Man I’ve been watching this channel, DNVR, and ALL-CITY and Adam mares rocks. Such great insight, not a FULL homer but has great knowledge abt the game. Love it

Murray not getting ball back to Joker often enough in two man game. Murray being so slow getting upcourt and overdribbling. Murray taking more shots than Jokic should never happen.

As Nuggets fans, Adam is our therapist. Also, I hope Matt is doing ok. He seemed a little down last episode.

Thank you for going through pain of rewatching that game :)

Now that is basketball analysis! Awesome job, Adam. You’re the best.

bro this dude is in every podcast

I'm not really worried. We have so many things pointing in our favour. We have been there, so we have the experience. We already went all the way last year. We are the ones getting to make the last adjustments. 84% of teams win the series aftee being up 3-2. One big reason for that is getting to make the last move, to adjust to last game. We have a 3 day rest. We know what happened in game 3. We have home court. We have a great record in game 7's. And last of all, we have Jokic.

Wolves fan here, so not familiar with the channel, but i think your analysis is great. Your take on the officiating is spot on. Those early touch fouls have been taking the teeth out of our defense off and on all year. Like Ant said to KAT, "you foul, we lose"

Adam maybe the 2nd or 3rd LON I’ve watched and you’re absolutely incredible at this man. Huge props.

Your analysis are spot on u always say it as is 👌🏾

Totally right about the momentum thing. Every stop that leads to a score feels like a huge swing. Wild series

Yeah all season Murray has not been dependable and injury prone. He has been very disappointing. I think he needs to work on his conditioning and mind on this off season.

Coming from a Spurs fan, Great show 🤙🏾

I think we need to know Murray’s year round physical regimen. He starts every season slow and tired, then he gets injured. Jokic’s workout ethic is well known, and it’s why the dude can play 42 minutes, and still sprint the floor. No dynasty functions with 5/8 of a point guard. Regardless of what happens this season, Booth and ownership are responsible for for giving Jokic a legit line up. Point guard deficiencies were obvious to casual observers since October, so they’ve had time to make a plan, haven’t they?🙃

This was actually pretty helpful / clarifying. My bball jargon isn't quite up to your explanation, but what you described in 1st Q was def what I saw.

Jokic continues to come into each season out of shape which highlights his immaturity. It's the same cycle with him, come in out of shape, ramp up, play back to backs, get hurt. Restart cycle again

The reason he stood....his disappointment with Murray and MPJ for losing the game for the TEAM yet again....even nice guys have limits and this has been brewing for awhile.

Good analyses.

You were def right about hitting the under (201.5) when you said “If I were predicting a final score I would predict 101-95 or 95-89.” 98-90 right inbetween that. Still can’t believe how invisible AG/MPJ/KCP were. 21 points in 150 mins outside of Jokic Murray 69 points on horrific shooting I didn’t see coming. 3-20 from 3 after Murray 3 to put them up 20 in the 3rd was was death. Even if that’s a still bad to mid 6-20 or 7-20 they win easy. Honestly the biggest difference in 2024 nuggets was Jokic/Murray before this year were BOTH 40+% from 3 in playoffs for their career and this year were both a BAD 26.4% Jok & 31.5% Murray. You can argue they were due for bad 3P% run law of averages wise, but that was a big part of why they found themselves down in so many games this year. They were down 9-22 points in 5/5 playoff games vs Lakers and fortunate that series didn’t go 6 or 7 (lakers shot 28% from 3 outside of LeBron 39% and many of those were wide open 3s). They def missed Bruce Brown’s toughness, energy, ball handling, zero F’s given attitude off the bench too.

3 days rest is a huge advantage for Denver

Jokic was 11-28 vs gobert before game 5 so I wouldn’t say he struggled but I assume a lot of it was connected to double teams as well

Whoever wins this game 7 will win the championship

This game could go either way more of a hockey but enjoying this series, I think the game will be close give the nod to the home team but being from Minnesota like to see the wolves. This is not a homer he does a good job

your good man ....

Hope yall win. Dallas will be waiting 😎

Nice work Adam!.....quick question...does Murray leverage access journalism, I have noticed signs of it since he snapped at Ryan during a postgame a couple months back. I understand this may be difficult to answer so feel free to skip.

There is something lacking with this team. How can you be mad/upset if we lose? Losing by 45 would have been unacceptable even if Jokic, Murray, and Gordon didn't play.

The truth is Dwnver is 1 game awah from playing in the confidence championship and have done ao with MPJ being a no show for this series and Murray sucking ass fhis entire post season.

I didn't see the first quarter, but I wonder whether Denver called any time outs during Minnesota's early run.

I thought Denver came out cold, and despite that, kept settling for way too many 3s.

Why don’t you show any video of the game while you were talking about it?

I'm going over on mpj points.

If i am Jokic i would not sit down with these Looers on my own Bench, and i would say to Mr Kroenke you better have these Lossers out by the Start of the next Season

Just go win the freaking game 7. F the x and o’s. Do you want it or not. Got damn!

MPJ lack of IQ is killing this team

It seems like Murry root of lot of problem... It is hard to understand Murry the way he plays. He has problem mentally

Murray always jogging around....he gets tired and starts grabbing his shorts 5 min into game.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh Im so f'ing nervous 😖😖😖

That was an a$$ whooping

jamal vs Bruce Brown Jr. :D

Win or lose a championship consider trading Jamal (and MPJ) or making him a banch player and trade for an all star lvl player like Luka or Brunson to help a team..This kid is 25 and he plays like he is 35 injury prone delusional selfish egocentric he have a heart but he is stuck in his head that he is a batman when he is just bench player on other teams..

