I don’t think y’all realize how good of a matchup wolves are. Tough series
We know goofy but they're still going to lose

So far he's right
Aged like fine wine

Hi. How you doing?
Hiya. Over here!👈
This aged like a ‘45 Lafite Rothschild, to be fair.

Dray is upset because Jokic and the Nuggets will forever be synonymous with three things he dislikes
A) European dominance
B) winning titles organically without recruiting superstars like Lebron and the Warriors did.
C) Tarnishing Lebron's Legacy by sweeping and gentleman sweeping him in consecutive years
Warriors is a team that grew organically. They would be a dynasty with or without KD. I don't think Draymond has any insecurities on that front
Why do you interpret his level-headed basketball take as being upset? Were you expecting him to say something that you wanted to hear?
i mean all he said is the wolves are deeper and denver doesn't have a bench. he likes jokic a lot.
Or Ant being the best athlete of all time, that one too
just don't cry when black people talk about racism then we'll say touche.
Dude stop being a hater. Joker was the main guy in the series - he scored a bit more and as efficiently as both Lebron/Davis, out-rebounded Davis, out-assisted Lebron. Jamal was just clutch, but he was bad otherwise with 40% from the field for a go-to scorer, guarded by D. Russell. Stop hating european players.
Jokic was outplayed by AD so draymond is right
@@danLTa1how? He averaged more points, rebounds and assists. Was far better in the clutch and won the series. How did he get outperformed lol
@@danLTa1 He wasn't embarrassed by Joker as in the previous matchups, that doesn't mean he outplayed him. Joker got 28/16/10, AD got 28/15/4. If you remove both players from their teams in this series, Lakers are 100% winning, instead of the Nuggets.
@@danLTa1 WTH did you watched? AD outplayed Joker by 1-4 🃏🃏🃏
@@telenovelaslatin1 Stop it, Davis didn't bother to show up in winning time.

I believe the Nuggets will not take the Wolves lightly at all. The thing about is that these dudes like Draymond, Gilbert and a few others love to hate on the nuggs and no one in media seems to see it or call it out. The Wolves better be ready for the Nuggets.
Wolves coming back for revenge from last year! It will not be easy for Denver this year.
It will be a good matchup. I have a feeling Nuggets will play better than the Lakers series.
@@medved4030wolves in 6. Ant here.
Nuggets winning in six who going to stop the joker is a good ball player and a good scorer
How's he hating on Denver?
Jamal's stats for shooting percentage were a disgrace. Him shooting the buzzer was fixing his own mess. There is no heroics in that.
2p - 37.5%
3p - 0% (0/5)
The worst part is he continued shooting in the next game also missing. Lost his sense for the team.
Keep crying 😭
CONGRATS FOR 100K BROTHER!!
I love your freeflow takes bruh.
They match up so well.
The suns matchup made people forget how bad there offense actually is . The suns defense is terrible so Tim’s offense was inflated .. there defense is not tho.. so it’ll come down to can the Tim’s score .
After watching the first game of this series, i like the wolves chances. the Timberwolves defensive strategy bothered Jokic, forced turnovers and there isnt anyone on the nuggets who can guard Ant.
Clark Kent at the end of video 😂😂😂
You guys don't get it ! Joker is a badass and will win ..green is a straight up clown
👍
That’s some rude ass shit
Whatever happened to respectfully disagreeing, my brother? Draymond isn't clowning, he is just making a prediction. Both Jokic the player and Draymond the analyst are great in my opinion.
Draymond gave clear reasons why the timberwolves team would give the nuggets trouble and you just ignore it
Casual
I have no idea how this is gonna play out, but I know one damn thing I’m gonna soak up every minute
Wolves v. Nuggets is probably going to be the series of the Playoffs
