Jaden Mcdaniels on the Timberwolves gameplan vs Nuggets : “Just go at them, they are all bad defenders”
Bro looking like a Sith lord
Dude gives off actually scary vibes.
Emotionless face who gets ragebaited or rage baits. Dangerous in the real world š¤£
These types are the real S tier threats
Ive read that he quietly talks shit nonstop lol.
He gives off dumb guy with very limited emotional range vibes.
Heās got a temper that flares up seemingly out of nowhere. Sometimes his fuck-you attitude is an advantage in a game but other times he punches a wall out of frustration and takes himself out of a playoff series.
My homie lived with the whole uw basketball team one year. Said Jaden never really hung out with beef stew and the rest of the team. Prolly cuz he was in training to take over for his master haha. Rule of 2
He doesnāt hang out with his coworkers? Man after my own heart
āDid you ever hear the tragedy of they have KD but we have Jaden McDaniels? Itās not a story the Jedi would tell youā
Manās got hate in his heart for so many guys in the league lol
But a special little bit of hate for Booker.
That one’s understandable.
It’d be faster to list the players he likes.
Naz Reid
Anthony Edwards
Joe Ingles
That’s the list
Fear leads to hate, hate leads to anger, anger leads to suffering. Clouded the boy’s future is, very clouded indeed
This guy might be most angry, psychotic dude in the league. He is just always mad and looking for beef š
he deliberately broke his own hand š
If you watched that he didnāt realize it was a wall. There was a black tarp over it that it seems like he thought didnāt have anything behind it.
In high school my friendās first car was this extremely cheap, terrible beater. We, being dumb kids, used to drive it into/through stuff, like the pile of discarded, garbage ice behind the ice skating rink.
One time we were driving it through big garbage bags of styrofoam that the movie theater put all over their garbage area for whatever reason, but one bag ended up being cinder blocks.
We were so lucky we were just driving very slow parking lot speeds. We never did that kind of thing again, and ever since I always look before I leap.
He did not deliberately break his own hand. He punched what he thought was just a cloth banner not knowing there was concrete directly behind it.
I mean the hand probably deserved it smh
Dude has severe anger problems, he is dead behind the eyes
Foot to knee contact is usually the reason why he is so pissed. Refs do him dirty non stop. He also hates floppers
Always root for guys like this, hard fouling all the floppers. I still remember he fouled SGA hard at the end of the game because he still has fouls to give. No chance of winning, just pure rage
There was one play in the last years WCF you could tell Jaden was OVER Shais shit and basically checked his ass to the floorĀ
Damn donāt give them fuel Jaden
fuck that i love it. itās the playoffs, talk shit..make it fun.
everyone wants old school trash talk mindsets until it happens
Right? Denver sub is losing their minds over it. They are in disbelief that a player would speak their mind after a heated game lol
Thatās normal. If Jokic came out and said Gobert is useless and a liability in the playoffs, the Timberwolves sub would lose their minds too.
NBA playoff series on Reddit are designed to make fan bases hate each other. Itās fun when the teams seem to follow suit.
It’s all sports on reddit. And it’s 100% based purely on recency. Reading the Wild PGTs versus the Wolves PGTs is hilarious.
Wolves threads are all “Huge W for MN, pivotal win, Nuggets can’t play defense lmao” and full of comments needling Nuggets fans. Wild threads are “Shitty Wild let a golden opportunity slip through, fucking thug team can’t play real hockey” with fans just shitting on the Wild for a dumb penalty with a million “Quitt Hughes” comments.
Both series are 1-1 lol
1-1 with both stealing a game on the road too lol
Yeah itās objectively a good outcome for both teams to start their series, but Redditors are completely incapable of thinking about anything but the most recent game they saw
Except wolves fans actually have heard Gobert slander from players, fans, media, etc for like 4 straight years lol
Iām sure Nuggets fans havenāt heard at all how bad Jokic and Murray are on defense, McDaniels came up with that observation all by himself.
They’re just mad cuz he’s right
Lmao let me go see
They do tend to go doom and gloom mode a lot.
the man just has genuine hate in his heart he needs to let out. how denver players take it is none of his concern
Also what fuel? They literally have zero rim protection that shit is not getting fixed with Jokic at the 5
This comment isn’t going to all of a sudden make Jokic or Murray better defenders, or magically heal Aaron Gordon’s hamstring
i meanā¦ it might
Jokic going to take off the fat suit and reveal heās got Wemby level defense
From what I saw last night, no lies were told by McDaniels here
If youāre a coach and know your team does well pissed off, just have this on one screen and film on the other. Play the clip every time someone gets beat.
Yep play this over and over until playoffs are over
It’s the playoffs, if they need extrinsic motivation from shit talk then there’s already a big issue.
Lol I feel this but Jaden is such a troll he just doesnāt even care. Could definitely end up looking bad later on though.
