I don't know if anybody can stop this offense.
And I think Nikoli Okic, if history is a guide, is going to get his.
If history is a guide, then I have for the biggest X factor here is Jamal Murray versus Jaden McDaniels.
So to me...
The answer here is Jaden McDaniels levels up and is able, and we've seen this before, to give Jamal Murray fits.
And then it puts more offensive burden on the edge for Denver.
And the last thing I'll say is I think they played each other in March and
Aaron Gordon didn't play, but it was pretty healthy teams except for Aaron Gordon.
And I think it was 32-6, to your point, in transition.
So if Minnesota can get going on offense and start getting early offense against this team, particularly before Jokic can get back down the court, and we have our attacking athletic wings, everybody from Randall to McDaniels, and obviously the Ant-Man,
attacking the teeth of the defense before it's set I think there's a path for Minnesota to keep up with Denver so those are my two big things they have to be great in transition like they were in that March game and then they have to use Jaden McDaniels he has to be effective to see a lesser version of Jamal Murray because you're exactly right in a world where Joker and Murray are both
going full speed, this team is unstoppable.
So nobody's stopping Joker, but can Jaden McDaniels slow down Jamal Murray?
That's a question for me.
Yeah.
I think I made my choice for the content.
I'm not going to show my cards, but I'll stick with it.
I'll stick with it.
I think Nicole Jokic is the best player in the series, but I wouldn't want to be the person to tell Anthony Edwards that.
So I think Anthony Edwards would take a lot of pride in going in Denver and stealing game one or game two, right?
