Timberwolves Dominate Nuggets in Game 2, and Knicks win Game 1 vs Pacers | Instant Reaction

[@EcFrenchToast]

As a Wolves fan hearing the crowd screaming “Wolves in 4!” was a surreal feeling and I don’t doubt this Wolves team doing anything at this point. Ant is the best player this playoffs, KAT has been insanely efficient and had played great defense all playoffs, Gobert is DPOY again, everyone on this team is playing their asses off and I’m just enjoying the ride!

[@pickaside]

Enjoy it man. What you’re seeing is special

[@tcplitty]

Bro i have watched this team build from the ground up , i sat through seasons watching derrick williams , alexey shved , and nikola pekovic , im beyond excited bro we deserve this shii

[@skoolynugenator1802]

@@tcplittyI’m right there with you. So many garbage teams that I would still watch hoping for some glimmer of hope. That glimmer came when they drafted Ant. I knew he would be special.

Not a diehard wolves fan but a diehard Ant fan never thought I would see Kat perform good in the playoffs wolves in 6 vs Boston 🐺

Wolves defense was swarming with long arms and active hands. The ball pressure was on a different level. Ant and his squad are putting it on the Nuggets and Joker. They are taking their souls

I always loved ur guys content but holy shit have I gained a new level of respect for Joel this episode. As a Indy fan I was obviously insanely pissed off after the game but I think Joel's assessment of the game was extremely fair (even though I disagree that we "don't have a good starting line up" because if we didn't we wouldn't even be here let alone be able to compete) but still I respect it so much that Joel specifically called out the "illegal" screen on Turner and now I feel even happier seeing u guys thrive!!!

[@philll.1358]

I like how The Wolves are built to specifically beat the Nuggets by playstyle and roster. I think one of the few teams left that could match them Defensively and Offensively would be Boston. Its kind of like a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Nuggets is a slow methodically game plan with maximum efficiency. The Wolves a large, interior, and physical game plan that stalls you out. Boston is a Read and React game plan that match-up attacks and is perimeter oriented. I think Bostons playstyle gives more trouble to the wolves than the nuggets because everyone on the floor is a threat so its difficult to zone in on one primary option. Wolves are making Denver struggle because denver only has 2-3 premium offensive cores that they can focus on defensively. Nuggets normally beat the celtics because their game is so consistent that ALL of the celtics weapons need to be hitting to win. This is great stuff🔥🔥🔥

[@Fool4Mimo]

Yall let Mike Malone off the hook way too easy. For someone a lot of yall were calling a “Great” coach he made 0 defensive adjustments. That 1st half just allowing Jamal Murray get constantly switched on Kat was nasty work

[@MallPeaMallCow]

Fun fact, Nikola Jokic has never won a playoff series against a 50 win team

[@karlk1004]

Seriously?... Wow

[@xavierdavidson5089]

those jazz and clippers teams would have won 50+ games if not for the bubble shortened regular season

[@xavierdavidson5089]

also in the current western conference, wins aren’t as much of an indicator of how good a team is since it’s so competitive

[@acesimmons1531]

I now agree that the only thing saving the nuggets from the lakers was Brons age and the lack of rim pressure he no longer can create looking at ANT his handle has gotten way too quick and he too strong for them if he can remain efficient this series is over

[@tylerwilson7851]

Graveyard shifters appreciate this so much

I thought the peak of my Minnesota fandom would be watching Derrick Rose drop 50 but now we got MJ 😭😭😭😭

[@Fchwpo_7]

We GOT ANTHONY EDWARDS stop comparing him to that asshole Ant his own player

[@1800LUNATIC]

Cant blame Siakam man, he came there to be the #2 and he's been the #1 again in a ball movement offence. He has been really good, halibruton is the problem tbh

[@FreshBOI1579]

I don’t understand why that moving screen is such a controversial call. You can’t move when setting screens period . Regardless of when it was called , you can’t do that . If that’s not called , that’s a missed call .

[@NarutoManiac300]

Brunson has clearly been the best player in the playoffs.

[@KxngAntTae]

Top 3 or top 2 fs but not over ANT of, his numbers, usage and shot attempts are gonna be high because no one else on the team can create offense.

[@NarutoManiac300]

@@KxngAntTae Which is why Brunson gets the nod for me slightly. He's had to do more with less.

[@djmk_8]

Joel the only one with the good take for the knicks-pacers game. Pacers lost by 4, robbed of the 2 possessions in NY, and the best two players didn’t play great. I don’t know how they don’t believe it can even go to 6.

[@GTA-5plus1]

Whoever comes out the west is winning it all. The Celtics are great but they aren’t gonna be prepared to play a good team. The path of: Heat > Cavs > Knicks/pacers is way too easy

Wondering why Jokic looks thebway he does. He always looks that eay against the wolves. KAT has historically been super effective against Jokic for a couple years. Also, Jokic is the only big playing against a ream woth 3 starting caliber bigs. Of course he looks tires. Hes exhausted.
