I was rooting for Denver, just because I love watching Jokic play, but I gotta tip my hat to Minnesota. The defense that they played in this series was some of the best defense I’ve ever seen played. No hyperbole. Game 2 and that second half might be the best defense I’ve ever seen played in an #NBA game. Just incredible stuff.
@mrcompletely that’s the competition for me. I don’t know how to compare modern era defenses to the 90’s. The defensive rule changes (even with the increased physicality post all-star break) make it feel like two different sports.
@Conville@NateFederman what's wild is that every few years a team comes along that plays good D and they always punch above their weight, often enough win rings, and everyone goes DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS Y'ALL... and then no one else bothers trying to consciously build around defense and it's like the whole thing never happened.
