Jamal always been a bad pg. Low IQ and horrible shots. He doesn't get in the paint enough or make 3s curling off a screen. He tries too many deep step backs. Luka numbers are better this year but his fans know he was better each year prior to this for same reasons
I love this series, I love both these teams. I like Joker, I like Gobert. And I love watching Hoop Venue break it down and give attention to what both teams did. This feels like better than watching the games live for me.
The Wolves defense is just something man. Like sure the wolves make it hard to score, but the defense also just gets into the opponent’s head. The opponent just can’t get into any of their sets comfortably and they often have to play out of the set. They also have to resort to screens in the backcourt or offball to get mismatches and even if you do that, a mismatch from McDaniels to Walker or ant or Reid isn’t much better. They know as soon as you let Denver get into their sets/2 man game and get into a rhythm, it’s likely over so don’t let them get into a rhythm or their sets. Thing is, I’d imagine this aggressive pressure defense might be tiring out MN too so I’m curious how long they could sustain it for.
NEVER HAVE I EVER SEEN A PACK OF WOLVES THIS HUNGRY. HUNGRY AND BEAUTIFUL WORK. GOH DAMN, NOW THATS BASKETBALL EVERYTHING. SO SATISFYING TO SEE. THE BEAUTY PERFORMANCES ON BOTH WAYS. SMH ☑️
Nah as a Denver die hard fan they are playing really bad and not like a team. Everyone except for Jokić is stressing and i can see that. They need to take the pressure of and try to play like a year before, if not... Minnesota sweeps
They played the same way against the Lakers. The difference is that Minnesota isn’t trash, so they can withstand and mitigate those second half barrages😂
Thinking Basketball but 5 days behind 😅😂 Your last 4 videos are the exact same as thinking basketball... I honestly thought I was trippin' but then I went to both profiles and the Jalen Brunson video was right there rereleased by you and then the Edwards video days after Thinking basketball released a wolves defense video about Edwards.
Just saw this. We have had the same video topic twice in the last 2 months. One of which I uploaded first. Love Ben’s stuff, not sure what this comment was about though.
NBA refs changed the way they make calls from the regular season to the NBA playoffs. They are allowing much more contact and aggression on the ball, it's exactly what makes the Wolves look unbeatable. They want it more WAY MORE and the reffing is rewarding this attitude. It's pleasant to see and we can tell the Nuggets were not ready for this change. I wonder if Denver will be able to grow enough during the series, it's not a talent issue, it's the will-to-win problem. Jokic seemed a little off in press conference, I'm not sure he has it anymore. However, if for any reason that only the NBA knows, we're back to season regular calls, we can very likely see a comeback.
It's not just ANT, Wolves are a team, a real one, like Nuggets, that finally faced a TEAM, not a collection of poorly blended individuals with bursting egos (Suns, I'm looking at you)
Y’all anointed the nuggets too early. Y’all was talking bout them like they had 3rings already. Joker was the only the best player in the world for 1yr. Last year, Jamal is not better then no star guard in the league, and everybody else can’t create for themselves on a consistent basis. Y’all overrated them bc they beat the lakers and y’all hate for Lebron. They are just like the Bucks in 2021 all facts
Dude, I was watching the Live game and the Nuggets guards are suffocated by the Minnesota defense. Holyyyy, Jamal looks like an average player there, which is something I wouldn't dare say in a playoff game
If Jamal didn't hit two tough game winners, that series would've gone to 7 and the Nuggets might have actually lost. They got away with it in LA, but Minnesota is exposing them now
@@ym3_mercenary Regardless your understanding of the Nuggets ball was negative, the reason why the wolves could sweep and still win was because they could stop all the the Nuggets multiple options, Rudy length to stop lobs to Gordon, timely doubles on post ups, guarding MPJ close, Stiffling the pick n roll with Murray and Jokic, KCP not spacing. The nuggets have the most complex offense in the league built on counters to counters that's why their offensive rating doesn't show how good their offense is. i thought they would sweep or win in 5 after the first game too.
I just love this denver team because they aint flopping everywhere and play right. If they dont win please dont let another team who wins by the whistle get a chip.
One reason they losing is because the refs are letting them play. If the refs were whistle crazy Minnesota might have a harder time playing aggressive defense.
You thought these mfers were SPECIAL? WHO exactly did they beat last year to win that ring??? This series is their EXPOSURE. Beating a 40 year old Lebron is not special.
The defensive lockdown by TW is a sight to behold, no two ways about it. A shellacking and smothering at the same time. TW in 4; this from a Nuggs fan. 🧹🧹🧹🧹
All Im saying is the Jordan comps are a lil silly when weve only seen like 5 games and Jordan never had a seven foot bucket, 7ft dpoy AND the best perimeter defender backing him up. Regardless this is about to be the best series i bet.
Well Jordan had illegal defense Favourable refs 2 all time great defenders… An all time great rebounder Anall time great shooter An all time great coach Need I go on
@@Jeff8711-n4x I mean the refs were literally favouring mj for the entire 90s decades Dudes ft to possession ratio was absurd for a guard Bro acting like he was getting some prime shaq foul treatment as a guard
I've been saying this for years... it's not difficult to defend the 3 point line in today's NBA... you just need players who take pride in their man-to-man coverage.... Finally this soft era with no defense and 70 3-pointers every game will come to and end!
We all know the weakness of Denver, no bench, and no help for Jokic. Which is why I don't get why Jordan isn't in there with Jokic at times. All of that banging with those 2 bigs are gonna wear down Jokic, and Murray has never just been truly healthy, so yeah they are human. Who wouldn't see that.
I'm not a fan of neither team but I saw this coming. Jamal Murray has been bad in the play offs this year. Take away his game winners he has been shooting it terribly. He struggled alot missing a ton of shots vs the Lakers who play no defense. The nuggets have no bench either
Who’s here after Wolves generational defensive 1st half in game 2 without Gobert?
