How Anthony Edwards Will SAVE The Timberwolves' Season 

I love how they talk like they could guard Jokic.. all of em getting cooked

If Kenyon guarded Joker the way he said he would, he would be called with the foul

Kenyon literally said “I’m not saying I could stop nikola but I’d be excited for that chess match” wym brother. And they’re not saying they can guard him. They’re tryna tell Rudy what he doing wrong and how he can fix it. It’s coming from 2 really good defenders and one was a rim protector and one was a perimeter defender

Defence on jokic is easy to play on paper

Kenyon knew damn well he was on that team 🤣

Gilbert is a comedian and NBA combo guard. How? He's too talented man.

Jokic has incredible lower body strength that most people don't notice.

Kenyon does have a point about attacking Joker's handle before he starts to feel out what he wants to do. Wolves were doing that game 1-2, poking at the ball or bringing a guard to show double and showing hands to get Joker to focus on controlling the ball. I am writing this after game 6 and that is exactly what they did to keep him from going off again and forcing the others to shoot. They would double, the big would poke and the guard would swipe from his front to get him to pick up his dribble early or even before he could decide to attack. MNs rotations were sharp as well, they left a few open looks but for the most part they were able to rotate and contest when Joker would draw the double and pass.

I love when K-Mart gives his thoughts on how to guard these bigs

“This mf a octopus?” Kmart be killin my ass 😭

Kenyon talking facts lol "damn you a octopus "🤣that's how I would defend or teach to defend Jokic

Kenyon and Mcants really evil twins and they don’t even know 😂 sitting alike and everything

Josiah getting his Vogue on is nuts🤣🤣🤣

Kenyon Martin 6’9 234 Jokic 6’11 284 There’s nothing Kenyon could do wit him he need to shut his ass up. Kenyon would foul out before the end of the 3rd.

LOVED this defensive breakdown from Kenyon!

This is fast become my only basketball pod I watch and most enjoyable to watch

Talk defense on Jokic all you want, he has seen it all, he has many personalities he (Jokic) will react to whatever he needs too. Denver has better all-around players in the POST-SEASON.

Why is it that people give an opinion and it is deemed as hate. They are just giving their takes.

They have figured it all out. We are seeing future coaches of the Celtics and Lakers. Solutions left and right 😂

Problem last night was Conley being out. Ant had to bring the ball up , killed his off the ball ability early on. Tue adjustment came to late .

Kmart talkin his shit. Stopping joker ain’t easy but that’s a damn good game plan. Definitely a chess match

Sometimes Jok' gotta pop up and show centers, Gobert's boogeyman, Shaq? Run up the score on 'em. Jokic could do what Dream did in '95 offensively.

6’9 230lb Kenyon guarding Jokic... lol he’d drop 40 on his ass every night.

U can tell Kenyon really loves competing n playing defense n he ain't hatin on Rudy..he actually wants to see him do better..Rudy should watch this video man..giving him gems

That’s KM Defense Gospel! Well detailed 👍🏽

Your videos are so chill, always brightens my day

These guys are 100% correct on how to defend Jokic at the 10-13 minute mark. It works. It's also why KAT and Naz can defend Jokic better than Rudy - they can get lower and battle. The problem is they started bumping back, reaching, doing all the things the refs will call fouls. You just stay low, get up in Jokic's body and make him work hard to back you down. It worked in games 1 and 2, and once they tired Jokic out and got him frustrated, they were then able to gamble a bit and go to block his shots or disrupt his passes. So what happened games 3-5? They got passive and let Jokic get in a rhythm. Then when they tried to battle, all they could think about was all the turnovers they forced the previous 2 games - *but you have to frustrate Jokic and tire him out FIRST before he will start making mistakes and get tunnel vision*. So they got even more passive because they didn't want to get in even more foul trouble, and if you give Jokic separation, if you don't make him work, he will maintain his physical and mental acuity and pick you apart with his shot, footwork or passing. Rudy is not a bad defender. He just cannot be the one guarding Jokic - he cannot get low enough to battle against Jokic's center of gravity, and even if he could bend down far enough, he does not have the balance, coordination or mass necessary to stay up on Jokic and frustrate him. Kyle Anderson can't either - he just got lucky in game 2 that Jokic was already frustrated and devolving into tunnel vision so that he could reach in and cleanly poke the ball away. Battle Jokic, tire him out, frustrate him in the post by not letting him just walk into whatever he wants, THEN you can make some gambles on him while also decreasing his shooting and passing accuracy. Its not to say he won't still score, or rebound, or get assists, but it will prevent him from being unstoppable

