We learned that people in Denver are so blind! It hurts so much!. I mean Denver jokers organization 🥲🤣🤦🔜🗑️
U WHAT From last 2 games?!? Sow what??? Positives 😃?! My god… SMH
If " best" coach in NBA don't change CB and Julian it's over and it's over so faster than i think
What we learn? Bench is bad, as last year
I don’t know if we have learned anything. We knew going into the season they don’t have a lot of: shooting, spacing, ball handling, athleticism, versatility, veterans, trade able assets. All of those things have been proven true. They have Jokic at the height of his powers surrounded by a team that would win 15 Games without him.
CB is cooking, if he is able to shoot 40% when wide open, we might have something…I have no believe it will happen, but one can see the path to success (last two season, unguarded shooting, 10%). If Jok becomes 40% volume shooter and AG maintains his 40% (he can actually hit, he's not guarded, on small volume), we can actually put together some kind of spacing. Still need PWAT to step up, trade Westbrook and hope Strawter isn't sure basket on defense and we have 7 guys…so even if everything breal right way we only have 7 guys…
We have learned that the Nuggets finally have a player in Russell Westbrook who can timely pass the ball to Jokic under the basket. That means more free throws for Nikola in the future, his faster pass to the 3-point shooter. We also learned that Jokic's good 3-point shoot percentage means more space for Strawther, Braun and Westbrook to attack the paint. Overall, the offense should be more fluid and faster. On defense, Russell, Brown and Gordon should play as much as possible with Jokic. Russ, Strawther, Braun, AG, Jokić, it looks like the best Nuggets' five to me, for now.
BTW Adam, where is that diehard content you talking about, could not find it on the website only articles by Vogt and Harrison
What we learned? The nuggets can’t shoot and aren’t contenders being torwards the bottom of the league in 3 pointers
Not letting Braun shoot those 3s is such a stupid choice by Malone. The dude shot 37% last year and the other team is gonna concede them. You WANT those especially when your team doesn’t shoot many threes. Malones old school and doesn’t give confidence to his shooters and it’ll hurt the nuggets title chances going forward.
That Jokic is a better person than other "stars" out there. Cause if these are players front office want to surround with they would have ask for a trade by now.
Whenever the National Media is positive about the Nuggets, I feel really uncomfortable. This is MUCH better.
Basically today show is about two dudes trying to talk each other in to this season DN team..By pushing some insane takes with a lot of hopium ..
While there is a clear deficiencies from 3 point shouting to clear decline in depth and Jamal and MPJ taking step back instead of forward this year..
Also criminal exploitations of Jokic prime from front office for player development bad untreadable contracts and going chip in general.
This season is at best first round exit.. Having hard time with injured bad teams that and wining against them in OT we are back at Bol Bol Facu years.. its kind over.. 😛
