Who you got in this series?
Timberwolves 4 ever . There will be No mercy
Nuggets in 5-6 games.
T-wolves in 6
Who gonna guard Naaz Reid ? 6th Man of the year
@@raymundturner1140really? I think this is a 7 game series the nuggets are going to be facing a team that’s bigger than them. A team that has Jaden McDaniels who will guard Jamal Murray really well especially with his injury as well as the nuggets bench is not good at all, the Timberwolves have a good bench unlike the lakers. But at the end of the day I would probably pick the nuggets in 7.
Finally.
I can enjoy the NBA playoffs.
Timberwolves and Nuggets is gonna be so fricken good.
Nuggets in 5-6 games if everyone stays healthy.
@@raymundturner1140not this year boii edwards will destroy the nuggets and anyone in his path. You see what he did to KD ?
@@raymundturner1140 It's gonna be a interesting match up. May come down to coaching and experience of the Nuggets. These teams both have difficult match ups for each other. Definitely a 6 gamer
@@NotTheWheel Gonna be a chess match for sure!
@@user-mp8jv4rk4v Please remind me in 1o days to come back here and slap your ass 😂
They have no idea Gobert doesn’t even guard Jokic in this matchup, KAT does.
Exactly! Also chuck definitely doesn’t watch the wolves saying Kat doesn’t use his body enough
dude...don't look down on rudy...
they have no idea ? sure bud, these NBA Legends knows nothing, right ? you are the youtube commentator expert that knows basketball more than these guys, LOL
@@TheDarkKnightRacist😆
@@Lebronscomenope. He doesn't when it matters, like how he did last playoffs
Wolves were missing McDaniels and NAZ REID last year. Their depth is going to be tough for Denver.
NAZ. REID.
KAT will choke dont worry
@user-md6uk9yy3t that's what ppl said about him last series. But he helped close the Suns out, coming off an injury. Try again buddy
Lol the suns and the nuggets are a completely different beast sorry to let you know you wolves fans are cute 😂
So naz Reid goofy ass and Jayden mcdaniels 4 points a game were the missing 3 wins last year help me out here ??
Can’t hate on Kat for shooting 3s when we just swept the suns in a series where he shot over 50% from 3. This team works bc he stretches the defense
Chuck has a tendency sometimes to talk out of his ass and pretend like it's the 90s. Kat can bang and KAT cat shoot. What worries me is his dumbass KATish moments like those bad fouls he's had. But I think the series hinges on KAT.
Wolves have Rudy down near the paint too. If KAT was always down there it would get pretty clogged up for Ant.
Exactly. KAT should be shooting more threes, not less. It opens up Ant drives, amd it frees their entire offense, really. Yes, he should mix it up and take advantage of mismatches down low ( don't think AG is one, though), but he doesn't need to live down low. With Rudy, their spacing is mucked up if KATs hanging out down their.
It's nonsensical. But Chuck amd Shaq love ignoring the obvious to stay in their old-school mindset. It's frustrating because I like Chuck, but he just doesn't understand KATs game and what is best for the Wolves.
Sun's are horrible lol but as a nuggets fan I will say Minnesota is the real deal. The nuggets advantage is the best coach in the NBA. they are even with scorers
@@julsc2106 lol they won 49 games in the west lol how is that lol horrible lol
i love chuck but man he does not understand what KAT does with his spacing. It’s been like 4-5 years since he became elite at that and chuck still can’t compute what his 3s do for the team
he’s shooting 50% from the 3 this postseason too so he’s definitely just hating
Lol ikr, does he want KAT standing right next to Rudy, completely clogging the lane? The only reason the Wolves can get away with playing 2 bigs is because KAT can shoot.
Chuck doesn't understand ? LOL, how many NBA games have you won ? you seems knows better than these NBA Legends, what have you achieve ? youtube commenter expert of the year ?
