Series Thread: 2) Nuggets vs 3) T'Wolves

[bksballer89]

Very interested to see where Minny goes with their defensive matchups. I would go with McDaniels on Murray and ant on Porter

Nuggets in 7. Great match up.

 

[ducky]

Wait, wait, wait.

Most people picked Phoenix in the last series and now everyone is in on the wolves?!?!

Pick a lane. Get off my bandwagon.

My heart says wolves in 7 but, if I had to put money on it, I would say Nuggets in 6.

Wolves just cant stop the Joker-Murray two man game.

And the little secret about Rudy is that he is one of the the best off the ball help defender in all of basketball history. But he is a so-so one on one defender against other bigs. Joker owns him. They dont even let Rudy on him all that much. It will be Towns and Anderson on Joker more than Rudy.

Key to the series might be if Towns can do his shifts guarding Joker and not get into foul trouble while doing it. And that right there is why I wouldnt be putting my money on the Wolves. Towns for many of these games will likely be playing limited minutes. And without his shooting, a lot of things fall apart offensively for the Wolves.

If Murray plays Denver wins the series, if not then Minny takes it.

You can put 0.0 next to the chances of Murray not playing

I read it as if Murray plays well vs plays poorly.

If Nuggets play like they did vs Lakers, the best they can hope for is Minny in 6. They are the toughest matchup for the Nuggets of any team in the West.

I’ll say Minny in 6.

I can’t go there. It was one series against a very poorly made team. Nuggets in 7 max.

This should be a helluva series. Not good at picking games. Just hope the Nuggets win.

This one to me feels like it could be the best series of the whole playoffs, too bad it's not WCF

Gonna say Minnesota in 6 just something about them they seem to have all the ingredients

Looking forward to the series starting tonight. And I agree it could be the best series of the playoffs.

will be hard for any series to top knicks/sixers

 

[bksballer89]

Expect Jokic to eat in this series. They won't double much since DPOY Gobert is on him

I'm expecting avgs of like 32/14/7

But you still have Wolves in 6 like I do

Yeah because I'm banking on the Wolves doing a better job on the others unlike the Lakers. Ant and McDaniels slowing down Porter and Murray to me is the way they win the series
