plays before the heating pad. No one noticed because it didn't make it to the court and someone sitting under the rim quickly grabbed it before the ref noticed. Dude really falling apart in rd 2. It's crazy.
They're gonna need someone to babysit and cover up what he does in the next 2 games, when he loses it again, if they want to stand a chance.
As people told me in years before, ROY isn’t a wins award.
It's also not a team award.
It's wild and frustrating seeing people move or add a new goal post of team success/wins being factored in for something that's supposed to be an _INDIVIDUAL_ award.
Don’t try to act like you thought the Timberwolves were an up and coming team or something you were shitting on them constantly last year and calling the Gobert trade terrible. Just admit you’re wrong
I'm glad the refs are not calling fouls on physicality. Minnesota's style of play reminds me of the 2000s 90s ball when defense was actually a thing and it is so refreshing to see. if Minnesota wins it all, it's going to shake up the league because I guarantee you teams will start focusing on playing defense again.
Well, the refs have gone stretched of not calling fouls on physicality. But other stretches, they do. It's strange officiating. Extremely inconsistent, particularly in a way that helps the Nuggets (many don't notice this because the Wolves won anyhow).
@@lightbeforethetunnel Helping the Nuggets? Get off the crack
This is probably the year where we see the most teams get cooked/ exposed from warriors to suns to clippers to lakers to bucks to Sixers now the nuggets . Mann it’s embarrassing
i wouldnt say bucks because they cant play their best player in the post season
wont say they wont get exposed (river) but not this year
It is not embarrassing at all. Good for the NBA to have new up coming young teams to watch.
Nah not clippers, they were missing kawhi and had all their stars have bad games pg harden westbrook. Clippers underperformed but other teams were as bad as we thought they were
Sixers suns and clippers always been gahbidge
Denver doesn’t have any chicken nuggets left
Not saying the Nugs will get swept, but it sure puts the Suns in a different light...
How about now
Nah Phoenix still sucks excluding a few players
If the Nuggets win game 3 the series becomes very interesting.
I told people last season that if Minnesota was healthy they would’ve taken Denver to 7 games. I got laughed at.
No ones laughing now. The t wolves defense is something ive never seen ever in the NBA. The closest was 2004 pistons or late 80's pistons.
I remember the twolves the grit and grind era in memphis the only is different is twolves have a up and rising superstar while memphis have a couple of allstar but mjssing a piece that take them to the next level
They very well might've, but not _necessarily._ You're assuming they would've performed virtually exactly the same as they are right now, but they might not have quite had the same degree of chemistry and tight-knit uniformity we currently see. You could be right though.
@@donnydogpiss4533 And you’re assuming Denver would’ve performed how they did last year with Jaden Mcdaniels and naz Reid in the rotations.
@@Chevy-hw6lw Oh god you sound ridiculous. If Jokic had one more big-time two-way guard or forward helping him out, it would be Nuggets in 6. Honestly, this will be a huge offseason and I'd like to see Jokic voice his thoughts to the coaches on who stays and who goes. Aaron is washed up, he should be gone, Murray has had some good moments but none in this series and so he needs to go as well. Wolves got a hard task against winner of OKC and Dallas but they can do it. Difference is that Doncic and Kyrie are used to physical defenders and this Denver team is not.
Jamal Murray realizing things ain’t so sweet when you got lanky tall defenders on you, bro was feasting on Dlo and AR not anymore twolves in 4
Stop it… despite 2 game winners, he literally played 1 good quarter against the Lakers. Yes the Timberwolves have better defenders but Jamal Murray is injured, working himself into playoff shape, and having one of his worst playoff runs ever. While I expect Minnesota to win the series, better guards will definitely give them a harder time than Jamal Murray.
@@aurekogaming6600excuse
He played like ass last series too just hit the game winners
@@Newportnews98It’s a somewhat fair excuse lol he’s been listed as questionable for every game. He was quietly ass during the lakers series too, but people didn’t notice as much because of the game winners. If he continues to shoot poorly from the field than the nuggets will likely get swept.
Jamal Murray lucky he's playing the point. If he had to be matched up with Ant he would get bullied
This Wolves team has a lot, and i mean ALOT of people excited, myself included. Even a lot of the older folks who have been watching basketball for years are excited to see a young team play this kind of old school, smash mouth defense that hasn't been played in years. Watching the wolves made me think of those 90s teams, and even the bad boy pistons teams because they were SMEARED on the Nuggets. They didn't let them breathe one single bit. They were absolute pests. It was so refreshing to see. This Wolves team is bringing back something special that we haven't seen in a long time and I'm all in for it.
