Why did the Denver Nuggets suffer one of the greatest collapses in playoff history?
Denver Nuggets just completed one of the fucking greatest collapses I've ever seen in my life. I I I I I that second half, that whole second half, the third quarter specifically, I mean I don't have the stats. I honestly I'm gonna pull them up because it was fucking unbelievable. But there was a point in that game where they didn't they didn't make a field goal for for like eight minutes in a row. This is Listen, it's it's just crazy to me because when you look at a player like Jokic, this is a dude who's like gonna be like a top twenty player of all time. He's one of the most dominant offensive players that we've ever seen in this sport. Like and that's unquestionable. And for him to have a legacy defining moment like that where because last game was the worst playoff game of his career.
Rudy Gobert fucking ate his ass out for for the entire game. It was unbelievable. I've never s I And then in this game to bounce back and they have a solid first quarter, right? They outscored Minnesota. Anthony Edwards dies. Dante DiVincenzo dies. He may never fucking walk again. We don't know if Anthony Edwards is gonna come back in this series. Probably not. He's had this lingering knee problem, he's been playing through it. We don't we don't know. It's not looking good. And they get outplayed at every level and we'll get into the coaching in a second because I I I mean somewhere, somewhere Mike Malone just has his he's got his feet up, man. He's you know what?
How did Rudy Gobert dominate Jokic and impact the game’s outcome?
No toe reveal actually, you don't get that. But he's he's happy. He is an excited fucking man right now because David Adelman just fucking put dysentery over the entire court. I Outcoached is i isn't even a fucking beginning to talk about what happened in this game. So Look, uh hats off to Io Desumu, man. Hell of a game. What are you? Fucking an a a hyper efficient forty or something like that? Holy forty three points for Iodesuma, man. Jesus Christ. And i just looking at the stat sheet, imagine telling a Minnesota Timberwolves fan that Julius Randle had a very inefficient fifteen points and m uh fucking I who who else even s who else even broke ten? Like any any I mean Just looking at the Looking at the fucking stat sheet.
Jaden McDaniels has 10 points, goes three for ten. Doesn't make a three. Uh Nas Reed, one for five from three. And and you win the game in convincing fashion. You win it by almost twenty points. I can't believe it, man. I can't believe it. I mean The fact that Zeke Najee never played and Tim Hardaway Jr. Man.
What coaching decisions by Mike Malone and David Adelman contributed to the Nuggets’ loss?
Listen, you won't find a bigger Tim fan than myself. But the fact that he was in the game with four minutes left, I just I I didn't have an explanation. He went three for ten from the field, oh for six from three. O for six, and that last time that he fucking takes a shot holy shit, dude, I still have the game on right now. There there's a huge ass fight. Oh what is going on? God damn it I mean it's over er i it's it's there's one point three seconds left. I've Holy fuck dude. I mean they have every right to fight, dude. The the Timberwolves are just giving em work. Absolute work. It's crazy. I mean, most a lot of people at the Nuggets going to the finals winning the championship this year. And they get outplayed by a team missing their top two guards.
Nikoliokich, eight for twenty two from the field. O for three from three. Outplayed by Rudy Gobert. Again. Again, and it it it's just so interesting because What I kept saying to myself is that like of course I want to give credit to Minnesota and the um Finch and the entire coaching staff. But it's not like Minnesota's doing anything fucking like out of the ordinary. They're not like like what was what was cool about that Thunder series in in game seven of last year, Nuggets Thunder, was i in um the final again, game seven, they decided to put Alex Caruso on Nicole Jokic on a majority of plays and it threw off everything for the Nuggets. That was fucking impressive and an extremely creative way to neutralize the best player in the world.
Rudy Gobert isn't they're not doing anything crazy.
