Nobody in the NBA right now should be panicking more than Nicole Yokish and the Denver Nuggets. Nuggets versus Timberwolves, which one of these teams should panic? Let's talk about what we've seen. And I say that, let's talk about what we've seen. It's time for some Nicole Yokis Lander. Whoa, coming from you? It's time to be fucking honest. This is his 2011 map series in terms of bronze career. Okay. This is a disastrous performance from Nicole Yolkid.

This is the 2011 Mab Series in terms of bronze career. Okay. This is a disastrous performance from Nicole Yolkid. This is the first blight in his career probably. I agree with you. It's the second blight in a row, but against the Oklahoma City Thunder when he performs poorly and shoots some tour dates here and there, you understand it because he's playing the greatest defense of the modern NBA. So I don't hold anybody's against them, against the Oklahoma City Thunder, just as a rule of thumb. If you get locked up, salute. Everybody probably should get locked up by the Thunder. You can kind of say something similar about Rudy Gobert that last year you played the best defense of your generation. Now you're playing the best defender of your generation. He's giving you fits. We can kind of understand that, right? Sure. You can tell yourself that in terms of Nicole Yokuch's offense and his scoring and him getting locked up in the post by Rudy Gaubert, so be it. His defense is goddamn cataclysmic right now. His defense is an utter disaster. Both sides of the court, he is simply losing his matchup and is not performing anywhere near the best in the world. And I'm starting this conversation focused on Yokic because I think it's important that we acknowledge that he is not playing anything to the level of the best in the world that we've seen give Rudy Gobert fits for years. But also this whole goddamn team to lose two of the Timberwolves when Anthony Edwards hyper extends his knee, when Dante DiMenzo tears his Achilles in the first quarter tragically to get walked the fuck down by Io de Sumu who looked like he lost no production compared to Anthony Edwards on ball.

This team is the epitome of Charmin fucking soft.

It is ridiculous.

And in some ways, they told us who they are all year.

All year they told us, we're not going to play any defense.

Everybody that said thinks we're going to flip the switch and be some dominant team like we've seen in 2023 come playoff time. Just because we're the nuggets, shit was naive. They are who they thought they were. They are a mediocre defense. And when Nicole Yokic isn't playing well enough to make them have that buzzsaw offense they had in the second half of the season, they seem they are getting exposed by a bigger, stronger team.

Again.

Yes. This is horrible. playing well enough to make them have that buzzsaw offense ahead in the second half of the season, they seem they were getting exposed by a bigger, stronger team. Again,

this is easily like the most disappointing outcome right now. Even if the Nuggets come back to win, no one's going to care because the process of it was just really junky. Talk about Nicole Yogan. She deserves all that. And also, like, I remember coming into the series, you were like, yo, like, this Denver Nuggets team is not the same Denver Nuggets team that that was from the years before. You know, Nicole Yogan is different. He leveled up, which is true. Now he seems like he's leveled down in the playoffs against Rueh Gaubert specifically. He hasn't been toward the temper. But more so, bro, Jamal Murray, what's happened? We came up here also saying, And this is same Jamal Murray from years past that Jay McDaniels has given real issues to. And, yo, Jamal Murray, this is some of the worst basketball he's playing literally all year. He's averaging like 26, shooting sub like 38% from the field, shooting like 25% from the three point line. Yep. If he's not going at all, I don't want to say it doesn't matter what Yokch is doing, but because I have the situation, the nuggets are in right now and how their offenses has been clunky and no one has been like hitting all under, especially Yokic, you don't have anyone else to come out, save you. There's no MP, Michael Porter Jr. saving you. There's no,

there's none of that.

Tim Hardaway Jr.

has yet to have one of those games.

And he was like a fairly,

like a really good six minute of the year candidate. Did he win it actually? Who? That one, I don't think it's been announced yet. No, no, Kelvin Johnson won. Oh yeah, Killed Gnors one.

You're right, you're right.

Tim Rydnior was third.

But he was getting at it.

He was everything like,

fucking 13, 14 a game.

It was very,

very dependable.
