He’s actually a really funny guy to be around. Hopefully we’re going to have some fun too.” pic.twitter.com/F36ZzDIAkK

This is the pass Anthony Edwards needs to consistently make in this Denver series.
They’re gonna play Jokic up in coverage on Ant when Jokic’s guy sets the screen. If Ant can make this pass over/around Jokic, that corner 3 is gonna be there — and it’ll often be a better shooter… pic.twitter.com/xP36oCPrxd – 3:51 PM

Naz Reid needs to be an offensive weapon in this series in the non-Jokic minutes, and/or just in the possessions when Jokic or Gordon aren’t guarding him.
I understand the temptation to go to post in these situations, but I don’t think it’s the best path.

Anthony Edwards shot 40.2% from the field and 29.4% from 3 and had almost as many turnovers as assists playing for a .500 college team. I was out on him as a prospect, and I look back and the only thing I was missing was that, well, this guy, he’s what the kids call “him.” – 11:53 AM

More on this storyline
Harrison Wind: Nikola Jokic on the Timberwolves: “When Tim Connelly made that trade (for Rudy Gobert) everybody was laughing at him and what he was doing. But he made a great team. I think he deserves credit for doing that.” “I think they’re built really well.” pic.twitter.com/Ov4NnoVCzx -via Twitter @HarrisonWind / May 3, 2024
Harrison Wind: Interesting Nuggets-Timberwolves storyline: Micah Nori, who could be Minnesota’s acting head coach on the sideline for Chris Finch, was an assistant in Denver from 2015-18. He coached a rookie Nikola Jokic at Summer League. pic.twitter.com/AkKkOagDTg -via Twitter @HarrisonWind / May 2, 2024
Jorge Sierra: Jaylen Brown passed Celtic legend Bob Cousy and Nikola Jokic in playoff scoring yesterday. He’s No. 65 all-time now (at age 27). Also: Al Horford is a Top 25 rebounder in playoffs history after moving ahead of Draymond Green. pic.twitter.com/PfNi6kTX01 -via Twitter @hoopshype / May 2, 2024
Dane Moore: Anthony Edwards on Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: “That’s my brother. That’s my brother. That’s my big brother, for sure. And I’m tryin to tear his head off.” -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / May 3, 2024
Dane Moore: Asked Anthony Edwards about how it’s been having Micah Nori leading practice this week: “He’s an extended version of Finchy. They always together, they always talking. So it’s pretty much the same. Finchy still here, still talkin, regulating shit. So it’s no different.” -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / May 3, 2024
On the other side, Saunders coached many of the players who have led the Wolves’ renaissance this season, including Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards. “I think it’ll add a little additional competitive spice to it, but I know both teams respect the entire building, which I think is well-deserved,” Connelly said. The similarities don’t stop with personnel. Both franchises are located in mid-sized markets that are not traditionally hotbeds for free agents. Both know what it feels like to struggle. When Minnesota swept Phoenix in the first round, it was just the second time in the 35-year history of the franchise that the Wolves moved on to the second round. -via The Athletic / May 3, 2024
