Well the Wolves have put a lot of pressure on the guards for Denver.


Yeah, really impressed with how active our defense has been...both hands and feet.

Monster, in that halftime jousting contest, were you Jared or Corbin?

Anybody else watching the feed?

I used to hate it when the Wolves would unnecessarily double a post player, only to leave a great shooter wide open for a 3. You always give up a contested interior turnaround or jump hook as the tradeoff for denying the open 3 (unless the shooter is someone like Tony Allen, Rondo, etc.).

Don't have access to the game, but I think I called him a sloth before the draft. :)

Yeah, I'm actually pleased with Thibs' aggressive approach on the perimeter. I think the issue tonight is that Jokic seems much more inspired than KAT...he had his way with him in the first quarter.

Jokic is the best player no one has heard of (at least most casual fans haven't, which most of us aren't, but you get my point). The scary part is that he came over from Europe quite young, so there is still some serious upside left to his game.

That dude could have arguably received a few votes for ROY last year. Seriously, he is really, really good. The Nuggets found themselves a real gem.

Yes they did. Very grabby on defense tonight though...fouled out two minutes into the second half!

Yep Jokic was giving Towns plenty of resistance. With him sitting this game feels basically over.

Love the way we are pushing tempo tonight. One of my fears appears to be irrational