MPJ just soft...he has a 30% chance of getting a 50/50 ball.

Game 6 Jokic stopped setting screens for Murray. Game 6 Nuggets stopped cutting to basket when Jokic was double teamed. Murray had 10 points. Jokic shoot 4 3's (to many). Fix all that and the Nuggets win game 7.

Nuggets in 7

This team has to be blown up and rebuilt.

There is one thing you are absolutely, 100% wrong about and I think you know it given how detailed and accurate your breakdown was. Jokic does not have a shot at doing to KAT what he does to Gobert. This isn't DND, he's not going to magically gain a +10 strength buff in 2 days. The only person who is going to beat KAT is KAT. After the 1st round, Ant said he told KAT to stop fouling. After Game 6 Ant said in his press conference he yet again told KAT to stop fouling. During Game 6, it could be heard from the sideline coaches yelling "HANDS HANDS HANDS" whenever KAT was guarding Jokic in the post. The reffing in this series has been beyond inconsistent, but the one constant has been that if you either reach in on Jokic or bump him back, you will be called for a foul. KAT still screwed up in Game 6 and bumped back at Jokic under the basket - foul. You could tell he knew. This is why KAT is the only one who will decide if Jokic can work his "unstoppable" magic or not. I think KAT has learned. I think Wolves win Game 7

You can't recover instantly from a 45 point-loss. A 10-point loss, you can probably identify certain things you need to adjust. But 45? You're talking about an overhaul. Time for the Nuggets to get a well-deserved to Cancun.

I’ve had major issues with the Nuggets killer instinct this year. For instance, they go down to San Antonio to end the regular season, which if they win that game against one of the lowest rung teams in the Association, they claim first place. They sucked. It showed me everything I didn’t want to see in their constitution. No way they repeat this year.

Supporting cast not good enough to cut or make the shots. Murray has a calf issue. Basketball is a team sport and Jokić can’t score 100 by himself. Or can he? Marc Davis lets extra physical play go, so that’s another significant factor As Calvin booth did not improve the bench Murray’s injuries swing momentum significantly. With Bruce Brown swings would not be as pronounced The fish stinks from the head though, owners didn’t keep Connelly and may pay the price

It’s not just this year I’ve always disliked Murray for Jokics running mate. He plays selfishly and seems to bog down the offense. And his defense has been pathetic his whole career. I was pleasantly surprised during last years run but Murray just isn’t gonna help Jokic long term. And It seems like he’s always hurt so idk. I’m a Kentucky fan so I was pumped when we drafted him but I pray that we don’t max him out

Throw in the towel along with your heat pack next time. Can’t believe this dude was even allowed to play. Was rooting for nuggets before this incident too. SMH…

Can a championship team lose by 45 points? Can a championship team melt down in that crucial SA game in the season? That's my concern. Well we shall see in game 7.

Murray doesn't have good selections of shot

What do you mean all games have been blowouts? Game 1 has been the best game and it was close contest. Game 4 also was close contest. Thats not right to say all 6 has been blowouts.

Trade murray

Murray is being the most selfish player in this team,he just care about himself,it make me disgusting.

Yeah, it's not complicated. Murray and MPJ have to stop playing like shit.

Just figured out how the nuggets win game 7 they out score the timber wolves

I said before the Nuggets-TWolves series started, that the TWolves will win the NBA CHAMPIONSHIP. They are loaded. They are the best defensive team in the league. We saw what the defense did to Denver yesterday. They have 4 time and current DPOY in Gobert. They have current 6 man of the year in Naz Reid. They have 2 current allstars in KAT and ANT, and to top it off, they have veteran and former allstar Conley at the point. It's a wrap. CONGRATULATIONS TWOLVES ON YOUR FIRST NBA CHAMPIONSHIP !👏👏👏👏👏

Nuggets fans are nervous...Twolves fans are confident

I think the nuggets are in trouble. Jamal has been pathetic, it's time to think about re-upping this team. Mpj sucks, put him in pressure and he can't hit the broad side of a barn and his D is still worthless. Jamal is always injured, and this year has been 💩 in the playoffs, it's time to move on... Mpj and Jamal for Luka should be proposed... that's assuming the mavs fall short again.

Murray can't win anything by himself or help his teammates because he is selfish and unintelligent

Very simple, Murray was awful and needs to play at least well.

Nuggets fans are talking about the Wolves like they’re the greatest team of all time 😂. Going to laugh my ass when they beat yall and lose in the next round. Crazy what happens when you don’t play 45 win play-in teams the whole playoffs. Easiest ring of all time.

Denver is going to win this game on Sunday by 12 points 💰💰💰💰💰💰🌍✅✅✅🔥🕯️🧢🆗⌚🧲💵

That's where you're wrong playoffs are not all about matchups I'll say that again they're not all about matchups you are incorrect because you could win your matchup all series long and yet your team would lose the series or you could lose the matchup all serious long and your team wins the series that think it's overflowing when people say matchups no it's not about matchup because you got to beat the team that's in front of you not to match up the team you have to find ways to win that series the last team standing so therefore regardless regardless which team is in front of you you have to find ways as a team to beat that team the better team always wins the best of 7 the better team wins the best of 7 not the better matchup
