    Denver couldn’t guard Ant last year and they still can’t guard him. Add in Naz Reid and Jayden McDaniels, it’s a game. This will be a tough series for both teams and the winner will win the chip.

      Bro last year it was 4-1. This year, yes Wolves are tougher, but it's hard to say what both teams will do against each other, denver played poorly against lakers but it doesn't mean it will be the same against minnesota, and vice versa. Different match ups, different approaches.

The nuggets really won vs the Lakers because of the rebounding battle and the lakers not being able to sustain their leads. Timberwolves have better defense, rebounding, and is a younger and fresher team than the lakers and nuggets. There's nothing to suggest the nuggets were holding back or have another gear to go into.

      Gordon can't guard Kat? C'mon man, stop it. I will sit here and give the T Wolves the respect they deserve because they are a good team. But acting like the Nuggets have no answer for the Wolves is absolutely 🤡 status, and disrespectful.

      @@robertdavis2179 Bron averaged 28 on over 50% shooting in that series what you talking about? Gordon is a 6’8 small forward, KAT is a 7 footer with a post game, touch around the basket and can stretch the floor.

    The absolutely juiciest match up of the entire off post season. One of the best offenses vs best defense. MVP vs emerging superstar. Best starting 5 vs the deepest bench. Man I'm excited for this one. Imma go out on a limb and say that the bench will be the difference... Denver got no bench and Minny is hella deep.... I wouldn't be surprised if it comes down to that. Either way it has the potential to be one for the books.