Denver in 6
@TheDarkKnightRacist Charles Barkley won't date you, homie, and he watches like 5 wolves games a year like every other commentator. KAT taking 3s is statistically the right move almost every time
Matchup wise I think it will be as follows
Denver puts
Murray on Conley
KCP on Edwards
MPJ on McDaniels
Gordon on Towns
Jokic on Gobert
Minnesota puts
McDaniels on Murray
Conley on KCP
Edwards on Porter Jr
Gobert on Gordon
Towns on Jokic
You are correct sir. You know basketball
T wolves match up better, they’re hungry rn and they’re some dogs
It’ll likely be ANT on Murray and McDaniels on MPJ now due to MPJ performance in Lakers series
@@Lebronscomethey’ll swap out between the 2 throughout the games
KCP is gonna get scorched
Guys show respect, this is the REIGNING, DEFENDING, UNDEFEATED in season tournament champions
There are two champions this season, one is unknown, and the other is definitely the Lakers🎉😂
They look beatable unlike last year
Sounds like Paul Heyman 😂
....where was the disrespect?
0-2 .......nuff said . There is a new sheriff in Town
This is gonna be one hella series denver vs Timberwolves 😮
Porter Jr. will be the X-Factor in this series for the Nuggets offensively & defensively. The Timberwolves are a great match-up personnel-wise & Ant is currently playing out of his mind. This will be a great series.
He has a habit of performing great against us (Wolves).
wolves seem more aggressive than the lakers. do i have the wolves winning the series? no, but i expect a game 6-7.
Most fN def
Best series this playoffs
Should be
A lot better than the lakers. Nuggets don’t have the players to match up with the wolves and the wolves have the best defense in the nba
@@5luelight726 we’ll find out, Denver is also a very well balanced team. it won’t take long for them to figure out their game.
Wolves suffocating defense is like torture. You could see them crush the Sun’s will to play throughout each game. Jokic will want to go home to his horses by the end of game 3.
Wolves have way more shooters than Lakers. Plus the size and defense matches Denver. Gobert can challenge Joker. Edwards can guard Murray and they have Mcdaniels to guard KCP
timberwolves vs nuggets and clipper vs mavs probably the best series this play off.
deff knicks vs sixers also on that list be honest bro
@@AreaO agreed
@@AreaOTurnpike rivalries hit different
@@AreaO If it wasn't for refs it would be sweep
@@jojijoestar7233 they deff do crazy after all these years we still never got lakers clippers playoff series lol
when Kat stays close to the hoop he get offensive fouls that's why then he is off the court and ant man don't want him to get fouls to keep him on the court
Timberwolves in six or seven. I don't know what it is, but the Nuggets look flawed compared to the last season.
I agree
They also look exhausted.
Wolves in 4
@@DaveyjdigitalI see you on every wolves video & I like all your comments lol . wolves nation 🔥🐺
Denver just played against seven seed like they are seven seed they still weren't in playoff mode. Denver has 8 not 11 man rotation
Just a wild series already tbh 😂💙💯
"... one thing you need against Anthony Edwards is two legs!" - Charles B. 2024 🤣
Chuck needs to stop harping on KAT not shooting 3s he’s a career 40% 3 point shooter sorry but when when you shoot that efficiently you need KAT to take 3s it opens up the offense for everybody when he does and creates driving lanes for himself
That’s what I’m saying.. it’s not like Kat stopped driving and posting up either.. he was literally destroying KD and Booker in the post in game 4 lol
If KAT follows these instructions I would worried for the wolves. Chuck is just asking for bad things and bad results lol
Y'all don't know fundamentals... That's why y'all are gonna lose your bets
@@realnsenpai lol what??? Bro 33% from 3 = 50% from 2 KAT is shooting 42% on the year and career 40% from 3 KAT should definitely post up to get himself into a Rhythm but if he’s open he needs to take that 3 every time
When Kat was trying to play like ginnias kupo he was getting a lot of offense fouls .. and every one was saying that not his game .. for him to use his skill .. now they’re saying go back to saying play like ginnis …but got much better at playing physical and still keeping that finnnesse skill part
WTF is a 'ginnias kupo' you clueless noob?
If Nuggets want to win this series they gonna need something on their bench.
I actually don’t agree with that. I just think KCP, Reggie, or Gordon will need to step up. Depth is a problem for Denver. I don’t think that will change.
T-wolves need s/thing from their bench, too.
@@jodyvance1554and they get it every game. Wolves in 5.
