01:42

01:45

to jic Anthony Edwards is exactly right

01:48

I mean my goodness look first Aaron

01:51

Gordon played I thought great y uh kcp

01:55

hit some big shots I thought he hit

01:57

twice he hit shots when it felt like

01:59

could min to get back in it and he hit

02:01

that shot you're like in fact from each

02:03

Corner exactly two Corner threes yep

02:05

Christian Brown there's been talk about

02:07

the bench Reggie Jackson played pretty

02:09

well in the first half Christian Brown

02:10

came up with some big plays but Jamal

02:13

Murray and Michael Porter Jr weren't

02:15

really you know Jamal was okay but they

02:17

didn't put their imprint on the game and

02:19

joic I mean he did it all he he played

02:23

with muscle he played with finesse his

02:26

footwork was tremendous he hit hook

02:28

shots he obviously has a few dun which

02:30

is unusual for him he hit some big

02:33

threes he

02:35

destroyed the def the four time

02:37

defensive player of the year he just

02:39

annihilated and goar had actually

02:41

guarded him fairly well in the first few

02:44

games of the series so yic look and Nick

02:46

I'mma say this I am already doing it now

02:50

you know last year after joic won his

02:52

first championship I had I said he's the

02:55

seventh greatest sinner ever yep I am

02:58

moving him ahead wow

03:00

of Moses Malone just on last night well

03:03

I mean an accumulation it was already

03:05

close I'm moving him ahead of mes I just

03:08

think he's better I mean he does

03:09

everything uh and and he's chasing

03:11

elijan obviously to get in the top five

03:14

but he was tremendous Denver also great

03:17

defense they doubled Anthony Edwards

03:19

that was a nice adjustment from uh

03:21

Michael Malone and uh also they

03:25

protected the rim well in game four I

03:27

was like man a can get to the rim and

03:31

there's nobody there to even disuade him

03:34

at the rim and last night they protected

03:36

the rim really well too so just

03:38

allaround great performance by the

03:40

Nuggets go ahead WS uh I was going to

03:42

talk about the turnovers sure we talked

03:44

about everything else zero turnovers 30

03:47

points 10 assists zero turnover games

03:49

this season including the playoffs Joker

03:52

has four the rest of the NBA has four

03:54

total and specifically I wanted to shout

03:57

this out because the turnover were

03:58

driving me baddy last game against the

04:00

Lakers even though they won he had seven

04:02

turnovers first game against the Wolves

04:04

which they obviously lost he had seven

04:06

next game he had four last night he had

04:09

zero so just hold on to the ball take

04:11

care of it no free points I feel like

04:13

the Wolves thrive on turn almost like an

04:16

NFL team they thrive on turnovers get a

04:18

little more energy get a little more

04:20

think we can to them uh but it didn't

04:22

happen and it was just a delight well

04:24

the well so there's I think that you

04:27

guys almost understated how brilliant

04:30

Joker was so I'll get into that but

04:32

first I do want to give Wilds props Brew

04:35

he's 43% of the way to being right so

04:37

he's almost halfway to being right that

04:40

no one's beating Denver in seven game

04:41

series they have seven of the 16 games

04:44

they have to win for you to be correct

04:46

but you are back from the brink and you

04:49

to your credit put yourself out there

04:51

yesterday guaranteeing a Denver win I

04:53

thought that was foolish and the reason

04:56

it felt guaranteed in the second half

04:59

was because of NCA joic and so that

05:02

third quarter by joic was and we can

05:05

show you the numbers and the numbers are

05:06

great but they're not historic like

05:09

we've seen quarters like this if you

05:11

watched it it was perfect offensive

05:14

basketball it was absolutely Apex

05:17

perfect offensive basketball against

05:19

Rudy who was not playing poorly I'm he

05:24

and so to me there are almost four main

05:27

characters from this game joic is

05:29

obviously one of them and it is backto

05:31

back A+ games in the biggest spots

05:34

imaginable and that by the way is how

05:37

you become legendary you mentioned dream

05:41

there they it you there was a bit of

05:44

dream seeing the Admiral get the MVP and

05:47

then hanging the 4116 43 and two on him

05:51

in yic yesterday dropping 40 his first

05:54

ever 40o playoff win typically when he's

05:58

scored like that it's because they're

06:00

under or they it's been a strategy so he

06:03

was brilliant I also I can't I think

06:07

coaching matters a lot good or bad and I

06:11

think Michael Malone that was one of the

06:13

most effective technicals ever committed

06:15

by a coach it then led to three

06:18

consecutive charges which all were maybe

06:21

good calls 5050 calls but he got them

06:23

all and then you pointed out Wilds in

06:26

the third quarter I think it second yeah

06:28

start of the Third they went from down

06:30

six Minnesota did to up one timeout 112

06:33

run Boom for so they get credit like

06:36

coaching get in back playoff series for

06:38

good or for bad and then on the other

06:40

side of it quickly so I thought Draymond

06:43

listen getting getting Draymond to

06:46

critique Rudy goar is a little unfair in

06:51

my opinion I don't know that he is going

06:53

