Nuggets Survive Raptor Attack

1. Joker playing 30-40 minutes a game doing everything is not ideal. MPJ needs to go ASAP if this continues Jokic will get hurt this front office is ass, Murray is complete ASS he needs to average 18-26 PPG as the SECOND BEST PLAYER or were cooked…

2. Love from Belgrade – Serbia . Yeahhhh ….Winn !!!

3. This isnt sustainable. They are wearing Joker out. 39 min (b4 OT) for regular season game?!?!?

4. It was a great win. It was the type of win that let me know they are still thirsty. It is the type of win that made me say LETS GO!!!!

5. Trade Mpj + Pwat for deni avdija. And nuggets win the chip.

6. Wtf are these dudes talking, Murray was trash

7. 2-2!!

8. Aren't you guys sick of making excuses for jamal? Show you're worth the max contract you just got

9. hmmm so ag played bad d and got dpog? how does that work? aso powel gave us 36 was it 38? and mal d is good? wow, just wow

10. Honestly seemed like that scuffle with Westbrook, Gordon, and Barnes may have woke them up 3 games into the season. I know it took them a few minutes after to get going but I want to remember that moment in a few weeks and see if it was the spark we needed.

    I'm intrigued by Dario and Zeke playing together, but man could we use Holmes.

11. Nuggets play like a team that knows they are not good enough, and that they need their A game in order to hang with lottery-bound teams

12. We rush to judgement. I have faith that as the team's chemistry marinates it will become more flavorful. Also, I think Michael Malone will solve the rotation just fine. He usually keeps Joker under 30 min. a game during the season. There are, obviously, special circumstances.

13. We know that Jok make everybody look better but i think this season will expose how much KCP cover up(bail out) for MPJ and Jamal in terms of space creation and lack of defense..
    
    This season will expose that MPJ and Jamal are just overpaid average at best and in my opinion below average players that they are.And we will be lucky to go to first round of playoffs with them.

14. Raptors missing those 2 free throws was big

15. (2:10) Lol! Man, Ryan is addicted to being negative, I tell you! 😆😆

16. Its still crazy to me that Calvin Booth said "we have nine real guys". With the straight face. Like, I'm not even talking about whether thats true (in my mind no, they have like 5 real guys lol). But imagine a GM saying that half his roster basically sucks, PUBLICLY. Like WTF? What would you think if you were a player and your GM says only 9 of you are worth anything? In fucking credible

17. There’s nothing wrong with joker carrying that’s what a generational talent supposed to do? The problem is that there’s no positives around the team outside of jokic. Like there rim protection is terrible, jokic the main problem, perimeter defense is mid, no switch ability on this team and no other players maybe beside ag and Braun is stepping up. Watson absolutely needs to play more and be used as a star defender wtf is Malone doing I thought he was a good coach

18. They didn't say how Google Braun is playing!!!

19. Jokic fouled the heck out of Scottie Barnes…. Raptors got robbed.

20. What the hell was that first 8 seconds ?

21. Same as my previous channel commentary of the game with the Clippers. MPJ, Julian and Watson are clear on the floor, MPJ seems completely lost and Raylik from the plaz off series when the ring was won. Just look at him when he dribbles over Durant and fouls, where he assists himself off the backboard and many, many other smart and well-designed plays. Watson is a player who will never fit into the Denver team. His two attempts at teaching ended in failure and he could simply lie on the hoop. On the field, it is clear that there is no where to stand in defense, who to take over, not to jump on every pump fake and make unnecessary fouls, a shootout is a disaster as well as the finish on the same… there are still many negative things and I will not allow it after 5 game with 4 blocks for Watosn to buy mei like he played great. Julian still seems on the field as if he has to prove himself at any cost, even though his movement is like a fly without a head. If he wants to become an NBA player, he needs to have at least two more seasons of minutes of no more than 15 minutes, because against the Clippers, he committed 3 personal fouls in 5 minutes and killed several balls. The current skeleton of the team is Joker, Braun, Jamal, Gordon and that's all. Gordon should be a little more active in defense, because currently we saw 60 percent of Gordon is what we are used to seeing. The bench is as it is and once again Zeke doesn't even get a chance for a piggy bank, but he is still kept on the bench. He is a player who has had progress in his game and he just doesn't get the chance to show it. His minutes should be 25 minutes where he would replace Joker in one part and Gordon in the other as a four. Zeke is very tall, he moves fast for his height and it is really unrealistic that we are watching Saric instead of him. Together with Julian and Watson all three of them should be traded Even if it included 2 or 3 teams in that trade, can get two quality players plus some picks, one of whom would be a starter. Tyson and Picket should also be or traded or buy out alongside need try to sign Holiday as well as one of the players who have not yet signed a contract. MPJ will not improve and it really seems that way on the field, while Jamal tries his best in his minutes. Dallas had a trade last season and they looked like a completely different team since the trade. Bogdanovic doesn't play in Atlanta, Brown and Olynk don't play in Toronto, you can find a lot of other players who could easily fit into Denver's game. Russ should be something like KCP and Braun in that he works mostly on defense and in the attack to make it possible for other players or himself to find themselves close to the goal with his movement without the ball. He should not be the primary playmaker with the second line-up, but should play more without the ball. Include Zeke and Tray Aleksander in the rotation, leave Saric just in case and in garbage time.