What bench, it's the playoffs, all of the starters are going to play 40+ minutes for Denver, and they'll get some good defense out of Watson. TWolves going to give up game losing runs if they try to get cute with their bench players
@@JSauer21 Lol.....T-Wolves top 3 bench players would be starters on a lot of NBA teams.
I'm more scared for Denver against the Wolves than against the Celtics. Murray better heal that calf quick because he needs to cancel out Edwards.
this series is the real Finals I think
Can’t cancel out Edwards. You can only hope to contain him offensively. Defensively he’s gonna shine regardless of what you do.
Yeah, I think Nuggets are a bit terrified although they'd never admit it. Connelly built that team and knows its weaknesses. Itll be a great series for sure. Im assuming McDaniels guards Murray and Gordon will be on KAT. I think KCP will be on Ant but they will double the hell out of him. If Nuggets win it will be because of their ball movement. MNs D can be cracked but you really have to move the ball quick to do so.
@@AntonColeySo will Joker ,
" Brother ,I have 47 "
@@Sr.Princip Yeah he will on offense. Not so much defensively.
Charles: “They don’t need to worry about Rudy” .😂
Yeah they do💀
Charles be trippin lmao
@@prince-bm4xt Thats an understatement
chuck will always have old school big mind mindset ....kat has been doing everything good
Wolves are arguably better without him
@@be4unvme No we are not. Stop this. He is our one of main ways of scoring.
@@cmfrtblynmb02 Especially in this matchup
@@be4unvme KAT maybe soft physically, but he has proven he is efficient in other areas.
I think Chuck has it backwards. KAT needs to be shooting 8-10 threes a game for the wolves to be successful in this series. Not shooting less.
This is going to be a crazy series, both teams matchup each other well
I remember Jamal Murray's duel with Spida back in 2020. This series may have a couple of games with Jamal and Ant trading 40 and 50 pieces. But I'm with the Wolves this time. They have more bigs that can help one another contain Joker. I know they have been planning this for over a year since the Wolves are aware they will eventually have to get through the Nuggets to reach their goals. I just hope whoever comes out of this series will have their core team intact for the WCF.
Awesome take.
Wolves will absolutely win this series and I think it's really all mental. They are hungry.
Jamal Murray will not average more than 20ppg this series bruh
@@Rapsuyy facts. I think he'll have one big game just like Booker had in that close out game but that's it. I honestly think Ant might get chippy with him and guard him most of the series. Ant needs a poster on jokic or Murray.
" Brother,I got 47 "
This series going to be a battle 💪
Great tie, Shaq.
Good observations on Towns, Charles.
This is the best series to watch. Minnesota have big guys too. Yo
the winners could win a Championship.
I soooo cant wait.
I got Timberwolves dominating Nuggets. FR
Yeah for sure, Timberwolves is a different animal rn hungry like freakin dogs.🔥🐺
They may win but to say they are going to dominate is crazy
Great basketball mind. Wolves in 5.
They'll put up a good fight. Nuggets in 6
First series win in 20 years and the fanboys think the Wolves are world beaters.
Who gonna guard Mr. Naaz Ried (6th Man of the year ) ? And let's not forget - it's not Darvin Ham it's Chris Finch
they have a lot of firepower
@@zenitsuthunder3946Nuggets? Their bench is pretty booty compared to the wolves.
Again - who gonna guard Mr. Naaz Reid ?
@@openlink09 Porter?
@@ggflo12 lmao people never ever give the nuggets the respect they deserve
not only do we have good games soon but for years with all these competitive teams
Best series this year
Hate KAT for being a shooter? Says the most Brick player Barkley
What a lame comment
That's beyond clueless, ya sad little gen z tool. Prime Barkley would eat KAT for bkfst, lunch AND dinner.
@@Helloim_anthony troll better
I see Murray outplaying Towns in terms of a second option. Edwards is a great scorer, but Jokic is so much more efficient offensively and is a way better playmaker.
My only concern is the defensive difference. Nuggets as a team can be inconsistent shooting like they are now so it’s a lot of question marks for both teams.
