Absolutely massive Donte DiVincenzo game

NitroXYZ | UTA

118 | 7 hours ago

The 4 threes in the third quarter were massive but the way he competes on the defensive end is where I find most of his value. Reading passing lanes well all night and staying in-front of his man.

FeanorEvades | Timberwolves

His defensive skill isn’t phenomenal but his defensive effort is incredible and that more than makes up for it.

effort is half the game. With his frame, he can only be so good on defense and he absolutely is a net positive defender because of effort alone

Guilty of this of this. Really thought Cam would be equal to MPJ in the same role.

Millies_ButtersMilk | Timberwolves

18 | 7 hours ago

Honestly I never thought cam Johnson was much of an upgrade from MPJ and the main reasons was bc MPJ is hitting shots through a heavy contest all the time the fact Cam can’t even make open ones isn’t helping. Ik Denver thought they had to switch it up but I think best bet for them woulda been keeping MPJ and not signing Braun to that contract bc now they have to move off Cam to keep Watson. Honestly I just don’t think Braun is that good of a player tbh.

MostlyMellow123 | Kings

Nuggets needed to break up the three max contract build either way. Its not competitive

smalls_1804 | Knicks

And the theory was allowed them to sign Brown, Hardaway Jr, and Jonas who, to be fair, have all been clutch in their own right. Also paves the way to re-sign Watson and Strawther

FeanorEvades | Timberwolves

16 | 6 hours ago

Christian Braun is a good defender and decent slasher. The problem is that he was a 39.7% 3 point shooter last year and this year he’s shooting 28.4%.

Think about how bad Mike Conley has been this year - he’s shooting 31% from 3.

Braun last year shot 58.0%/39.7%/82.7% and this year he’s down to 49.0%/28.4%/76.8%. Just a ridiculous regression.

PanthalassaRo | Knicks

I’m convinced y’all picked up IHart almost entirely so you could run the double-big lineup against Denver that the Wolves beat them with in ‘24

itsnotyellowfever | MEM

23 | 7 hours ago

Having a rotating stable of KAT-Gobert-Naz (‘24) and Chet-Hartenstein-JWill (‘25) is massive against a player as offensively talented as Jokic and they’ve all gone above and beyond defending him in big matchups

Denver’s downfall these last two years has been the opponent having that stable while Jokic’s backup has literally just been “start the starting power forward at center”

AnkitPancakes | Thunder

9 | 7 hours ago

funnily, it’s the JayWill+Chet lineups that are more effective vs Jokic for some reason. i think maybe because jaywill+chet can both shoot which makes jokic have to run around more than he likes on defense

cdub1988 | Thunder

7 | 7 hours ago

iHart is so important for us, might be our 2nd most critical player behind Shai.

We’re gonna have to ship Dort on down the road if we wanna keep him and that’s a sacrifice I’m sure Presti is willing to make.

EsotericPotato | Timberwolves

164 | 7 hours ago

They are so good when they decide they care about a game. And it makes this other 75% of the season where they’re going through the motions so frustrating.

Ton of guys contributing, moving the ball, attacking the glass, smart rotations on defense, taking punches and staying in it. I just wish we saw this more from them. I legitimately think they could comfortably be a 60-win team if they approached every game like they do games like this.

itsnotyellowfever | MEM

They’re inconsistent as hell but they were the #1 defense in the league two years ago before the Thunder redefined how good a defense could be

They have one of the coldest shot makers in the league in Ant and even when he’s not on fire they have a sneaky stable of great, intense defenders led by McDaniels and Gobert. Getting Dosunmu only added to that group.

Schrodinger’s contender. Depending on the day, the general media somehow thinks:

Ant isn’t in the MVP conversation because his team is both too talented but also not winning enough
Rudy is both a DPOY candidate and unplayable
Julius is reliable but also inconsistent

Like I get that they’re frustrating to watch, but if you watch the Wolves against any playoff caliber team, they wake up and play.

