Re: Nuggets @ Wolves - 6PM Start
It would be really nice for the Wolves to completely blow this out by halftime.

Re: Nuggets @ Wolves - 6PM Start
What's going on with all the offensive rebounds off of missed free throws the last 2 games?

Re: Nuggets @ Wolves - 6PM Start
Wolves losing focus, giving up offensive rebounds and turning it over. Those are the warning signs of things going off the rails.

I know they're missing more players than him tonight, but this is why to me, Jokic is the best player in the league. Just makes everything so much easier for his teammates.

I never hate wins, but something tells me this matchup is going to look a lot different on Tuesday!

We should be sitting our starters at this point.

Finch needs to learn to get guys out when the game is out of hand.

Re: Nuggets @ Wolves - 6PM Start
Why does an expected, 30 point win still make me feel fortunate with this team?
Fun to see some kids. I especially liked seeing Josh Minott penetrate, unselfishly kick it out to Wendel Moore Jr, and get it back for a dunk. I think it’s so hard for limited minutes players to play unselfishly, and when I see it, I commend the players and the coaches for setting up that culture.
I hope that defensive sequence by Jaden gets forwarded to every All-Defensive-Team voter!

Re: Nuggets @ Wolves - 6PM Start
It was really nice of Malone to do old buddy TC a solid and not bring his 4 best players.
But at least we took care of business.
Was nice to see JMac back and Nowell back to the 2, those 2 seem to balance each other out well. Nowell and Russell together, a little too out of control.
We need some stabiliity in the backcourt, it was really nice to see us work the shot clock, be patient, and run the offense in the 2nd half with a big lead.
If Joker is back on Tuesday it will be interesting to see if Finch guards him with slo-mo again and puts gobert on Gordon so he can roam.

Enjoy it while you can.
Did anybody notice Jaylen Nowell was a plus 37 tonight! That's like a whole season's worth in one game.

Yes! And while I was refreshing ESPN’s Standings multiple times after the game, I saw our red 0 point differential jump to a green 0.6 with the 30 point win! More small sample theater, but with the standings so close, small samples are big fun!

Re: Nuggets @ Wolves - 6PM Start
Won a must win game since Nuggets had almost all their impactful players out.
Next two games are going to be tough, but we are literally a Suns & Mavs win away from top 5 in the west...again.

Re: Nuggets @ Wolves - 6PM Start
Arrrroooooooooooo!!!! Finished the 6 game homestand with a 4-2 record. Could've been a 6-0 if they just took care of business with the Kings and Magic. Nice to see Jmac back, here's to hoping KAT will shortly follow.

Re: Nuggets @ Wolves - 6PM Start
getting JMac back is really huge...will also let Finch cut down some of Nowell's minutes
Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
