Anyone comparing the 2 just isn’t watching!

@@HoopVenue You just offended Deadspin.

What was so bad about jazz 2021? I didn’t watch NBA at that time, I know they had Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, what makes them so bad?

@@hughjass4380jazz sucked fuckin ass on the perimeter D. It compares nothing to this wolves squad.

​@hughjass4380 Rudy was the only one playing defense and was winning DPOY awards but his teammates didn't put in much effort to help him. It left Rudy exposed because he had zero help on the perimeter. He was 1 man trying to guard 5.

The bar for what a good defense is has changed drastically, but the fact still remains that a top defense will lead you places.

Aks what's more crazy, wolves have held 16 teams to under 100 points a game.

Something I’ve been saying is that these versatile 2 big lineups are the next big thing in the league and they’re having some success too. The first blueprint was Giannis-Lopez, but we’ve also seen it with Williams-Horford, Mobley-Allen, hell I’d throw Gordon-Jokic and Zion-Valenciunas(sp?) in there, and of course KAT-Gobert now is proving to reign king among these pairings where Giannis-Lopez used to. In most of those cases you have one big who’s more rim focused in drop and being a paint anchor (Lopez, Allen, Horford, Jokic) and one who’s the more switchable one and more of a roamer off of a weak shooter (Giannis, Mobley, Williams, Gordon) while you also have at least one on offense being the more capable shooter, one who’s more of the roll man/paint guy, and either having at least some shot creation tools or is an outright shot creator. Also, with Zion’s defensive improvement as this season’s gone on, he could join that bona fide roamer category which could serve to further boost Valenciunas’s underrated if not spectacular drop proficiency. KAT and Gobert (and Reid when he’s in with either) have a unique ability to be able to perform both roles at very high levels, Gobert obviously doing either the best of the bunch but all are capable in either role. Edit: Also I’m fully aware the C’s configuration is now Porzingis-Horford but KP has basically taken Rob’s role except now he’s even more of the shooter and even more of the handler than Horford

Supreme? No team is winning with a bad offense. Being the best overall team is supreme.

Cuz defense always has and always will WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS. It's the Essence of American sports. Denver built a good model for the new Big era but Minnesota has definitely moved in to the next level. And they're young and deep enough to stay around for a while. It's exciting to watch.

Not even remotely close, Rudy's finally got some help.

but mike conley wasnt that good in Utah, i find him way more aware and useful to the wolves than he has been for the Jazz @@HoopVenue

Thank you!!

jimmyhighroller too

@@tristanharris8440 he talks other things in basketball

Alex hoops and thekidshere are also good

agreed

Very very good comparison.

Exactly! Newer generation people, Idc if you realize or not, but DEFENSE WINS GAMES!

That’s the formula for an elite defense in today’s NBA

It's going to be comedic seeing what happens to Minnesota in the playoffs. Trust me.

@@jeffreyriley8742bro Bruce brown from the last years nuggets team said out of everyone including Miami who the faced in the finals the wolves were their hardest match up it’s out there just search it up. And the didn’t even have McDaniels and naz that series just sayin lol 😅

@@jeffreyriley8742 I doubt that. They're rivals to my team. I watch the games and I'm being objective from what I've saw and not just coming from a place of s*** talking and fan bias. Those two things are all in good fun, so I appreciate your comment, but I don't think that's how it's going to play out. Although, the Wolves do have trouble scoring when it's needed at times. If they lose in the first round all the better for my squad. None of us know how it's going to play out though, literally nobody knows lol

@@jadedlynx I promise you that come playoff time.

@@World_core Not saying they won't win a series but they won't win more than that.

He’s the GOAT!

FACTS💯

That's some Facts right there. Great analysis with limited bias. Very rare these days

Everytime!!! 😂😂😂

That means a lot, thank you!

Perfectly said

No one. Defense is a team concept. This is what others don't get.

Yessir!

I loved the trade from day one, was just a year early!

​@@HoopVenueWow credit to you for going against the grain back then cause everyone was clowning and calling it a bad trade

@@wemakecookie I made a video on the team and predicted them to be a top 2 seed before last season!

@@HoopVenue 🙌🙌

Bucks have been doing that for years with Brook Lopez and Giannis. Lopez is 7'1 and Giannis is 6'11. The reason it works and this works is that Lopez/KAT are good 3 point shooters. If they can't shoot 3s you'd have the same issue that Cavs are having with Jarret Allen and Evan Mobley.

Rudy

rudy, jalen, then naw then ant

@@MalikSanneh i love jaden but he is a very overrated defender and usually does more harm then good

You think there gonna call more fouls in the playoffs??? Are you autistic?

Like why do you think embiid shits his pants in the playoffs

Kat has the 2nd highest defensive rating only behind his dawg Rudy

Absolutely. They have the physicality and size to match us

Jaden doesn’t defend Zion…

Thunder wolves nuggets clippers all could beat any east team

Sure