Yea, because their owner is cheap, the only player they wouldn’t have been able to get is JV, who I like, but his foot speed is absolutely toast, so I’m not sure how much of a playoff contributor he’s gonna be

Bruce Brown and THJ are vet mins, the Nuggets would’ve been able to sign them just would’ve had to pay lux tax

So yea, great for Kroenke, less money out of his pockets, but it was a cost cutting move

Same as the recent McCain deal, which no one really applauds for cap flexibility lol

I’m still waiting for Ant to get that superstar whistle pretty much every other star gets. I think it’s largely due to him being too strong so he fights through contact most plays, that and he doesn’t flop.

That’s the thing - they had a better record with more starters out than they do since Jokic and Johnson came back.

There’s something WRONG with this team since Jokic came back, and I don’t think it’s just “missing shots.” They’re not playing winning basketball, and you can see that in their record and in the eye test. The vibes are terrible. They can’t stop a nosebleed in important situations, and show a general lack of belief in themselves. That’s coaching.

If I had to decide right now, I wouldn’t want Adelman back.

Vicentesteb | Timberwolves

15 | 7 hours ago

I think the biggest thing was the Nuggets essentially changed the way they played for those like 15 games Jokic was out, you had more switching, more running and tried to win more through defense. Its a big change to re-integrate someone like Jokic that plays in a specific style.

Raisinbrahms28 | Nuggets

9 | 7 hours ago

I think you’re being too nice to an NBA head coach. This league is about results. This team doesn’t have years to spend developing. And while I agree with you that re-integrating a player like Jokic isn’t plug and play, I think you and I would both agree it shouldn’t look like 4-8 since he came back from injury.

I think you, and reddit in general, places WAY too much on players. We’ve seen time and time again that good teams NEED to have good coaches that gets players to go the extra mile.

So while I understand you’re upset about how murray has played, he’s completely carried the team to this point. They look BAD. They look unhappy to be doing their jobs. That’s a motivation thing, and I do think it matters in the NBA. These guys need to believe in something, and right now I think they believe in nothing.

We liked him very much through the first half of the season, but he’s giving no reason to do so right now. Weird rotations. Icing out players who helped us through the hospital Nuggets stretch (Nnaji and Pickett, but also Strawther and others). He has no unique play designs out of time outs. They don’t run effective plays in sequence. Team looks disinterested and lazy. His huddle audio is… well it’s something.

It’s not looking good for him right now.

That’s because chasing around small guards is Jaden’s literal achille’s heel. He’s best either as a poa or in drop which is why I’d like for Donte and Ayo to be more on the ball defensively to give Jaden energy for the offense while also being able to play more of his best brand of defense

It’s so frustrating how Finch doesn’t seem to get that. Donte and Ayo are solid defenders - let them chase around guards.

-13 and 0 points as a starter does not do justice to how bad Cam Johnson was in this game. Sincerely hope it was just his ankle.

There’s a lot of great matchups in the West. But MIN/DEN is still one of the best. These competitive games have been goin on 4 years now.

For all the crap Rudy gets for Jokic’s big stats every time. People should realize by now, We let him eat. We shutdown the others.

Trading for Ayo, and Bones cementing himself as the back Up PG, has been a godsend to our bench. Naz was a no show for 3 Q. Normally that’s the end for the Wolves. But they are now able to hold out until Naz gets hot.

Jaden’s development on offense Might be the thing that puts us over. He just needs to be more assertive and look for it.

Donte is just a winning player.

Native Minnesotans rarely leave the state permanently, but there are a couple big exceptions:

Great W.

Nuggets without Watson and Gordon but can still be really scary to play against.

Ant had a weird game, made a lot of right plays down the stretch and hit a stupid 3 to keep the lead safe. McDaniels was amazing. Rudy Gobert was absolutely incredible.

The Inside NBA guys were getting onto to Rudy but its never about the 1v1 matchup with Jokic, its about defending Denver as a team, Rudy does that better than pretty much anyone else on the planet.

Best thing to do is hope AG and Watson comes back soon. Getting into any kind of clutch situation is a death sentence for this Nuggets team

IcyTie9

12 | 7 hours ago

AG and Pwat are really important to get a real 3rd option instead of cam, but i dont believe in this team unless adelman wakes the fuck up, cant be giving up 12-0 runs in 4 minutes every single game of the season, we know this lineup doesn’t work

FH261169 | Mavericks

AG and PW aren’t solving the mess they are in.

