What an awful coaching thing to say
Don't forget the baritone voice
This has been the most interesting playoff series I’ve seen for at least a decade. For basketball lovers, i’m not sure it gets much better. I hope we can see this for the next decade because it’s awesome.
Rare that the best 2 teams in basketball meetup in the conference semi-finlals.
every media spent more time talking about how the DPOY 4x DID NOT stop 3x MVP Jokic... to me Mike conley absence was the biggest blow. Like you said he brings so much variety and poise in the offense, his pnroll with Gobert is almost always a guaranteed bucket, Gobert screens perfectly for him and he always find the good spot to hit his shots. They have a way more balanced offense when he's on the floor and Edwards can abuse his athleticism off the ball
That was such a great trade (dLo for conley and NAW)!
What worked for those 2 in Utah, they brought to Minnesota. Gotta love it
thank you ! most people don't realize that
So what happened in game 3?
@@enrijuan96ant got injured in game 3 by a jokic illegal screen is why he played bad he was also dealing with an injured elbow which he got from jokic 🤡
I’m a huge Timberwolves fan. Anyone who thinks they have any clue of what is gonna happen in game 7 is just lying to themselves. It could be an all time classic or a 30 pt blowout for either team. What a rollercoaster for these two fan bases.
🫣
Definitely. I think coaching is gonna win this game. Both teams have shown they have the talent and will to win the series. It's up to the coaches to put the players in the best position to succeed.
I love how you summarize main adjustments from all throughout the series just to realize help us realize this is one of the most tactical series ever
Gobert is so good at defending the driver and the dunker spot at the same time
Hes almost like chet holmgreen
@@Mofoshow yeah but much stronger and with way more experience, but Chet has insane potential I'll agree
Not as good as the true DPoY Anthony Davis
@@jdrmanmusiqking Yeah, man. AD is so much better at sitting on that couch.
Yup true. Not that great at 1 on 1 defense but the amount of time someone comes to drive in the paint, his presence literally makes them kick it out somewhere else or dribble the ball backwards out the paint lol
This is the finals IMO, very excitied for game 7 because whoever wins is very comfortable against the upcoming matchups.
I'm at the point where I lowkey want the Knicks to make the finals purely for vibes. Regardless of who comes out the East they're losing to the Nuggets/Wolves.
@@nikosclips.Celtics vs whoever comes out of the west 🔥
Sleeping on Dallas
this is finals,who wins here is 90% champion and can lose game or two just to little rest...
Lmao nyk ain’t as easy as you guys think they’re my top 2 for my black horses this season and last
Great contents. Kinda hard to watch these clips as a Nuggets fan, but it will definitely help to enjoy game 7 more deeply. Appreciate it
this was me for the Denver blowout videos lmao
If we make wide open 3s we win
@@Serenity01871if murray shows up yall might win murray been off all playoffs even last rd even tho he hit 2 game winners he was struggling the whole game
I hope wolves win - T-Wolves fan
As a wolves fan I've been stressed about this series the most. I know the nuggets are gonna come to play game 7 but I'm just glad we put up a fight and it wasn't a sweep. I think statistically Murray has to show up. When he has a big game it'll be rough.
best series of the playoffs easy
I'd say Philly/NY, just because of how tight the games were. Hoping for a close game 7!
Watching dirty plays of Embiid is not fun.

@@TakeaSwigofTheJuice .... What LMAO
Their defense was unacceptable in game 6. If shots aren’t falling, compensate it with good defense. Their defense has always been inconsistent. They can go from one of the best defensive teams in the league to the Hornets.
That game was rigged as hell. The NBA wants a Game 7 and this will bring revenue thru the roof. Go back and watch that Murray turnover when he basically handed the ball to Ant. There were just too many plays that didnt make sense.
@@dusttakerespecially for little Mike
@@dusttakeryeah ok normie🤡
Maybe not the players but the refs have been crazy inconsistent. Like how you let the players be shoving guys to calling every touch! If the refs let everything go nuggets are done.
@@dusttakeryeah like murray just said “okay I’ll throw the game” 😂😂😂😂😂 why do you watch if you think like that
You can bet that MIN will stick with this game plan in Game 7 since it worked so well. DEN will have to not only improve their shooting, but also come up with adjustments that work against MIN's defensive scheme.
Denver will adjust and win by 8+
@@je5406tbh the only adjustments the nuggets can make are hitting their shots, idk what they can do about doubling jokic
2:00 Incredible close out by Bite Bite. Already has the corner closed off when Porter gathers the ball.
Nuggets vs wolves is essentially "when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object"
No hate just basketball analysis. GOATED channel
Whoever wins the series most likely will be the next NBA champs. Great analysis!
Mix of that coverage so no one becomes comfortable and the Wolves got a Game 7 win.
