Just when everyone in the media picked a sweep 🧹 in favor of the Timberwolves after they went up 2-0, the reining champs will be the ones to do some late sweeping by winning the next 4 in a row to make it a 4-2 series. Playing the Lakers in the first round is the primary reason for the 0-2 start in this second-round matchup. That is, the Nuggets felt overconfident, thinking they had just beaten the best team in the West with a gentleman’s sweep of the Lakers. They entered this series as if it would be a walk in the park. But when the media immediately went from calling the Nuggets a dynasty to predicting a sweep for the Timberwolves overnight, the champs were awoken. The Timberwolves won’t win another game. Count on it. 4-2 Denver.

What a statement game! Jokic "he doesn't play defense" 3 blocks + 3 steals this game :) So many delusional commentators! Nugs are champions for a reason! More focus + some adjustments = fewer mistakes = win. That's the beauty of POFF basketball - adjustments, changes of tactics, momentums, and rhythms, individually and team-wise. Welcome Murray "blue arrow" as we hoped, Aaron CURRY Gordon :), Porter sniper, Joker MV3 and smart moves by Malone, best "players coach" in the league! Morale and focus boosted in the toughest moment! In a vital game, of such importance, POFF experience means so much! One without it (Minesota) has got legs heavier, arms shakier, water in ears. Vise versa, ones with piles of it (Denver), bring up their best basketball. BRAVO!

@weights250 12 дней назад

Is it still good defense if he gets 3 blocks 3 steals but allows 12 layups past him? Just asking for a friend.. It's not a coincidence that Denver won the one game [of three played so far] that didn't allow any physicality. I'm not saying officiating was unfair. I'm saying across the board starting in the first quarter, they didn't allow physicality and immediately started called ticky tack fouls. This favors an offensive centered team. IT'S THE PLAYOFFS 😅 Why in the world would the refs randomly switch it up 3rd game and completely officiate differently than the first two games? Perhaps the league didn't want a sweep 🧹 ? Denver needs our guards to back off to have a chance to win with their offense.

No one talks about the bubble chip because it was like winning your ymca league.

If the nuggets end up doing a comeback and winning the series, there will a lot to blame on nba for not suspending Murray for his antics in game 2 😅

@ryanmahon1 12 дней назад

100k is a pretty reasonable fine if you aren't gonna suspend

We don't care

Imagine wanting an opponent suspended so you can win....

Not surprised when that scenario would happen. All those talking heads from ESPN, Klutch Sportz and sports personalities alike (like Gilbert Arenas) would be their headline.

to be fair Lebronto was quite memorable and it was a sweep

We will see if my Twolves can bounce back tonight!!!! We won’t shoot that bad or play that weak of defense again, very hard to beat any NBA team three games in a row! Antman will drop over 30 tonight and Rudy needs to really step up his game!! Kat shoot more and no fouls!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love the Pod❤❤❤

I feel like in the Lakers series the Nuggets knew that would be an offensive series meaning even if Denver played at 100% on defense all game they probably couldn’t stop the Lakers consistently so instead they paced themselves to give 100% defensive effort in the 3rd quarter when they knew the Lakers with 2 older stars (AD is a old 31 to me personally) would look to slow the game down no matter the score and Denver then started to apply more ball pressure and rerouted guys way more often which resulted in a ton of turnovers and run outs that let them win almost every 3rd quarter. The TWolves apply ball pressure all game and Denver has now realized we can’t just out execute these guys and play 1 quarter of defense. In this series because Minnesota is so great at the point of attack Denver has no choice but to place more energy on defense and punt some offensive efficiency to get more stops

It’s funny, I think if Thibs was still the coach of the Wolves, he’d have ensured they came out for the kill tonight, but we already know the team didn’t respond to him.

There's no way they could continue the whistle from game 2. I guarantee Silver saw how it was officiated and read them the riot act that he didn't want a league of goons. That was ridiculous.

Jason should talk more about Minnesota's weakness instead. Dont give so much tips to them lol

Who knew that if Jamal Murray could just move normally, and the refs called the game normally and not totally differently from the regular (playoff) whistle, the _WOW AMAZING GREATEST EVER_ Timberwolves defence would just look like their regular (great) defence. There is no special science behind it. The Nuggets just played awfully before and are playing normally now (not great, just normally). If the Nuggets can just keep playing their normal game, I expect the series to be very close and competitive.

JAMAL got pissed when they boooeed.

This sort of shows that Denver made a change and Minn thought they’d could do the same thing. Denver came out more physical and made the changes you mentioned. Denver forgot the fundamentals. This is their actual team playing the Minn defense.

Series was a lot closer than you'd think after game 2. Game 1 was very close. People overreact so much to 1 game. Remember when people thought Boston was too big for GSW and GSW won 3 straight in the finals?

The icon for each team and the score of each team keeps being opposite. So it looks like the wolf's won and not the nuggets. Not a big deal but it's a little odd. Great videos love the content.
