When players play actual defense against this guy, he looks like the fat, goofy unathletic, uncoordinated euro plumber he should look like

He did get roasted at the rim and in the paint. It was quite bad. Idk how minny couldn't do this last year? They got destroyed by Jokic in the first round with the same exact core of players.

More playoffs experience goes a long way, as does improved chemistry. Not to mention, Finch seems to be getting more buy-in than last season, and their younger talent has ripened further. Just some of the many reasons you can't really equate teams from year to year even if their core doesn't change.

Most of those clips is Jokic on the floor with 3 small guards and MPJ. No rim protection at all.

He also travels and offensive fouls alot. Also KAT can shoot the 3 which makes JOKIC have to run out to the 3 point line to challenge him and that wears on his stamina.

McDaniel grew 2” since last year, and got better with ball pressure. Murray and Caldwell-Pope weren’t hurt last year, and the Nuggets had another shooter for Yolk to kick out too, in Bruce. Bruce also attacked weakside close outs REALLY WELL.

Nuggets got worse/hurt, Minny got a year better/more chemistry. And the refs swallowed their MF whistles. Hard to win facing that combo. But if Malone figures out how to have injured players play more physical than a younger bigger team, it would be some sh!t to see!

Oh I’ve peeped a lot of dirty offensive fouls out of him. Lots of forearms and elbows. Very Bron esque. Just missing the LeHeisman stiff arm.

You know who travels the most for Denver? Michael Porter Jr. literally all the time.

Timberwolves being a "Young" team is overstated. They have a young superstar at 22 years old. The rest of their main rotation is

Kat 28
Kyle Anderson 30
Rudy 31
Conley 36
McDaniels 23
Naz 24


Nuggets have

Yolk at 29
MPJ 25
Bruan 23
KCP 31
Jamal Murray 27
Gordon 28


Nuggets aren't old at all. The four best players are all in their prime age years pretty much.