As a nuggets fan, yall have to be open to speculation and criticism. What he says is very fair. Jokic has notoriously struggled when there's multiple bigs , one on him and one roaming at the rim.
Of course, they are still the favorites and Jokic is still unstoppable no matter what they throw at him, but this is going to be a challenge for them.And Jokic is going to need more help in this series from his team, bench included
I agree entirely. If Jokic is the player I know he is he will take this challenge and he will overcome it. It also helps that has teammates that know and accept their role. This will be an even greater accomplishment because the West isn’t as easy as it was last year.
Thank you. Draymond was just giving his logical reasoning and people think he’s hating or underestimating the nuggets.
Literally what he said happened game 1 but there so emotional they'll call it hate lmao
Keep underestimating the Nuggets. Love it. Like Denver bench minutes have ever mattered. Those dudes are playing with Jamal or joker at every moment. I love Monte but you’re gonna say Twolves are deeper bc the got a dudes that don’t even play?! Nugget hate forever.
You nuggets fans are unbearable my god y’all finally win a title and stay talking shit relax draymond wasn’t wrong the wolves clearly have a deeper bench. They have the 6 man of the year in NAZ Reid and a great two way guy in NAW and a versatile wing in Anderson. Stop being a homer
@@Corey41929 unbearable Homer say what? Explain again why the Twolves are beating the nuggets in a playoff series bc of naz Reid, slomo, nickel, dime, whoever. It’s not about bench minutes and it’s ironic bc draymond knows better.
@@dumafujibro I am a Denver fan but you bias if you think Wolves is going to be easy.
It's a 50-50 series. Timberwolves bench are better than Denver's.
But we have the best player on the court by far in Jokic.
@@angahbg9089 dude, when did I say it was going to be easy? I’m not underestimating the wolves. I’m also not underestimating the nuggets. We have been a quality playoff team for a lot longer than Minnesota. But I’ve seen way more guys saying “wolves in 5” than “nuggets in 5”. I think people are making a little bit too much of beating a pretty crappy and hurt suns team. They should have beat them and they did. Props.
@@dumafujisame reason why those guys beat kd, beal, and book
Interesting point.
The one concern i have is the Wolves are a team built to specifically beat the Nuggets by the guy who built 90% of the Nuggets core.
This the part you don’t say out loud. From a wolves fan
You called it. Denver can play a lot better. But they're down bad atm.
Can’t believe he said that
The Nuggets are not in trouble!! You are with the warriors
Nuggets suck bro. Come on. Joker cares more about his horses than you
@@WillSapp1Nuggets do not suck Lmao. Sound like a hater
@@WillSapp1 bahahahahahahahahaha, what a comment
@@jocelynalirez5551 I’m a realist, no bench is an issue
@@WillSapp1 A realist? Just like saying the nuggets suck?? Lol 😂 I’ll come back to this comment after Saturday!
Welcome Denver To God Mode!!
His Name is ANT!!
He's right
FACTS!!!!! Preach
Anyone who picks a team over Denver is either dumb or desperate to for the props they’ll get it they are right. Not saying Minnesota can’t beat Denver, but it’s disrespectful to pick anyone over a healthy nuggets, and you’d only do it for the props you’ll get if you’re right. This Series in my opinion is a guaranteed 6 games. Which in my opinion is the only way Wolves win is in 6. If it goes back to Denver for 7, Nuggets will win
Spot on , 4-1 to nuggets
What if nuggets loose 4-0 to the wolves???🐺
What a stupid comment. Even if logical basketball reasoning shows you that this timberwolves team is a tough match up you’re just gonna ignore it because it’s automatically “dumb” and “disrespectful” to pick any team to beat the nuggets. Draymond had logical reasons for why he picked the Timberwolves and now they’re up 1-0. Don’t call people dumb just because they don’t think the Nuggets are invincible.
@@teal2913lol😅