I feel like they gonna choke because they don't have the experience
@@elmehdinafia1237 Conley and Gobert choked in a game 7 against this same team. Your prediction is actually pretty likely
@@Watermelon_Man yes Donovan Mitchell and Utah shooters choked big time..but Gobert is only a rim protector and in most games he only scores dunks so it's hard to choke blocks as a half defender or miss dunks haha
I'm more afraid that Twolves main offensive players like KAT and Ant choke because they've never been in a big game 7 like this.
Denver as a team they've been through this type of games and I just trust them more idk but hey you never know what's gonna happen..
I don’t think Ant should be your concern, KAT though..
Honestly man, amazing content. I have been subscribed for a while and your breakdowns and how quickly you turn them around amaze me. Keep it up.
Please dont leave out how INSANE denver shot the ball 3-5.
With AG turning into prime kobe and the wolves 3rd best 3pt shooting team by %, going COLD.
And they didnt even shoot the 3 well in game 6
Exactly. Denver was shooting like 55-60% in those games. That’s just impossible to keep up. Regression was inevitable.
@@michaelfox3940 the downward regression happened in game 6. Game 7 decent shooting % is likely for Denver and bad % is likely for the Wolves
@@je5406simply untrue. wishful thinking from a nuggets fan. this game comes down to a coin toss
Michael “never pass, never will” Porter.
As a wolves fan, I'm concerned with the plan. It works if they have a bad game, but they ain't having another bad game. So how will the wolves handle things if even half of those shots go in
The Nuggets still lose
Can't believe this channel is still under 100k subs. UA-cam algorithm where you at 🤦♂?
KAT a defensive monster. Never seen him play like this even though coming into the NBA his defense was talked about a lot. This is some A+ stuff though
Thanks for this complete video!
Love the content brother keep it up!
W vid, great series. Love the content
The Nuggets have had multiple games this season where the entire team seemingly out of nowhere just kept missing wide open shots for no reason whatsoever. It's so jarring that I can't tell whether it's a skill issue or a luck issue.
They were hitting crazy shots in game 5 though. Game 7 should be somewhere in the middle I'd guess. Lol
Basketball is probability, muscle memory, match-ups and athleticism. If all 4 arent aligned, good luck winning your game.
This game is completely different if nuggets shooters don't brick all night. Jamal was what like 3/14 in the third at one point? Unacceptable
i think he was 4/18 total
The careless, unforced turnover by Murray in the first that led to an Ant dunk turned the tide.
Gobert hitting a fadeaway equals an automatic loss 😭
Checkmate for the wolves.
Guarantee the nuggets are gonna be frying from three now that they’ll be looking for the skip passes. I’m interested to see how the wolves are gonna counter this knowing they’ll know this
This is a great analysis, best I've seen for the series so far! I still believe in the Nuggets!
They finally “HEDGED THE SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN”
Clutched up fr 🙏
right before bed perfect timin
This series is the result of the two best coaches in the league (Finch and Jokic) gameplanning magnificently
Crazy that Game 1 was probably the closest matchup in the series so far
Game 7 is definitely gonna be the closest of this series.

"I am Inevitable"
I love ur breakdowns I really think you should start predicting who’s gonna win😭
Do you guys think it will be positve or negative that we already know what the nicks look like when playing all their minutes for the up coming knicks vs pacers game?
FINALLY a video on it
I've never watched much NBA, just college basketball, this is the first series I've ever been excited for, the Minnesota Timberwolves instantly turned me into a fan!
My favorite channel
Great analysis, you really see the game well. The nuggets should have conleys man screen for the ballhandler in the backcourt to relieve pressure. And have him screen for murray off ball to get conley into the jokic/murray 2man game.
One recipe for a Nuggets loss all season long is when 50% of their shots are 3's into the 3rd quarter. That usually means the double on Jokic has been successful and the perimeter shooting is bad enough defenses don't change. In other games if they're hitting greater than 38% from 3 eventually teams will have to adjust their defenses then the Jokic-Gordon offense takes over. But to blame MJP or KCP for the threes isn't the entire story as the one wildcard the Nuggs possess to offset poor 3's is JM going to work. Unfortunately for him he's being defended straight-up by a player who is ascending to a superstar two-way player (Ant).
Edwards play could be the deciding factor on who wins G7. Its too bad JM doesn't seem capable to match him because that battle could be a dream storyline in G7.
goat production
Great coaching on both sides
Here for the slow mo and cool graphics. I hope he also says something about this
Murray and Porter being duds and not being able to score to save their lives + whole Denver forgetting how to rebound defensively = ggwp.
Great analiysis!
Defensive breakdown videos are top tier
Amazing content
Thanks!
It’s honestly sad this ain’t the finals. The system is set up weird where the West is so much better then the rest.
