How do you build a team to stop Joker?

Draft Wemby, probably.

It’s so hard to remember the lesson even though we are constantly reminded. Don’t overreact to single game samples.

How are these possibly the same two teams from game 2? Where’s the suffocating defense? Just so many little things happening that I don’t even notice but makes the games look completely different.

But Denver is the better opponent to beat Boston. I’m glad the Wolves made them flip the switch. Shame this series isn’t the WCF. Hope they don’t lose steam while dusting the Mavs or Thunder in a laugher.

Yeah i think we can soon forget about the Kareem/Russell/Shaq/Dream argument about who's the GOAT at center spot. We are witnessing a true legend in the making.

Gobert has no chance against jokic 1 on 1. And I get it, no one has a chance against him 1 on 1 but I expect the best defensive player in the league to be able to stop him once in a while

You saw Anthony Davis guarding him last year, right?

Truthfully, I think Denver is going to sleepwalk to a title after this series.

Wouldn't be surprised if they win the conference finals and NBA finals in 5 games or less each.

Why is Mike Malone complaining? Jokic leads with his arms on every post up

When Ainge picks Zach Edey we'll be defending this post-up move.

Excatly, Minny win the first 2 because their energy was fantastic and they harrass Joker and Murray so hard that they were totally out of gas after 30 min. But you can't maqintain the same intensity all games specially when you down physically, as is Mike, KAT or Rudy. Just need too much energy. Denver is just a better team. Hope game 6 is fun and hope Denver win it against this year. Jokic is so good.

I hope all you Minnesota fans are grieving right now. Serves y’all right.

Yes absolutely. Minny got ANT, future MVP, many youngs talented players, a 4 time DPOY player, a good PG... so many reasons for grieving right now .

 

[The Midnight]

Let the collapse of Minnesota begin… and we’re reaping all the benefits.

Excellent.

I feel bad for Rudy and Conley, does that count? Should I harm myself? Will that make you feel fulfilled in your schadenfreude?

 

[HermanG]

If Minny loses game 6 then the last game Minny won this season which was probably one of the best games they have ever played in their franchise history was Game 2.... a game that Gobert missed.

And this is not to put their last 3 losses on Rudy, but it will certainly be a narrative that the media use to throw fuel on the fire. It will be even worse, if Jokic has a massive game 6 performance.

Yep. Exactly. I think gobert is in an entirely different league than Davis defensively. I probably overrate gobert. I was shocked by how easily jokic dominated a guy who I think of as the best defensive player of all time.