That just makes it better though. Talking shit when you’re up is easy.
This is giving me Antās āI got Kyrieā vibes and then getting thoroughly dicked down by Kyrie.
Completely ignoring any and all context around that quote but sure man
Minny should be extremely confident they beat them in the last series and matchup perfectly denver only beat them in 23 when they were injured
Thats scary talk
Uh oh.
The nerds already got their calculations, calculators, and XYZ stats ready to explain how he’s wrong and they’re not all bad defenders.
Itās actually good if you get blown past cause then you get back to offense quicker and donāt give up a foul in the process
lol
An excellent example of how defense turns into offense.
In fact, just send one guy back to lob the inbounds pass after they scoreĀ
Jokic distributes the ball so well, he keeps his teammates engaged and that makes them better defenders, so actually he is the team’s best defender. This is a new stat I call the Defensive Interest Correlation Key rating.
Big DICK rating energy
It is only a matter of time before Jokic uses his defensive box plus minus to swat all of the Wolvesā shots away. Heās just lulling them into a false sense of security by not defending the rim
Idk if you know this but Jokic has some seasons with insane DBPM and it’s better than the best Hakeem years, clearly he is an elite defender and better than Hakeem ever was.
he passed david robinson for #1 in all time dpbm this season. probably unrelated: that stat factors in offensive assists
I think Aaron Gordon is a pretty decent defender
He is but isn’t enough to make up for the rest of the team.
No they are all bad defenders, including Cam Johnson and Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun.
McDaniels getting blocked multiple times last night, he actually did it on purpose because he felt bad for how much he was abusing them.
He abused them so much, he shot 7⁄15 on purpose to make Nuggets players feel better about themselves.
iād say heās better than decent. heās just got a bum leg unfortunatelyĀ
that + watson out is tough for denver
Heās right. At least heās right about how we played last night.
Nah man you dont understand, Jokic has the highest +/-TSFPS% of all time. It may look like they’re bad defenders but looking at the stats his defense is actually better than 2016 Finals LeBron.
Donāt think itās nerdy to say you have to win the series if youāre talking like this after winning a game lol
As a Spurs fan, I know I should be super excited and invested in our own series vs the Blazers… Wemby play off debut, etc… but I can’t help it, I am just completely captivated by the Wolves/Nuggets match up right now. Once again, I did not think Minnesota had much chances… and they’ll find a way to make it interesting. Ants/Jokic are my two favorite non-Spurs superstars and the tension between these two teams is just something else. Just feed me some more drama!
Minnesota is a piece a way from winning a championship. Iām not sure what the best piece they could get is, maybe a ball distributing defender, but they need at least one more piece that the FO is not giving them. Hard to see them play with so much heart but still not being able to believe in their championship aspirations
I was surprised not to see more love for McDaniels in the game thread. Rudy deserves his flowers, but Jaden was taking it to the rim again and again, just abusing them, and unlike a lot of guys on this team he has soft hands and doesn’t seem to miss once he gets in close.
He had 14 points he wasnāt abusing anyone.
I love hyperboles like this. He was abusing them, taking it to the rim again and again. Checks his stats, 7⁄15. Alright bro.
He is a good player, he played solid last night, but he literally got blocked like 2⁄3 times at the rim. Itās also literally Jaden McDaniels.
Rudy Gobert last night should be the case study of āstats arenāt everything.ā His stats and +/- were abysmal, but he completely locked down Jokic. He was our most impactful player last night
Itās always wild to me that these box score watchers will go into threads and comment about playerās impact on a game they didnāt even watch
We are talking about shooting bro.
Gobertās +- is bad because they were down ~15 in first quarter with him on court, came back without him and then he kept them afloat and close by slowing down Jokic.
Over here…Stranger
LMAO thatās my favorite game of all time
WHATREYABOIYIN…
NOT ENUFF CASH…STRANGAH…
WHATREYASELLIN…
HEH HEH HEH…THANK YOU…
GOT SOMETHIN THAT MOIGHT INCHREST YE…
Jaden McMerchant
Iāll buy it at a high price
Actually according to VROP, LEBRON, TS and Win Shares, Jokic is the best defender of all time
THANK YOU, BEEN SAYING THIS SHIT THEY CANT FUCKING GUARE THE PAINT
Iight but Aaron Gordon got clamps
Unfortunately, he’s the only defender the Nuggets have. Everyone else should be food against this Wolves team if they don’t settle and stay aggressive. No one thought they stood a chance vs Denver, but I see holes on this Denver team that makes them vulnerable.
The Nuggets already had reason to to take a real hard look at the defense they played in that game. This comment will be discussed, no doubt, but hopefully they already would have been feeling challenged to step up better on defense.
But also–it sure would be nice to have Payton Watson available. Overall Denver is less hampered by injuries than the Wolves at this point, but Watson would help.
