Assistant Coach Micah is good at his job and handles the media well!

Love my T-Wolves becoming a feared team in the league. And having a legit generational talent is beautiful
You all should be competitive for the next 10 years and after that last 20, I'd say you all deserve it. Anthony Edwards is the real deal - combination of skillset and attitude this is downright scary for the rest of the league.
We are building a dynasty right in front of our eyes and I love to see it.
Gobert trade was big for them, without him that defense wouldn't be that good.
I guarantee you, the Minnesota assistant coach is on somebody's radar for a coaching job
That’s is an absolute fact. He was always making in game adjustments
Lakers: 👀
Suns. Who better to hire than the lead assistant coach who helped game plan against them?
@@Li_YifeiNo. He shouldn't be a part of that mess.
lakers fakers😅
Jayden McDaniels was incredible as well. He is a fantastic defender.
@NickJaramillo-gi7gshe missed those wide open shots because Jaden was working him all game.
@NickJaramillo-gi7gs Jesus, take it easy.
@@samexoldxstop lol
@NickJaramillo-gi7gs keep yappin till wolves go 2-0 up next day
He was, but he needs to knock his shots, though.
Wolves were the last team Denver wanted to see in round 2
Who said that you
Factual!!!
Wolves winning this series 💪
@@rdeezy4978 you want them to win so bad lol 😂
What's the matter?
@@eddiecastro8227u not on the team u wouldn’t know u just a fan boy
This Micah Nori is a great interview.
I like how Malones notes the Wolves were the 1seed for the majority of the season for a reason
Timberwolves coach communicates effectively and appears competent. Lakers hire him 😂
Micah gives me head coach vibes with how he handles these pressers. As unfortunate as Finch’s injury was, it might end up being a blessing in disguise for Micah Nori for a future head coaching job.
This is the best time for Minnesota to win a ring since Garnett era
Garnett only made it out the first round once with the wolves
@@60Bando thats why now is the best time
And this is why I said losing Bruce brown was huge. Ain’t nobody on that bench gonna be able to keep up with nas Reid scoring. Its about to be a long series for the nuggets starting 5
Bruce brown wasn’t about to keep up with naz Reid either 😭😭😭
@SSJRome facts bruh 😂
@@SSJRome I’m talking about bench production, you’re in trouble if your best bench player is Christian Braun. Bruce brown was doing it on both ends of the floor.
NAZ* show some respect blud
@NickJaramillo-gi7gs where was that tonight ?
Wolves are the closest thing to watching a solid 90s defensive team that we'll see in these playoffs.
I'm so sorry but that's a statement of the obvious, we were still holding our own even when KAT went down...
LMAOOOOOO MALONE SALTY
😂😂😂
If being critical of his team’s performance is salty then yeah.
Now everyone’s salty
Bro whatcu mean?? He frustrated with his team performance
He’s salty at his own team which a proper coach does. He keeps them accountable. Not like Ham who the first thing he does is blames the refs and gives his players excuses
Kat held the back end together in the first half, the rest of the team came alive in the second half, great win wolves!
Did you watch the game 😂 Jokic 32
@@eddiecastro8227 on 11 of 25 from the field
@@eddiecastro8227what does that have to do with his comment😂 he’s right Kat and ant were keeping the team afloat
@@eddiecastro8227On 44% shooting, much less than his usual efficiency. They were wearing that man down.
Man when these two coaches answer, there's technicality as compared to Doc and Darvin.
What’s true is that Jamal has been playing mediocre this playoffs and the reason no one brings it up is because he has two game winners to cover his a$$, it’s basically MPJ and jokic against a full Minnesota squad
Not to mention that he is a bit hobbled.
@@urbaindelva7869That’s why he’s playing that way
The gm of the wolves constructed this team to beat the nuggets unlike the Lakers who did not bring in size to match up with the nuggets
Ironically, that's exactly how the Lakers beat the Nuggets the first time. They forgot about that.
The refs tried to give Denver the game, how you give Ant a tech for a stare down, then miss a blatant assault on Ant, then let Jokic literally push his way to the hoop with his hands and the kicker is Murray pulling out guns on Minnesota after he was fouled on the 3, and the refs ignored it after they gave Ant a technical for a stare down
I noticed that too. Can’t keep a better team down!
They were gifting techs all year for similar things, they don't allow that taunting, he should have known that. They also ignored Gobert holding Jokic's jersey 2 times, and they called traveling on Joker when Wolves fouled him. Refs sometimes miss calls it is normal, but calls on Jokic are missed on the regular basis. Making your way to the basket is not a foul, unless opposing player digs to take a charge.
Micah did a great job in game one. Timberwolves need to continue playing strong D in all 4 qtr and wear down the Nuggets.
Edwards and Conley defense is the key. Make Jamal Murray work on offense and play on the defensive end. Jokic is gonna get his just keep throwing those 7 footers at him. Make MPJ Win the series.
