Nikola Jokic was not downcast after the Nuggets’ Game 1 loss at home against the Wolves. On the other hand, he was a little short of ideas when it came time to https://twitter.com/MikeAScotto/status/1786964690855154172 of this series: how to adjust to Minnesota’s ability to always have two big men on the field between Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns and Naz Reid. The Serbian’s response is amusing.
“I would have to duplicate myself, have a clone of myself (smile). That way I’m fresh when they bring in one of the guys. I don’t know my friend. I think it’s that’s why they are strong. They can play big or small, put a lot of their guys on our guys. They are long, physical, strong on the rebounds and aggressive. “I scored some and missed others. It was a very difficult match and they are really good defensively.”
The Nuggets won’t have time to develop the technology necessary to create a clone of the best player in the world in 48 hours. On the other hand, we trust Michael Malone and this team as a whole to adapt and find solutions in game 2, so as not to start this series with a huge handicap before going to Minneapolis.
