I love how they talk like they could guard Jokic.. all of em getting cooked
Every single one of em
theyre saying the correct way to guard jokic compared the way rudy is lol none of them said they can guard jokic lol
They are providing alternative ways to guard him because what Rudy is doing ain't working. Kenyon had to guard Shaq, Duncan and other great big men so he has so insight.
K mart is his game would shut that jokic shit up fr. It’s for sure his time and game. Remember the foreign players started to come over after the handchecking rule was placed. The zone defense was implemented. It was hard for them to stay in front of American players that changed the whole game. Facts
Nobody said they could guard him you don’t listen
If Kenyon guarded Joker the way he said he would, he would be called with the foul
EASILY this ain’t the early 2000s lol
@@deejayy8303 early 2000s they calling soft fouls too. Also offensive players back then had the advantage.. remember shaq just elbowing everybody and not get called?
@@user-gc1wj8tt2pbet you are the same person who said Bron couldn't do shit in the 80/90 even he is bigger and faster than almost all of the sf and even of of that era
Not really in the playoffs
NBA Is Geared Towards Softy’s
Kenyon literally said “I’m not saying I could stop nikola but I’d be excited for that chess match” wym brother. And they’re not saying they can guard him. They’re tryna tell Rudy what he doing wrong and how he can fix it. It’s coming from 2 really good defenders and one was a rim protector and one was a perimeter defender
Kenyon must have forgotten he couldn’t do shit with Tim Duncan. So how he gone do anything with Jokic?
Defence on jokic is easy to play on paper
This is the basketball version of ‘Everyone has a plan till you get punched in the face’
it feels easy until he put 270lbs on you for 40 mins
Thats why they former players turned RUclipsrs instead of being on an NBA coaching Staff or at a broadcast table.

He goes Juvenile back that azz up and is in the paint so easy on the best centers in the league, crazy strength.
built like a horse fr
Kenyon does have a point about attacking Joker's handle before he starts to feel out what he wants to do. Wolves were doing that game 1-2, poking at the ball or bringing a guard to show double and showing hands to get Joker to focus on controlling the ball. I am writing this after game 6 and that is exactly what they did to keep him from going off again and forcing the others to shoot. They would double, the big would poke and the guard would swipe from his front to get him to pick up his dribble early or even before he could decide to attack. MNs rotations were sharp as well, they left a few open looks but for the most part they were able to rotate and contest when Joker would draw the double and pass.
I love when K-Mart gives his thoughts on how to guard these bigs
He was a solid defender but kmart was getting Cooked by kobe and gasol.

Good job Kenyon, former player turned RUclipsr arm chair expert who couldn't even get a scouting job in the NCAA if his life depended on it, let alone the NBA. You can hop on a time machine, face jokic as a 30 year old prime vet and still be schooled what with you being undersized and extremely limited skillset. Dirk Nowitzki drop 40 on your head, imagine what Jokic would do to you.
And you're talking nonsense. You're just as ignorant and racist as them 🤡s

LOVED this defensive breakdown from Kenyon!
Talk defense on Jokic all you want, he has seen it all, he has many personalities he (Jokic) will react to whatever he needs too. Denver has better all-around players in the POST-SEASON.
Jokic really isn’t the problem it’s the other Gordon Murray Kcp Porter Holiday Braun Reggie Jackson if they can stop all those nice nac shots Jokic stuff is meaningless

They have figured it all out. We are seeing future coaches of the Celtics and Lakers. Solutions left and right 😂
For real. Someone get this to the wolve’s coaching staff! These guys geniuses!

Do that u foul out by half
Sometimes Jok' gotta pop up and show centers, Gobert's boogeyman, Shaq? Run up the score on 'em. Jokic could do what Dream did in '95 offensively.

U can tell Kenyon really loves competing n playing defense n he ain't hatin on Rudy..he actually wants to see him do better..Rudy should watch this video man..giving him gems
That’s KM Defense Gospel! Well detailed 👍🏽
Your videos are so chill, always brightens my day
Ed I'm chill, these nuts on ur chin will brighten your day
These guys are 100% correct on how to defend Jokic at the 10-13 minute mark. It works. It's also why KAT and Naz can defend Jokic better than Rudy - they can get lower and battle. The problem is they started bumping back, reaching, doing all the things the refs will call fouls. You just stay low, get up in Jokic's body and make him work hard to back you down. It worked in games 1 and 2, and once they tired Jokic out and got him frustrated, they were then able to gamble a bit and go to block his shots or disrupt his passes.
So what happened games 3-5? They got passive and let Jokic get in a rhythm. Then when they tried to battle, all they could think about was all the turnovers they forced the previous 2 games - *but you have to frustrate Jokic and tire him out FIRST before he will start making mistakes and get tunnel vision*. So they got even more passive because they didn't want to get in even more foul trouble, and if you give Jokic separation, if you don't make him work, he will maintain his physical and mental acuity and pick you apart with his shot, footwork or passing.
Rudy is not a bad defender. He just cannot be the one guarding Jokic - he cannot get low enough to battle against Jokic's center of gravity, and even if he could bend down far enough, he does not have the balance, coordination or mass necessary to stay up on Jokic and frustrate him. Kyle Anderson can't either - he just got lucky in game 2 that Jokic was already frustrated and devolving into tunnel vision so that he could reach in and cleanly poke the ball away.
Battle Jokic, tire him out, frustrate him in the post by not letting him just walk into whatever he wants, THEN you can make some gambles on him while also decreasing his shooting and passing accuracy. Its not to say he won't still score, or rebound, or get assists, but it will prevent him from being unstoppable

