Jokic’s Nuggets, Steph’s Warriors, & the true identity of a team | DNVR Nuggets Podcast
JOIN THE DNVR DIEHARDS! https://www.thednvr.com/join-diehard
Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are reinventing themselves in their own image. Christian Braun, Peyton Watson, and Russell Westbrook are new (or in new roles), but the team remains the same in so many ways. It mirrors what Steph Curry and the Warriors have done, losing Klay Thompson but maintaining their identity. So who makes a team’s identity? And should it cause us to rethink what makes up the true “core” of the Denver Nuggets roster?
Plus, Michael Malone inches closer to Doug Moe.
Adam Mares, Brendan Vogt, and D-Line Co. come to you LIVE from DNVR HQ to break down everything you need to know.

I’d rather our bench get development injury minutes now than at any other point in the season.
Me and Adam are both coaching our 8 year old daughters basketball teams
The yes chef holds a very real purpose at 7 pm on prom night in the city Eric. Put some respek on it.
It’s hard to watch on the red courts. I think the gray ones are a good idea for every stadium. The cooler colors are way better on the eyes
d line’s affinity for hardwood is crazy. Pause, Adam.
Cores evolve
Coach mo!
The Oracle sounding poor joke was foul, industry has punished Oakland for well over half a century and sports abandoned them in turn. It’s a huge bummer. I was an Oakland A’s fan. I’m not fuckin w/ the Vegas A’s like that.
I respect your guys consistent hate for Lakers (and/or LeBron for Adam & D-Line but moreso lakers for all).
Last year at this time you were all excited for/during the NBA Cup and wanted to win it. The Lakers win with Bron MVP and ever since then you all talk about the NBA Cup like it’s essentially worthless joke 😆😂🤣.
I get it I do the same things with teams I hate. Honestly outside of LeBron I’ve always been anti Lakers too and I still think it was OBJECTIVELY a dumb AF move by him to go to a team who had the worst record in the NBA 2013-14 to 17-18 before he got there who has been run like a dumpster🔥for most part since Dr Buss died in 2013.
Still mad he didn’t join my other current favorite non Pacers player since MJ Hakeem of the 90s Jokic & Nuggets (though I didn’t know that in 18-19 when LeBron could have looked into Nuggets!).
PS as valuable/great as Curry is, Draymond is the heart and soul of that team as a 2 way player who since 2015 playoffs is #1 in Playoffs +/-, Steals, blocks, rebounds and 3rd in triple doubles behind only LeBron #1 Jokic #2.
Also fwiw so far this year Warriors 3-0 without Curry winning by an avg score of 118-105 including killing Pelicans b2b (with stars healthy) and winning @ rockets by 6 (who are 7-3 vs everyone else so far this year).
If Joker is out this year Nuggets have no chance to go 3-0 nevermind go 3-0 winning by 13 PPG! Steve Kerr so far should he coach of the year imo (or Atkins).
Jokic is the core of the Nuggets not Murray, AD or MPJ. They are all clogs but the machine runs because of Jokic. If and when the FO moves on from any players the only one that matters is Jokic.
NBA cup is pretty cool I think, excited for it given how intense some of these early season games have been. I want them to win this shit. Makes me angry that the Lakers won it last year.
