Everyone has a sounding board these days. It&#8217;ll help his social media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>McDaniels&#8217; comments generated widespread attention in part due to timing, delivered early in a series. Johnson acknowledged that the team could take it as bulletin board material.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sure, sure,&#8221; Johnson said. &#8220;But I&#8217;m not entertaining those antics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Nuggets finished the regular season with a league-best 121.2 offensive rating, winning 54 games to grab the third seed. But they did have the 21st-ranked defense, finishing with a 116.0 rating.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re all bad defenders,&#8221; McDaniels said. &#8220;They don&#8217;t got people who can defend the rim. Even if [Jokic] is there, we&#8217;re more athletic than them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adelman was critical of the team&#8217;s Game 2 rebounding, noting a 20-3 advantage in second-chance points for the Timberwolves, but snapped back at the idea that the Nuggets have been bad defensively.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Narratives are interesting,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You hear so many things. We&#8217;ve gotten lazy in society. What&#8217;s our defensive rating in this series through two games?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Denver&#8217;s defensive rating is 109.3 in the first 96 minutes of the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;109,&#8221; Adelman said. &#8220;How is that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It ranks sixth best of the 16 playoff teams.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sixth best in the playoffs?&#8221; Adelman said. &#8220;OK. Next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Nuggets are without fourth-year wing <a data-player-guid=\"657d52d7-47ba-335d-b936-531e62eced90\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/player\/_\/id\/4576087\/peyton-watson\">Peyton Watson<\/a>, one of their better perimeter defenders and shot blockers. He is dealing with a hamstring strain and worked off to the side at Wednesday&#8217;s practice. Adelman said that the hope is to get Watson back in this series at some point but that the expectation is he will remain out for Game 3.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves Braun as one of Denver&#8217;s few legitimate options to slow <a data-player-guid=\"a2edb458-a371-3fba-ba5a-b24dd2fd2d9e\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/player\/_\/id\/4594268\/anthony-edwards\">Anthony Edwards<\/a> and Minnesota at the point of attack. McDaniels did not mention Braun in his roasting of Denver&#8217;s defenders.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s part of the rivalry,&#8221; Braun said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it caught anybody off guard. He&#8217;s kinda speaking his truth and what he believes. We&#8217;ll allow them to do that. We kinda want to take care of our own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is the teams&#8217; third playoff matchup in the past four seasons. The Nuggets eliminated the Timberwolves in five games in the 2023 playoffs.
