NBA Today | “Joker will outplay Ant Edwards” – Perk on Nuggets vs. Timberwolves battle for No. 1spot

Tonight Nicola yic and the first seated nuggets host Anthony Edwards and the second seated Timberwolves in Denver remember in their previous matchup Denver beat them by three but ant had a chance to tie it at the end as you can see the wolves are only a half game back

From that all important one seed and look here we are look don’t stab me whoever wins tonight in Denver takes the one seed in the west people love throwing up all of these numbers that don’t matter but I’m here to tell you that tonight’s game could shape up a lot

Of what’s going on in the west now look whoever with the win the Tims or nuggets these are the chances of them finishing with the number one see with the loss it drops to 18% and 23% so that shows you that both these teams they know these numbers they know how important with

That and even with that both teams will meet again before the season ends and tonight’s game could be even bigger for the Nuggets since they don’t own the tiebreaker over the Wolves just yet that is what’s impressive and another little tidbit the Denver Nuggets they don’t own

The tiebreaker over OKC so they’ve got they’ve got a little work looking up they might be tied but they’re in the worst position of being tied so perk between these two teams who do you think is going to be in the Conference Finals do you think that this is a Conference Finals

Preview I don’t I don’t but I I you know I’m not sold yet because I don’t know when call Anthony towns or if he’s coming back but I will say this I’m I would not the Denver Nuggets are going to be there okay but when it comes down

To the Minnesota Timberwolves I really don’t want to go against Anthony Edwards and how stingy that defense is right that’s a bunch of dogs over there I watched them last weekend when they played against the Golden State Warriors and what they do on the perimeter how they make people feel how they make

People uncomfortable this team is very very dangerous I think when you think about this game tonight this is a confidence booster for the Minnesota Timberwolves we know what they’re capable of doing at home but when you have a young team that could actually go into Denver against the defending champs

Who just came off a loss against the Phoenix Suns and win a game going into the postseason it does a it does a certain thing when it comes down to your confidence on the for far as a level uh aspect when they’ve played in the past what

Minnesota likes to do against joic is put towns on joic and put goar on air and Gordon and say Rudy you roam around and block shots and muck everything up well there’s no towns tonight as perk mentioned so who guards yic do they try and do that with nas Reed that seems

Like it could be a problem do they put goar on joic I think that’s interesting and about Carl towns it’s a little early I don’t want to make too much of it but they’re seven and three without him Nas Reed is playing really well in his starting spot their defense has not

Missed a beat given the financial situation this team is in after this season when all the big deals come together given that they can’t really decide who wants to own the team in any given week or month their year I just think it’s worth noting how they’re playing without him and if that

Continues and I don’t think it will I think they need Carl towns to make a deep playoff run I think his shooting and skill set on offense is just so special and so valuable to them but it’s worth monitoring given the situation they face going forward but as for

Tonight who guards joic it all starts from there every time the Nuggets play I also think there’s seems like there’s a lot of people who want to own the team right now yes look people forget that they actually had a playoff series against each other last year and it was the

First round and I think we look back on that playoff series and and you know Denver got through them they hadn’t won a championship yet but now when you look back on that series like they matched up very well with the Denver Nuggets they have the size they have the versatility

They have different parts as Zach mentioned they have different ways of guarding yic like this is a team if you’re Denver that I mean they were constructed by the same guy Tim Connelly Tim Connelly was in Denver for a long time now he’s in Minnesota Calvin Booth

Took over in Denver but they were constructed with the same idea in mind which is size versatility and Aaron Gordon type so there Jaden McDaniels there in in Minnesota this is a tough matchup if this indeed is a playoff matchup going forward are we just going

To ignore the New Kids on the Block yeah are we just going to ignore them give them some props yeah Oklahoma City Thunder oh oh those new kids those new kids those young boys they’re half a game out like they got a shot at this too right or are we just going to

Dismiss them cuz they’re young they have no pressure they just balling SGA perhaps should be MVP Chad is I mean every time I watch them my heart starts telling me you know what you you my mind says no because they’re young but my heart’s like I don’t know these young boys they’re

Coming to play every night so I don’t know man I’m not going to just dismiss them because they’re the you know got Similac on their breath and everything look I I agree and the three of them now Denver’s been the one that has kind of creeped up here in the last couple of

Weeks uh but it’s been OKC it’s been it it’s been Minnesota those have been the two teams really for most of the regular season that have been battling for number one then Denver just being the old man slowly getting to where they need to get but I will say this everyone

Talks about how they are vulnerable at the top the one and two when they’re talking about OKC in Minnesota no one’s talking about if Denver gets the one seed that that seven and eight could possibly knock them off they’re playing like defending champs like they after the All-Star break yic sent a text

Around to everybody and said it’s time to go yeah and they have gone they’ said time it’s time to play and and I think that they have played like a defending Champion these these last couple weeks especially since y all start break and we just had a topic about the Celtics

Right they have not played like that they’re not playing with something to prove right now they’re playing like we just want to get to the end of the regular season and let’s be healthy going into the playoffs Denver is playing like let me remind you well oh

No I Mark what Mark what did I what did I just watch right there that looked a little scary to me yeah man well RG I recently went down to South Africa to see the begin end of the fourth season of the basketball Africa league and in the midst watching some really
