Richard Jefferson just got your memo….said Nuggets are just frustrated now.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

If Tatum suffered against the Wiggins Warriors, God help him against this Minny defense.

Funny how Chris Finch seems to be coaching better since he hurt his knee and sat on the bench. Wonder if sitting gives him a different perspective ??

Wolves really exposing Nuggets mid level defense and lack of bench. They are AMAZING to watch right now.

**** I love good defense.

They barely led in the lakers series. Could have gone the other way actually, if the lakers were lucky.

Celtics D nowhere near this Wolves D when we faced the Nuggets twice this year. Our D is way too conservative.
