Towns has quietly been putting together one of the best seasons in the NBA so far. Tonight the actual reigning MVP, Nikola Jokic is in Minneapolis and he is looking to show why he is the MVP and why the Nuggets are a title contender. This will be a huge matchup as we got two great centers going at it and two similar systems at play. Look for Beasley and Vanderbilt to also try and get some measure of revenge against the team that traded them.

So excited for this game!
If only NBA aired it, can’t wait until ANT/KAT/maybe Russell, get more primetime opportunities.

Excited to see how the Wolves respond after a great effort in Milwaukee..they can't let up the defensive energy they've been playing with.
Are we getting the hungry Wolves or the "too cool" WolveS?

b2b for the Nuggets, but they also blew out the Mavs. Jokic listed as probable

MPJ hasn't been shooting well so far this season. Hope this isn't the game where he catches fire

Posted the wrong image in the original post. I meant to post it showing that this site is currently predicting KAT as the MVP. I updated it. Obviously, it is nearly meaningless this early in the season but still fun to see.

hopefully KAT can keep lid on emotions, I remember Jim Petersen saying KAT dislikes Jokic since he (allegedly) tried to injury KAT in one of their first matchups
Morris will be tough cover, he's pretty quick and Wolves don't really have anyone to matchup with those type of guards

They outweigh us by almost 100 pounds in the 3-5 spots lol
Ant should punish Barton

Rebounding will be an issue. Jokic will probably give us fits.

Now I understand why KAT always tries to take it to Jokic every time they play haha

I feel like Russell decides when the possession starts whether he’ll be taking the shot, or making the pass. It’s like the he doesn’t react to what the defense gives him. He’s a smart player who makes an awful lot of stupid decisions.

Dlo become weak finisher at the rim.. He used to make those layups.. He's 1-5 now I think.. He needs to finish better on the layups.