@@aironenise he don't, that's what's funny about it
Denver has already instilled insecurity in the Wolves locker room. Last year, Rudy and Kyle Anderson got into it on the bench in the series against Denver. This year you see Naz visibly upset when Gobert covers Jokic. But Naz ain’t stopping Jokic either. And Kat is too soft, he got cooked by Jokic already too. It’s back to the drawing board for Minnesota next season, I think one of the bigs might have to leave (Kat for not showing up offensively, Rudy for not being enough defensively)
Also, Kat does stupid fouls. Like if he fixed his fouling nonsense, Minnesota would be better off. Ant called him out for that in their press conference after beating Phoenix.

@@aironenise Who's the most impactful defender: a man who can play great 1v1 defense and stop 1 player.
Or a man who guards the entire paint and stops multiple players/teams from getting easy buckets?
This isn't about highlights and blocks. This is about dudes seeing you in the paint and wanting nothing to do with you and dribble back out.
Minnesota fans been watching this ish night in and night out all year -- which is why MN was by far the best defensive team in the league. Rudy has been the foundation of multiple #1 team defenses. He's the ultimate helpside defender.
Stop acting simple and comparing him against a top 10 all-time offensive player EVER in the league. Joker cooks EVERYONE. AD, BAM, Wemby, you name it. No one is giving that dude trouble over a 7 game series.
Funeral reception level vibez in this pod right now. Jokic cooking these clowns. Love to see it.

Nah he’s too cocky.

His time is coming, but every young great went through heartbreak first. This maybe his turning point moment. The front office adjust, he comes back after the Olympics and then next year he out for blood.

I hope so!!!!
Picture was crazy
Kenyon also made another good point. I can’t remember the last time I see defensively someone front on a center during a repost. Or even push off the line.

Kenyon allat sounds cute, but it’s easy to say allat vs actually guarding that in person. If you was getting cooked my bigs like pau Gasol, what you think Nikola gonna do ? 🤔
These 3 busters are so jealous of Jokic its hilarious
Yall be wanting people to dick eat. Just cause that’s what yall do, they talking basketball goof
Kenyon always supports Nicola
"All Jokic is doing..." champs as players and future champs as coachs
Jokic got HATERS
Rudy self check is wild😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Expecting Ant to save the season isn’t it. He’s a great player already but he needs BBL Towns to step up. If Jokic is getting 40, someone else has to match that. It looks like no one is capable but Ant, and he can’t do it if he’s being doubled.
If Towns is healthy for it, they'll make it to 7.
I mean KAT had a good game yesterday day man. With a bad knee
@@Nick-sr4fe He did play decent but he also got fouls early and he needs to stop doing that so he can be available to score. I also don’t buy into the “banged up” excuses. For example, Mike Conley is injured, so he didn’t play and that made it easier for Denver to double team Ant. That’s a valid reason for Ant not having a good game last night cuz of the defensive pressure Denver put on him. They definitely need Conley to help run the offense and relieve pressure on Ant. But if you’re Kat, you still play even tho banged up, you gotta do what you gotta do or stay off the floor for this one and save yourself for the next game. Same thing with Jamal at the beginning of this series. He was not playing well and you could say it was the calf strain, but also Minnesota was putting a lot of pressure on him defensively. Denver has adjusted now with having Gordon or Jokic bring up the ball more and Murray has been able to stop being a liability out there. Hopefully Minnesota gets Mike back and they can make adjustments, or else their season is over.
Just looking at the stats (didn't see the game) Denver took 80 shots to Minnesota's 78.
And Michael Porter looks like the only player that made team shooting % somewhat close.
Minnesota couldn't disrupt Denver's offense. Michael Porter is the only Denver player below 50%. And 7 of his 10 shots were 3s. He only made 2 of them. The rest he was 0 for 3.
He had a horrible night shooting.
Aaron Gordan had 5 offensive rebounds by himself to Minnesota's 8 as a team. But there are no offensive rebounds to get if you're hardly missing shots
Minnesota didn't look like they can make it difficult for Denver as a team to score.

