Can target Murray and Jokic on defense. But I am not sure if that is enough. I think what the Nuggets are doing is a way better counter for the Mavs defense than the T'Wolves offense.

Refs started to call the off ball grabs/holds. Not good for the T'Wolves.

Gobert/Towns/Reid lineup. Interesting.

Maybe it's me, because every game I've watched in this series has been a decisive Denver victory, but the Nuggets just seem like a clearly superior team, to me.

I wonder how Lively and Gafford would deal with the level of physicality that Jokic showed in the 2nd quarter. Bullying the DPOY in the paint.

Its going to be a problem. Much more concerned about Jokic in the post than Minny size.

Gobert just kills the Minnesota offense. Kills it.
RE: Minnesota at Denver, GAME 7 Thread - KillerLeft - 05-19-2024
Edwards seems pretty gun shy to me.

Small run. But this doesn't feel like a high scoring game where teams can easily make up 10-15pts.
RE: Minnesota at Denver, GAME 7 Thread - dirkfansince1998 - 05-19-2024
Jokic needs to be more selfish. Cannot trust his teammates to make threes.

Never mind. Denver cannot score.

In this series, when Denver goes cold, it's ice cold for an extended period.

Minnesota's D has got them back in it.

Props to Minny for making this a game. They were so boring.

Interesting if that preseason double date in Dubai foreshadowed the WCFs. Is Saudi money mixed up in this somehow?
RE: Minnesota at Denver, GAME 7 Thread - HoosierDaddyKid - 05-19-2024
Minnesota on a 28-9 run to end the qtr down 1, 67-66. We got a game folks.

We got a game.
RE: Minnesota at Denver, GAME 7 Thread - dirkfansince1998 - 05-19-2024
Watching both teams today I am feeling much better about the Mavs chances.
RE: Minnesota at Denver, GAME 7 Thread - dirkfansince1998 - 05-19-2024
Now it feels just like game six. Nuggets cannot punish the double team. Aren't getting any contribution from their role players.
