The defense is better, but it's not good enough. There are too many TOs as well. The Wolves have a shot, but they need to protect the ball and tighten up the defense a little more in the 2nd half.

You guys, the defense is the problem.

This is correct. The Wolves aren't the Pacers. They don't have the offensive players to outgun people. The Wolves need to change their defensive scheme and get more stops. The offense tonight was fine. The Wolves couldn't stop them because they gave up open shots the entire game. Wide open...

That was by design on defense. The Wolves lost due to good old-fashioned Xs and Os. They need to change how they defend. Less doubling, less over committing. Otherwise, this series is over in 6. It would also help if McDaniels and NAW could hit open 3s.

It's not effort, tonight. It's defensive scheme. They're over committing and doubling leaving wide open looks all the time.

No defense.

Game over. Series over.

Denver has awakened. Series is over in 6 games.

Is Eiserman like Vanek in terms of being one-dimensional? Vanek could put it in the net, but he offered no defense, playmaking, etc.

Squeeze them until they fail. Ruin their bankruptcy plan, and put them out of business for good.

Well said.

Murray will be suspended. He threw two items at a referee, one of which created a safety problem on the floor. There's almost no conceivable way the NBA will not protect the refs and send a message about court safety.

The Timberwolves are faster, longer, and more athletic than the Nuggets. Without Jokic setting people up for open 3s, their offense is has nothing.

Reverse jinx.

Well, the Wolves had a chance to put Denver in a huge hole. Now, the Wolves gave them a free win. You can't give away free games and expect to win a series in the playoffs.

The baby was born this morning. That means she went into labor yesterday. Is he even rested enough to play? The guy was probably upnall night. He'll have no energy.

Methinks those averages will be much higher next year.

Indeed.

Once you account for kickers, punters, and long-snappers, there isn't much left to fill for starters.

Yep. Judge, Julio Rodriguez, and Acuña are killing me. Elly is holding down the fort. If those outfielders would get going, I could say goodnight and easily win the title.
