Yeah, the Timberwolves is a buffed version of the Nuggets. When most of us have thought that Jokic is unstoppable, it's a great wall of defense coming from them. I know that the mastermind of this is their head coach - Chris Finch. While he's got the most defensive player of the year. It's no doubt that the built of the team through a balanced team members with scorers and defenders. 2-0 already and note that Gobert wasn't there on the 2nd game.
This is not over yet, if the series would be 3-0, then I think we can talk that the Nuggets are not the same team anymore. Actually, this two teams met in the regular season and it was a competitive game, this game especially in game 2, the Nuggets seemed to loss their composure, and even the coach are questioning the judgement of the officials.
If the Wolves will win, it's still far for them to win the Finals since they'll have to face another great team, most likely the Dallas in the WCF and the Celtics in the NBA finals, that if they can beat the Dallas.
The advantage is on the Timberwolves because it is going to be their home court next, right? And while beating Nuggets on their home court advantage, that's hard to see them come back but let's see and you're right that it's not over yet and there are a lot of things that can still happen.
And if they face Dallas or Thunders, they can beat them IMO.
Yeah right, Wolves is composed of a well balance squad, everyone knows their responsibilities and they are inside the court to perform whatever the task that coach gives them, Jokic and Murray ain't getting any confidence from this two last games, they are outperform by the wolves on both defense and offensive stats.
Still not done yet, Wolves needs two more games to win before concluding the series, and they are competing against the defending champ who who can comeback and snatch this series from them.
Let see if what adjustments both team will comes up this upcoming game 3, good luck to those who already place their picks either per game or per series.
I think that the Nuggets need to use other of their big man like Jordan and other of their benches so that the Wolves will have hard time thinking who's going to be their main scorer and it's not always Jokic and Jamal.
