NAW was in lockdown mode. I’m going to use his highlights to show the kids I coach how to put the clamps on someone. Watch his arms. Up and out, not in. A thing of beauty.

Slo-Mo sort of quietly played huge. Held his own defensively, was active on the boards, put in solid extended minutes.
I’ve watched a LOT of basketball over the years and I’ve never seen a defensive domination like we witnessed last night. No Rudy. Jaden in foul trouble. And the whole damn team just brought it.

Murray got bullied god damn

I still can’t get over what we were witness to last night. Just bonkers. Complete defensive domination. I didn’t know that’s what defense COULD look like…it makes you realize how lazy & lackadaisy the league has become because “bUT sTEpH MAdE sO maNY THReEs mE NEeD TO TOO”

This defense isn’t sustainable when the refs calls soft fouls. If the refs had officiated like this during the regular season, the wolves would have won 60-65 games.

Foul on Murray before he even entered the straight jacket
I wonder if it wasn’t in some ways a message to Gobert. “Go be with your wife and new baby, we got this.”

Still feels like an absolute dream that we really did that to the champs at their crib

I barely watch basketball ever so I feel inexperienced to say much but that defense last night looked like a pack of wolves!

It’s funny how accustomed people have gotten to the no defense NBA of the past 10 to 15 years. The amount of “Nuggets can’t do anything, but the Timberwolves can commit murder” type of comments I kept seeing was astounding.

Bro NAW was smiling like a psychopath picking up Jamal Murray on defense

Barkley said last night this is the best defense he’s ever seen.

What’s the stat on most shot clock violations in a playoff game? The one where Jokic didn’t even know the clock ran out was beautiful.

The refs will revert next game and call every single thing. Mark my words.

The early 90s Bulls played defense like this. The architect was asst coach Johnny Bach. That’s who I felt I was watching last night.

Between Jaden and NAW it’s like 14’ of arms surrounding you.

Murray was getting eaten alive out there and you can tell it totally got in his psyche.

Towards the end of the game they started showing close ups of NAW’s face while he was guarding Murray. Bro was SMILING while he was charging through screens, locking down the perimeter, and draining 3s from the corner. Love the vibes. Love this team

The funny thing is the same shit would be going down if Murray was 100% healthy.

As a kid, I LOVED the bad boy Pistons. And holy shit, last night it reminded me of them just without the cheap shots

Was like watching a different sport. Felt like even the announcers were confused. Dudes actually going all in.
Wop wop wop
I think those 2 are the scariest 2 dudes in the league to get trapped by.
Wolves had him in a straightjacket.

Seriously was a clinic.