MPJ can do that. Jokic can handle all those bodies it doesn’t matter. But Murray hurt is the problem
True. I see this Wolves team right now like the Lakers when they won the championship, they have Dwight/JaVale.
"JAMAL MURRAY DIDNT PRACTICE WHOLE WEEK" -Malone
Due to injury or due to him thinking Wolves are just a walk in the park?
I think he's injured. He was wearing a calf sleeve, which I don't think he does often. Jamal doesn't seem like the type to overlook an opponent.
Minnesota let’s go
Give props Nori for getting a team so well prepared, nobody expected this from the Wolves. Everyone not just Edwards is doing all of this, he’s leading it but he can’t do it all alone.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it
Just like they smoked the Lakers 2 years in a row.
I’m so happy he gets to be finally humble
Love Micha Nori. He gives Ted Lasso vibes and seems very knowledgeable. We are lucky to have him
Ant will get his. Question is if the other role players can keep it up. There’s a reason they were 18th in scoring this year
Denver has to take advantage of that meaning getting into the paint and getting to the foul line
KAT is not a role player. He missed a chunk of the season, too.
WOW! WOW! Thats the value of having three high value big men...
Kat,Gob n Naz otherwise when Kat was havin shananigans, NR was superb....
I have never seen nuggets look worried in a while...They fear these guys. *THE WINNER OF THIS SERIES IS GOING 8-0 the rest of the way*
Why so many salty Lakers fans in here?
They disguise as Wolves fans 😂
They’re mad because the Nuggets have swept and gentleman swept the lakers the last two years 😂😂😂
@@user-lt1fx2he5sbe quiet chicken nuggets fans us Laker fans are rooting for the wolves
Minnesota Lakers baby
@@user-lt1fx2he5s😂😂😂 chicken nuggets surprised they aint fighting 40yrs old no more😂😂😂
That's where it all began...Minnesota Lakers 🎉 How you doing 😊 ?
That thumbnail is perfect...Coach on left doesnt look suprised at all by what just happened...Coach on the left looks terrified about what just happened.
But what about the coach on the left?
The guy on the left vs the guy on the left! FIGHT!
11 more games until t-wolves chip!
Coach u look happy 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
Quick sweep
Good game Wolves. See ya on Monday.
Mike Malone finna mention the media and the refs 4 times this series: one for each nuggets loss😂😂😂
What is finna
Basically means "about to."
@@kylewall8521 Going to
He ain’t even mention the refs????
Except he didn't mention the refs. What you talking about?
There are 6 more games!
3 more...😂
@uwinsome actually 4 more games, Denver will win. Considering how poorly Denver played and how great grizzles played and the game was still close tells me Denver will make adjustments and grizzles will not be shooting 76% again, that is very rare.
@@ElijahTishbite-bx4tn Mark my words !
@@uwinsome it's going 6 games Denver wins by 1 point
@@ElijahTishbite-bx4tn 2 more !
not even a wolves fan or nuggets for that matter but i have saicd for a few years i'd kill to get Naz on the miami heat along with bam!!
Comparing how Darvin Ham speaks post game to this 2 amazing coaching,its just right that the Lakers fired him.
Coach Micah maybe last year as Assistant Coach
Holiday was +19 and the nuggets clear best defender, takes a good coach to realise this and trust him. Has multiple good stops on Ant, pity Malone didn’t realise this!
I think he should go to that game 2
Micah would make a good Laker's coach. He seems very cerebral.
Hey Wolves coach, you didn’t reveal all of the game plan yet, keep going!
Irrelevant, but I like Micah Nori as a potential Lakers coach. Very competent guy from what I see
Reeves and DLo made Murray look better than he is
Yessss!!
Facts. Look at the defense being played on Murray right now.. He’s getting smothered
Thank god
@@pleasedonttemptme5963stop missing wide open shot has nothing to do with D
Murray was always inconsistent.
He can drop 2x 40 pts games, and 9 pts game after.
He reminds me a lot of Harden, when it comes to consistency of his plays.
Timberwolves are tye favourites in this series. I cant believe and it pisses me off that the whole season Nuggets had a weak bench and didnt once think to address this defficency. If they lose now it will all be front offices faults. How can you not address your most glaring issue?
0:25 Jamal Murray didn't practice all week? I guess that's Minnesota's fault.
He looks good vs DLo and Reaves, what happened
@@Gmanu29 yeah 30% shooting for second best player is great on championship team?
Lakers fans are just upset it’s all good guys next year u will have Jj reddick and draft bronny so when u get cooked again on the playoffs u can blame Any one but Lebron.
@@Sports-media180 enjoy that ring, imagine living in denver
M.Nori is givin too much, the HC needs to tell him to keep the crucial issues close to the vest....U can talk in parables n still communicate coach.....
..
No adjustments, how they shoot 71% at Denver, what about the altitude 😂!