to be an unbiased Observer on it and he

06:56

set the narrative that goar has to be

07:00

better for the record Draymond only got

07:02

to play Rudy once this year because he

07:05

was suspended or missed the other games

07:07

Rudy had 32 I'm sorry not Draymond only

07:11

got to play joic once this year pardon

07:13

me and joic had 32 16 and 16 which has

07:17

only been done by two other guys in the

07:19

history of the league so even great

07:21

players have trouble with Nika yic what

07:25

I do think is fair is this this is why

07:29

some of us have stated that goar's value

07:33

can be overstated because you can be the

07:37

four-time defensive player of the year

07:39

the best defender in the league and

07:41

utterly helpless it is why when people

07:44

say it's 50% offense 50% defense that

07:47

might be true for teams but for

07:49

assessing individual players it is not

07:52

true because the great offensive players

07:56

will crush you and that is what we saw

07:58

last night and and then the last person

08:00

is this it's Anthony Edwards who this is

08:04

kind of why unless your name m is Magic

08:07

Johnson or Lebron James at this age you

08:09

don't lead a team to the finals because

08:12

you're not GNA you're going to have

08:13

you're not obviously

08:16

had leading the right but mag was 100%

08:20

so Anthony Edwards he there has to be a

08:23

little bit of criticism in that this was

08:26

a real after a great game four that they

08:28

lost

08:29

a game where it was in the balance and

08:32

if he would have had one of those

08:33

flurries in the second half they could

08:35

have taken the lead in that third

08:37

quarter he probably needed I think he

08:39

needed to be a little more aggressive

08:40

against the double now again they

08:42

defended him really well the yeah he was

08:44

he was making the right plays and his

08:47

teammates couldn't hit shot early on

08:49

Nicole or n Alexander Walker who played

08:53

well and did Monty Morris in place of

08:55

Mike Conley but I didn't think Alexander

08:58

Walker was going to be able to keep

08:59

hitting those threes in the first half

09:01

he was three for three in the first half

09:03

and that was keeping them in the game

09:06

one for five in the second half and it

09:08

fell apart all right meanwhile bruise

09:10

wolves Draymond is a body language

09:13

expert remember with Jaylen Brown in the

09:16

series against the Celtics didn't he

09:17

pull at his shorts or Draymond pulled at

09:19

his shorts he didn't respond also

09:21

remember in the national championship

09:23

game from his couch assessed that a guy

09:25

quit and that's why they lost then we

09:27

realized that guy wasn't even in the

09:28

game at time that he was talking about

09:30

so I he could be H with body Lang but

09:33

here so I disagree that they've quit but

09:37

you guys know I agree with why you

09:40

limping cat you played 38 minutes and

09:44

played like you said pretty well and now

09:46

you're gonna live he could have said it

09:47

about Luca he could have said it about

09:49

embiid he could have said it about

09:50

Anthony Davis too all right and there's

09:52

just some guys that are going to do that

09:54

but when you do that and you're either

09:58

you know you're drawing simp y from the

10:00

onlookers like man you know look at how

10:03

you know he's he Brave through it he's a

10:04

tough guy he played through it but your

10:06

opponents are looking at it in a lot of

10:08

cases as weakness cuz we just saw you

10:11

play 35 to 40 minutes and you weren't

10:13

limping and now you limp off all right

10:16

so I just think that some of these guys

10:18

not just cat they need to recognize that

10:21

now I don't think they're done I don't

10:22

think they've quit I think Anthony

10:24

Edwards will bounce back every time he's

10:27

had a subpar game Nick and he's playoffs

10:30

he is bounced back game two against

10:32

Phoenix he goes three for 12 15 points

10:35

comes back with 36 the next game game

10:37

three against uh Denver 19 points 4 was

10:41

shot okay but then dropped 44 on them so

10:44

I think Anthony Edwards is going to

10:46

bounce back the key cat I don't know if

10:50

a 23 is enough they may need him because

10:53

they probably going to double Anthony

10:55

Edwards again and show make the

10:57

timberwol show what adjustments they

10:59

made

10:59

and C may need to go somewhere between

11:02

28 and 30 they also could use Conley if

11:04

he can come back and I don't well if he

11:06

can come back and again I think the

11:07

other guys play well but

11:10

he's he directs traffic and all that

11:13

stuff so but look I I I think they

11:17

absolutely are still in this thing and

11:19

uh this is yeah base levels at an

11:21

all-time low there I no no I firmly

11:25

believe for I firmly believe

11:29

um can I if you're a student of NBA

11:32

history Brew which I know you are is it

11:34

82% took a 3-2 lead after dropping the

11:37

first two at home that's different how

11:39

did it play out you showed me this the

11:42

other day you put this in my face the

11:44

other day something simple you think

11:45

they're going to be the first team to

11:47

draw to lose a series well let me let me

11:49

say this before you go Nick and that

11:52

obviously that's doesn't look well but

11:54

there's more than that you somewhat

