Wolves were the #1 offense in the playoffs, although Indiana may have passed them today.

How does KAT and Naz defend Jokic so well but Gobert has trouble

LOL KAT is always good for one or two silly goofy dumb plays per game.

What happened to their offense? It is strange.

They were never a good offensive team. Gobert and Anderson stinks, KAT is dumb, and Conley is old. All they have is Edwards and he is not a floor general...yet.

Or if you look at it as neutral fan, this series is finally officiated like other 3 series going on right now, or rest of the NBA this season.

If Murray and others beat single coverage, Denver wins the game. And series.

Jokic = Double Team Decoy
Luka won the trade & Nico got fired

Impressed with Denver's resolve. This is what I expected from the champs. The response to this will be big.

3-7 7 points, Denver only up by 17 on the road.


No doubt the team is playing great but he’s missed three open looks. Not saying he’s playing poorly, just so odd to see him miss these.

Before yesterday everyone had Minnesota vs OKC WCF.

Now it definitely looks like Denver vs Dallas, maybe.

He and Lore hired the GM and pulled the trigger on the Gobert trade. They have done a fine job so far.


Are we giving him credit for that?

What’s interesting is other than Gordon, none of the Nuggets were really complaining about the refs after the games ala Carlisle

Gobert is waiting behind them when they guard Jokic. When Gobert is going up against Jokic, there is no one behind him.

This is how you know NBA is a business first and foremost. This is straight up garbage.
