Nuggets frustrated. I always feel like that’s a sign a team is outmatched.

Mark Davis would have ejected three Celtic coaches if that happened with us.

Wolves are freaking deep and big. Nuggets would get swept if they lose this. Jokic won’t last to 4 games. He looked tired already.

Yup. They know now they are in deep **** with these wolves.

Nuggets finding out they aren't playing the Lakers anymore.

It’s nice to see a team play great D like Minnesota without dumb gimmicks or holding guys every possession.

Reid is a stud.

Nuggets getting punked. I think they miss Bruce Brown. I thought Wolves were the toughest match Cs faced this season due to their length.

Malone lost all his smugness and snark. Champs are frauds?

Lol. Doin this suffocating D without Gobert. Murray getting bothered by wolves length.

The Wolves defense is the best I’ve seen in a long time

Bruce Brown filled like three voids for them, they miss Jeff Green too.

That was a hell of a block by Peyton Watson

Frauds. Sucks we choked last year. We would have been a better match up.

How much is it the wolves defense is Great? and how much is it They are allowed to get away with a hell of a lot of hand checking?

Brown and Green are their entire bench last year. Gave them an added scorer last year.

They are good.

It’s hard to really compare just based off the raw derive rating numbers but this Minnesota defense is just monster like that 2008 Celtics team dare I say.

Lee Van Cleef · Post #1739 » by **Lee Van Cleef** » Tue May 7, 2024 2:47 am

Looks like the Nuggets finally met their kryptonite. Wolves are too big, too deep, too well organized in defense. And they have the Antman.

nuggets look like they didn't know there was a game and Im not making fun of them, this is a wow moment.