As a wolves fan I can’t believe how this run has gone so far. I thought we were done for when we got Phoenix and for us to be 6-0 in the playoffs so far has been insane. I don’t know how to feel. I still think we’re the wolves of old and whenever we have a lead I keep expecting us to drop it but we just don’t.
Nah I knew yall had it against the suns
You should feel like Chicago in 86
You are winning the title and I hope you do, coming from a warriors fan
From Sixers fan. I'm happy that you are in this position. You earned after all these years of drought. Hopefully we will got good off season and will build for the next year wisely
Sun's never looked like a good team ever. Why would you feel like you were done for?
What’s really scary is that they are playing like they know no one can beat them but instead of sluffing off they come back next game and play even better, very disciplined team all around.
Wolves are a young and hungry ringless team!
As an optimistic Timberwolves fan, I certainly believed that the Wolves going back to MN up 2-0 was an option. I respect the Nuggets. They deserved to win the championship last season and are an excellent team. I remember this channel saying the Gobert trade was the worst in NBA history not that long ago. You are not unlike the mainstream media. You slurp the stars and your biased favorites. MN sports never gets the benefit from people outside the midwest. The national media just discovered Ant exists a few weeks ago. Last night they just discovered TWolves defense exists. Its been there all year. Ant has been like this, or close to it, for multiple years now.
I like the Nuggets and the Timberwolves. Very well coached teams. The wolves seem to be peaking at the right time.
agree, and the only reason the wolves hadn't won more is kat was injured for over a month.
Kinda seems like the Rudy trade was dumb after how you cooked the nuggets that much more with Rudy gone lmao.
Yeah, respect and its in good faith, not pedantic to distinguish between whether it was a possible outcome or the expected outcome.
I dont think the claim was asserting that no fan believed it was absolutely an option but that no fan expected it to be the outcome
It's funny how people are surprised at this happening, How do you watch how the Nuggets played against the Lakers and how the Wolves played against the Suns and not come to the conclusion that Denver were in trouble lmao, even before the 1st round results anyone with a brain could see that wolves are a nightmare matchup for the nuggets, even their regular season games was proof of this. I'm not even a nuggets fan but seeing how Jamal had been playing and the little success lakers were able to have against them even though everyone apart from Bron and AD performed mediocre at best, this result was on the cards
Minnesota has been playing like this the whole season, that's the crazy part. They can keep this type of defensive pressure on a consistent basis, regardless of what team they're playing. Seeing a prime strong defending NBA champions get dismantled like this is just a testament that the Timberwolves is a serious threat to the whole league right now.
Team chemistry in pure form 100%
2:38 Michael Malone was getting ready to pull the 1st base bag out of the ground.
There is nothing abnormal about Rileys exit interview. Hes always this honest and Jimmys agent came out after saying that Jimmy isnt going anywhere
If this does end with the Wolves winning a lot of us have to re-evaluate how we analyze the NBA. Multiple media heads/RUclips accounts were on record to say that the Gobert trade was one of, if not, the worse trade of ALL TIME. They are now two games away from being, at the very least, 50-50 favorites to win the chip. We are too quick to judge players and teams.
They had their most impressive win of the season last night.....WITHOUT GOBERT
@@jaahnnn coach said rudy has driven a defensive culture into the timberwolves. It sounds like it'd be a clear successful trade if they win the chip
@@rabeechowdhury i just think its funny and ironic that he wins dpoy and they have literally the best defensive performance of the season when he's away from a game he still could've seen his son be born and made the flight ...keep in mind he was voted most overrated player in the league by a players poll. All ironic to me lol
@@rabeechowdhury also being a 10 year NBA vet max salary type and not planning your kids in the off-season or non playoffs is a very rookie move
@@jaahnnn they still mad at him for spreading covid-19, probably more of a personal dig at Rudy more than anything else but I think that's how a lot of people felt given the circumstances of the pandemic. He is the real deal even if he didn't win a dpoy this year (which he did win though wemby should have won it in most people's heads). He doesn't need to plan his kids for the offseason when he has a team around him that he has trusted and influenced greatly with his defensive presence infused into them. When a guy like rudy can do that to a team, his value goes above being on and off the court. It is not like Anthony Edwards planned his baby to be born in the offseason and he's like in year 3 or 4 but I will admit it is a rookie move. This might be a stretch but I see the rudy trade as a hybrid between the kawhi leonard and demar trade but all of the best aspects of it if they come down as champions. In a way it's feel like a best case scenario between the spurs and raptors but all in one. I.e. the timberwolves making a win soon move (raptors but less extreme) but also giving them the ability to continue making the playoffs (spurs with demar).
