The Denver Nuggets Have EVERYONE FOOLED…

1. Everybody writing off the Nuggets while Nikola Jokic is in their uniform is crazy. They could easily win it all this year if they really use this season to sharpen the young players and manage to rest starters before the playoffs.

2. If I'm a nuggets fan I will go over the moon again I want to see if the raptors will get everyone fooled again

3. nets are actually good

4. They still need to fix the bench. They need to trade that 14 million contract between Nnaji and Saric and convert them to serviceable role players.

5. Think with the bench learning how to play like starters with Russ will elevate everything. The subconscious defeatism with the joker minutes thing needs to be shaken off, Russ is going to do that

6. Nuggets aren't back, Jokic is back. I wouldn't trust Nuggets to be a serious contender with such a short bench

7. The thing about Jokic that I like, is that he isn’t just stat padding like Lebron and Westbrook did… he’s actually getting Wins with those stats. He’s a mix of Shaq & Magic fused together!

8. They need to have a reliable sub for Murray. Murray when he is hot is good but when he is cold he is really cold. If they had that alongside Gordon and two solid roleplayers, they would be unstoppable. Westbrook just need to be consistent, he continue that and he may get a ring at the end of it.

9. 4:53 it's what? "Inedimible" Lol and you said what such confidence too. I'm just messing with you btw.

10. Jokic is playing 40 minutes per game and that's not sustainable for 82 games in the regular season. He played in the olympics last summer and cumulative strain can add up and make him exhausted by the time playoffs are around.

11. Jokic is…inevitable.

12. It's 6th

13. just trade for one good veteran bench player like a o neale

14. CB's confidence is growing. He is going to score, rebound and assist more than KCP. How many times has he postered Rudy?

15. No one with young players has won anything, neither will Denver. For the title, you need experience not of one or two but more years. Denver's youngsters are good, but Jokic also needed four or five years to win the title. In other words, the youth will be ready, and I really mean that in two or three years, and then Jokic will be at the end of his career. The lack of experience will be shown in difficult matches, regular season playoffs where youth and inexperience will certainly be felt, even though the youngsters leave their hearts on the field.

16. Not bad at all but CB need to learn pass that ball little I watch in last two games every yime he have ball he never pass to anyone or he shoot for 3pts or he go on rim to dunk and he have chance to make some good layups but no! Understand he is young and wish to prove his place is on the floor but little more passing will be awesome

17. I'm happy to see Westbrook a part of the Nuggets. This current roster is a good one that'll develop to a dangerous level.

18. This Denver team is screwed because of what they are paying MPJ & Jamal Murray… Those 2 contracts alone will prevent them from building a competent championship roster

19. Then they lose the next game and bro releases "The Denver Nuggets are Over…"

20. Our bench does well when they start but not when they one the bench lmfaooo

21. Maybe… Bruce Brown per se?

22. Braun has become my favorite wing defender that gives you offense!

23. Jokic is like a Brady or a Mahomes, but is treated like he's Joe Burrow by the NBA media. Like Shaq shows just how jealous he is that a big guy is showing how dominant he could have been.

24. I hope that Murray hitting his head rebalanced his equilibrium and he starts playing the way e is supposed to

25. I'm a nuggets fan but I'll admit they are not as strong as they have been in the past and their bench is whack. The Joker has been having to play out of his mind to keep them in these games and he can't keep that up for the whole season.

26. How can the Suns not be in your west contenders at this point? Hamstring injury isn't season ending.

27. CB is better than KCP
    And strawther is shooting well
    Swatson is 3rd in blocks in the league playing 20 mins!!!
    Things are looking up

28. Does anyone in the NBA set picks better than Jokic?

29. 4:25 Respectfully, my friend, the OKC game was not Joker’s 3rd triple-double of the season; it was his third TD in a row and his 5th one of the season.

    Joker now has 5 triple-doubles (the rest of the league has 11 combined) out of his 9 total games. He missed two more by a single rebound or assist … not that he cares. 😅🃏🐐

30. 4:53 inetivable?

31. All I’m saying is I feel like Nuggets fans are feeling the same way OKC fans were feeling when Russ would avg a triple double! Russ avg a triple double 4 years nikloa I think this is his third time averaging a triple double?! It’s great to see and you always know something exciting is going to happen!

32. Russ is a leading candidate for 6th man of the year atm. Minnesota trading KAT makes Denver’s path easier. There were questions about them losing KCP, but his production tailed off the last few years. Braun and Russ are giving them more production and better defense than KCP and Reggie. Russ is an elite 6th man. He brings talent and leadership. He can step in when Jamal gets hurt, and when they are all healthy, he can play alongside Jamal and Jokic giving them 3 elite passers. After that, it’s PWat, Strawther, Hunter Tyson and Zeke. Their championship rotation of Bruce Brown, CB(rookie) and Jeff Green really stepped up for them but I don’t think anyone can say they are better on paper than Russ, Watson, Strawther and Tyson.

33. There's almost a zero percent chance Jokic wins the MVP, even though he's clearly the most effective player in the league. Even if he kept his stats the way they are now, he'd need to finish first to have a chance to compete with someone like Tatum. They will just stop giving them to you, no matter how good you are (LeBron and MJ both got shut down even though they were still the best player in the league)

34. CB is will be the key to their Chip run, he will be the primary defender on the opposing teams best player and his offense has improved tremendously. Jokic will do Jokic stuff, but he cant win by himself, Murray is too injury prone. I think the addition of Westbrook gives them an intense , scrapy player with a supercharged motor. Nuggets need another big, PF to to help with rim protection and rebounding and I think they'll be unstoppable.

35. I saw someone say that the concussion protocol knocked the yips out of Murray 😂

36. Well not everyone… maybe NBA "anylist"

37. Part of what makes Jokic so great is how he's elevating players around him. KCP leaves and his production goes down. CB gets promoted to starting lineup and his production skyrockets. The vast majority of CB's points are coming off of Jokic's passes.

38. 10 game in isnt enough to judge…everyone pontificating is just verbal masturbating right now, current trends will be different at the all star break….and never write off a team with a still young perennial mvp

39. He is the best player in the league in that his style fits almost anywhere and all time with a semi respectable squad.

    Hell, even Russel Westbrook works with him

40. I'm loving it. GO NUGGETS

42. The Denver Nuggets HAS everyone fooled.
