The Timberwolves had their fun upsetting the defending world champion Nuggets in Denver during the first two games of the series.

But that fun ended when the Nuggets regrouped to batter the Nuggets, 117-90, in Minneapolis this past Friday.

Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray showed they could get the better of the Timberwolves' defense that ranked No. 1 during the regular season. The Nuggets have their confidence back now. The Timberwolves are young, untested in the playoffs and face more pressure than usual being a home favorite.

I don't trust the Timberwolves in this role.