All right. I don’t know what the fuck is going on. Can we just say you were right and I was right and this series has clowned all of us?
I think you're still playing basketball and being analyzed and you're very good at it
No one talks about naz reid...the nuggets best bench guy is reggie jackson 1.5 games a series and braun trying his heart out..thats the bench
Is that the same naz reid who was clamped by peyton Watson, you know that guy he is on nuggets bench, gobert + kat + reid are not even to the joker knees bro, you are really going to fak around and find out
@@Peca-sz6ythow you feelin now bro?
Whose bench is not good enough, Dray?
Love you drey...but nope. Denver in 6

Wolves in 5. Aint no stopping conley in this series. He is a veteran sniper with the most clutch gene and we had seen him do it when he was with memphis
@@markwatson3766Who’s stopping Jokic, Murray, and MPJ??? Lol especially MPJ and Murray because those two are snipers. Take both over Conley any day
now you will realize who ant is
@@jocelynalirez5551 MPJ struggles when guarded by agile lengthy defender. He will be guarded by kat, mcdaniels and edwards ( insane vertical and girth). You will see the difference in game 1. Denver will adjust in game 2 by designing new sets. Wolves just have lengthy bodies unlike Lakers who had davis and lebron. Rui was liability on defense and guard defense for Lakers was atrocious at best in the history of basketball. There was a reason Lakers were in bottom 5 whole season for opponent 3 point shooting. They can’t guard at perimeter and I am still surprised how that team made out in playoffs. Warriors/ houston were more impactful and capable team than Lakers. Reaves and DLO cannot start for a team that is vying for a championship. This league is full of quick, agile guards these days.
It’s a really simple fix, don’t put your hoop at the end of a driveway without a back stop, or hang up a net.
This was spot on series is 2-0 wolves now
Tell ‘em Dray
Nah he’s kinda right. Semi. Hopefully will be an 8 man rotation, but nugs really might not come out on top
Nuggets are currently 5.5 favorite.
It’s funny everyone in the comments saying Dray’s just a hater but they’re not actually combating anything he’s actually saying. Denver’s bench is not as good as the Minnesota’s bench. Coach Malone had a weird rule in the Lakers series where he didn’t want to play Braun and Watson at the same time. The Lakers weren’t a good team this year and they had big leads against Denver every game. KCP, Reggie, and one other bench dude is gonna have to step it up for them to beat the T-Wolves.
I was rooting for the Lakers but I don't think they would have been the Wolves.
As a Nuggets fan, I agree. I'm good with the starters, that bench scares the shyt out of me.
blame calvin booth and his arrogance in not bringing anyone in at the deadline
Why do you hold the mic
I pick the nuggets, jokic is the goat the best player I have ever seen, the NBA has no answer for him
aged real nice 👍
Rudy ain’t stopping jokic buddy
And who's gonna stop ant man?
You're right.
Naz Reid and KAT are lmao
lol. This the same guy who thought the Lakers were going to win against the Nuggets. 😂😂😂
2-0
6-10??? Bro, Nuggets played 8 guys last year, no problem. Sometimes 7. They fine.
He was right 💯
Timberwolves got more to prove than The Nuggets let's not be prisoners of the moment I do agree the wolves had better bench but Denver knows how to make adjustments despite not having a deeper bench I have Nuggets in 6
You need to take in to account the surgency of MPJ. Bro averaged 23 & 10 on damn near 50 40 90 splits and with all the defensive attention Jokic and Murray will get I don't see him slowing down. Not to mention Jokic averaged 32 12 and 4 in their match ups this season on 60% from the field and 40% from 3.
Nah
Yeah MPJ was dog shit this series 🤣🤣🤣
I'm taking Denver in 7. I think they'll win the West, but Boston might give them legit problems.
Obliviously the warriors we’re eliminated by the regular season
This aged too well
Your prediction was pretty good! Very prescient! Timberwolves look like they have a chance to win this series.
Twolves in 5
He is right, Nuggets will need a lot of luck in order to repeat last year's success. (by Nuggets fan).
One such violent (dirty) player on the court, that he has such good comments about NBA basketball, I'm surprised.
Draymond Green is among the best commentators in NBA basketball. He comments very intelligently on all teams, players and all matchups.
As someone who strongly disagrees with his actions and sometimes playstyle. He's knows the game, and I'm man enough to admit that.
You obviously never watched 90s ball
Behind Nightcap I enjoy Draymonds takes
@25lighters91 Tim leggler and Mark Jackson have the most unbiased opinion YT channels. It's a little too technical for non players I feel, but that's what I like about it. It keeps the fan boys of a certain player away because they talk facts only.
@@markcarey67did you watch play off basketball? Antman got whacked in head by Beal on the dunk and no call. I think in the playoffs the calls are less, so it evens out
No they not
Nuggets offense is unique than the other team in Nba, i think nuggets will overcome the wolves defense
The first game going to tell it all. I just feels like this is the most important game of the series. But do have Denver in 6 if they win the first one if Minnesota wins the first one I have Minnesota in 6 if they make any sense. To me who ever wins this serious more likely wins the finals
Draymond, I appreciate the love from another wolves fan. Especially after we whooped your guises butts during the regular season. Taking it like a champ and passing the torch down.
I want to thank you for it using the promotion at the end so all of us can just skip through it because none of us will watch it anyways. Well done, very well done sir! 👏
ant might break jamal murray's legs for real
And he will hit two more buzzer beaters with no legs this time.
@@goosinator6066he ain’t hitting buzzers beaters against the wolves they actually got players that love & dedicated to playing defense & they got length the Lakers have nun of that
@@goosinator6066 lol, mn defense on a different level. ant/jaden is going to be great wall of china on him, and thats with two good legs
@@clutchbeyers Murray actually made more shots while heavily contested, in uncomfortable position.
That dude is made for clutch, but the price he paid was he bricks open floaters.
@@clutchbeyersDenver also have body to throw at Ant. KCP,AG,Braun,Watson...
It's gonna young MJ vs Pistons for Ant
"The Wolves are so scary" is 2 weeks away from becoming "Denver is so good." This would have been like thinking Rose's Bulls could upset Lebron's Heat. Unbelievable defensive team that still lacks secondary shot creation without enough rim pressure. Nuggets in 5

Lets hope you're correct because Jamal said Wolves are still the same team.😅. BUT LFG MN WOLVES NATION! Time to prove it and take it all!
I disagree. Nuggets have the players to slow down Edwards. The question is how is KAT going to play?

