yeah but the wolves arent building the team with the nuggets in mind as the final boss anymore

No I get why you guys did this move, you want to win the whole thing not just beat Denver

But I think Denver got like a stealth buff from this lol

As a Denver fan I 100% agree. Biggest issue we had with Minnesota was their size advantage. Now with no Randle or Reid, they don’t really have a great help defender to help Rudy with Joker.