As soon as they made marijuana legal We are seeing the damage that it’s doing to the brain GA is a top example

Holy shit they're going to Game 7

Denver has already instilled insecurity in the Wolves locker room. Last year, Rudy and Kyle Anderson got into it on the bench in the series against Denver. This year you see Naz visibly upset when Gobert covers Jokic. But Naz ain’t stopping Jokic either. And Kat is too soft, he got cooked by Jokic already too. It’s back to the drawing board for Minnesota next season, I think one of the bigs might have to leave (Kat for not showing up offensively, Rudy for not being enough defensively) Also, Kat does stupid fouls. Like if he fixed his fouling nonsense, Minnesota would be better off. Ant called him out for that in their press conference after beating Phoenix.

The way Kenyon talking about guarding Jokic getting called a foul on the first or 2nd swipe at the ball lol. Defense not the same these days the rule books and refs cater to the offense.

Love hearing Kenyons insights on defense

So how does he have 4 DPOY but can’t play post defense? 🤣🤣🤣 NBA media need to be stopped

Funeral reception level vibez in this pod right now. Jokic cooking these clowns. Love to see it.

I hope they AE can get it done, im rooting for him to be the next GOAT. Passing this test and winning will start that

Picture was crazy

I hope so!!!!

Kenyon was devious as hell with the “but he wants to pass first”

Kenyon also made another good point. I can’t remember the last time I see defensively someone front on a center during a repost. Or even push off the line.

Josiah post defense pic was crazy 😂😂

lol Gil definitely becoming more funny 😅jokic having his way with them boys

The body language. They don’t want to talk no more 😂

Gil with the Scotland football jersey!! Go on son

First time the camera caught josiah hit da Zaa 😂😂

Kenyon allat sounds cute, but it’s easy to say allat vs actually guarding that in person. If you was getting cooked my bigs like pau Gasol, what you think Nikola gonna do ? 🤔

"All Jokic is doing..." champs as players and future champs as coachs

These 3 busters are so jealous of Jokic its hilarious

Rudy self check is wild😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Expecting Ant to save the season isn’t it. He’s a great player already but he needs BBL Towns to step up. If Jokic is getting 40, someone else has to match that. It looks like no one is capable but Ant, and he can’t do it if he’s being doubled.

Everyone shitting on AD but the DPOY getting smacked around too

Teach Martin!!!!!

When the guys get heated, you need to meme that Josiah pose

KMart's dropping jewels for defense.

We’re YALL AT

and yes he is back for Game 7.

Kenyon talkin that shiiit 💯

Anthony edwards is my favorite nba player

Sadly the Wolves are going home. They dropped the ball by not sweeping them. Conley is not coming back, and I’m pretty sure KAT is not playing the next game. He really hurt that knee.

Kmart giving post lessons 🔥

They speaking facts for those who actually hoop..and Guess what they hoop at the highest level !

Minnesota: Pay attention to KMart. he schoolin' yall

They spittin facts. In the post you either work early or late. 1st goal is deny deny deny position. Anticipate where he wants to go, and limit your weaknesses. Be strong without over committing. Thats how you get embarrassed on spin offs and back cuts. Forearm use is a great suggestion. Surprised Rudy isn’t doing that already. All these are not a means to stop someone, but just a means to try and make things as difficult as possible. Jokic was on one in game 5. He was hittin crazy bank shots and blind hooks etc. that’ll happen, he’s a 3X MVP. I’d play the same D again. Shut off everyone else’s water(Porter had 6, Murray was quite and the Bench was limited) and make Jokic put on a show again. Like in a game of one on one, a guy beats you with hot shooting?🤷‍♂️ Cool…Okay, run it back and "prove it” I wanna see him try to get 40 again. We beat them in the same game, as long as Ant puts in 30+

