Michael Malone on Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr.’s experience in Game 7s: “Game 7s can be a little bit too big for some people. And I don’t know, we’ll find out. Experience is a great teacher.” – 2:49 PM

Just watched Jamal Murray make 15-of-16 shots all around the 3-point line while an assistant was putting his arm up to challenge. When Michael Malone was asked how hungry Murray is to have a big Game 7, Malone said Murray looked very hungry, as if he hadn’t eaten in 2 days. – 2:39 PM

Anthony Edwards said there was finger-pointing going around the last three games. He credited the coaches with making a video edit of all the good things from Games 1 and 2 for shifting the energy.

Just so everyone knows and so hopefully Wolves players/coaches stop being asked about “switching the matchup up so KAT is on Jokic,” KAT has been Jokic’s primary every game.

The Wolves’ activity has been incredible on the perimeter and on the boards. And Anthony Edwards is filling it up. But a big part of this hot start, IMO, has been KAT’s aggression and decisiveness on the offensive end. – 9:07 PM

That was all that was. Yeah, I mean I cussed him out. I cuss him out every chance I get. Bro, stop fucking fouling. I think you guys see it, if KAT don’t foul we pretty much can win the game every time. Tonight he had three fouls, but he only had three, he didn’t have five. I told him today, ‘We thankful that you didn’t foul because if you foul we lose, because you the best matchup we’ve got for Jokic, like you do the best job on him. I mean we’re coming to double but you do the best job standing up to his first dribble.’ He did that tonight.” -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / May 17, 2024
