Nuggets-Timberwolves Reaction: Ant Edwards & Wolves BLOW OUT Denver w/ Nerd Sesh | Hoops Tonight 

Nuggets by 60😂😂😂 for real. It is crazy though. To me I think it’s because of how talented the league is all around especially with the 3 point shot nowadays. Good and bad games happen no matter how great you are and I feel like having a bad game can just be terrible a lot of time in todays game if that makes sense

It is not that bizarre. It is all about how much body contact the referees allow.

As a wolves fan, I can’t even dog on you for picking your team by 60. Literally anything is possible. This series is absolute pure madnesss.😅🤯🥵

I'm flabbergasted. Wolves looked so defeated in 3-5. Welcome back. Game 7? Just hoping for a good one!

@@jayy.8274 I don't disagree with that take. The Nuggets are a more skilled team than the Wolves that are mostly about size and physicality. The officials completely swallowed their whistles in games 1 and 2 and essentially let Minnesota mug and hack Denver at every turn. Game 6 was a return to that kind of neanderthal 90's officiating. But still that doesn't explain a 50 point deficit. That was just a careless and even arrogant Nuggets performance because they believe they can't be beaten in a game 7 in Denver.

They avg 114 pts. Wolves avg that now. In todays NBA only good for like 17th.

​@@realasitget3552you gotta compare relative to era pal

Nah this ain't it the 17 warriors are the best team of all time and would dog walk every team in the league this season and I HATE the warriors You keep ur offensive rating that team was unstoppable​@@realasitget3552

Damn i stand corrected then lol

​@@realasitget3552no. Of points means nothing. The only important stat is points per offensive possession.

Sure but if murrsy would play like last year it would be clearer kat outplays him worlds

AG performances are not outliners. you don’t watch enough Nuggets games to know he’s capable especially when he get those easy back cuts to the rim. AG has done this all last year playoff run. and every team will occasionally get a game from guys off their bench. those guys are capable too. they’re also getting outlier games from Jamal and MPJ with bad games. but that’s no excuse just saying it’s not as clear as “well this guy doesn’t usually score 20”.

Yeah as. MN fan I think Gordon is a beast. I feel like the KCP and Holiday 3's came back to the mean though. They were hitting on a ridiculous pace.

They could literally do it if just Murray and Jokic are on but it’s been so disappointing we really have not seen “playoff Murray” at all save for select game winner shots which is cool but you’re kinda like if he could figure out his matchups and look 100% we’d get that fatal Denver offense every night I kinda think he’s to blame for not taking the pressure off Gordon KCP, Holiday, MPJ, etc.

They have their own channel. I just don’t find them as entertaining without Jason in the mix.

Yea even tho I am C’s fan, people tend to forget he’s only 26, and they are not giving him enough credit when he hasn’t been aggressive because the team doesn’t need him to. And as for the” he wouldn’t do what Shai is doing or Brunson,” Tatum hasn’t been in that situation through the post season bc his team is so well rounded and everyone can score so I do think that is a lil overblown.

No

Whoever wins this series is losing in 4 to Boston lol. No team that loses by 30+ is a a championship team

@@ny3793 lmao.

@@ny37932022 warriors lost to the grizzlies in a closeout game by 40 lol

Boston cannot beat either of these teams. Jayson Tatum is not good enough. His whole game has turned into dribble pull-up three. No. You can’t win championships like that. Tatum has no athleticism and can be locked up by athletic wings like McDaniels, Edwards, and Porter.

I think it would be cool, just wonder how it would go since Nick doesn't really analyze on this level of play by play x's and o's

make it explain losing by 45 then

@@userusernameuser he already did. one was facing elimination, the other was not...

@@MJisGoat797 insane excuse but ok

Cope

I mean Denver took out the starters in the 4th

Thats what im saying. People are lile deah a game i its close. Man just no

No one hating he's just not as good as a leader or game takeover as other players

He had numerous meltdowns in decisive games. If this changes - the way he’s perceived will change

Fortunately Celtics aint winning anything. They need a super star to win.

