With the elimination of Nuggets, the Nuggets team also officially started the fishing mode. In fact, in the face of the Timberwolves, Nuggets had the opportunity to win the series, but the whole team, except for Mr. Yue, could hardly help him.
In this playoff, teachers were invited to play 12 games, with an average of 40.1 minutes, and scored 28.7 points, 13.4 boards and 8.7 assists. No matter whether facing the Lakers or the Timberwolves, Teacher Yue is still able to play well, but other people will completely pull the hip.

Murray lost his previous arrogance when facing the defense of the Timberwolves. He averaged only 18 points in seven games, and scored less than 20 points in all other games except G3 and G7.
The same is true of Gordon. In the face of the Timberwolves with two towers, Gordon struggled very hard, while Porter's performance was even more crotch pulling. Except for G1 and G3, the scores of other games were all single digits.

G2, 4 out of 12, 9 points; G4, 2 out of 4, get 4 points; G5, 2 in 10, 6 points; G6, 3 in 9, 8 points; G7, 3 in 12, 7 points.
In the whole series, Porter averaged only 10.7 points and 5.7 boards per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 33.3%. You know, in the first round against the defense of the Lakers, Porter completely swung away, with an average of 22.8 points and 8.4 boards per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 48.8%.

A series game reflected how good the defense of the Timberwolves was, and also proved how bad the defense of the Little Broken Lake was. I have to say, good or bad, it all depends on the peers. From now on, the Lakers are eliminated, which is not a injustice at all.

Porter played 81 games in the regular season, the highest in his career. He averaged 16.7 points, 7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, and hit 48.4%/39.7%/90.1% in three events.
Although the first round of the game against the Lakers was as fierce as a tiger, in the face of the Timberwolves, Porter was once again beaten back to his original form. His crotch pulling performance also made many fans question him again. After all, Porter's salary is not low.

In 2021, Little Porter and Nuggets reached a five-year renewal contract of 207 million dollars, of which 172 million are salary guarantees. In addition, he needs to reach certain conditions to obtain them, which are: 1. becoming an MVP; 2. Become DPOY; 3. Be selected into the best team.
Porter's salary this season is 33.39 million dollars, the third highest in the team.

In addition to the restriction of the main force, the Denver Nuggets' bench is also very hip pulling. Throughout the playoffs, the Denver Nuggets' bench only played 10.2 minutes to the bottom of the league, with a shooting percentage of 35.4% and a three-point 30.3%.
This means that the Denver Nuggets win or lose depends on the main force.

If the substitute is not good, it needs to be strengthened. However, the current Nuggets do not have much salary space to operate. Next season, the minimum salary of Nuggets will reach 171 million, and the maximum salary will reach 193 million. No matter what kind, all of them exceed the luxury tax.
There must be a big change. Unless Nuggets have a deal, no operation will work.
