DiVincenzo's 3s are a sneaky threat…
Adam on crazy pills, straight sleeping on the wolves. Mad disrespectful. Can’t wait to end their season
Wait when has nackeil ever been better at defense than McDaniels???? Never..
Yall talking way too crazy like the Timberwolves aint like that. Wolves in 6.
LETS FNG GO NUGGETS #DOMINATE HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!
We gotta come out Physical and make a statement immediately here at home.
This isn’t the wolves team of two years ago. Even if y’all don’t think NAW is as good a defender as Jaden. He’s a much better defender on Jamal. Jamal will cook this series in a way he never has vs. the wolves. Nuggs in 5 or 6
Im soooooo excited to get this run under way.
I really hope CB can start hitting them wide open 3s more consistently. Hopefully hes in the gym as we speak working on his shots. And Perimeter Defence
Wait what? Adam, you absolutely say "what is everybody" every time. It's your thing.
Haha, so much homer analysis. Sure, you will definitely win the non-Jokic minutes! 😂
I truly don't see how we could beat healthy min in less than 7… and I have strange feeling that they will be… just beat them and that would be great!!! Wish us all the longest and happiest playoffs since 2023!
44:13 3/7 all post season will win us a chip
If the Nuggets return the physicality immediately so the Wolves realize Nuggets won’t be “soft” they win in 5
Wolves fan here, they’ve been really inconsistent this year, but when they are on, they can beat anyone. I think Denver is a better team, but that doesn’t mean they will win. So many wild cards with the wolves now: health, defense, which version of naz, McDaniel and Julius do you get.
56:46 I always thought it was “what it is everybody?” Always thought that was oddly Caribbean for an Adam in Denver..
As a Wolves fan, I would pick Denver to win because of Jokić, home court, and momentum.
But I think it will be much, much closer than Denver fans and podcasters think. The Wolves have been mercurial this year, but they are a very, very good team. I think Ant and Jaden missing games was more precautionary and rest oriented than any serious problems.
These guys have no idea what they’re talking about with Ayo. He is a notch below NAW defensively, but to say he’s a fake defender is just stupid. And he is light years ahead of NAW on offense. NAW was an offensive liability in the playoffs.
All of the Denver podcasts I have heard really are clowns. Honestly, the Minnesota podcasts are so much more informative and I would recommend them for Denver fans, especially Dane Moore. They are not homers, and they are totally professional and much better informed about the opposition. These DNVR guys really know nothing about the Wolves.
CB kinda locks Ant up, tbh
These guys talking about NAW like he was Gary Payton.
Ant and Jaden are 100% both of them are better players since 2024.
The nuggets have been injured all year, finally get healthy…but now you are worried about Ant and Jaden who are now healthy?
You can’t speak on your optimism about the nuggets and frame that as an advantage when Ant/JMac are in the same position.
It’s not an advantage.
If Murray is better, and an advantage in the upcoming playoffs…so is Ant & Jaden.
Thats not an advantage.
Naz’s injury matters way more than Ants and Jaden’s. If THJ is in for Braun, who the hell is guarding Ant?
This should be called the “I think so too” podcast
Not mentioning Kyle Anderson is a big whiff. He’s wolves best defender on Jok
Terrible ass quality with people screaming in the background. Very distracting.
Just came to say Adam Mares is a clown
Marras, Legler, Nuggets in 5! 😅
Adam definitely says "What is everybody?!" I have no doubt about it.
If he truly doesn't he should start doing it now, it became his trade mark
lol Spencer more important than PWAT, Spencer will play like 20 minutes whole series at most, these are playoffs not regular season games
Nuggs in 5
Wolves in the comments section are MAD 😂 wtf were you expecting coming to a nuggets podcast? Seriously?
Braun was 0-2 and 1-3 from 3 against the Wolves this year.
Wolves in 7