Hi hoop venue big fan of this channel but I want you to make a video about McDaniel who is ex factor for Twolves and is his offense gonna improve
Coach Malone takin notes
Good content. One of the things you can improve upon is adding in consideration of the scheme employed by Denver when they're ahead vs behind. That was not done well in this video, while many others things were.
11:08 Might be the silkiest three ball ever shot
LET’S GO WOLVES!!! 💪🏀🐺
I'm not sure if it's true, but it could be since the NBA IS entertainment, but I heard there was a script already in place and the Nuggets lost 108-102 with Jokic scoring 25/8/12, Murray with a sad 13 4/16 shooting. Karl and Edwards let the team and two huge posters in the first half by 2 elite dunkers on Sunday. Thats just what I heard though, very sad though.
Who u got in g7?
Sticking with my prediction from before the series.
Said I think this series reaches a game 7, and it's hard for me to see Denver losing in that situation on their home floor. However, Minnesota is in REALLY good shape after some of the things they found in game 6.
@@HoopVenuesure but if DEN makes shots its a blowout
@@Serenity01871 Yeh but what if Minnesota makes shots 💀😱
@@ilikecheeze5110nope let me tell you why when Denver makes their open shots it allows more time for them to recover in defense and get their match ups where wolves find it difficult to score but when they miss these many shots wolves get in transition and them being more athletic helps them to score quicker and it becomes like a snowball effect.
@@Serenity01871if denver made shots in game 6 they still lose handily bud. wolves suffocated the f*ck outta ur boys, just accept it
For Denver to play this bad again is impossible. But I think they will change a lot for tonight. Nikola is going to be the point guard, and everyone else will be cutters. If they start making shots, Wolves are going to have tough time keeping up. Close everyone else and let Ant do his thing and they will not be as lethal as they were in game 6.
Best defense Timbs played all year tbh
As a die hard wolves fan..we cant expect den will miss that many 3pt shots in gme 7...
they could make almost every open look they had and still woulda lost. wolves defense was the story, not denver’s misses
Game 7 is going to be fire!!!
Nuggets didn’t have enough cap space for Made Shot on the roster
Yall made the assistant coach look like a potato in the thumbnail 😭
As a chess player, i tell you, this series are more like a poker match 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Come on, if not for Joker i dont even watch it. 🤦♂️
As a wolves fan, I'm nervous for game 7..
This was the best in-depth analysis of this series I've seen/read so far. Fk the national "experts" It was funny how too many of em just now noticed KAT on Jokic, when he's been doing it the whole series?
The adjustments for game 7 for both coaches will be really interesting.
Will Jokic shoot 10+ 3s, with the way Minnesota is now just giving him the shot? Which Murray will show up this time? What it just a bad game for MJP?
What will Minnesota's Off look like? A LOT of ISO plays for Ant + some P&Rs with Conley? How will they get KAT (or NAZ)? more involved?
IMO, I'm gonna guess for Denver, a lot more Gordon+Jokic P&Rs for Denver and off ball screens for MPJ. As well as constant Double teams on ANT.
And for Minnesota, a LOT more shot attempts in the paint, hopefully leading to more FTs, especially ANT. And unless guys like Gordon start making outside shots, they won't stop doubling Jokic either.
My prediction: 102:108, first real close game and Minnesota wins G7
I like your analysis and keep watching for the reason games. Denver got a lot of free space to throw in game 6, but the hit rate sucked, I hope they can recover that since the game became boring with a huge lead.
the amount of likes = the amount of pushups I will do today
302 and counting. Better get started. Stay hard!
so basically game 6 was the time where nuggets players and bench had to step up in scoring since since jokic was getting clamped, but they failed miserabely
13:42 What is KAT thinking here, walking off the court in the opposite direction to getting back on D? Sheesh.
I'm curious about your declaration that the Nuggets went away from having Gordon bring up the ball. Do you have stats on that or are you just relying on the memory-eye test? Do you have any theories as to why they would do that? (Same questions as to the abandonment of focusing the Denver offense on the empty corners.)
It’s May 18th morning. I’m calling it now, game 7, Denver gonna win. Cuz nba wants joker vs Luka
With game 6 in my mind I really can't see Wolves loosing, and on the other hand I believe so much in Big Honey, it's hard to predict game7
Has there even been more unpredictable series? If Nuggets are able to recover their offensive set, will they also lock down on D? Wasn't it a letdown in game 6 as the Wolves gave in game 3? Now we get one game for all the marbles, so are the Wolves on the road going to be able to shoot with that pressure? In game 5 they looked so tight in Denver and Nuggets couldn't miss. If both teams can feel comfortable on offense, expect an all-time great game. OT would be bonkers but hard to imagine based on very convincing outcomes previously.
