Timberwolves: It's okay to just nuggets! The main thing is that the Suns are too vegetable, and they set off their opponents
Only from the performance of the first round, I am more optimistic about the Timberwolves, the combat effectiveness shown by the Timberwolves in the first round is really crushing, both offensive and defensive, both inside and outside, Gobert guards the basket, Towns can open up space, Daniels can also attack and defend, and Huazi can stand up at critical moments
And the Timberwolves' bench is much stronger than the Nuggets, but the Timberwolves have a hidden danger is their foul control, because they are more fierce in defense, so there are too many fouls throughout the season, of course, this may also be because the Suns are too stretched
But to tell the truth, it's true that the Suns are too stretched, I think the Nuggets can sweep them, the Suns' performance is really bad, even Conley, a veteran who is not known for his offense, can beat the Suns through, the Nuggets' defense must be a few notches stronger than the Suns, but the Nuggets' outside performance in the first round is too spicy, and the bench is a group of real CBA, if the Nuggets' outside line does not return to normal, the Timberwolves really have a chance
It's mainly the Sun garbage, and the Thunder is also crushing the Pelicans, and the opponents are different. Although the Lakers were swept by the gentlemen, everyone who watched the game knew that the Lakers played much better than the Suns Pelicans. Of course, the Timberwolves are very strong, and the reason why I am more optimistic about the Nuggets is that Edwards is not a top five star in the league, and Jokic is the first person in the league, and the Timberwolves have a more perfect and balanced lineup, but I still believe in Jokic. Last year, the Timberwolves were swept by the gentlemen with one less McDaniels, and this year he returned, and I guess the Nuggets won at home
However, the defensive level shown by the Timberwolves in the first round is absolutely terrifying, and it is impossible to defend the Suns Big Three to this extent, I don't think the Nuggets can do it, and the Nuggets may be able to strangle one point all the time, such as strangling Durant last year, but it is impossible to be able to defend every position like the Timberwolves.
But the Timberwolves' offensive ceiling should not be overestimated, the Suns' defense is too bad to give Edwards enough threat, and the biggest problem of the Wolves is that there are fewer ball handlers and they rely on Huazi's outside development, and Huazi's ability to handle the ball has not yet become complete, which will definitely be targeted when playing the Nuggets