11:57

alluded to it last comment with Anthony

12:00

Edwards the history says that you just

12:04

don't do you don't if you're the te-

12:06

Wolves you don't win this series and go

12:07

all the way to the finals all right

12:10

Isaiah Thomas Michael Jordan uh Lebron

12:14

James even joic it's taken a while like

12:17

if if Minnesota wins this series and

12:19

goes all the way to the championship I

12:21

mean that will be largely unprecedented

12:24

not just and I'm not even saying cuz an

12:26

Edwards is 22 cuz I do think he has good

12:28

players around better than LeBron and

12:31

and Jordan and those guys had at a young

12:32

age but still they history would say

12:36

they lose a heartbreaking series and

12:39

then next year maybe get over the hump

12:42

and then the following year get over the

12:44

hump if they're ever going to so

12:47

history's with the uh so as you guys

12:49

know I'm yet to make a pick in this

12:50

series yes oddly but I yet I don't

12:54

think I am willing to now through five

12:57

games now that F this is a weird one

12:59

where the series actually didn't start

13:01

until the home team won a game which was

13:03

last night

13:05

so it does feel like Denver's in control

13:08

but as confident and sure as you

13:11

are I have a question for you as sincere

13:15

question yeah just cuz I'm wearing a bow

13:16

TI I mean do you think one of Denver's

13:20

weaknesses this postseason maybe their

13:21

only weakness has been they haven't

13:24

taken every game totally seriously yeah

13:28

yes even at the the uh waning parts of

13:31

last night's game time to relax guys and

13:36

so do you think it's on the board that

13:40

they let their foot off the gas for game

13:43

six for game so you think you so as

13:46

confident as you are of the Nuggets

13:48

winning the series you're not totally

13:51

confident that it's not going seven no

13:53

sometimes their confidence can yes and

13:55

so I think that Anthony Edward's going

13:57

to come out with a Vengeance in game six

13:59

and I think Denver can get a little

14:01

careless and so the point I am trying to

14:04

make is this if it goes seven it is

14:08

ludicrous to act like only one team can

14:11

win the series it is act like as Brew is

14:14

picking the Timberwolves he is not

14:15

saying like he going into a game seven

14:17

he would not be like this thing is a

14:19

lock and I don't think I I there is no

14:21

scenario the the last time I felt like a

14:24

game seven was a lock was when Paul

14:27

George's Pacers were playing the peak

14:30

Miami Heat remember that series that

14:31

went back and forth back and forth and I

14:33

think the heat end up winning that by 30

14:35

points it felt like it was a mismatch

14:37

that Miami just kept letting them in so

14:39

I think this is going to go seven Denver

14:41

has the best player in the series they

14:43

are the most confident they have the

14:45

most experience but weird things can

14:47

happen in a seventh game and so that's

14:49

all that's why I feel like your

14:51

celebration is a touch premature not

14:54

just for the championship but for this

14:56

series in so you have made a pick

14:59

right now I for the next game well no

15:02

listen my pick right now is Denver and

15:04

seven but I the fact that it's going

15:07

seven means Anything Could Happen could

15:09

see you know what as a gentleman you

15:12

know what I'm going gentle I me agreeing

15:13

with you you're going to allow that cuz

15:15

you're a gentleman well sure we're five

15:17

games we're five games in and he's

15:19

making a pick and you're what happened

15:21

you guys talked so much I didn't have

15:22

time since in the history of that this

15:25

show has that ever happened I you know

15:27

what there's a first time for everything

15:29

we just invented as this week too go

15:31

ahead finally to the Garden Jaylen

15:33

Brunson did Brunson validate his Club

15:36

15:40

15:46

club America show the club to America so

15:49

we can they can be reminded on who's in

15:52

15:54

be for our matri e if in jayen brunson's

15:58

seat was Donovan Mitchell who's not even

16:00

playing or tyri hton might as well not

16:04

16:07

either or Kyrie after two out of last

16:10

three games has nine points they Club

16:13

Superstar with the eye of an oracle

16:16

knows who to let in and who to let out

16:18

admit it bro no no what do you mean this

16:20

is why Nick is so happy why because you

16:23

probably had this done a week two weeks

16:25

who knows how long before we unleashed

16:28

it

16:30

no you had to get that you don't just

16:32

draw that up a few hours before the show

16:35

all right and you yourself after

16:37

brunson's last two games before this one

16:39

we're like oh my gosh I put Jaylen

16:42

Brunson I'll give you this like DiCaprio

16:45

the other guys in the club now they

16:47

aren't looking at him like what's what's

16:50

old boy doing here right what's old boy

16:52

doing it here maybe one day he'll

16:55

actually show the line he is deser is a

16:59

star player who we a superstar

17:03

historical series but one series one

17:05

postseason does not a superstar just

17:08

want so you just want there to be here's

17:09

the thing I think you want there to be a

17:11

vacancy in the club cuz there's no on

17:14

the Donovan I think Donovan Donovan it's