McDaniels putting Murray in jail. The only thing that stops KAT from performing is himself
😂 kat is a generation big. Good luck
Yup as a wolves fan, nuggets definitely have us beat offensively. But I think we have them best defensively so it’ll be a tight battle. I have us winning because we have more versatile pieces on the bench.
Only thing that stops Towns is his foul trouble, but other than that, good luck.
I love this show🔥
my wife left me today, feel like my spirit been crushed but thank god my spirit aint crushed as much as that last time Kenny reached for the board!
Keep your head up my guy, you’ll be alright since God has your back
Wolves on Top 🐺
Let's go Nuggets!!!!!!
This is going to be fun as well. Maybe best series of the playoffs
This series will go 6-7 games and should be very fun to watch!
Nuggets won two games on their last possession, and the Lakers weren't even title contenders. I think the Twolves got this!!
r u trying to use transitive property in basketball
Nuggets used 11 man rotation. that's bigger rotation then they use in regular season 😂😂😂😂 that's how serious they thought about LLs
It’s an entirely new series with different match ups.
it could go either way but this is a really stupid way to look at it
Lakers>suns, and the wolves faced the suns and the nuggets faced the lakers
" YOU THE ONE WHO FELL FOOL!!!!" - Chuck 😂😂
I’m not a huge b ball fan, but I watched MJ every chance I could. Ant , he’s so fun to watch , the way he flys it’s just fun to watch
You can tell Chuck spent his whole career wishing he was taller than 6’6”. lol
That goes for any pro NBA player shorter than 6'6
Especially since he's 6'4
And that he could shoot 3’s!! 😁
I am so mad. For the wolves to play at 6 PM in game 1, 4 games needed to play out perfectly. Any other combo and the Wolves play at 8;30. The Knicks and Pacers had to both lose on Tuesday and both win on Thursday, and Josh Hart had to miss game winning free throws on Tuesday while making a game winning 3 on Thursday. The chances of all of this happening are almost 0. And yet, the Timberwolves play at 6 pm, the one time of day where I wont be at home to watch and will only be able to listen. Incredible. But whether I can watch or not, LETS GO WOLVES!!!!!
This gone be good 🙏🏿
Gonna be a hell of a series we deserved this as the conference finals but will see. Also KAT is the one who guards joker when they play the wolves
Whoever wins goes to the finals
Hell nope Los Angeles Clippers got something to say about the NBA Final this season 🤧🤧🤧🤧💵💵💵💪💪
@@teeman228 HA..ha..hahaha..hahhahahahaahahahahhahahhaahahahahaha
Jokic can score 60 for all I care. If we use Gobert to protect the basket and pressure them on the perimeter with Ant and McDaniels we’re good. This will be an entertaining series 😂😂
Im a nuggets fan and i follow basketball for like 25 years now, i see a lot of this game and Minnesota for me is the favorite and i think u guys gonna beat denver because of the marchups and yall bench
@@Bigbanggbigwhat happened in last years playoff?
Chuck nailed it when he was talking about the exciting part of the series. Aaron Gordon vs Anthony Edwards would be a playoff in game dunk contest.
Two teams that are beasts in their own way. Let's see what happens
I wonder how Ant’s ankles will fare- they seemed to bother him last game.
There’s about a week of rest so hopefully alright
Edwards had a habit of being overly dramatic when reacting to various tweaks this season. About once every two weeks he'd have our announcers freaking out.
wolves gonna bring the series back to mn with at least one win. i think its game 1
1st game ANT gonna draw Gordon outside 1st quarter. Then he gonna go midfield the iso to bucket. He faster the AG but he can still jump with ANT a bit .
This series is going to be epic.
Wolves gave Denver fits last year without Jaden or Naz. "NBA experts" still having trouble getting their minds around how good this Timberwolves team is. Wolves in 6.
If they put Gordon on ant. Ants going for 40 each game and wolves in 5.
LETS GO WOLVES
Video about Minnesota with a length of 612. Good faith. In my opinion, this might be the best series of the playoffs.
