Tim Legler breaks down biggest threats to Nuggets in the West & a POWERFUL ZION DUNK 🏀 | Get Up

Minnesota Timberwolves and the Denver Nuggets now here’s what I love about Anthony Edwards he absolutely does everything legs he’s jumping with nicoa yic well we saw at dunk the other day yeah who else would be jumping Center if not Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards with a big finish here he’s making highlight

Dunk after highlight dunk and playing without Carl Anthony towns without Rudy Gober without Nas re virtually no centers on their roster except Luke Garza and Minnesota hun to leg talk to me about this Euro for the finish this is beautiful right here and this is where he has improved his game the

Patience to decelerate on drives the maturity and the Polish and the Finesse offensively he has added that this year you see right there he’s getting the crowd hype but here’s nicoa yogin the best player involved for three when Denver got serious in the fourth quarter it was just Precision after Precision

Every single possession Michael Porter Jr and joic with the kill shots Jaden Daniels I mean Jaden McDaniels dribbles into a three he hits it and now this is going to give Anthony erwards a chance to win the game got interesting here he catches it and catches it too far back

In the back court but still about four five dribbles elevates for a three clean look just hits front rim and you can see how disappointed he is he thought he had that one to go down legs there’s been uh there’s been a ton of talk that Anthony Edwards reminds people of Michael Jordan

He’s going to have to start hitting some of those shots if he ever wants that comparison to be a real thing but who’s the biggest threat to the nuggets in the west all right I don’t want this to be a copout answer but the truth of the

Matter is this it’s easier for me to say who isn’t like Lakers Warriors Suns and Kings those are the four teams I don’t think are making a run to the Conference Finals but all of those other teams absolutely are capable of beating each other so for me it’s lot of it’s going

To come down to who can avoid the Denver Nuggets bracket and you don’t know what that’s going to be because they could be one two or three so you don’t know where you need to finish to avoid that but there’s no question that Minnesota belongs in that category um particularly

When they get everybody back now Carl Anthony towns that’s a big if if they can get him back in time so that he has stamina he’s not on a minutes restriction and he’s ready to go close to 100% there is no doubt because of what Minnesota does defensively this is

A team that is going to be in every game because their defense gives them chances even on nights that they’re not making shots so I don’t mean to cop out and and not give a specific team but I’m telling you Ryan I could pull a name out of a

Hat right now and I can make an argument why each of those six teams can make it to the Conference Finals or lose in the first round that’s how tightly bunched together they are trying to get on the same plane as Denver right now I think they’re on a shelf by themselves yeah

That was going to be my question how much of not being able to pinpoint one team is how dominant you believe the Denver Nuggets could be in the playoffs they showed it again last night when they get serious in in the fourth quarter there’s no team in the league

You trust more to come up and get quality possessions and that’s exactly what they did Minnesota played tough in this game they took the lead in the fourth quarter Denver takes a timeout they come out of the timeout and it’s just one possession after another where it’s Michael Porter Jr it’s it’s joic

Making huge shots but it’s after they’ve run something to make sure that they get those shots and the fact that these guys went through it last year and won a title there is no situation that they are phased by the core continuity amongst their starters is as good or

Better than any team in the NBA and that’s why you still trust Denver more than anybody else when you get into those pressure situations I mean you have to trust Denver because we’ve seen them do it before but we got some eye candy with the Pelicans and you know who

I can trust a Zion Williamson that has lost 25 lbs you’re going to get a fast break here and nji Marshall is going to lob it up over his head talk about this finish leg oh good we well we’ve never seen somebody quite like this Elevate

Like this like in that in that package right that size 67 you know coming in at 265 270 once he’s slim down get off the floor like that we just never seen it right now look Zion doesn’t have as many of these moments as he did when he first

Came into but I think that’s a good thing because I think now he’s playing a different style of game that means I think he’s less susceptible to being injured but look this is this is what he gives us this is special and by the way the Pelicans are a team that’s also in

That mix of teams that can po tell you what listen I’m from New Orleans and all of the New Orleans fans are excited about the way Zion’s game is improving but also his health leg what’s big this year is he’s on the floor in some of these critical moments for the new New

Orleans Pelicans try what I love [Applause] [Applause] is
