    Cant even take NBA serious any more, try this level of defense on Lakers half of the squad would foul out by first half. Meanwhile with Mavs 'defense' SGA got 11 free throws in half time. Im totally ok with going back to the 90s hand check but how come its not allowed in the other series? Would be interesting to see when the wolves faces the thunders next series what kind of officiating would that be, the refs who wont call anything vs the refs who will call everything.

    His attention to detail on the murray/jokic pick and roll where he is just sitting low waiting for the pocket pass. Credit to the guards for fighting over the top and not letting murray just walk into threes. It allows the bigs to play the drop coverage and take away those passes to jokic that starts the 3 on 2.

    Gobert really makes a defensive impact beyond the stat sheet. He had zero blocks, zero steals, zero deflections, and zero minutes this game, and the Wolves's defense still clamped down on the Nuggets. Gobert for DPoY. The Wolves's defense falls apart without him, unlike with Wemby.

    First things first, congrats to Rudy on becoming a dad. I can not believe what I am seeing. The Nuggets did not crack 40 points until 4 minutes into the 3RD QUARTER. That is INSANE! This is the first time in a long time they have been made to look THIS bad. Jokic has been humanized through these 2 games. Murray has looked like a role player. Are we about to see a situation similar to the 2011 Lakers?