KMart's dropping jewels for defense.
Sadly the Wolves are going home. They dropped the ball by not sweeping them. Conley is not coming back, and I’m pretty sure KAT is not playing the next game. He really hurt that knee.
Brother, are you people stupid? This was never about Minnesota it was about Denver. Better team with best player. Nuggets mesure them, Jokić found the distance and it was over. Its not like they lost 3 games in a row 1-2 points different. They are no longer competitive cause Denver put in another gear

Minnesota: Pay attention to KMart. he schoolin' yall
jokic would foul out the entire couch and have triple double before the first half ends 💀
They spittin facts. In the post you either work early or late. 1st goal is deny deny deny position. Anticipate where he wants to go, and limit your weaknesses. Be strong without over committing. Thats how you get embarrassed on spin offs and back cuts. Forearm use is a great suggestion. Surprised Rudy isn’t doing that already. All these are not a means to stop someone, but just a means to try and make things as difficult as possible. Jokic was on one in game 5. He was hittin crazy bank shots and blind hooks etc. that’ll happen, he’s a 3X MVP. I’d play the same D again. Shut off everyone else’s water(Porter had 6, Murray was quite and the Bench was limited) and make Jokic put on a show again. Like in a game of one on one, a guy beats you with hot shooting?🤷♂️ Cool…Okay, run it back and "prove it” I wanna see him try to get 40 again. We beat them in the same game, as long as Ant puts in 30+
Yall don’t won’t those problems. Joker will be selling barbecue chicken dinners. 😂😂😂
Did yall borrow Martin dog from when he was looking for his cd player
Barbecue chicken!!!! Kenyon would be rotisserie chicken 😂
Shoutout KMART
KJ is not saying he would stop Joker. He's saying he would make him uncomfortable and do some things he dont want to do. None of the top NBA players can be guarded 1 on 1. It's about making that player work for their food.
K.Mart is so right. The defense has the right to the same spots as the offensive player. You got to make him work more. Plus I wouldn’t let him down on the block without moving me before he get there. Picking him up half court which will be less time for the offense to work with on the shot clock. But talk to the refs before the game to see what is a foul and what ain’t one. Like K. Mart said it’s a chess match.
Yall sure do got all the answers that a helluva lot of people who get paid to figure it out ain’t got
Oh yea, the next show is finna be outstanding 😂

The first two games was the wolves defense they don’t have that same defense these past few games
Somebody needs to show them a highlight of jokic getting and1s when people reach on his dribble. Same thing kd does in a different position
Joker reminds me of larry bird but 7 foot not just because hes white but his movement i remember watching a video of kobe saying he dunno how larry was so good he looked so slow. Everything they do is slow but they make it look so easy, they know what to do and when to do it
gilbert knew what he was talking about yall
Nobody on the panel has a Ring 💍
Excellent question, Gil…what happened to the layup? SMH.
I do agree with Kenyon that they don’t push jokic off the block. I remember watching shaq the most dominant force ever. Most of his shots were not close. A lot of his shots during a game were jump hooks from pretty far away because of being pushed early. But honestly today no one in league pushes jokic off the block. The moment the warriors popularized small ball that all went away. Now the nba doesn’t know how to handle big men. To start there aren’t that many big men in the league. They are allowed to get were they want. Jokic doesn’t even seem like he’s bothered when he’s backing him down. Or anyone in the league for that matter. I think it will be another 3-4 years before the big man makes ot return and every team has 2-3 big guys.
Kenyon speaking facts
Kenyon was a beast but Jokic is going for 60 on him
Did Gilbert say, "The sons losted to" 🤣🤣🤣
Old Josiah got me crying
I mean, they might win game 6. But how does Gil bury the Nuggets after 2 straight losses but doesn’t bury the Wolves after 3 straight losses? And after Jokic is playing at an all-time level.
It’s not what ANT can and can’t do , it’s about what his teammates will do !
The DPOY doesn’t know how to play post defense is such a wild statement
Light Blue guy is the only one I like in this show. The rest didn't want Joker to win MVP and wanted Rudy to shut him down. That's why they mad at Rudy and don't want to acknowledge Jokers skill.
He defended both Joker and Rudy when they were thrashing them on the previous episode.
Josiah looked like he got caught steeling snacks.
5:01 "They not even get'n in foul trouble" --- yall got SOOOO quiet around the Nuggets aint get'n in foul trouble... 🎉
Kenyon was very athletic could jump out the gym played great defense and was physical. People thinking he's saying he would shut him down completely he's not saying that you have try to slow him down or make what he does difficult as possible make him work harder tiring him out if you can
Mcants sounds like Jalen Ramsey
Kmart sounds like Willie D
They blew their chance being up 2-0. Maybe in the next few years.
They are done. They had their opportunity when they was up 2/0 and having 2 home games. Denver are champions you need to beat them when they are down and you can't give them a chance to comeback
they really believe this shit too that's what is crazy!!!
I love how they act like Jokic didn’t do this to Anthony Davis or Bam Adebayo last year. The subtle Jokic hate gotta stop. He is simply Him!