Gonna need another apology video on the Gobert trade
The fact that Denver, the team with the natural home court advantage, lost that way should concern their fans.
These wolves next to heat might be the most in shape team in the nba
Speak for yourself. You just glazed Jokic and the Nuggets so hard while disrespecting Ant, KAT and the dogs
He called the Gobert trade the worst of all time too. Dude doesn’t know shit
@@aytoozee6759saying that when it’s working out is completely different just a year ago timberwolves fans were disappointed
@@clauzelmoutima6490 sure, we were disappointed and concerned with the results year one. But we definitely saw the vision for the team and the value Gobert brings. The players we gave up are all meh. And we gave up extra picks to retain Jaden. Shipping off DLo for Conley and NAW was key too. Never once did real Wolves fan think this was an “all time bad trade”. The reactionary takes from people everywhere saying as much were, and remain embarrassing.
Stop with the idiocy. This IS shocking. The Nuggets were even higher seeded than the Timberwolves.
Jokic needs to score 40 a game from here on out for them to even have a chance.
Jokic cannot win without help!
I'll take 24 and a win with a liter of cola please
Last I checked this was a best out of 7. Timberwolves have only won 2 of the needed 4 games to win the series. Lets see still lots of basketball left.
Timberwolves be humbling everyone I love it - coming from a Lakers fan
Same, antman the next coming of HIMOTHY
Of course you're happy. Nuggets graped your Lakers LOL
I agree, coming from a warriors fan
Bro needs this
*are humbling
You cooked with this one 😂
Im glad to see you looking more confident and comfortable with every new video! Great work !
The nuggets Didnt have the capacity to solve to break through Minnesota defense without Gobert imagine Gobert returns to the line ups yuppp they are getting sweep easyyy
No. Your main premise is incorrect. The game WAS POORLY officiated. Stop the homerism.
I saw this coming for game 1 not 2 but I said wolves in 5 or 6 nuggets are the champs but they beat a 8th 4th 7th 8th in their title run and twolves I've said all year and people still doubted them they have best defense I've seen in last 10 year McDaniels nickel lock up Murray and 3 bigs on jokic I really hope they get a ring such a fun team even on defense ant is him 😈
Turner was shuffling his feet the entire time…. I get people not wanting it called at the end of the game but it gave a huge advantage to the Pacers on that possession if it isn’t.
We coming back to the old school era where defense actually meant something I love it. hopefully it’s the end of the super team era cause clearly it ain’t working no more. The teams left are more well rounded and greatly built.
I’ll be honest I have never seen your videos pop up before somehow. But I will say I really like the way you make nba content, I hope you see this because this was a great video.
We beat them twice this year on their court as they did to us! So home court advantage isn't in this series
I really thought the Nuggets were gonna take the series. BUT I’m happy to see them so frustrated I don’t like the team just recognize their talent.
Edwards is the grim reaper
This new found energy/attitude is greatly appreciated. Seems like a fun time to be making content
It really is!
Lakers had the blueprint and we got rid of it
They called Turner for a screen that Draymond and the Warriors have done every game for the last 12 years. But those screens get the "Splash Brothers" open every game, so it's okay when they do it.
Good points. I will say even though you say Jokic is ‘putting up the numbers’ and no one else is. He had good stats for Game 1, but look at his turnovers. 11 TO from him in these first two games. He’s lost his confidence in his three point shooting too with this strong timberwolves defense. He’s not used to not being able to out maneuver the other centers. I hope the wolves win this.
One team can play as physical as it wants the other can’t. That’s the difference
I love when series get physical like this. So much more fun to watch. Go Wolves from a Cavs fan
Grew up watching the wolves, went to Timberwolves basketball camp, feels great to see the Wolves out there killin it
Side point, but a series like this is why we get so angry at the refs. This is generally good officiating. This is what we want and we know that the refs have the talent to officiate this well consistently. Why they don't needs to be addressed.