They should definitely feed KAT the ball when they don't have AG or Jokic on him and force double teams to create more open shots elsewhere
Timberwolves CHOKE Eastern Conference Finals 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅
Murray has been off all playoffs gordon 2nd best player easliy
It's a good thing the roleplayers were so unaccurate because now denver has to adapt.
game 5 and game 7 is all that matters for denver they know wuz up. wolves are just supporting team.
I just feel the wolves will come up short this year, Joker will scorch them from three if they leave him open in game 7. Why? Because hes the best player in the world right now and thats that what the best do when it matters most. Its crazy to say after they won the first two games in Denver but I just think the wolves are still a young team that isnt ready to beat the defending champs in a road game 7. I just hope its a good game and not a blowout! I think whoever wins this series beats the thunder and should be well-favored vs mavs. Denver is the favorite period but I'd even take the Wolves or Mavs over the Celtics in the finals
Yup
If they put Karl Anthony towns and guard on joker they can win but if they have Rudy gobert guarding joker they not winning and kat need to stay out of foul trouble and score and antman can score 40 points they can win
If joker shooting 3s is what beats you you’ll live with that. I’d always rather have him shoot from 25ft away than 5 feet.
@@johnshottie4415 oh for sure, it's the best strategy on him. But I think he's just too good, when he has to make them he makes them because that's what the great ones do. If the Nuggets lose then I'll have to reassess my view but for now, joker has earned the respect and expectations.
@@johnshottie4415 yeah if he make them they can win but if don’t make them nuggets not winning I think this series go either way
The stat doesn't help Minnesota - If Denver will shoot significantly better than 19.4% (which is reasonable to happen), Jokic will get some help, the double team will be less effective and the whole game becomes different
Anyhow, good series - after game 7 everyone will be smarter
Almost like Minnesota has the best defense in the league by *far* 😱
My personal opinion, despite the Wolves defense on Game 6, Nuggets can’t just make a bucket
WE ARE LIVING IN NORTH KOREA
These dumb adjustments are what makes you think the nba is rigged. First, the wolves putting gobert on jokic instead of towns, now the nuggets abandoning the point gordon scheme. Like wtf?
cummon man think outside the box. It's not about just changing one matchup. One tweak in any of the five matchups could change the whole rotation. Next game wolves might wanna continue putting towns on Jokic but its not like Denver aren't constantly looking to change that matchup to back Gobert. So don't be surprised when you see Gobert find himself with joker on multiple occasions. It's always about making adjustments and strategies. One team counters and the other responds. Thats why even this guy says he cant wait to see if theres any more tweaks and adjustments or everything's been exhauster and now it comes down to who plays better. It's a long 7 game series against the same opponent and plus these two teams know each other pretty well
@@francisabongo2614 big L bro. The point just went flying over your head. Its fine tho. The series is still hella entertaining. It is indeed better to just enjoy it for what it is.
Who here currently lives in North Korea?
I stopped watching the game early, it seems like nuggets blew the game more than the Twolves playing so great. The nuggets scoring problems seemed to lead the lack of effort on defense. Game 5 defense by the nuggets was the best of the playoffs this year. If the nuggets play that defense and knock down shots I see them winning, but if they dont make shots the pressure may start mounting again. I wish they had more options on the bench. They really could take advantage of a mismatch for Jokic on the 4 with a knock down shooter at the 4. Sure Porter could slide in that spot but he can't hit anything this series and Gordon can hit those shots but not every game or even most. The lack of bench really hurts them this year. They definitely need to find more pieces in the off-season. Could you imagine Paul George signing with nuggets. Then Porter or KCP could come off the bench or try different variations with PG at4. They could use someone like that this series. I don't know if Gorbert could stay in with a 4 like that. They d have to bench him most of the time.
WHOEVER WINS THIS SERIES WINS A CHAMPIONSHIP...
Jamal needs to work on his self-control
Combination of great defense and poor shooting. Can't wait for game 7! Should be a great ending to this amazing series! Go Wolves!!
a bit like OKC let Mavs shoot 3 as they want and open but missed?
Perfect tactic till they just hittin wide open 3s
So pretty much is Jamal Murray plays point wolves win 7 I joker or Gordon plays point dey can't do shi 😭
bro making predictions for the g7 is impossible haha
We will have to wait until the game starts to see how the refs are going to dictate the game.
If they let the game be physical (and by that I mean that not every contact is a foul) then the Wolves have a big chance of winning. If they don't and just let Jokic off the hook for throwing elbows and moving during screens then the Nuggets will win.
NORTHKOREA
who is winning this game tho?
Diddy do it?
😂😂😂
Denver is going to win game 🎯 Sunday by 12 points
to add also that Jamal was beyond terrible! also Malone didn't prepare the team, tactically or mentally.
