    To be fair, it's pretty easy for national guys to miss some of the nuances of what the Wolves have to offer because there's so many games to watch. As clumsy as he is, it's easy to forget Kat still has the ability to get in a rhythm and score 25-40 points a game from all over the place. He has not done this in these playoffs for many reasons - including the fact that he is still recovering from knee surgery and is getting his conditioning and confidence back. However, if he and Ant both go for 30 plus and the defense holds up as it has for much of the year, the team could really be a handful. That's in no way intended to be disrespectful to the great team that Joker runs so well, but I don't think the champs had an excuse for losing two straight home games in front of their great fans in that thin air and familiar surroundings.

    For the blowouts in the Min-Den series, one thing that I wish commentators would note is Minnesota has a huge advantage when their defense can play physical, but a lot of that is dependent on how tight or loose the refs are with calling fouls, so the game style for some of the games is often determined by the refs, which often heavily favors one team or the other a lot more than in any any other playoff series I can remember in recent years. This despite the calls being pretty consistently applied to both teams pretty much every game this series (unlike what seems like every Knicks game this year in the playoffs).

    Don't mean to take anything away from Wolves as they're my 2nd fav team behind the Nuggies. But quite frankly every single loss dating back to R1 has been Nugs beating themselves more than they got beaten, except for G1 which was more competitive.
    Whatever problem this team has just seems so mental. It's like their focus are so sporadic and they aren't even present to play ball, or know what's actually at stake; kind of like what you said post G2. Murray seems to be THE visual representation of this problem, like he was never really "there".
    They may have played shit teams barring Suns last year but their focus seemed way tighter and conjoined as a unit. Similar thing when they dropped G2 to Heats in Finals they just fucking slacked off. Ofc a large part of it was due to Wolves being an insanely great team that it could pick apart and expose that weakness, unlike the Lakers. The way the Wolves dropped G3, 4, 5 seemed like the other way, where the Nugs beat them but at least they felt cohesive and focused as a singular unit.
    Quite frankly even if they get out of this series alive, unless they fix that mental disunity they have it'll just be the same shit again. If they must lose I'd have more fun seeing so after giving their truly best than whatever boring garbage G2, 6 and the entirety of R1 was.

    Mailbag question: you say you don’t have Tatum as a top tier superstar. Can you honestly assess how much of that is because he’s been on great teams? I don’t mean to sounds like a Tatum Stan but in my opinion he is harshly criticized because he’s been on great teams and those teams seemed like they underachieved. But in reality people don’t understand how important experience is and how young he was.
    It’s just confusing because yesterday you talked about how good his decision making was in the crunch time and how it won them the game in their final playoff game against Cleveland. But then you use that against him saying he doesn’t take charge like top tier superstars… but in reality he’s making the smart basketball play. Where is the line? He’s on a stacked team so of course he’s making sacrifices for everyone else but the important thing is he’s stepped up in other areas specifically defense and rebounding.

      I tend to agree with you in this sense, how is Tatum in his like 7th ecf and not a top tier guy? Regardless of his team's talent level he's always been the number one. I think he's penalized for losing as a young leader in ecf while other guys don't gt that far and lose in the same fashion but it's not on a big stage like the conf finals. At the end of the day Tatum is top 5-8 guy depending who you ask and the year. He's accomplished everything but mvp and finals mvp. To me this is the year he will define his legacy. If he wins this year next year they will probably give him mvp if he has another great year if he loses people will be settled on him being on the runner up superstar tier

      Yea, this is just a really weak, lazy take.
      Over half of the shots the Nuggets took were either “open” or “wide-open” shots, and they shot under 20% from 3 while shooting 30% from the field. This is way below regular season and playoff averages.
      That has absolutely nothing to do with the refs.
      Game 6 was called very similarly to the prior few games, just look at foul totals/free throws: 17 personal fouls against the Nuggets in game 5, 17 personal fouls against the Nuggets in game 6, versus 20 fouls against the Wolves in game 5 and 14 against them in game 6. Wolves benefitted from the whistle in game 6, for sure, but it’s very clear that the Nuggets just couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.
      Anyone who thinks they’re missing that many open looks at Ball Arena in game 7 is high on hopium, regardless of what the refs are doing.

    Everybody should quit pretending that this is some sort of deep mystery being revealed. Back in training camp, anybody respecting reality knew that unless Pikket* became rookie of the year, point guard play would be the main obstacle to a repeat. History says without any doubt, Murray will be injured. History also says that Jackson will shock and dazzle you a few times, and then just leave you shaking your head, asking why did he just do that……? So, that was it in training camp, and now we have the probable outcome from that choice through the regular season. Murray has made 3 shots throughout the playoffs that prevent all he is responsible for in these playoffs, being put squarely in his lap. Motivated? Injured? About to shock the world with crazy acrobatic shots, that all seem to go in? Which Murray tomorrow night? On top of all that, other aspects of the team are being affected. MPJ looks like an intimidated middle schooler, Payton Watson thinks he’s in the dunk contest, instead of just putting the ball directly in the hoop. Zeek Njai*, zero contribution. The draft class? Just not NBA ready. Wishful thinking clouded everybody’s judgement, including mine, but factual, statistical evidence is in. Nuggets fans need their oligarch “governor” to spend some money, of which he would not even notice in his lifetime, or just waste the most impressive and potentially the greatest basketball player of all time….🙃🙃🙃

      @roberthall1818 you have a point, but I still believe even Boston would lose in the east without 3 key players. Sometimes, there is an x factor with some teams/players that play with their heart and soul that other teams/players will never be able to.

    After coming back from 0-2 the nuggets just took game six off. Simple as that. They play Denver as well as anyone and are definitely capable of taking them out. But they definitely don't have anything figured out. Denver missed so many open shots in 6 it was insane. Hard to see them shooting that bad again.

    NBA is fixed. In no reality should Denver be launching all the three pt shots they did. What's even more apparent is the contested three pt shots they took. In there wins the were getting practice there's. The result of ball movement. The first half was just missed contested threes in volume. These are not serious people.

    Jason these takes are trash man. Are you even watching or just looking at box scores???
    “An offensive skill advantage?” You fancy yourself and NBA savant. You failed to mention:
    - The huge impact that Michael
    Conley Jr. has on MN. They
    played their worst game when
    he’s out.
    - Denver’s Flukey offense from
    their bench. Not repeatable,
    sustainable, nor replicatable.
    - Denver has lost every game that
    KAT hasn’t been in foul trouble.
    - Murray and MPJ have been no
    shows. MN has the size and
    physicality the Lakers didn’t.
    Last year Denver beat two 8 seeds, a 7, and a 4. They had the easiest run to the NBA title in the history of the playoffs. They had zero adversity and they never trailed in a in a series.
