They only avoided fouling because the NBA has decided they need ANT to replace LBJ as the face on the league so they have told the refs to let them play incredibly aggressive and physical defense and don’t call any fouls. They forgot to tell the refs that they have to let that play go on both ends of the court so it isn’t so obvious what is going on! 🤣🤣🤣
this is how many players will look if they allow physicality, look at denver players crying lol. This is the basketball we miss where it was hard to score 100 points.
The crying for fouls, the mental meltdowns, including the coach, on top of the losing two at home is shocking. It's certainly not the look of a champion. It's shocking at how easily they were broken down, and how fragile they are mentally; they became completely unhinged under pressure. Their quick and easy defeat of a weak Lakers team has set them up for failure; not ready for prime time.
The insane thing is that an ultra solid defense like this should be very tiring, reducing the juice for the attack, yet Timberwolves were still relentless throughout.
The Nuggets are just to use to playing teams with superstars that don’t play defense. They got so many free baskets from LeBron either driving to the basket because he won’t help or passing to an open Gordan right behind him. I am glad the Timberwolves are showing the league what team defense can do.
I will say watching the games – the referees have allowed the Wolves more physicality than they have allowed the nuggets. There isn’t necessarily a discrepancy in the number of calls but the type of calls. They are calling basic hand checks on KCP while allowing Alexander Walker to ride Murray up the court with his body.

Bad Boys of Detroit

Wolves shitting on the nuggets like this is crazy
Never seen a defense like this since the 04 Pistons. Minnesota Timberwolves is a serious contender this season.

I guess Nuggets wants to go to Taylor ‘Sweep’ concert😂😂😂😂
1990 came back and said enough is enough.
Twolves in 16.
6 down 10 to go.

I feel like the wolves will lose maybe one, and then go on a ten game streak to close it out for the chip.
My pants are still sticky from that Naz Reed block on the Laker's daddy.
Jokic is trash!!!! Overrated I’m glad wolves exposing him
Nuggets looking like the lakers
Kids, that is how playoff teams played defense in the 90s… now you know how your "super stars" would have done in the 90s😂
why mentally? They seemed to be playing like they normally do, but just got stuffed defensively – nothing mental about it
That wasn't "avoiding the call" defense, that was the refs decided not to blow the whistle … miss me with that shit

Jamal found out this ain't DLO, Reaves, TP, and Gabe Vincent perimeter defense 🤣. Welcome to prison buddy via ANT, Jaden, NAW even NAZ.
I am pleased the refs let them play. Normally the corrupt refs don’t allow so much contact on this era
I will see what OKC has to say about that in the conference finals
Wow I have never seen a defense play like this it’s a class act defense I love it 👍

Adam silvers worst nightmare. a high defense team w a non woke alpha male
Someone tell me this isn’t the 04 Pistons
High level defense like this is so entertaining! especially offset against a league that has become increasingly offense focused
5:35 what did he miss💀💀💀
wolves back
This ass whoopin And Rudy Gobert didnt even play. Wow
Playing fizikal- must bee fauls!!!!! But nba wants edwards in finals
They weren’t allowed to be themselves that two man game locked up lol
People don't understand. This is a young and complete team. Young legs out there
Mavs in 6
Denver is overrated, Jokic looks average, and they're about to get swept.
