  1. I like the way Edwards integrates the midrange and fadeaway in his game. Just the way MJ did. Its a good shot to master, and you'll hit it at better percentage than just jacking up a whole bunch of threes

  2. Wolves’ coach, please, in the beginning the Nuggets were helpless with the Defense (both Murray and Jokid were bothered), there is no need to go to your bench first! This is over rationalizing (even having a best bench). That gave the Nuggets the opportunity to breath and come back right away. Besides, if Ant is in Supernova mode, let him stay there, he would easily get 53 maybe even 60. Take him out only when he slows down a bit. He is taking over! I am so happy Reid finished strong, he could even stay more. KAT, very good, he just needs to refrain from silly fouls.

  3. Guys, please support by liking or commenting, it’s difficult in the region now. Also feel free if you have the opportunity to support the channel through, details in the description.

  4. As conclusions and prejudices are easily made here, a person falls to get up, after all, "the first kittens are thrown into the water", I deeply believe that Denver will start the machinery.

  5. The NBA key needs to be passed to Anthony Edwards from LeBron. Our era is done. 20 years from now we will be debating who the goat is between MJ, Bron, and AE. And it will be 1.Bron, 2.MJ, 3.AE.

  6. Anthony Edwards was on 🔥 early doors and could not be stoped Denver came back well just couldn't top the Minnesota Timberwolves to good for nuggets wovles lead 1-0