22. Jamal sucked as usual, and I am not going to celebrate him not missing a layup. He was already limping in the fourth quarter, third game in the season. Christian was great and looks like a solid upgrade to KCP. The way I see Jokic's movement, if this pace continues, his back is going to give out in a couple of months at most. The only real positive out of this match is that the Nuggets did not give up.

23. Matt the biggest Jamal defender in the universe, he should be traded instead of max extension.

24. CB has shown more improvement and grown in 2 season than MPJ ever did in 6seasons

25. Why is it that only the young players on the Nuggets can’t get it done? Ant man was 22 when they beat the nuggets, Toronto is a team full of young guys that probably would have won if Barnes didn’t get hurt. Tired of the young-guys excuse!

26. I like when I write comments in the time interval when the abilities of some players are mentioned. Another big bs on the part of Moore, who can be a thousand times a writer in any newspaper, and that Yeke is a better player than Saric, they didn't put him on the bench for half of GSW for nothing. Zeke is more mobile, more agile, 50 percent faster, he doesn't shoot off the ground so defenders can block him, he's great for jumps in attack and defense. The guy never got a real chance and podcasters like these are only messing with his career even more. Zeke should play 25 minutes every game where half of that time he would replace Joker and half of Gordon. Saric cannot play even in the worst Euroleague team, guaranteed. He is still young at the border of 23/24 years old, he already knows how Denver plays basketball, he knows how to position himself on the court and his shot is just as excellent as when he was in college. Watson is a hot head who wants to dunk every ball and he could easily just lay them down and that will never change with him. Another thing about Watson is that he is a player with a very low basketball IQ and he didn't try to improve that compared to last season. Opponent players read him like an open book when he's on defense, because they fall for every pump fake, and there's an opportunity for the opponent to score a 3-point game every time when player switch on him. He jumps close to his rim before time, so he can't take the balls off defensively and offensively. And I repeat myself, I will not allow that when he plays one game with 15 points and 4 blocks to believe that he has found his rhythm, because he simply hasn't and he is a very similar player to Hyland. Julian is disappointingly bad, I was hoping for at least 3 or 4 three-pointers from him with 35-40 percent shooting and the same for MPJ, but still MPJ needs to score 5-7 three-pointers per game, otherwise it is completely useless. The defense of MPJ is a disaster, you saw on the field that it collides with its own players because it does not know who to take over when they start with the zone. Four balls were stolen from him by Toronto players at 80 cm from the rim, maybe even more, and the worst thing is that he asks for the ball from the players himself, and as soon as two of them surround him, sometimes three of them, can't get the ball out because he bends over and holds it 10-20 cm from parquet instead of elbowing and hold the ball in the chest area- the things kids learn in bball school. If Zeke plays instead of Saric, maybe we can expect Denver as it was before, but knowing Malone, he will throw in Jordan and Denver will only then lose to teams weaker than Denver on paper. Nothing is lost yet, it can be seen that the players, apart from Jokic, have not yet moved their legs and played as a compact team. We'll see when we get to 12-15 games how Denver will play until then, let them get through these kinds of games wherever they can. My opinion that MPJ, Julian and Watson should be traded for two very good players will stand even if Denver plays well, because for the Play off with this team they will not pass the second round and maybe not even the first.

27. Dealing with our rotation is an eternal Hobson's choice, I hate it. We just need an average performing bench, they're awful right now.

28. Booth was a better player than he is a GM and he was a fuccing trash a$$ player 😂😂
