all that said… wolves in 6
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
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.
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.
So glad you are picking against the wolves again.
KAT won't be as much a deterrent to Jokic, cuz he apparently lost over 20+ pounds while he was out.
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
what do you think about atson on ant
watson on ant
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 🎉
9:26 – How Edwards is allowed to make extra step after he stopped and pivot. Is that TRAVELING
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 YouTube show for breakdowns of the playoff games.
GO NUGS!!
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
Wolves in 6
Buddy boy didn't learn after the PHX season.
Wolves in 6.
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!
Wolves in 6 or Nuggets in 7
Nuggets are going in a massive underdog here . we have to hope something crazy happens
In the only game KAT played against Denver, Denver got blown out. All the other games KAT didnt play.
Lakers in 8
No dog in this fight. Wouldn’t be surprised if Minnesota wins this series though. Should be a good one
did you mis-speak when you said AD stronger than Gobert coz just looking at them gobert looks stronger
T-Wolves in 6 🐺
🔥🔥
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
Thank you so much for this analysis. Go Nuggets!
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
Suns are small and soft. Nuggets aren’t. Denver in 5
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
Wolves in 6
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.
So many people sleeping on the wolves
I can't take anyone seriously when they say "right" at the end of every sentence. 🤡 behavior
His head says nuggets, but he wants the wolves to win so baaad. Not happening! 😂 Nuggets in 6.
Wolves in 5.
Wolves ain’t asking for permission and for any Baton Passing. They’re taking it and it’s only goin to make predictions like this look worse over time
The funny thing is Denver won this game! Everyone will see when this series gets going. Nuggets will stomp!
Remember this guy is a Lakers fan. He wants my Nuggets to lose.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Amazing video as always im so glad the lakers are out and we can have your fully nonbias analysis
I’m pretty sure AG can’t be on Ant if KAT is healthy.
Wow… Denver really got away with a lot of fouls against Ant in those clips.
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
I don’t see how anyone can logically pick the wolves in a 7 game series
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.
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.
My question is Jamal Murray's health??he has to be at 80% for the Nuggets to beat the TWolves