Disrespect? He’s done it to himself. Yes he’s had great moments in his career. But the 22 finals he got outplayed by Andrew Wiggins. This year he has been pretty average in the playoffs. He’s beating but but he’s playing poverty teams. And if he doesn’t win a ring with this stacked roster, then we’ll lose all respect for him tbh

When Logan said he didn't have him in his top 10 players entering the playoffs literally he doesn't know basketball. Tatum is only behind Jokic. He's definitely better than Luka. Luka is an absolute liability on defense. Dude is a statue, and his man just breezes by him without resistance

I'm not. They got into their complacent mode after they took that 9-2 lead very early on and Minni took full advantage of their lackadaisical play. Then, Denver attempted to come back by chucking 3s which failed miserably and Minni took full advantage of that with easy 2's and good offensive rebounding. Then the Nuggs just said screw it and put in their backups. I guarantee game 7 will be much less lackadaisical from the home team.

Believe there was a TV timeout in the middle

agree that brunson Is doing less and against weaker teams but isg i haven't seen shai play real Defense in this series. He's just a weak side defender that gambles on steals (i get that he Is great at It but Is just gambling on defense he's never on pick n rolls forcin ball handlers to take bad shots) and he Is one of the main reasons why pj Washington had multiple 20 point games (he wasn't the only reason but he was the primary Defender for half of his points at least). Mabye that has to do with the higher load that he has carried in this playoff but definetly he aint played real Defense this series at all

@@darckgamer382 fair point

Personally I’d say the odds are about 65-35 in favor of Denver

​@@ezyryder11 60-40 😉

Like the 2017 Warriors just never existed 😂

I dont even know what your trying to say😂

Don't think they'd make it this weird & obvious with the huge swings

Be more insecure with your comment, maybe more emoji's?

@@bossaudio12 Dion Waiters/ best heat check performance

I’m telling you bro I get that Minnesota has the best defense but Boston has the top two offense and defense. You get Minnesota into their tendencies, they’re floor as an offensive team sucks

​@@SeunAdekoyaceltics play the cookie cutter east.

@@zachphillips7997 Celtics can only play who is in front of them and they handled the competition well. All we can base is how the Celtics faired well against the west in the regular season and they played the west very well

teams like boston okc dallas and nuggets are built to shoot threes...it's weird to say anything against it...even the old warriors sometimes shot poorly from 3...

Ya nuggets couldn't do anything in paint so they died on the 3 game

Refs didn’t make Denver miss 60 shots lol 🤡 They were missing wide open 3s. But whatever makes you feel better

