Examining the numbers in the Minnesota Timberwolves' matchup with the Denver Nuggets underscores just how even this series might prove to be. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) looks for ways that each team could exploit one another's weaknesses, including why the Wolves should attempt to speed up the Nuggets on both ends of the floor. Also, two surprising statistics from the regular season matchups between the two West heavyweights.

Jokic is a problem. But we have three bigs. Let's be really physical and get Jokic in foul trouble. If we spread 14 fouls across 3 bigs in return for jokic getting his 5th foul in the 3rd quarter we are golden.

@leonardomoore1868 Месяц назад

@ryaninSartell I have Minnesota in 6 bcuz they have the bigs to offset Jokic.Jokic will now have to play some defense and cover KAT to the 3pt line leaving Gobert down low.

@berlin4103 Месяц назад

Wrong Ag would be gaurding kat. @@leonardomoore1868

@gabrielgreer2493 Месяц назад

Good luck with that. The reason Jokic is a bad defender is he cant get into foul trouble so he never does. The only time he gets foul trouble is from offensive fouls.

@LionMentality1982 Месяц назад

Twolves are a really good team. But my Nuggets playing Bron, AD and the Lake show is no easy task, Especially when the refs were against us too. This will be a good series but 5280 in 6

@superdopehiphop Месяц назад

Refs against the nuggets? LeBron averaged 4.6 FTA per game even though he was top3 FGA in paint per game. LeBron (post leaving Cavs in 2010) and Joker (2 of my favorite non pacers ever along with MJ Hakeem Bird Ant) have arguably the 2 worst superstar whistles ever. Joker no FTs game 5 was bad but he was 7-8 FTA per game outside that game. Games 2-4 Nuggets had more FTA then Lakers every game and +17 overall. Stop believing the trash you read on twitter. Bron 39% from 3, rest of Lakers 28% (many wide open). If Lakers 44/121 vs 34/121 (league avg Vs horrid) or hot 54/121 (again many wide open) lakers could of easily won the series or at worst gone 7 games. I say all of this as someone who bet on Nuggets in 5 and have most of my money on Nuggets to win title, but Nuggets played BAD especially in first halfs. If lakers had better shooting variance they lose. Lakers were up 12-22 in every game! Wolves up 14 game 1. Nuggets down 12-22 in 6/6 playoff games. That’s playing with fire and causes Nuggets to have to expend a ton of energy.

@youngmelo1841 Месяц назад

The most important game between these two this year was the one Jokic decided to dominate. Wolves are just unfortunate to have their best roster during the Jokic era

@jogger2224 Месяц назад

I think the Nuggets are really vulnerable. They are a little banged up. Also we gave them a real hard time last year without Jaden or Naz. NBA 'experts' still have a hard time getting their minds around how special this Wovles team is - understandably. Wolves in 6 - you heard it here. 😀👍

@toucheyang89 Месяц назад

Even though the Lakers lost to The Nuggets, we can take some things they did well. Lakers had leads over 75% of the series, and a lot of that was bc Murray had a hard time getting going early. Scratch the game winners and he was just meh in the series. Jokic will get his numbers, but if we can take away their 2 man game, we have a good chance.

@WaterCurrent Месяц назад

I think this will be the plan. (Glen the Snake Taylor)

@BenGreen1980 Месяц назад

Murray was worse than meh, he was awful. Forget "playoff riser", if Murray just played regular season average, the Lakers would've been swept in 4 blow outs. Vs the regular season his FG% -8.1% 3P% -13.1%.

@somebodycomegether770 Месяц назад

we’ve seen if we let the opposing team’s #1 score and nobody else goes off, we win. Jokic is Jokic, but if we stop all of their other players frkm going off we can win this

@jordanrandolph9868 Месяц назад

That's the key who ever is guarding mpj has to wear his jersey at all times because anything he looks at is going in and then I'm putting McDaniel on Murray and just keep a body on Gordon on those rebounds the Lakers failed when it came to boxing out what's the point of playing good def if you don't rebound

@eternalvernal1286 Месяц назад

2:33 starts

@PlagueRat- Месяц назад

This is lame, the regular season means nothing between these 2 teams. Are you better this year or last year? Last year you won 1 game. This year you win how many ?

@jordanrandolph9868 Месяц назад

They gotta stick to mpj can't double off of him. somehow the ball always finds him wide open for a three

@lukelee3 Месяц назад

Attack jokic every offensive possession. Either tire him out or get in foul trouble. So simple, he doesn't defend and knows he can't get in foul trouble otherwise it's a sweep.

@gabrielgreer2493 Месяц назад

Good plan but Jokic doesn't get tired

@jjmcg9688 Месяц назад

So was LA better than we thought, did Denver take it easy until it mattered or is Denver not immortal?

@lukelee3 Месяц назад

Lakers are trash defensively, AD is their whole defense

Just watched Locked on Suns. Wow, do they suck! Horrible takes. Weak takes. Keep it up Ben! You're crushing it!

@wadehenderson1081 Месяц назад

Nuggets will win this series in 6. I know you Wolves fans want to win now. That's not how the NBA works. That's not what NBA history tells us. I don't care if Antman is the 2nd coming of Jordan. He's 22. The Nuggets are all in their prime. We will outexecute you in the stretch. Lock of the century.

@WaterCurrent Месяц назад

Interesting. I got Wolves in 6. We are not built around Ant.. though he has improved a lot this year. We are a solid team with more depth. And a roster that can beat Denver. If you don't see that now- you will soon. Our veterans actually keep the young players locked in.

@wadehenderson1081 Месяц назад

@@WaterCurrent The Wolves are built by the same GM. Of course I see it. But Jokic owns Rudy. And Ant is still 22. Next year. Minnesota needs more scar tissue lil brother.
