Timberwolves-Nuggets Predictions: Will Anthony Edwards send Jokic & Denver home? | Hoops Tonight 

No dog in this fight. Wouldn’t be surprised if Minnesota wins this series though. Should be a good one

audio freaked me out at 17 minute mark😭😭

Thank you so much for this analysis. Go Nuggets!

Excellent analysis with action examples. Kudos to the author.

My question is Jamal Murray's health??he has to be at 80% for the Nuggets to beat the TWolves

I like how everyone here knows everything. 😂😂😂

From peoples comments it seems like everyone is forgetting Jokic is literally the best player in the world…

Whenever I hear top block, I keep hearing something else in my head. 😂😂 #childishmind Btw always good content. in depth and very well said. I live in Denver and you are my go to RU-vid show for breakdowns of the playoff games. GO NUGS!!

I think Jokic will play great this series, I think playing the wolves and spurs at the end of the season playing 2 great shot blockers has really helped him and now he’s played AD I think that has prepared him more for certain shots he will take, that’s why we same him “dunking” the ball more against the lakers. If Reggie can be consistent and find his rhythm im confident the nuggets will win

Bro had a massive audio glitch from 16:55 - 17:27 it had me dying 🤣🤣😭

Dope, ty

Amazing video as always im so glad the lakers are out and we can have your fully nonbias analysis

The keys are every matchup not including Jokic. How tough and difficult Wolves wings Defense on Murray and Porter is what’s going to let us know who’s winning the series

That's an excellent point man I never thought of it like that thank you for that Enlightenment I really you know I saw that but it was subliminal so very good point made their, that Denver strengths were in close games that's a good thing cuz a lot of these games will be close and then crunch time Denver really excelled they excelled in those games that were like 7 or less and you're right, Minnesota actually struggled with those games were close like that they want a few of them but they were not really good in in the clothes games Minnesota they seem to kind of Panic or just not be able to finish in close game so yeah that's why I'm saying Denver in 6 as well

this series is like waiting for the day the big been waiting all year summer blockbuster movie debuts... Saturday is gonna be electric at tip off

This is the series we all expected for sure and it's what we all wanted. Minnesota is a super giant upgrade compared to the lakers team, so Denver Nuggets has to play at their highest and most absolutely perfect against Minnesota. Amazing to watch these 2 superior teams.

So glad you are picking against the wolves again.

what do you think about atson on ant

I think Wolves win this in 6. Biggest reason ? The depth and bench of timberwolves. There depth is insane. Flip side of that Denver has a great starting 5 but there bench is ass and they have zero depth. I just think that's to much for Denver and i also look at the fact timberwolves are younger , faster, better defensively.

Nuggets are going in a massive underdog here . we have to hope something crazy happens

At 13:55, MPJ should've stunted at Ant? It seems weird that he just watches him go by.

last years team is not the same as this season. More polished and cohesive.

They need to let braun guard him. He's super athletic.

Dallas Mavericks beating LA Clippers was the only victory by a lower seed that was actually expected. OKC and Denver were overwhelmingly stronger and totally expected to win in the 1st round, and Minnesota was favored to beat Phoenix.

If health doesnt become an issue Denver should win. Best player+ Home court+ experience....these are real advantages. I'm going Denver in 6

🔥🔥

Lol the fake transition post up is gonna work how many times? A counter you can use a couple times a series at best isn’t exactly groundbreaking. Like is gobert stays at the free throw line instead of picking up ag at half court for no reason, this would be way harder.

Nuggets in 5 like last year. Wolves got nothing on them

I think they got a little lucky this first game. It seems well planned and caught Denver by surprise. We could be looking at Denver winning 4 straight…

Wolves in 6 or Nuggets in 7

Oh btw when you said if he has a series like the suns the wolves have a shot. Guess what he did last postseason?! Oh yeah put up even better numbers. Nice research.

Timberwolves can go 2-3 zone with the zone focusing on everyone except Aaron Gordon and daring him to make shots from outside and two tall players always guarding the paint

I’m pretty sure AG can’t be on Ant if KAT is healthy.

