Rudy trade startin to look a lil better now ain’t it. He’s the only one in the playoffs who locked Jokic down to below 50% shooting. They even said T Wolves were the toughest team they faced. This team is dangerous
It definitely was. The other three series were mainly "competitive" due to bench minutes, if you only count starters' score then Denver was basically dominating them all completely. With Wolves the starters were much much closer and Nuggets' bench did more to keep the score. That series' 1-4 was decided in bigger part by minutes of Kyle Anderson, Taurean Prince and Jaylen Nowell than Gobert and Edwards.
Bruce Brown fucked our shit up
I’m definitely eating my words after last year
Just needed some time to gel. KAT's injury last year fucked everything up, and we still made a tiny bit of noise in the playoffs even with our starters playing like 15 games together
For me the biggest indicator of this team’s success is their defense. Even with their offense at 15th, we know they can be better than that. Just look at what Ant did last playoffs. I’m a nuggets fan, and honestly he was the scariest player (other than Devin Booker) that we saw.
T-Wolves fans gotta be loving this. Not only does their lack of continuity mean they're likely to get better together if anything, their long term guys are all pretty young among contending teams that otherwise pretty much all have concern in that regard. Fuckin Ant is 22.
Yeah they said themselves they want to make defense their identity this year, and you can tell everyone has bought in. Offense will find their flow like you said. I'm really excited for the rest of the season. Doing way better so far than I imagined. Hope we meet you guys in the playoffs again with two fully healthy squads
It would be an exciting series, especially cuz the timberwolves are really putting it together. And I will be dreading Ant lol
Yeah but he ain’t Rui.
Not every team has a Jokic stopper like Rui
that was bruce brown who said that
i believe that Bruce Brown found Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards harder to play against than jsut Devin Booker, DeAngelo Russell and Austin Reeves, and Grandpa Lowry and Gabe Vincent
"they" as in one person on the Nuggets and that person didn't even say Rudy was the one who gave them problems lol
