it's like im watching late 90s and 2000s basketball. the grit on defense is insane and looks more entertaining than watching both teams doing 3 point shootouts. alexander smiling while defending murray is so damn refreshing. pride on their defense!

Ironically enough, the only way you can break this defense is by chucking threes beyond the arc like Steph Curry. Doesn't matter how good your team's defense is as long as you keep making them contested quick-release threes, the defense is bound to break.

If I average at least 15 points a game and will only average 7 if I play both ways? But the only thing the fans demand are the 15 points? And you are going to pay me 10 million for playing less than 70 percent of 82 games? What will I do? Clue averaging 7 is out of the question. Look at the Bucks. Those bone heads, after winning a chip, traded D for offense. They sent the whole of their Defense to defend in Boston. The Buck's Defense is still playing. The Bucks new offense has gone fishing. That's what happens when a GM listens to people who only watch the movement of the ball.

Active hands all around, no easy baskets, players underestimate how impactful even just attempting to block or putting a hand up to someone shooting is. It changes the shot and bothers the shooter. At times even if the wolves players got beat they still put a hand up and it changes the shot which also gives time for help to come. This is amazing

A good defense is beautiful. 3:25 Murray cuts in, tries to find separation, gets nothing out of Naz. Murray still makes the jump, mid-air feints, Naz fails the first block attempt, then adapts and blocks.

Watching that second quarter as a Wolves fan had my Jaw dropped for a whole 10 minutes and the entire half time break. This is one of if not the greatest show of defense in the history of organized basketball. Props to the coach for his genius conditioning and prep for the game as well as to the team of hungry men who want to win it all.

Not every team can do this. They even took a huge gamble playing so hard in the 2nd quarter because even the coach said they were gassing in the 2nd half. We all could see them in the third making some errors they don't usually make because of fatigue. It paid off though and if they can sweep they'll get a nice rest. In short, no. It's like the Pistons in 2004 didn't change that much except it started the big 3 wave.

​@04mzwach true. However, they were the number 1 defense throughout the season without exerting as much energy as this game so it could possibly influence that sort of defensive priority to come back into the fold. Making teams focus on strong defense that "can" be called into overdrive if needed.

You funny. Gsw built their dinasty also on their defense. They changed the game because they proof a team can win without a big man. Both on the offense and defense. And you can see that, without a good defense they can t even reach the playoffs since 3 years. Despite they still have steph klay and dg. 2 of them the best 3 point shooter of all time by far. As always nobody give enough credit to defense and how it is crucial to have a chance to win a championship

It is not about “can’t jump”, it is about the others losing threat. How TF are you going to win if your guys shoot 2/23 from three excluding Gordon and Holiday, and your Point Guard broke the leg and cannot even holds the ball? It is just simple- if your teammates are bricking all the time, they clamp on you solely, and you eventually miss