Ant is SO much better than a year ago, these clips are almost not relevant anymore. And none of the regular season matchups were full strength on both teams. This is gonna be a much harder matchup for Denver than you guys are giving credit for.

dude who said the wolves were going to be swept by the suns lol…

Wow… Denver really got away with a lot of fouls against Ant in those clips.

Nuggets in 7.

Huge topic that everyone is missing....the nuggets are banged up after that laker round. Put ANT on MPJ so he can't shoot the three and they can win this in 6. This is gonna be a damn good series

As far as i can see, the Wolves defence are playing dirty. The nuggets can take advantage of that.

KAT won't be as much a deterrent to Jokic, cuz he apparently lost over 20+ pounds while he was out.

Wolves in 5

Minnesota is going to punish Denver on the perimeter and make it hard for Joker to handle this round alone. Let's go defense, Let's go defense. Let's not forget that Jaden and Nas did not play a minute last year.

the matchup are regular season play malone will have new plays for denver who won in that game? denver kcp lockdown ant man in the fourth qtr

Im going with the wolves in 6. Cause Either the lakers are way better then there record or the nuggets arent as strong as last year. Like it would have been a 7 game series if the lakers didnt fall apart in the 4th quarter.

watson on ant

T-Wolves in 6 🐺

If Jamal or KCP are hobbled, the TWolves can win. If they're fully healthy, the Nuggets should win.

Wolves in 6. Lakers didn’t have the size or perimeter defense to bother DEN shooters, MIN does

How are the Lakers better offensively than the wolves??😂😂😂

did you mis-speak when you said AD stronger than Gobert coz just looking at them gobert looks stronger

all that said... wolves in 6

Thunder will win 16. Thanks for participating, everyone.

lol y’all are funny nuggets basketball iQ will win this series and win they do it’s over might as well just give them the championship

Wovles in 6

Jason “lakers have as good a chance to beat the nuggets as the wolves” timpf. We will not forget and be back. Can’t wait for your I hate making predictions back out.

Buddy boy didn't learn after the PHX season. Wolves in 6.

Denver is every bit as physical and unlike Minnesota who is battle-tested yes"" but not derply battle-tested as Denver is " the Nuggets have seen everything and anything and Denver has """ Killer Instinct "" something The Wolves are getting closer too but still not quite at the same level that Denver is at currently

I don’t see how anyone can logically pick the wolves in a 7 game series

His head says nuggets, but he wants the wolves to win so baaad. Not happening! 😂 Nuggets in 6.

Are wolves the most overhyped #3 seed ever? They never did anything with this group and now people think this matchup is like the finals. Give me a break.

Wolves in 7. hoping for a great series

Denver win 🎉

Anthony edwards is better then yok

Jokic can score 40 pts a game and still lose . MINNESOTA can live with that .

Lakers in 8

LOOK UP KATS STATS VS JOKIC. Pretending like the wolves are gonna do a lot of Rudy vs Jokic is dumb. There’s nearly a decade of evidence that’s bad.

9:26 - How Edwards is allowed to make extra step after he stopped and pivot. Is that TRAVELING

It’s hard to pass full team wolf they are locked down defenders and slashers glass cleaning 🧹 and two way arch wolf is just NBA2k 😂

Wolves in 5.

Nuggets in 5

So many people sleeping on the wolves

If Nuggets play as inefficiently as they did against the flawed Lakers, they will lose in 5 games max and get exposed. Jokic and Murray gotta play much better defense if they hope to make this a series.

It’s not that I care if someone picks the nuggets. Jason clearly just hates the wolves. Suns series was the same thing. After the wolves win in 6, same thing but with Jason being an OKC fanboy next? Can’t wait 🎉

Timberpuppies going to the vet to get neutered.

okc in 6

Love the video sampling, JT, but I think you can move the cursor off-screen for most of it. That darn arrow flashing around the screen is quite distracting and it doesn't always contribute to your commentary. It's a small adjustment that most people might not even "notice" but improving videography usually happens in miniscule ways. In my opinion.

