The only issue with teams trying to copy Denver is the fact Jokic is COMING INTO HIS PRIME 😮💨🤯🥵
Everyone will be a few steps behind while catching up
Also i am not sure teams will even try to copy the Joker. Realisticly finding another guy that is a efficient and consistent threat on all levels is close to zero and they know that.
And you absolutely need that guy to Top 15 in things offence otherwhise he cannot replicate what the Joker does or means for his team.
Think about it this way if you where to find a guy that is 75% Shuaq O`Nell thats instantly a great player you would want. (And we haven`t found such a guy yet)
If you find a guy that is 75% Joker you just managed to get a center that is average in all the boring categories of the game. Any competent defence can deal with that kind of player.
Ric “I never voted Jokic for MVP” Bucher
Max struss has stepped up for the nuggets too lol
Right? Literal garbage
Mvp brotha
Good for Aaron Gordon. That's all. Was never hid biggest fan but damn good for him to get this and it's well deserved
Shout out to Denver for repping the small market teams
Lowest rating in the last 15years
Assuming Denver wins we will have had 3 small town winning franchises in last 5yrs... Toronto, Milwaukee, Denver - last 2 got their main superstar in the draft outside of the top 10
@StarboundUK Facts I like it because all the .media talks about is a losing team the Lakers so I hope these small continue winning and shutting the Lakers talk up
My Pacers are due especially with being one of the best teams from 1993-94 to 2013-14 with 7 conf finals appearances and a Finals. Reggie never had enough help sadly in terms of another prime HOF or even multi time prime all star then PG injury really set us back. I wanted Wenbanyama so bad to pair with Haliurton Mathurin as a young big 3 who are 19-23 years old! We’ve never had a number 1 pick ever!
@@StarboundUK"Small town," lmao -- Toronto is the fifth most populous city in North America in 2023.

I loved this discussion. Kevin Love and Chris Bosh come to mind. It always seems to be 3s and 4s that have to make that decision.
Aaron Gordon is a very likeable young man. Just saw pregame mini-interview. Looks like a cool dude
I’m very happy for Aaron Gordon. Pretty sure he was super gutted when he didn’t wink the slam dunk contest that year against Levine. But hey, you won the ultimately prize in NBA!
He won the ultimate prize.
I have been a Denver Nugget fan for over 30 years, I want them to win tonight and be champions, and I don't care about a dynasty. However, this is reminiscent of the Washington Redskins in the 80s when Joe Gibbs, then Washington coach, had the first offensive line that averaged 300 pounds each that was athletic (counter trey?). Parcells, then coach of the Giants, said that if there were ever going to get out of the NFC East, they needed to match Washington's line. Same here. If anyone in the West wants to get past the Nuggets, they must rethink their roster composition.
I am very happy for Aron Gorden he had 2 dunk contests stolen from him plus the guy who was given the dunk trophy was his teammate. so Aron Gorden had to go back to a team that was favoring LeVine who (in my opinion) was never better than AG. AND LOOK AT HIM NOW! Who's the champ? Aron Gorden has what Levine will probably never possess...KUDOS
Great discussion. It's true that nobody REALLY knows how these teams will shake out.
Great for Jamal as well he got hurt and became forgotten and here is the redemption
AG is what Andrew Wiggins was for the Warriors last year
They established that
I always wished the Warriors would have signed him, Gordon. He's from the bay area...seemed to match. Oh well
The only difference wiggs was a better and consistent scorer last year compared to AG this year...
You'd swear Chris Paul could carry a team to a title by how many people hype him up. He's a fragile old player now who could never put a team over the top.
Aaron Gordon is a beast he did everything he could to win he has become my favorite nuggest and how he is with his teammates and he is very humble
We all knew AG would get his get back after not winning any them dunk contests lol Lavine was too filthy tho
That was actually a pretty good comparison/analogy with grunge and hair metal bands
COLIN-that’s the best comparison I have ever heard (no pun) the Nirvana thing- that’s just Yeah!!