I have to chime in here, I'll put it this way, when I see Jokic get fouled three times in about five seconds and nothing is called (at home) and these non-calls happened over and over, you know something is clearly off. I watched the same nonsense happen in the Lakers series, if it weren't for terrible calls L.A. wouldn't even have gotten their one win. At one point the calls for LeBron got so silly that even the refs couldn't do it anymore, because they knew it's on camera and we can all see it. The league was trying to have a "passing of the torch series", LeBron vs Edwards and it didn't pan out. Now, they are trying to create the new face of the league, by pushing the Nuggets aside... I'm not saying, the Timberwolves didn't win, I'm just saying they are clearly being helped along...
Speaking on Pat Riley- he also said Butler wasn’t gonna be available for trades this offseason so I’m sure they’re gonna try to work something out to keep him; he embodies their culture so much I’d doubt they’d just want him gone, no matter how much smack he talks lol
Yeah...this is 90s' Basketball, and that's what the NBA needs right now. That's what separates the men from the boys. Enough with the cup-cape Basketball.
AGREED. Miles' moving screen MUST be a NO-Call by Refs!!! Refs need to understand the Unspoken RULES of the final possessions. Refs SHOULD NOT determine the outcome of the game. Therefore, they should ONLY call a foul that MUST be called. A SLIGHTLY moving screen is not a MUST-call, therefor it MUST be a No-Call.
3:03 “Jokic has been good he’s been putting up his numbers” huh? What series are you watching?
The Defending Champs at 5280 looked like Beetle Baily after the Sarge beat him up*
*Ask your grampa
I used to love counting out the Wolves by default. Those days seem over with ANT-Man leading the new culture there. Good for them. I'm a Spurs fan, so looking forward to some battles in the near future.
knew the nuggets were getting spanked once MPJ started passing the ball instead of taking transition pullup 3s
There are very few players in the league today who would be able to deal with the physicality of the 90’s and earlier, especially from the Bigs. Jokic is unbelievably skilled and an underrated athlete, but usually Denver is the team that frustrates people on defense. Aaron Gordon is a tank, Caldwell pope is a good defender, Murray is an average defender but he’s not afraid to take a charge. But the Wolves have an identity where they don’t give you anything for free, and they don’t take possessions off. The Nuggets also don’t have quickness/explosiveness. The wolves have size at every position and guys who can beat you physically either with strength or speed. Jolie has to catch the ball deeper in the paint and do a move, or countermove and score. He’s working too hard bc he’s catching the ball outside the paint and having to dribble and body people for 7-8 seconds of clock. That’s exhausting. If he can get some easier buckets early, rather than looking to get his teammates involved, he’ll be fine. He’s gotta look to attack rather than facilitate and then his team will follow.
When you make a video like this, if the Nuggets somehow overturn the series, you deserve all the laugh and embarrassment afterwards.
It’s not that serious I promise but you do you
@@SportingLogically "Cooked" - you never call champions cooked when there's still a long way to go, esp. they've overturned 1:3 multiple times.
@@harderway8568 Nuggets are straight cooked dawg
@@harderway8568 As a longtime Wolves fan, I predict we win the series but only because our team understands and respects who they're playing against. The Nuggets could turn it back on at any time and they know that, so they won't ease up.
@@lightbeforethetunnel You guys really deserve to get at least that one ring, after all those years of disappointment.

Just won game 3 by 20
This is a true 90s series of ball. It’s making a comeback. Hopefully the modern softness will wither away.
And the gen Z fans are crying about it now b/c their fav players that are foul merchants don’t get the soft calls they get in the regular szn
If OKC advances , it’ll be hilarious to see SGA stop getting those calls
4:09 the lakers in 2020 figured out jokic but for some reason they dropped that gameplan. wolves in 4
Here after 2-2
Im a wolves fan that watched most of our games this year. Im not shocked, i had us winning in 5
And in the end it went to game 7 that looked like a Denver win for the first half
Minnesota absolutely crushed and dominated Denver on both ends of the floor, but this was also a poorly officiated game, with: contacts called for one time and not for the other (mostly uncalled for Denver because referee seeing 5 guys defending for Minnesota vs 1 or 2 for Denver), KAT doing like 5 uncalled fouls, Murray and Malone not ejected and so on...
