A 19-7 run for DEN to end Q1. Wow.

Minny a little too composed. Need some more urgency. Start their attacks earlier. Attack harder. More intensity. Too willing to wait and try to take what the defense gives them.

Gobert is just killing them offensively.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Anthony Edwards is putting in a huge effort on defense. I wonder if it is too much effort. He needs to marshall his energy for the offensive side. He is their main creator. He needs to be fresh enough on offense to deliver.

Also, he seems to be getting quite down on some of these high effort defensive plays that do not work out. Like these hard close outs where DEN makes the shot. Bad body language afterwards. Taking it too emotionally.

Towns is the only guy who has got going for Minnesota.

Ant 1-5 FGA. Conley 1-4 FGA. Gobert 0-3 FGA.
NAW 0-3 FGA.

These guys need to contribute.

Just as expected the Nuggets experience champions and the Wolves youth and inexperience it’s on full display. Nuggets are coming outta the west.

27-7 run for Denver. Minnesota hasn't scored in 5 minutes. Yikes

That is what scares me about DEN vs BOS.

Denver are the only team that can out-experience Boston. Boston have more experience than any of the other teams. Only Denver has more them.

Good to take Ant out. He needed a breather.

Needed to calm down. He was getting too frustrated. Too out of focus. Needs a moment to re-focus and come back strong when he comes back in.

You can have the best defense in the league all you want, if your offense is middle of the pack you aren’t winning anything. They don’t shoot threes well, and Gobert clogs up the paint.

It doesn't look good for Minny. Looks like one of those learning experience type games for young teams that are not yet ready for prime time.