Yall don’t won’t those problems. Joker will be selling barbecue chicken dinners. 😂😂😂

jokic would foul out the entire couch and have triple double before the first half ends 💀

Did yall borrow Martin dog from when he was looking for his cd player

Barbecue chicken!!!! Kenyon would be rotisserie chicken 😂

Shoutout KMART

KJ is not saying he would stop Joker. He's saying he would make him uncomfortable and do some things he dont want to do. None of the top NBA players can be guarded 1 on 1. It's about making that player work for their food.

K.Mart is so right. The defense has the right to the same spots as the offensive player. You got to make him work more. Plus I wouldn’t let him down on the block without moving me before he get there. Picking him up half court which will be less time for the offense to work with on the shot clock. But talk to the refs before the game to see what is a foul and what ain’t one. Like K. Mart said it’s a chess match.

Yall sure do got all the answers that a helluva lot of people who get paid to figure it out ain’t got

Oh yea, the next show is finna be outstanding 😂

I just want more djmeechymeech voice overs of ant!

Added to Our Culture Playlist 🏆

if kenyon guarded joker like that he would never miss 😂 hand on back side w an armbar

11:43 you do all that then he drops a behind the back no look bounce pass to the open man.

You saw how they had like 5 charging calls

Kenyon bro Jokic would bully you so hard you will sit on the bench whole game.

The old Josiah 😂

The first two games was the wolves defense they don’t have that same defense these past few games

Somebody needs to show them a highlight of jokic getting and1s when people reach on his dribble. Same thing kd does in a different position

Joker reminds me of larry bird but 7 foot not just because hes white but his movement i remember watching a video of kobe saying he dunno how larry was so good he looked so slow. Everything they do is slow but they make it look so easy, they know what to do and when to do it

gilbert knew what he was talking about yall

Nobody on the panel has a Ring 💍

Excellent question, Gil…what happened to the layup? SMH.

I do agree with Kenyon that they don’t push jokic off the block. I remember watching shaq the most dominant force ever. Most of his shots were not close. A lot of his shots during a game were jump hooks from pretty far away because of being pushed early. But honestly today no one in league pushes jokic off the block. The moment the warriors popularized small ball that all went away. Now the nba doesn’t know how to handle big men. To start there aren’t that many big men in the league. They are allowed to get were they want. Jokic doesn’t even seem like he’s bothered when he’s backing him down. Or anyone in the league for that matter. I think it will be another 3-4 years before the big man makes ot return and every team has 2-3 big guys.

Kenyon speaking facts

Kenyon was a beast but Jokic is going for 60 on him

Did Gilbert say, "The sons losted to" 🤣🤣🤣

Old Josiah got me crying

It’s not what ANT can and can’t do , it’s about what his teammates will do !

Light Blue guy is the only one I like in this show. The rest didn't want Joker to win MVP and wanted Rudy to shut him down. That's why they mad at Rudy and don't want to acknowledge Jokers skill.

The DPOY doesn’t know how to play post defense is such a wild statement

I mean, they might win game 6. But how does Gil bury the Nuggets after 2 straight losses but doesn’t bury the Wolves after 3 straight losses? And after Jokic is playing at an all-time level.

Josiah looked like he got caught steeling snacks.

5:01 "They not even get'n in foul trouble" --- yall got SOOOO quiet around the Nuggets aint get'n in foul trouble... 🎉

Kenyon was very athletic could jump out the gym played great defense and was physical. People thinking he's saying he would shut him down completely he's not saying that you have try to slow him down or make what he does difficult as possible make him work harder tiring him out if you can

Mcants sounds like Jalen Ramsey Kmart sounds like Willie D

they really believe this shit too that's what is crazy!!!

They blew their chance being up 2-0. Maybe in the next few years.

Kmart is 1000% correct. That’s how we were taught to play defense but for some reason it’s been removed from the game.