Minnesota bout to win this series
What’s Minnesota 6-10 they run a 8-9 man rotation with Conley as the starting guard this ain’t the same Conley from Memphis
Nuggets bench is weak for sure, but have you seen the 3 dunks by CB against them last time? He had the extra juice against the wolves for some reason. Count on him to bring the same edge into this series
Nuggets just won a championship on their 1-5, WTF you talking about Draymond? Nuggets bench has been solid. They absolutely dominated the Lakers bench. Braun and P Wat have been playing their role well. Jackson needs to rein in some of his shot selection but solid otherwise. Only way Wolves win this is if KAT actually contributes and Ant goes GOD mode.
You jinxed the nuggets with that last sentence lol
@@triggatrey2112 funny how when the wolves get called for obvious fouls, suddenly the series looks completely different.

Lakers were also supposed to give them tough series.
What’s with all the hate and doubt towards Denver?
I don’t think DEN will be able to consistently win the boards thus they’ll likely lose this in 6. I think MIN gets game 1. Tough defense matchups across the boards. I’d let Joker eat all he wants but Jaden McDaniel will be MPJa grill. Gobert can play on Gordon and Gobert will win those boards. AE can switch on and off who he wants.
Nah Rudy on jokic & McDaniels gon be help defense
I like Minnesota but I don't trust Gobert and Towns. Plus can Connley stay healthy enough for the run? I just don't see it.
Team Too Cool For School vs Team YMCA... I'm a bit worried that we might get disappointed that Team YMCA is going to win. Nuggets were always what Warriors needed to be, disciplined and play the game right. Warriors were always what Nuggets needed to be, star studded but a little more disciplined about fundamentals and camaraderie. Just a little more to push eachother over the edge to spill into championship territory. Nuggets have both and their guys are all in a prime time together. They recreated the perfect 2015 storm and Warriors are now the ones stuck in the NBA bureaucracy...
Dray is a defensive minded guy. And Minnesota's defense is elite. Basically its very similar to the Warriors. Defensive dominance with one offensive Juggernaut. It was Curry when the Warriors did it. It is Edwards for the Wolves this year.
Funny Minnesota right now have the best playoffs pffense.
@Momo-jz9ju Vs the horrible Suns defense 😂
We shall see mate. We shall see
Record technical fouls on his resume could hurt him 😂😂...but the way Draymond can break down a game, he should be a head coach one day. He might have do the assistant coach role, get the "Mr Tech" stink off 😂...
Sooo many podcasts. I remember when it seemed like this mattered. Gotta step your game up bro. Looks kinda sad-you by yourself in your bathroom or whatever😆
Wolves should win it. But I've not seen anyone crack the "Jokic code" in the playoffs yet. Until someone convincingly makes Jokic look stoppable, he's the best player in the league and the Nuggets are the best team in the league with championships each year.
Yee Timberwolves have been a thorn in the nuggets side for a couple years. Nuggets can’t have any slow starts
I hope Joker listens to this. He'll show you who the NBA boss is right now.
KAT guards Jokic. Rudy is second line and takes the dunker spot option away from Gordon. Wolves have advantages all over the place.
I won't rule the Nuggets out. They got a lot in the bag to win in the playoffs. T'Wolves will be a great matchup though.
I have seen this guy making strategies against denver and jokic since last years western conference final.If the nuggets reach the conference final this year then he will say Mavs/Thunder looks better,hungrier etc
K pal lmao
Y’all all calling Draymond a hater but y’all really not hearing what he saying
So far he was spot on
How about now?
Jamal Murray played alright jokic carried them
All you guys underestimated the nuggets last year as well.
Let's go nuggets
Now you cant underestimate the wolves. Wolves in 6
We were underestimated all year It's.
Not over yet.Big guy let's go nuggets
Nobody knows for sure what will happen, it can go either way. But I still think nobody really respect the actual champs and the MVP. Hope Denver wins so everybody has to eat their words.
Dude that's how how life works. The series could have been flipped but it didn't. Nuggets are going to repeat and as much as you wish they lose so you guys can feel great. They will win
The NBA has leveled out now ain’t no team that great anymore to repeat as champions too many teams with homegrown talent & there finally hitting there peak Wolves & OKC for instance & next year it’s gon be another young team that pop up from nowhere nuggets ain’t that same team from last year. Won’t see another team dominate like the warriors did
@@zayharris-sk9dp Are you speaking from a point of objectivity? Nuggets vs Wolves were 2-2 for the season. One of the loss Murray didn't play.
@@L0ngstrip yeah they were 2-2 & out of all 4 games Karl only played in there first matchup of the season & missed the last 3 games against them. So what Murray missing one game supposed to mean Karl missed 3 games

Hey Draymond, would you consider shifting your profession to podcasting once you're done playing?
Bro he already has changed his profession. He is a part time NBA player
