    The fact that Ant figured out the double team during a game 7 at 22 years old is crazy.

    Without Jokic, nuggets are a lottery team. The fact that he took them to joint 1st record in the ultra-competitive West is alone making his MVP case obvious. He had to play the entire game without rest. Jamal averaged 15 for the 6 games on 30% and the rest of the team couldn't even reach 7 points in a home game 7. He needs help.

      He runs his starters into the ground. As a longtime Wolves fan, I came out of his time in MN thinking he's an extremely over-rated coach. He basically just tried to force his game plan from the Bulls onto a MN team that it didn't apply to. He did a terrible job.

    • @laz0rama
      @laz0rama 4 месяца назад

      as a knicks fan for 55 years, i agree.
      he gets his guys to play hard-nosed defense, but he has zero offensive strategy other than dribble dribble iso-ball, and his player rotations are usually horrible. ALL the injuries can't be blamed on his refusal to use his bench, but some can. whatever that says about current nba players' conditioning is kind of beside the point.
      it's like thibs is allergic to ball and player movement. i think brunson is great, a scoring force with some dog in him and pretty damn clutch. but i f*cking HATE watching him dribble the clock down while looking for his shot, not finding open teammates and forcing a shot. when he's making them of course all is good, but when he's not... i want to strangle him and thibs.

    KAT and Gobert earn my respect because of the way they never let the uninformed opinions of fans (who don't understand basketball is a TEAM game and no one can win with a bad supporting cast) get to them. They've both always been much better players, individually, than most fans realize or the media gives them credit for. It's just that now they have a good team around them, so they're winning.
    KAT, in particular, earns my respect because he stayed with the team that drafted him, accepted lots of blame that wasnt his, never pointed fingers, didn't run away to join other stars, and now he's being rewarded for it. The Wolves will be competing for a ring for many years to come.

But, as you indicated in a recent video, basketball is a team sport. One player can have an amazing game, but if most of the rest of the team doesn't step up, it won't be enough.

    Denver got 5 points (5!) from their bench and they were all from Christian Braun who played harder than all of the starters not named Jokic or Murray, Denver's problem was the same as the Warriors after 2022 - they lost key bench guys and couldn't replace them and it bit them bad in the playoffs.

Sadly, there's a good chance that Boston wins it all this year, simply because they're going to be so rested thanks to their easy trip to the Finals. Of the top 5 teams in the league, 4 of them were in the West

    I have an idea for a video series for you Jonny. I think it might be fun for you to make a video for each playoff team that gets eliminated telling us what they need to do to possibly win the championship next year. You could end the series by describing what you think the eventual champions need to do to repeat.

    I'm hoping they win but as a Minnesotan, we're conditioned to not get ahead of ourselves because when we do, the bottom drops out from under us.
    We've enjoyed this series win but we're not using the word "destiny". Especially after the big choke after the Vikings' "Minneapolis Miracle" against the Saints.

    I think Ant wasn’t trying to force anything. It was early and he is still young. What I have noticed from Joker fans that I haven’t seen before is criticizing a player on the winning team. Like since when do we focus on that? Sometimes great players have off nights and it’s how their teammates respond that makes the difference. Ant wasn’t scoring but he made up for it on defense. That’s what you would want from your start player. Find other ways to contribute. But for Denver it seems like people are going out of their way to make excuses for them. They aren’t deep, the other players didn’t step up. How about the wolves were the reason they didn’t step up with their league leading number 1 defense.

    👏👏 GO, T-Wolves - All the Way to NBA Chip. Been saying since Wolves sent KD-Suns packing. No fluke there. This Wolves team with great defense is formidable and ready for the biggest stage with the pressure cooker turned on.
    No knock on Jokic/Murray (and I really like them too) but it’s a Team sport at the end of the day and Wolves is just a better team in my opinion before the series started. They are the BEST team right now.
    I also like Doncic - Mavs so I get to see two my favorite teams facing off.
    My first team is the Warriors and unfortunately they lack the firepower this season.
