In Games 1 + 2, the Wolves played defense the way they wanted – Gobert told Gordon to check Jokic, and then Gobert was on the rim guarding Gordon allowing the Wolves guards to press the hell out of the ball because they know they have it. backup. The best kind of backup.

“Isn’t Rudy Gobert a DPOY? Why is he always a DPOY in the regular season but a liability on defense during the playoffs?”

Nikola Jokic fools Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns with a spectacular pass 😮

Rudy Gobert on Aaron Gordon’s shooting performance tonight:
“Many of the pictures he shot were contested. If Gordon turns into Kobe Bryant to recover, we have to live with that. Those pictures were controversial, some of them very controversial. This is part of the game.” – 12:11 AM

Rudy Gobert: “If [Aaron] Gordon turns into Kobe Bryant to recover, we have to live with that. Those images were disputed, some of them very controversial. This is part of the game.” – 11:27 PM

I just don’t understand how Gobert goes from DPOY to defensive liability. I mean damn it! – 11:03 PM

Michael Malone couldn’t say enough about Aaron Gordon’s performance tonight, especially his defense against Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert. KAT was held to 5 of 18 shots. – 10:48 PM

Nikola Jokic vs. Rudy Gobert is the worst 1-on-1 matchup for the Timberwolves, and Jokic has completely dismantled Minnesota’s defense when Gobert is playing him. – 10:42 PM


You see Rudy Gobert making a money hand pic.twitter.com/MB4RxNyvoN – 10:20 p.m





The Nuggets’ most prolific Rudy Gobert pick and roll is because they’re comfortable letting Gobert make the decisions in the short order — 9:38 PM

The T’Wolves came out with KCP guarded by Gobert in the first place on purpose, and I don’t know why. – 9:21 PM

Ant Edwards’ 3 at 00:48 seconds into 2Q cut DEN’s 16-pt lead to 7
Since then:
Gobert foul 00:33
KCP 3 00:20
Edwards turnover/Jokic steal 00:05
MPJ dunk 00:02
Alexander-Walker turnover/Murray steal 00:02
Murray 3 from 55 yards to beat the buzzer
DEN was up 64-49 at the half – 9:11 PM

Shocked that Gobert didn’t get the T. He went straight to the scout after playing after that painting. Wild last few minutes here. – 9:00 p.m

A triple appearance for the Wolves – Gobert, Towns and Reid pic.twitter.com/9m0grM20Oz – 8:54 PM

First major DEN:

Aaron Gordon scored 10 points on 4-for-4 shooting
MIN major starters:
Karl-Anthony Towns scored 3 points on 1-for-8
Rudy Gobert 1 pt on 0-for-0
DEN up 50-39 during 2Q – 8:54 PM

The Wolves saw Denver’s lead down to 11 as they found more success attacking the Nuggets’ defense. The Wolves are using a big three right now with Towns-Gobert-Reid and Conley in foul trouble. They just decided to go upstairs. – 8:53 PM

Mike Conley picked up 3 fouls before the half which forced the Timberwolves to punt.
They have a roster of Edwards, McDaniels, Naz Reid, KAT, and Rudy Gobert. – 8:48 PM


The Nuggets defense does a good job of slowing down Towns and Gobert. Both Timberwolves bigs combined for 1 point and 0-of-7 from the field. The best start since the reigning Champs. #NBAPlayoffs #MileHighPlayoffs – 8:42 PM

The Nuggets defense does a good job of getting out of the rhythm of Towns and Gobert. Both Timberwolves bigs combined for 1 point and 0-of7 from the field. Such a great start from the reigning champs. #NBAPlayoffs #MileHighPlayoffs – 8:40 p.m
