Wolves vs Nuggets Game 1: Wolves Drop a VERY Winnable Game in Denver

About this episode

The episode discusses the Wolves' disappointing performance in Game 1 of the postseason against the Nuggets.

Unfortunately, game 1 of the Wolves postseason wasn't didn't have an M. Night Shyamalan twist; the Wolves haven't been reborn into something new but are the same team we saw in the regular season, albeit more injured. Rudy was the big ticket, playing some very good defense on Jokic and being an effective offensive contributor. Ayo and Donte were solid. But no one else on the roster could elevate their game to the needed playoff level to take advantage of a subpar game from Denver.