Two great teams will be battling for sure . Denver and Minnesota are firing on all cylinders
Timberwolves in 6
“the little brown kid…”
Whos he talking about
@@PaddyhuesThe African American player
Christian Braun
The wolves look like they are built for denver. But idk if betting against the joker is smart lol
Gon give the slight edge to the Nuggs as they will have the best player in the series but man I'm genuinely concerned about their lack of depth. Losing brown and green really hurt their rotation and their squad right now is 100% worse than what they had last year.
The Wolves on the other hand are legit this season - best defense in the league, a rising star in Ant, a significantly deeper bench. They will also have insane momentum coming off a sweep on the dysfunctional Suns.
I see this series going 6-7 games, with the winner eventually winning the championship as well.
As a Minnesotan, who slips and falls down on ice probably half a dozen times a year, and that's just kind of the norm here... it always feels kind of like a low blow to pick on people for falling down. Also, falling down tip! Just roll with it! The key isn't, not falling down. It's rolling when you fall, so you can get back up! My dad, 72, rolls when he falls. Falls every year, rolls like a bag of potatoes, and voila he rises! He's never broken a bone or anything! He's like a falling down All-Star! Watch out Stephen! Falling like that... that's how you break your knee or wrist or something...
Another Sweep for the T-Wolves incoming! 🐺
Hahahahaha that’s just dumb.
U crazy lol and I’m a wolves fan
Some of these “fans” are delusional. Best case scenario for Wolves is them winning in 6 or 7 games. The Nuggets are favored to win this series.
@@Sam-db4mr well I think a sweep is possible . The Wolves have took their sole in the first half
Go T/Wolves 👊🏼
Chuck “naa too little too little too little” 😂 too little 3 times is crazy
It's going to be a great series! Whoever survives may win it all.
Denver better beat us this year because its going to be Last championship joker wins. Anthony Edwards will rule nba next 10 years.
Wemby will have something to say about that 😂😂
And jokic will still be the best in the world for atleast two years
Wemby and Luka will clear Ant.
Wemby > Ant already nerd

Hey Charles, we love KAT shooting 3 and 3s are worth more than 2s.
Don Silveroni will transfer the FTs allotment from LeFraude to Gobert in order to mine Denver's aspirations. Let's see if they can go above and beyond.
Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid were both out for the entire series last year. Idk why nobody can manage to remember that glaring issue.
Denver have a nice ball Rotation like The GSW era.
-"Who's gonna guard Rudy?"
-"Well, they don't have to worry about him" bro I'm dead 😂
should be a helluva series
This finna get good people 🍿
The had Kenny messed up with the Dog😂😂😂
every possession that ends in KAT 3 point attempt is a good minnesota possession
minnesota really are good this year.. it should be a conf. finals but then again mavs is also good, the west is exciting.
I got Minnesota in an upset here. IF Kat doesn’t play stupid.
Always a big IF, lol. I love how Edwards called him out about his fouling after the PHX series.
This match up can go either way. However the coach is hurt, we shall see if coaching matters.
I keep listening to chuck saying," nah too little too little too little stop it!"
I’m rolling with Minny in this highly intense and highly competitive series.
It's like I've said before,you can put up all the stats you want but if you can't win championships it doesn't mean much!
They nailed it though. You let joker do his thing and lock up the other 4. The difference between the lakers d and the wolves is astronomical. This is gonna be fun AF. I’m a Wolves fan for life but I have nothing but respect for the Nuggets.
Ditto
Preparado para disfrutar y sufrir esta serie, estoy con wolves
Yo también
Im very interested to see how this goes… KAT is such a weak defender in that matchup with Jokic… they would match up physically but I do not see the wolves getting any more than 2 games if they play exceptionally well!
We were also missing Naz and Jaden against the Nuggets last year. We're healthy this year, WATCH OUT lol
Coach Finch being hurt could be a big factor. Hope im wrong
A lot of teams happy Denver and Minesota are going against each other, the 2 best teams in the league
Ant dunkin on Murray, calling it 💯
Can't wait but Wolves need to set the pace and win the first game.
Let's gooo Wolvessss
Minnesota will not double jokic they did sum similar with kd knowing that he will get his numbers no matter what u do and is not worth wasting a defender on jokic knowing it won’t effect his game
Those steps are a liability for insurance company 😂
Wow they dont even know the match up😂 yall a riot
