Michael Malone on the Round 2 NBA Playoff matchup between the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and the Nugs will host Rudy Gobert, Anthony Edwards and the Wolves on Saturday at Ball Arena In Denver.
Malones coaching helped us get a chip that took 47 years In The making. Sure LA owned the majority of the minutes of being up But Denver found a way To get the dub Sure, there was moments I was feeling a type away But from last year’s run this year, we need the highs and lows We split the pair with the wolves But I think our bench Braun swatson Reggie might have to dig deeper. We are hungry for back to back Larry obrian
Can someone tell AG to take a shot if open, he is underrated shooter but always all alone at 3pt line. We need aggressive AG to have a chance against MIN imo... let's go Nuggets
If they play like they played against LA they’re losing in 6. Luckily they have home court advantage so if it goes to 7 I give Nuggets the edge. I had nuggets as the favorite before the playoffs started tho
@@youknow2715 It wouldn’t be an absolute failure. Timberwolves have been the best defense majority of the season. They were one or two games away from being the 1st seed and they were a top 4 seed the entire season. Now losing to a team like the Pelicans in the first round would definitely be an absolute failure imo.
Wolves will be a tough team for sure but let’s not forget nuggets beat them last post season. As far as we know the wolves need to overcome the nuggets not the other way around. Nuggets disrespect continues
This is going to be a fun series. Nuggets lost some depth from last year and have not been shooting very well lately. The energy and hunger from a young Timberwolves team is going to be a big problem. And they have the best defense. I do believe Joker is the best player in the world right now but ANT is no joke. He reminds me of Kobe and DWade. I think it will come down to experience and coaching, which the Nuggets may have a slight edge. But either way this is going to be epic.
Nuggets intentionally played bad vs the Lakers since they were bored of playing them. Nuggets actually respect the Twolves as an opponent unlike the Lakers, so they will play better
No excuses. Wolves were out 2 major guys last year, gobert back injury and Kat injury only played 30 games. Naz reid and mcdaniels out. If nuggets win then it's a chip.
DEN must improve 3pt shooting. Some games are just... terrible. Their style is specific and have a lot of advantages other team don't have. However, 3pt shooting is NOT on of them.
No we won by 11 points in game 1 not over the five games 11 points in game 1 and then we won by 2 points and then we won by another seven and then we won by two we won by 22 points between five games
The nuggets play better when there’s more on the line. They we were relaxed for the the lakers series because they knew they couldn’t lose. Watch how they turn all the way up for the wolves.
@@merlehexum3932 well you're late to the party Dude Denver hasn't showed up so if they don't show up then obviously they can't win that's common sense it's not that they don't have the ability to pay attention they got a good bench they've got the ability they've got toughness the problem is they don't have determination they don't have urgency and they're absolutely not showing hunger that's a big problem when you don't have those things and you're not showing that then yeah you're not going to beat anybody like that
