They still have good defenders.

But I think that Denver is no longer deficient in the toughness category against the Timberwolves.

They are tough.

I don't think Denver's going to out-tough Minnesota.

I want Denver turned up.

They're 12 win game win streak.

And I want them to go into a rivalry right off the bat.

Because if you come out of that one, especially early in the series, you know what you're ready for?

The real tough matchups that are to follow.

We got to take our last break on the other side.
