Minnesota is becoming overrated as hell. They beat up fat Luka and 60 year old LeBron with no center and the Curry-less Warriros. I think they will lose to both OKC or Denver.


Wolves' problem is their lack of maturity. I don't think they will play at their best all series.


Minnesota is a deep team with a lot of talent, and should not be taken lightly. For me it would be difficult to bet against them, especially if they would play Denver and their thin bench.


I wouldn't count them out, but I wouldn't put a bet on them because they have a tendency to lose focus. win or lose OKC doesn't lose focus despite being a young team, for instance.

A more aggressive jokic is key here. Hes getting 1 on 1 coverage here. Stop passing.

Sga looks game too. Good little back and forth.

Jokic needs to stop looking for the "right play" and just look to score every time. Hartenstein has 3 fouls. Chet can't guard him.

No point in kicking it out to MPJ for 3, he can't make them.

Yep. Its single coverage too... go to work. He's unstoppable in those situations.

Nuggets defense has been poor...some poor communication
