Minnesota in 5

I think the discourse on NAW being gone is overstated.
Ayo Dosunmu is a better shooter, playmaker and even on ball defender.
NAW is lighting it up because the Hawks dont have an ANT.
ANT is an excellent on ball defender in the playoffs.
We have seen every year how this goes.
Said team is going to expose Gobert, julius etc and will being able to score at will against Minnesota
Then a sweep or gentlemen sweep happens.
Wolves in 5
All the commentators got the same talking points. 😂
I hope Jokic break his record of 10 triple doubles in one season and makes 11+ with that he will be the player with most of triple doubles which is now Magic Johnson with 30 Jokic has 20, because Nuggets won last 12 games which was my New Year prediction/whish I'm pretty sure they are going to finals with big chance to winning it all in 20-22 games
I remember Jamal Murray got so frustrated when the Timberwolves bottled him up he threw a towel or something at the ref?
THE WOLVES NEED JOAN BERINGER
People will be surprised when Nuggets finish Minnesota in 4-5 but I will be surprised if they don't do that
I pick the nuggets over raptors
The thunder are injured which they sustained last year Vs series Vs Pacers, it's what happened in every year champ
The Denver Dick Riding here is next level.
Nuggets in 5 🎉
Did Carson say everyday the next couple months ❤️🔥😭
It was totally obvious to me that Spurs wanted to win that game 82. They just miscalculated Denver being “whatever” and not tanking to get to 4. By the end of the game they were full court pressing Jalen F&@€n a Pickett with Dylan Harper, Fox and Carter Bryant but could not stop David “the Body” Roddy. Big mistake. Same thing happened 2 years ago. Denver would be 1st seed if won game 82 against the Spurs and they dropped a bag on Devonte Grahams last second shot. Redemption time 🙂
Hawks might get swept and im a big fan of Atlanta. Its not not about how ATLs talent i think its more so a bad match up for ATL. Brunson has history of sending Quinn Snyder home in Utah vs Dallas.
This almost feels like a Nuggets fan boy page…goodness! I couldn't listen past 25 min; too much repeat jumping on the Nuggets jocks. Nuggets may very well win this series, but you guys are way underrating the Wolves potential in this series! No mention even of Naz, Ayo and Jayden, and how they're a matchup problem. Denver is more consistent, but MN has the talent. Your analysis needs some work.
T-minus 10 days still no mock Draft
I’m a say,
Nuggets in 7
Knicks in 6
Cavs in 6
Rockets in 6 (assuming Luka returns in game 3 let’s say)
Stop sleeping on the Knicks
2:03:20 wait carson im not immoral pls 💔💔💔
blazers beat the clippers back to back in the two most important regular season games of the year for each team btw
Wolves After Dark has a sick pod you all should check out!
Wolves in 5
I don't see much upset potential in the first round aside from the minnesota nuggets series tbh
Gosh I love when my wolves are doubted😍😍😍
These two are complete morons when it comes to the Timberwolves they doubt them every single year and they always look stupid in the end!!!
I honestly hate that they have a podcast in these douche bags think they know ball and they don’t know anything.
Dyson Daniels is one of the strongest guard defenders, we’re talking about a guy who guarded Giannis at one point of the season and was still there. Logan your losing me man
Cavs in
5 maybe sweep