Wolves in 6

wolves in 7

Comments section looks like lakers fans turned wolves fans.

Nuggets in 6

Wolves in 4

Suns are small and soft. Nuggets aren’t. Denver in 5

This isn’t aging well.

Wolves coming

The funny thing is Denver won this game! Everyone will see when this series gets going. Nuggets will stomp!

Minnesota is a very good team and unlike other organizations the fans and the coaching staff for Denver we respect our opponents we know that they're good they wouldn't be this far and at this level if they weren't a pretty damn good team that's obvious the problem is we don't get that in return that's what's messed up they don't respect Denver and so for that reason I'm definitely going to say it as it is Denver has players that Minnesota cannot match Minnesota regardless what they tell you about Jaden and all these others know they're not going to stop Jamal Jamal is a handful nobody's going to stop Jamal nobody's got an answer for the Joker or for for that matter they don't have an answer for mpj as well or Gordon they're going to try to tell you they're throwing all these different guys but no forget that none of those guys are going to stop them or even neutralize them, and as far as the bench goes we saw what happened in the last time when Denver beat and destroyed minnesota, Nas Reed was blocked four out of the six blocks the Peyton Watson had were against Nas Reed so Peyton pretty much cancel him out the other two blocks came against Jaden that's right Peyton wants him by himself unbelievable and Christian Braun was just a beast Off the Bench"" not to mention Justin's put in his time Justin holiday has made his presence known and Reggie has actually picked up his game Reggie has turned back time he's looking really good like he did in the Clippers uniform back when he was playing great with them and DJ too and we haven't even talked about Zeke oh yeah Zeke is available he's ready and boy he's another big body Off the Bench it's funny how Minnesota loves to try the the fans tried to disrespect with Denver has for that reason I can't wait till Denver destroys them and totally rubs it right in their face and makes them pay then Minnesota fans will be crying and understanding that if anybody wins in six games it's Denver in 6

Nuggets in 5. Wolves are overhyped

Nuggets in 4 or 5, Kat will be in foul trouble all series if they put him against jokic, Gordon will clamp Ant, And wolves have no answer for jamal murray and MPJ.

Denver played the worst 5 games to start the playoffs and still won 4-1. Round 2 will be different youll see denver straight dominate!

Remember this guy is a Lakers fan. He wants my Nuggets to lose.

Murray plays like he did against the lakers they not winning

In the only game KAT played against Denver, Denver got blown out. All the other games KAT didnt play.

We already know Edwards in a poor winner lets see how he does with losing to the Nuggets, again.

I don't understand this video!? Minesota this, Minesota that! Who cares? If Denver starts playing, it's over in 4! Denver didn't play even 80% since last year's playoffs! What are we talking about? It's all about Denver! I am sick and tired listening about other teams, even when Denver is the raining Champion! Just take the team away from Denver, or deport Jokić from USA! This is sickening! I didn't expect this from you Jason! So disappointed!

I can't take anyone seriously when they say "right" at the end of every sentence. 🤡 behavior

Wolves fans crying in the comments 😂😂😂 y’all beat a trash suns team. Beat the nuggets and then talk about

Minnesota is not winning this. That lakers team was way better than the suns.

Data: las 6 games KAT has PLAYED against Jokic (When JOKIC is guarded by KAT) Jokic has averaged only 37% with only 5 shooting fouls, the lowest in the league during that period, being Alperen Sengun the far behind second place with Jokic averaging 49 FG% on him.

Nah. All this organize film failed to mention that KAT will do things that will absolutely hurt the wolves. And both kat and ant will choke come clutch time. Oh and gobert is absolute bbq chicken, the wolves will be forced to help and thats when everyone is open. AG shooting is also gonna be the xfactor this series.

Here are some facts: 31 of the last 33 NBA champions has had a current or former (i.e, NOT future) MVP on their team. Only 9% of all NBA champs won as the 3rd seed. What exactly has this "defensive juggernaut" Timberwolves achieved? A measly 3 seed? A grand total of one (1) playoff series win against a soft G-league Suns who would have imploded if you poked it with a stick? Nuggets in 4. Easily.
