It's a simple choice: we either keep the band together out of sentimentality, or we want to win, which means break it up.

Watching this series has opened my eyes to being ok with Klay leaving if he wants to.
I initially wanted the big 3 to stick together no matter what but tbh, the competition has gotten stiffer and if we're going to compete, we're gonna need a bigger boat.
Can't give Klay the max+years to stay. We need reinforcements like nobody's business.

looking at KCP i don't know what he has that moody doesn't specially with the way he defended to end the season

I dont want to overreact to 1 game, but I have a hard time seeing Denver beat this Minny team with a hobbled Murray. Wolves are bigger, hungrier and deeper than the Nuggets. There's just too much for Jokic to overcome.
This series kind of reminds me of that 07 We-Believe Warriors vs Dirk's Mavs. The Mavs that year would of beaten pretty much any team in a playoff series. But they just so happened to match up with the one team that had the perfect personnel to exploit their weakness. A similar thing seems to be happening for Denver against this Minnesota team.

It’s that fadeaway jumper y’all. If Kobe was the 2nd iteration of MJ, then Ant’s gotta be the 3rd. Speaking of fadeaway jumpers, I’d love for JK to perfect that shot. We’ve already seen him use it at times last year but I think it could become an unstoppable shot for a him, especially in the mid post. He’s going to command double teams at will if he’s able to perfect it.

Honestly, with how stacked the west is looking in the coming years. Does an aging Steph even have the juice to run that gauntlet, even with a hypothetical complete roster retool? Shit guess I can't help but make everything about the dubs...

Didn't get to see them game since I was out at the time, so thanks for this breakdown fam. Yea, not gonna overreact. It's only one game, but man do the Wolves look tough to beat. Their defense, size, depth, coaching is just all so much. I still think Denver can win this series, but it's most likely going 7, and I'm all here for it if Minny wins. Those Nuggets fans been getting nasty on twitter talking about a dynasty and Jokic > Steph after just one chip, but hey we'll see lol

I know this is blasphemous but man watching ant is like watching a young diet Michael Jordan. I’m so impressed with how much he’s developed. Dude looks like everyone else on the court is playing in slow motion except for him

Kendrick dancing on Drake's grave at this point lol. My TL full of the whole rap beef instead of regular ball memes and narratives and all that fun stuff lol

This was an extremely enjoyable to watch. Very fascinating on a basketball strategy level-and Anthony Edwards is HIM right now. I’ll be really interested to see what Denver does to react to this

Thanks alch! Missed this one but thankful to count on you for these big matchups.
Btw... Jcole looking pretty smart for ducking out of this beef. Kendrick is trying to end drake's career, and he might actually do it (or at least significantly damage it). Dropping bomb after bomb on him like a blitzkrieg lmao plus rumors of ANOTHER track dropping at some point today

Was so psyched to see this drop. Agree with your first point - it's really chill to watch these games knowing that you don't have to stress about the Dubs. Just watch it for the love of the game. And Ant right now is stylistically the best in the business. Jokic, Luka, SGA - they are too methodical and boring. (OK, Luka and Joker have some crazy passes but there's no athletic superpowers).
It's about to be ANT's league!
The fact that Murray and KCP are injured might mean that the Nuggets can't come back. They don't have the depth like they did last year.

This is easily going to be the best series of the entire playoffs. Likely the true finals as well. I don't see Boston beating either of these teams.
I'm happy the Dubs crashed and burned honestly. It's refreshing to watch almost any playoff game and see quality basketball being played without agendas either my own as a fan or on the teams with their own internal politics.

Did we just see MJs return in Ant? Shame the dubs didn't have the 1st pick in 2020. Even in hindsight though, with Lacobs love for Wiseman, who knows if the Dubs even go for Ant if they had the #1. What do you think Alc?

Man your vids are so helpful. I recently started a breakdown channel similar to yours nd your channel is sort of like my mentor. Appreciate the inspiration Unc.
