The Wolves absolute will kill the Nuggets inside... I don't see KCP can stop him,

Ant Jordan

I hope so. I am sick of the Jokic overrating.

Moreso if KAT plays at allstar level I'm very confident they'll beat the Nugs.

Lakers*

No they is not

He averaged 32,5,5 on .602ts against Denver last year and theyre the same team now if anything they got worse w/o Bruce Brown to somewhat check him. They cannot guard him at all

Bigger difference is Murray isnt playing as well as he did against them last year. Jaden Mcdaniels their best perimeter defender was out last year. Murray is gonna be guarded by him all series. And Naz Reid was out last year

Wolves in 6

I am more worried about Murray’s health than Ant to be honest.

More worried about Denver’s bench being able to make a wide open 3 than Ant honestly

Yeah, Nuggets will have it very tough if Murray continues to struggle and Ant plays at this level. Joker can only do so much

It will be the ultimate litmus test.

If Murray is healthy, like, 44/38/88 healthy, Wolves are getting smoked.

Otherwise they'll lose. Suns are god awful and I think people are overrating the **** out of the Wolves.

When healthy. Wolves were/are the biggest threats to Denver in the West. Along with the Clips.

Nuggets bench and Murray needs to step up and stay healthy.

They have the best shot at beating nuggets in the west.
Specially since nuggets seem to be playing lazy and sleepy.

other than that i dont see any team beating them, including celtics ( i hope)

Minnesota lost in five to Denver (with multiple close games), despite Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid being out, Kyle Anderson going down half way through the series, and Denver having a much deeper bench. It should be a competitive series.

Ant was amazing but the suns are AWFUL

Denver has a far superior defense than Phoenix so I would be surprised if he can play “like this” against Nuggets.

Jokic may be a lot of things but the one thing he isn't is overrated

Christian Braun has guarded Ant really well.

But Murray is a concern. He's scoring on 44% TS against Reaves. McDaniels, Edwards and NAW are on a completely different level.

During one of the games in the Lakers series, the announcer said Denver thought that was their hardest series in the playoffs last year. Even Denver knows how dangerous this series is.