ant dosnt have the sga level downhill capability. as an example heck out this video from game 4 v mavs. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--N51e9RZXjk.html go to 58 seconds and watch him cook pj. no extravagant moves but 3 things stand out: 1. his TIMING. he times his burst so that he takes off when pj's feet are still shuffling. first he plants his right foot w/o pushing off. he just sort of hesitates on it for a second w his left foot in the air. then pj reacts by moving to his right at the same speed shai had been going previously. but as soon as pj picks his feet up shai pushes off the right foot to get by him. blows by pj without a fancy dribble move or even a change in direction. similar to the move jason was talking abt after game 4. the thru the legs w slight hesi go jawn 2. his FOOTWRK. n this is a simple but underrated part of the game....so to truly get by a guy and maintain your dribble you have to protect the ball. its easiest if you get your body between the defender and the ball. the way you do that going down hill is - getting your foot thats opposite the direction you're going outside of the defenders foot closest to the direction youre heading. in the video look at how shai swings his right foot around to secure position as soon as he's exploded off of it. peep...after the burst off his right foot he takes a tiny step with his left foot that doesnt even get him anywhere. but its so that he has more time to get his right foot on the left side of pjs right foot lol i hope yall can follow that. master this simple thing and it will transfrom your game off the dribble. 3. the ANGLE he takes. not only does he take a tiny fast step w his left to set up the footwrk, he also takes it wide as hell. the angle is wide enough initially that he knows that a. pj wont be able to beat him to the spot n b. that he also has enough space to get his body/right foot between pj n the ball. once he realizes he has more than enough space he uses his left foot to plant and sharpen the angle n get down hill more quickly you'll see pjs first attmpt to stay in front was so different that where shai was actually going that to recover pj had to turn his whole body sidewise and run towards the rim to stay attached. ... below are some things that helped me develop these skills. for TIMING and anticipation - a game called HOT HANDS. its a game when 1 person puts their hands face down on top of their opponent's hands face up. n you score if the person on the bottom can smack the top of their opponents hands b4 the person on the top moves them. if the person on the top moves them b4 theyre slapped the players switch positions. offense to defense defense to offense. tip : the 101 move is, you try to fake em out like youre going to attempt a smack and they will inevitably pull their hands back without you attempting to score. obv they have to put their hands back on. when they do, you time your slap to hit their hands the instant they put their hands back on. its wrks damn near every time. it wrks exactly like a a jab-go in ball where you jab step then act like youre headed back the other direction and then BOOM almost instantly you drive the direction you jabbed. ima gonna fid a clip of this. for FOOTWRK just practice swinging the leg around v cones then eventually in pick up etc.. for ANGLES i think playing CB in football help. we used to do pursuit drills were they would start a RB on the sideline at the lien of scrimmage, and the CB in his position 5-10 yards off the line on the opposite side of the field. when coach blew the whistle the rb would sprint to score n the cb's objective was to make a tackle to prevent the score. on ly way its possible is to take a good angle. n that angle depends on your ability to gage how fast you are and how fast they are and how much ground you need to cover. def built up my understanding of angles

The Nuggets averaged a 127 offensive rating in the previous three games because they have arguably the greatest offensive engine in NBA history. This is all time offense versus all time defense and seeing which one can get the better of the other that’s why people were intrigued with this series and thought it would go 7 it just didn’t go the way people thought.

Jokic is great but people be overrating him all time and loving him...he plays in a soft era where he doesn't have to defend the post against bigs that rebound....

i thought murray was clutch??? lol how bout porter? gordon? give credit to wolves defense!

​@@noijiheveryone says wolves defense is crazy good but a player like murray with 3 50piece in playoffs and 30avg lakers ladt year wolves 30piece cant be completly defended he is injured and plays shiiiiiiit. Porter and ag are very good but only with jokic and murray play making just like every other 3rd or 4th option

​@@noijihmurray also so much open shots its not only the great defense i mean ant or jokic scores 40 on all defensive team players

@@Serenity01871 i get your point but saying that jokic doesnt have help is a joke! Denver got pieces that's why they are one of the best teams. Players around jokic weren't making shots and wolves put bodies on jokic that's why they lost period

Jokic is amazing, but like every all time great, an inconsistent team can cause trouble come playoff time.

🧢 Jamal saved Jokic ass many many times

@@jbivs9072 when, when he made shots in last seconds but placed team with his shit game in such position, it was not even his to take, he is just another Gary Harris, you will see him without Jokic, he would be great for the G-League

@@georgesredo7185 😂 Gary Harris comp is crazy. I know you’re upset nuggets lost but that’s a ridiculous statement

Murray is paying whole playoffs like crap, 11 games in a row. Even those 2 shots that crushed lakers came from 9/24 nights. I first tought he had one bad game, then 2, but now its 11 games in a row, now it's not a fluke, it's reality. They are not winning a chip, even if Jordan leads them, if their second best player is downgraded to sixth man performance.

@@vladislavsimovic899 He is not even at 6th man level performance. His performance is more like cumulative horrible performance of 2 horrible role players shooting 2/9 and 1-2/9 and loosing a ball or 2 each with complete lack of defense.
