We learned that after my prediction of 12-0 there's chances another prediction to become truth and that's Den going up to 3-0 but I'm not sure that after that they won't let Minesota get one and play final game at home, I think that at 3-0 they will lose on purpose one game I mean at 3-0 I would sit and rest starting 5 and play with other 9-10 guys so even if they lose which would be kinda expected they would bring physicality to the game so in game no.5 Den would obliterate them in front of home crowd and than rest again before going against SAS which should be in 6 same as OKC and finals in 4-6 which I would prefer to be in 4 which would be 21 which is almost good as 2023 when they did it in just 20 which I think they can't beat and go 19 unless they go first two rounds in just 8 but that's impossible outside of fantasy, would be great and extend winning streak to 20 but really can happen only in theory, I would love being wrong about it but chances are like 0.001%
A whole episode on Denver/Minnesota is quite the choice.
Most overused phrase in NBA commentary? "…he got downhill."
Like my twolves. But it gonna b tough
Denver doesn’t need a big game from Joker if the Wolves can't guard Murray.
33 of the Nuggets 3PA were charted as open or wide open (4+ feet of separation from closest defender) and they shot 27% on those. Season average on the same looks is 40%. This could have easily been a blow out if they just shot below average.
I like Wolves fans but this dude is grasping at straws praying Wolves win 1 game.
All these like,"Nobody's " When they played in the league have Wolves sweeping the Nuggets or winning in game 5. Shump, Joe Johnson,dumb ass Perk I just wonder if this is ESPNs job is to surround themselves with a bunch of low iq ex basketball players to hate on Jokic and the Nuggets. Jokic wasn't even engaged really in game 1, tomorrow's game is gonna be a blowout Nuggets . Racist ex black players that didn't do shit when they played.
wow Adam! so now it's "Jokic & the Nuggets" when it works better if there's Jokic's picture and his name on the vid, more clicks or what? I thought it was Murray by himself, on his own, who won the game 1 for the Nuggs. The other day it was Murray by himself, literally. As good as he was, without Jokic's screens and handoffs, and Jokic in all his glory, not even three Jamals would've pulled this team through the first game or the first series – ever! and you know it…smh
Denver's defense is always better in the playoffs, but dont get credit
Great episode!
Timestamps do exist you know ?
Enjoyed your show! Colorado gal here 😊
Dude- you DID get that version of Rudy…and LOST.
🔥🔥🔥
Would love to see some clips of the discussion so I don’t have to watch the whole thing on my way to work
Jamal had a great game because the Wolves didn't full court press him.
Denver had their worst shooting night and Gobert exceeded all the expectation s and Minnesota still lost by 11. Nuggets win game 2 but game 3 will be a coin flip and decide the series
Pretty insightful pod for a game 1.
Iife long wolves fan, As one of the dumbest teams in basketball yet physically imposing, wolves are facing one of the smartest teams in the league. Add Ant not being himself but they’re saying it’s ’rust’. I’d be surprised if we win two games. Just get Randle off my squad fr
Two words: DENVER NUGGETS 💪🏽
Shoutout Richuan Holmes!
All wolves podcast
Adam and Dane are awesome together. Love these collabs
If they were gonna stop mal they would have showed face in j the first game like they did before
Now that it’s been announced that game 2 crew chief Tony Brothers and not Marc “Prison Ball” Davis who lets the Wolves do what they want, the Nuggets should have it sewn up
I know just saying Jok is too good and as long as his team is balanced and healthy, it's over, would be boring. But this podcast sounds like huge direspect.
If Nuggets wins game 2, it's a wrap. They are the best scoring team on the road, I doubt Wolves would beat them twice at home.
one thing is for sure!! the public is dangerously underestimating Denver's bench and depth … they forgot the expressions on both SGA's and Daigneault's faces at all were not thrilled with what they were seeing !! and that's great for Nuggets!!Julian and Peyton are not these two from the last season's PO!!
