Denver coach mismanaged starters minuts. Trust the bench ! Nuggets need the starters rested in late 4th quarter

Wolves are simply better. Idk how the media picked Denver. There depth is unmatched. You can use the excuse that they lost to Denver in the regular season. Remember those were games played in October. Lol the playoffs are different. The Wolves are built to win in the playoffs. Regular season doesn’t mean anything. Wolves in 5

As a Nuggets fan I find it hard to argue with McDaniels assessment. The effort last night in the 4th was gross

That one guy that yall love to glaze and think deserve the mvp every year has ZERO DEFENSE

Two things jokic deserves criticsm for. His defense and his conditioning. Bro constantly looks like hes about to drop in the 4th quarter. Combine his terrible conditioning with his bad defense and his defense gets even worse. His offense somehow stays good but sometimes like last night his legs get shot so he cant make shots or hit a simple floater. But he is free eats on defense esp in the 4th when hes gassed.

As a Nuggets fan, last night hurt. But Joker isn’t gonna become a defensive stopper. Everyone has to have a weakness. Defense happens to be his. This is why I thought letting Bol go was a mistake. Spurs should sign him🤯

FALSE!!! they have 5 excellent defenders and usually ramp up their defense as a team every playoffs!!! Blocks ” steals disrupting passing lanes are ALL part of defense and Denver definitely does all those !! Vruce is still!!! Top notch defender same with Spencer” Watson ” AG and Braun” also Jamal’s defense has gotten much better in stretches with steals ” blocks knocking away ” passes in the passing lanes” as has Cam too even Joker has had some great steals” blocks” etc all the play by play the lsdt two games have this !! Recorded ” they’re Definitely!!!! Not San Antonio or Okc defense or as consistent either” however ” thry can take a page from The Spurs and Thunders books to utilize that too !! So perk is a feelings based clown id*ot !!!!!