Finch need to tell bro not to reveal so much tactics n game plans to the public
Anybody can tell what they are doing. They literally analyze it and Finch been saying it all last series. These aren't sum top secrets to any Analysts at NBA level. It's obvious what Wolves are doing. Just got to execute and play well
All he did was talk about what they did against the nuggets in this game. Do you really think the nuggets organization is so dumb that they can't see what happened on the floor. What they did isn't a secret. You sound slow.
The wolves just exposed the Nuggets lack of depth. That rotation is short.
Wolves ran circle around the Nuggs in the paint while Denver looked on!!!!!! That how you win against the Nuggets.
How do you like your two new daddy’s Michael Malone?? ANTT && NAZZZ
1 game what happens if nuggets win 2 or 3 straight ?
Best question of the year 😂😂😂
If you’re a Lakers fan, y’all shouldn’t be talking about daddies how the Nuggets have owned y’all team
@eddiecastro8227 IF IF'S WERE A FITH WE'D ALL BE DRUNK - Shannon Sharpe.
@@gdc6153 ya ok remember this same team down 3-1 came back in 2 series this is 1 game so we will see
Ant-Man did his thing! But there was just under 20 seconds left in the game while Denver was down by I think 6 - 7 points? And they threw in the towel without trying to press? Go look at that Knicks/Sixers series in two games both teams pressed and came out with a win after losing with second's left on the clock.🤔
You no what nobody is saying. I mean NOBODY. Denver had to play 5 games and wolfs played 4. Wolfs are fresher than Nuggets. That’s a bid deal. If Minnesota wins tonight. It’s really over. I said if Minnesota wins game 1 witch I thought they would. I have big time faith in ANT. He just knows how to win and lead. I believe wolfs win tonight as well and even if they don’t they will game 3. I just believe ANT knows how important it is to win tonight. He’s gonna have a bigger game than game 1. He knows if wolfs win tonight, we go home. That simple. Then it’s a another importance to winning game 3. Dude I’m not so sure any team can be wolfs !!!!
Malone can't sleep tonite he don't expect his defense is not enough to counter strength of Wolves
Will KAT foul out of a game in this series or will his playing time be severely hampered by fouls.
Play smart KAT.
Nuggets in a world of trouble!
Relax 1 game don’t make a series
Yup but love it cause these guys going to fuel nuggets keep it coming 😂
@@eddiecastro8227ye we gonna keep fueling the nuggets more by giving y'all 3 more losses 😂
@@raymondqiu8202 They ain’t sweeping. This isn’t the Phoenix buns
@@kohsmoger1567 I didn't say sweep, just that you're gonna get 3 more L's and lose the series. Think it will be wolves in 6
Not a good start when you get the first two at home.. stealing 1 game is what u want.. Wolves going for that sweep knowing they got it
To all the Minnesota fans who are just creaming in their pants right now. Yes Ant is great. Yes you’re a big team and a good team.
We lost this game because of bad defense, bad rotations, and bad decision making. Sure your D caused some of that but there was so much that we forced ourselves into bad decisions. Like Jokic not taking an easy floater for a bucket instead of trying to lob it to AG who was covered. MPJ trying to force up shots while on the run and off balance.
You won by 7 and WE played bad while having our superstar Pg hurt which threw the whole flow of the offense off.
You got 5 lucky points via bank shots of Naz and Gobert that won’t keep dropping.
We will make our adjustments and play better. The only reason Denver can’t win this is if Murray goes down but honestly if he just called it quits now we might have a chance because then it would give time for the offense and Reggie to get looks.
These guys beat a 68 year old LeBron James and thought they were juggernauts because of it😂
Dead 😂. It’s a definitely a different series
Come and reply to my comment when Denver wins the series.

Wolves coach look like he one of the fellas that did Luca Basi and mad him sleep with the fishes.
I like Michael Malone, but if I were a reporter, I would be scared to ask him any questions, win or loss. He always looks pissed. The man is even stingy about being called "Mike." I hope he doesn't see this comment. 😄
The trash talking wild in this comment section 💀 this is going to be the best series in all of playoffs. Whoever goes to the finals, it’s gonna be mid asf. This IS the Finals.
Wolves assistant coache putting Darvin Ham in small pocket in 5 minutes, does he want a job in LA ?
⚡️⚡️⚡️🤧🤧🤧
The wolves look like a dynastic roster. Could ant-man win the chip this year already? What a team!!!
best the wolves...
MIKE CONLEY HAS A DEFENSIVE RATING OF 111.ANTHONY ESWAR HAS A DEFENSIVE RATING OF 109 . THE WOVES STARTING BACKCOURT WILL OUTSCORE THE BUGGETS BACKCOURT EVERY GAME
AND THIS IS WHY THE WOVES WILL WIN THIS SERIRS IN 6 OR LESS GAMES.
Honestly, Denver is not winning team this year, lucky went through Lakers, no chance with Timbs with this attitude. Love Denver, but winning team is not there, not there Yet, I hope.
Not with a hurt Murray they aren’t.
You might be right, depends on team as a whole. Good luck-to them anyways.
