« on: Today at 03:40:48 AM »This series is playing out just like the regular season did. Both teams swept the other on the home teams court. If that's the case for this whole series, Denver loses in 7. Just a stat to keep in mind if you are betting.So no team will be swept in the semi-finals huh? The way the Nuggets handled game 3 was a huge statement that they are still the defending champions. They are surely back in business after that emphatic victory. The Nuggets probably need to thank the NBA management for not suspending their playerThat would be better because that means more competition to both teams, more excitement towards the fans, and more money for the whole league.
It's back to the drawing board for the Wolves' coaching staff.
Just imagine if Murray got suspended because he threw that heat pad in Game 2? The outcome would be different that's for sure because in this game, he got his rhythm early on and scored 24 points compared to only single digit in Game 2. The adjustment that they did is to rotate the ball faster. We've seen double teams in the first 2 games that's why they lost. Now if they see an open guy, they will pass it to him and from there, the ball will either rotate or he will shoot it. That's because there are times where Wolves are doing double team to a single player. Now that type of defense will not work against the defending champions. I wonder how will the Wolves adjust to this blowout loss.
Anyway, there will be no sweep in this series and just for context, the Denver Nuggets are 0-11 in playoffs when they are down 0-2 in a series. Will this be the first time that they will win after being down 0-2? Let's see how both teams will play in Game 4 days from now.
