Time for the MVP to step up and overrated coach to make some adjustments.

Now that we've heard from the peanut gallery, those were words of wisdom M8 :roll: :banghead:

I would like to think we'll take that embarrassing loss a use it as motivation and come out swinging. Remember, we're the ONLY team to win when we were down 1-3 games, not once but TWICE

Jokic has to be more aggressive on offense, that will open up shots for others, its easy to defend others when Jokic plays pickup basketball..Good thing is that Malone did show previously he can make adjustments from one game to the other, he is not that good with ingame adjustments though...If we win tonight, I think we can win this series still, but Jokic has to start the game looking to score more so defense focuses on him more. Approach he had in last 6 games will not cut it against good defensive team as MIN..I don't care about refs, it's playoffs, it's 2nd round, forget about refs and what we need, FA deadline passed, trade deadline passed, you work with that you have and you have 3x MVP who is not trying to score to start the game...

Denver was awful in this playoff in 1st half, the worst stats out of all 16 teams including those 8 that lost 1st round series, so tonight's perfect 1st half comes from nowhere. Murray and Porter were on the all-star level, Jokic in triple-double mode, and the bench is useful, but it is a fantastic defense that made a 15-point difference at halftime limiting the Wolves to just 41 points.

It's about time they started competing.
Canned in Denver.

Well, about time to see that eye of the tiger attitude so prevalent in last years run, nice arse-whooping.
So where is Mickey8 with his wonderful evaluations now ?

Still an uphill battle, but the team that showed up last night should be able to face any test in the playoffs