Iāve always said this. Itās a fatal flaw if your 7 foot center cannot protect the rim
The only exception is when that 7 foot center is also arguably the best offensive player of all time.
Heās generational on that end. But Iām personally not okay with trading buckets
And yet the nuggets won a championshipā¦
Running through an easy gauntlet ^
So then you can win a championship that way?
That easy gauntlet take has always been stupid, both the Lakers and the Suns were teams that revamped at the trade deadlinevitably and thus were on great win paces post-deadline, but didn’t have great overall records.
That Booker-KD-CP3 Suns team was GOOD.
i hear you but i just wanna shit on my rival team lmao
Weāll need more than one to match the way people talk about this generational but one dimensional superstar.
The league was extremely weak back then. There was no teams like the Thunder or Spurs or even Wolves
Heās fighting every urge to release a shit eating grin
Itās Jaden heās smiled like 3 times in his nba career
bro does NOT know who Jaden McDaniels is
For real
I saw him smile once when talking about his newborn baby. I think thatās the only time Iāve seen him make any kind of expression.Ā
I remember this random exchange from years ago, just because of how uncommon it is.
https://streamable.com/s7pgag
No he isnāt. Yāall donāt know this guy.
You’ve literally never seen this man if that’s what you think.
I thought we were overreacting and saying MIN had no chance after G1? I swear itās like yall have never experienced a 7 game seriesĀ
Wish more guys were like him in the league
Darth Unbothered
Nuggets game plan is to have their offence overcome their lack of defence. AG is pulling a lot of weight on that side.
Goooooooooood…..let the hate flow through you!
Love him lol. Happy he and Ant are teammates/besties.
I love the playoffs man
I love him
Spicy I hope we can back it up lol
Jokic triple-triple game 3
Talk your shit, Especially when you arenāt wrong
Hopefully this inspires the Nuggets to play better defensešæ
See you in minny.. donāt punch a wall when you get your shit pushed in
Is he wrong?
My guy really got Nuggets fans all up in their feelings š¤£š¤£
Heās not wrong. Our defense is garbage
Just going to motivate Nuggets even more nowĀ
Itās true. Jokic and Murray carry a lot of the offensive load so Iām more forgiving with theirs. When youāre a bad defender and struggle to get to 10 points is the real problem. The defense has gotten worse as the team aged and racked up injuries.
While I love the energy, dude is averaging 15 points talking like this
Which is pretty damn good because heās a good defender, the other half of the game, which is often overlooked. Iām not a fan of his and donāt like his comments in the clip, but he had a great year.
Bro lookin like Malice
Resident Evil Merchant McDaniels
Love it. Let’s see how this bulletin board material plays out next game lol
Looking like Sith Lord Kermit meme lol
They just hoopin lol
Reminder that this brother and Beef Stew were on the same team in college, straight demons. Didnāt make tourney btw
This is like the Tyler Herro - Darius Garland feud last playoffs only dude just laid down the gauntlet on a whole team, I love it.
Love Jaden.
But the wolves talked so much shit after this one win..
T Wolves still have up 114 points yeah great defense lol
Ok Derp Dealer, ok
T Wolves gonna choke like they always do because Minnesota is a frozen hellhole
Yeahhhh whatās Denverās offensive rating again
(Itās 122.6)
21st just above The Chicago Bulls š
Thatās defense
Denver has the number 1 ranked offense
Jokic has the flu, just wait till the little wolves choke the next two games at home.
Lol OOOK. Ant has one knee. We are still going to blow by your defense.
Where is any evidence Jokic has the flu?
No one in the nba plays defense. Twolves have given up 230 points through 2 games. Iām tired of people trying to talk about defense in todayās NBA.
That’s kinda the point he’s making though. He’s saying that his team can hang with Denver because they can’t defend at all. Minnesota is probably thinking they can get more stops than Denver down the stretch in close games.
Uhhhā¦this is just objectively not true
I mean Aaron Gordon is good but otherwise it’s pretty true lol
It is though. Gordon historically was a really good defender, but in his current state with the hamstring injury he’s a negative
Big talk for a guy whoās never won shit.
See you on Thursday homie
He hasnāt won anything as a whole but he has won against this opponent.
For the record I donāt like this. I love when other teams do it though lol
Can confirm, I love this shittalk as a fan but would get anxious if it were my own team doing it
Thatās fair. I actually like that the wolves are the team that chirps and not us.
Your fanbase makes up for it.
Every fanbase chirps. Thatās all fans can do
Youāll be on the court?
Lol cute. You guys haven’t beat them yet though.
We beat them in 2023 bro wym?
Oh yeah my bad on that.
They didnāt beat Jaden though. Him and Naz were out that series
Tell him why Jaden was out though
DNP - lack of self control and anger management issues