Hopsalong | Nuggets

11 | 7 hours ago

The mess they’re in is the bench being horrendous at the start of the 2nd and start of 4th against good teams. AG and PWat will immensely help that problem. The Nuggets were awesome with Jokic out there tonight, it’s just the non-Jokic minutes again when we’re -2 rotation guys.

Cam being a good player again is what will possibly have Denver better than last season. Them back will have them back to being a good team tho.

I’ve said it about Milwaukee and I’ll say it about Denver. Some NBA teams are just 1 time champions and that’s alright. Not every team has the makings of a dynasty and Denver’s probably one of them

raki016 | Timberwolves

Idk.

Denver two years out of their championship feels a lot closer to winning it again than Bucks ever had after their run. And Bucks are in the East

It’s funny but it feels like Giannis and Jokic’s career mirror each other to the point where Jokic = Giannis +2 years

FeanorEvades | Timberwolves

5 | 7 hours ago

I don’t think ANY team in the NBA right now is on the level of a dynasty. There hasn’t been a repeat winner since 2018. I don’t think Denver being a 7-game 2nd round exit twice in a row means that they aren’t legit contenders.

schoolhater12 | Raptors

8 | 7 hours ago

he does not understand momentum at all. He will rest jokic for extra 15 seconds-1 minute in the 2nd and 4th quarter throwing the entire lead and Jokic is out of rhythm by the time he is back too which leads to the momentum swinging even further

EarthWarping | NBA

6 | 7 hours ago

Yeah weird game from him

itsnotyellowfever | MEM

9 | 7 hours ago

He’s set in stone with his rotations until Watson and Gordon come back because even though every second Cam + Valanciunas are on the court these last two games have been an affront to the sport he keeps that no Jokic, no Murray lineup locked in

Tomorrow Adelman will be fired. Next year you probably won’t recognize anyone on the nuggets besides Jokic and like 55% sure on Murray. Nuggets just need a run of the mill coach with experience to do better than they currently are. Yeah MPJ and Malone were apart of the issues but what you got in return is far worse and doesn’t lead to any winning basketball. No reason to fire Malone just to hire one of his assistants at the end of the day.

Jokic decided he needed to remain eligible for postseason awards and isn’t the same guy not at 100%.

I know it will come as a shock for other fanbases that players tend to do worse when trying to play with injury but you need to lose your innocence at some point.

Two losses in a row where Jokic dominates his minutes but his team is just out there scratching their ass.

It just do be like that sometime. Hopefully Denver has a healthy playoffs because they just don’t look steady at the moment. Which is not all that surprising with their constant multiple injuries. Never healthy at the same time. No continuity.

donkeyinparadise | Nets

I love both teams so it’s always joy to watch this matchup (esp now Mike is off the Nuggets).

Wolves bench lineup of Naz Bones and Ayo is super fun. Donte is sooo good (I know his big triples probably overshadows it but boy is he a tough defender!). Rudy is still the best rim protector. Then you got Ant and Jaden. That’s a golden squad.

Remember a while back some fans were writing fanfics saying Finch was losing locker room and the team falling apart? Jfc that’s what Nuggets fans are saying now.

Gotta cop a Naz Reid jersey. So sexy. 😍

Not much to say about Nuggets lol. If anything you can’t take their regular season too seriously when they don’t themselves. Just a team built for playoffs and the most important thing is to stay healthy. Think Jokic’s touches are coming back tho?

Adelman continueing to rely on Cam + Val in the non-Jokic minutes is disaster. I think Cam should be playing less minutes and Val probably shouldnt be playing at all against elite teams. We saw Nnaji + Pickett play well with Jokic out so why not run that lineup in the non-jokic minutes?

massive non-jokic minutes problem today; the lineup at the beginning of the second quarter killed any momentum we had for the first half and so many of the role players and bench guys just couldn’t pull any weight. Even jamal was a problem, lazy on defense, cold in shooting, and bad ball handling when we needed him the most, just a rough showing.
