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.
Jokic has never been swept in the playoffs I guess. But of course, adjustment is necessary but I doubt they'll make the right one now that there's a rumor that Murray might be suspended one game, and if that is game 3 then I guess the Nuggets will struggle due to lack of offense. We all know that the Nuggets are about Murray + Jokic, both should play together so the team will play better, so it's important to know if Murray will play before we place our bets.
Minnesota's defense plus ANT's offense. Can't argue that the Wolves' overachieving postseason is anchored on this young guy who's really proving he's worth the hype and the MJ comparisons. Though I'm sure that not many though they'd take both games in Denver before going home. Mentally, it should put a lot of pressure to the Nuggets but definitely you can't count a team out especially if they have Jokic there. I've seen game clips where the Wolves are making it hard for Murray to even be in a decent position to score. Adjustments will be made but definitely these two wins will be a big morale boost when they start game 3 at home and a bigger challenge to the Nuggets to bounce back.
I thought that the Nuggets are going to be back in game two and win because it's hard to be 0-2 deficit and go back to the Wolves den, so to speak in the next game. It's their defense that really set the tone, even in game 1 they have put a great effort to handle Murray. ANT is doing both defense and offense in game 2 and no one can stop him not even the Nuggets best defender, Aaron Gordon. It's too early to say, but it looks like the Nuggets are going to be eliminated by Wolves here unless Jokic and Murray play great in the next game as the Wolves homecourt. Yes, the hype of ANT comparison against Jordan is real, he exposed KD in their first round, and now taking over the Nuggets in their series and trying to advance to the Western conference finals.
