    Default Wolves look.. Different (esp on defense)

    Game 3 and so far tonight Denver are getting the shots they want and the offense for Twolves looks stagnant. Max players aren't playing like max guys. Something might need to change

    Lightbulb Re: Wolves look.. Different (esp on defense)

    The massive public recognition and disgust, Twitter/social-media documentation, on Pacers, Nuggets, etc getting royally screwed in early games …..

    The strong likelihood of NBA officiating working for Vegas sports books was the most apparent in years….

    Rick Carlisle & Jamal Murray’s intolerance of grotesque injustice ….

    …. All made Silver feel the heat, and as a result, Minnesnowta was no longer allowed to foul constantly anymore with no whistles.

    Really changes a series.

    The long break between games 2 & 3 was the worst thing that could have happened to Minnesota. And it's the only series with such a break. Very unfortunate for them.

    DeAndre Jordan having not played a game in this series is the worst thing that can happen to the Nuggets

    Murray's moving well again and all of a sudden that stifling Minny defense isn't stifling anymore. What a surprise.

    I mentioned exactly that in the game thread before Game 3.

    The nuggets made adjustments ad non cotm teams tend to do. Letting murray rest for half a week certainly played a part as well

    you're saying, in order to stop Rudy Gobert the 4 x DPOY is to just pay him even the tiniest attention