My favourite player in game 1and2 was surely Reid, hope he will make big money in a couple of years. Also Alexander-Walker smiling while defending is some KG shit, I loved it.
Oh by the way, loving your videos, expecially lately, since when you introduce some bloopers and some commentary on comments you get.

I’m not a fan of both teams but Jamal murry should absolutely get suspended. It’s such poor sportsmanship on his part. “Hoping he does not get suspended” is just favoritism
This is why you keep players like Jeff Green and Bruce Brown, who comes off the bench with a spark.
I was confused when they let them walk and didn’t really do much to replace them.
They’re already over the cap. Pacers offered Bruce Brown more money than Denver could afford to.
I was hoping we’d have at least a year or two before the wolves got this good :/
These young dudes are crazy though. My team is down 0-2 but the saddest part of the playoffs is that we can’t have an okc-min finals
Did you forget? 0-3 in the bubble 😮
This is no surprise to me. They been looking for pieces to put around KAT every since Jimmy Butler left now here it is. Surprise
Speaking of Butler... all that Butler / Wolves drama has aged as badly as it possibly could for Butler. It exposes he was the problem.
Update ?
Me when I've finished making dinner:
it's gonna be so disappointing to go from this series with the Wolves allowed to play even better D to them being in foul trouble bc they breathed on Shai.
The disparity between the 2 series is ridiculous
Well?
The 4 day gap between games 2 and 3 is a crime in this series. All the momentum the wolves have will be difficult to carry over. I get they want to keep the series in line and maximize viewership, but it could give Denver an advantage in avoiding a sweep.
u saw it coming in the lakers series the nuggets are not the same
This aged poorly I know it’s not over until it’s over but they did Tie the series
Coach Malone was trying to get kicked out of the game intentionally. I think he could tell what was about to happen to his team at this point 😂😅. The ref chose to keep him in the abyss
That screen on the Knicks was the right call he ran up to him n never stopped moving his feet jus cuz refs don’t always call things don’t make it right that they not call it n I feel they was making up for how they been doin the Knicks b4 that
Big respect to pat Riley for what he said abt butler
Yes I think he's speaking what many want to say about Butler. I suspect many appreciated that, particularly former and current teammates
lol you were right on the money with the Murray fine
The Knicks and the Timberwolves are winning because they are playing more physical, which should be how the playoffs should be and how it used to be. Not dirty, but physical.
This aged well 🤣
It did
I was only able to watch the first half of this game, but I watched most of the Knicks-Pacers, so maybe it evened out a bit, but to me, it's moreso the consistency of officiating. When you look at someone like Brunson who gets calls so often over tick-tack fouls and then you tune into this game it's like night and day. Going both ways too. There needs to be some consistency there in my opinion. Either let them play more physical which is what I personally would like to see, or call the fouls. I know there's a "star player" treatment in baiting foul calls, but still. I don't know if it's suddenly a change of initiative with Silver wanting more physicality now after seeing the amount of people upset with 140-140 games and soft fouls, but it shouldn't be this noticeable.
In regards to that Indy-Knicks illegal screen, it did look like Turner moved a bit on the screen. I think that was the correct call unless you WANT physicality like I said earlier. What we didn't mention is that toward the end of the game, the refs called a kick ball on Indiana when the replay clearly showed it wasn't kicked, and they would've challenged it, but you can't challenge kick ball calls. That alone kills momentum and keeps more time on the clock for NY to make plays. Gotta give it to Brunson though, that man got ice in his veins.
Also, Minnesota just has such incredible depth. Naz Reid and Nickeil are probably some of the best players you could have off the bench. Conley is such a great vet to have too, I've liked him since he came into the league. KAT playing well on both sides. DPOY Rudy. McDaniels too and then you have Ant breaking out into superstardom at the right time on top of it all. They also match up very well to Denver too just in general.
Ouch!!
look at that ayton defense on the wemby three!
How 'bout them Wolves!?!?! LET'S GOOOOOOO
Nuggets just came off a chanpionship season and going back to back in the nba is really hard considering they lost a number of key bench players from last season, plus KCP and jammal murray are not 100%. If they lose to the twolves hopfully the nuggets upgrade thier bench in the offseason, i also think they need a upgrade in the back up centre position to reduce the workload on Jokic,
This entire playoffs outside of a few good 4th quarters, Murray has been a big liability. They keep starting games in huge holes because he's been absolutely awful in the 1st half of every game outside of game 5.