Colin “not only do they change the game, they end the previous thing” …yes colin… thats what changing the game means…
A better matchup against Denver would have been a healthy Milwaukee. Though Miami was a tough matchup for Milwaukee, Milwaukee would have been a much tougher matchup for Denver because of their size. It would have been a more intriguing matchup.
NIRVANA reference!!! Sweet.🎯
This has be mpj night. My god he’s due
Rick is too mature and good for the Speak crew. Besides the host I forget his name.
Flip ginobli and Parker ? 😳 😂 Parker got fmvp wit Tim Duncan on the court tf 😂
did colin just say that murray is one of the best defensive players in the league? wow.
Nuggets raising the 🏆🔥
Bucher the Butcher is spitting’ today 🔥
Yeah, the media are trying so hard to fixing what they all were disrespecting the team before the playoffs 😰 HYPOCRISY
Go Nuggets!!!
Jokic is 28 not 27. It’s insane how often Bucher and so many others get stuff wrong.
Yea he’s pretty bad. I’m not sure he knows the intricacies and nuances of the game to be called an expert.
Aaron Gordon is harder than a rock. He is diamond that shines when it matters the most, in the play offs
Teams have been Trying to find their Steph for years. Good luck finding a Joker the dudes game is 1 of 1.
Gordon is by far the best POWER Forward in the NBA today. He's todays SHAWN KEMP
So Denver has the best Scoring Interior Center and the Best Inside Scoring PF. What do you know they ARE WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP JUST LIKE I TOLD EVERYONE that it's all about INSIDE SCORING And not about 3's. Denver would sweep 2017 Warriors. I TOLD EVERYONE FOR YEARS AND YEARS. I Was right. I could tell cause a memphis almost beat the warriors and they are average inside scorers. Give that team Jokic and Gordon and they would've won.
People forget Kemp was very good. The Sonics lost to the Bulls in the final 4-2. It wasn't because of Kemp. The Bulls had no answer for him. His inter demons got him. No NBA player or team ever did.
im a nuggets fan and i know the heat love to come into an opposing teams stadium and shut up the crowd. its that jimmy butler energy and they seem to almost shoot better on the road. They also play way better when their backs are against the wall. i have this weird feeling that they are gonna come out and win a close one tonight, that or smack the nuggets in the face. then the media will go crazy disparaging denver and saying the heat are on the comeback trail and denver will dominate game 6 in miami closing out the series.
Hey Bones Hyland, still happy you were shaking the boat in Denver and got traded?
I hope this brings NBA back to actual Ball play and not so much horseplay
I hope Porter finds his shot tonight.
Nug sho lessgo
Colin is a prisoner of moment analyst.
It seems all sports are a very copycat league, but I'd argue that the Nuggets didn't just lay the blueprint for success....the Heat did.
Much like soccer, basketball is a sport where a top seeded team is usually going to roll a lot of the time.
But the Heat who barely got into the playoffs and on paper just don't have the talent compared to the best teams of the NBA. They have overcome this for the past few years and continually compete.
Just because a lot of the media have the Ricky Bobby mentality "if you ain't first, you're last" doesn't mean the bigger takeaway can't come from the team that seems to have just hit the mountain of a far superior talented team.
Hats off to you Miami Heat regardless of the finals outcome.
After this season, expect the league to go back to two bigs like Cleveland and Detroit.
jimmy scores 50...heat in 7
Ever since draymond green put Collin in a hot seat, the least discussion he try to fit in the warriors and praise them.
@The Herd with Colin Cowherd - all the so-called epxerts stated the East was strong and the west barely had any contenders.
This comment update is following the final game. . .
I wouldn’t mind Paul at Denver
I swear Denver stoled AG from Orlando, lol. Could be one of the worst trades ever.
That is how teams win. Mavs stole KP from the Knicks then didn't keep him.
Tony Parker was a WHAT??? An MVP level player when???
CP3 gets hurt in the regular season…: and he gets hurt in the playoffs. I like him and he’s an all time great… but not sure any team can count on him
He is my favorite player. I think he should hang it up.
😢 it's well deserved for the denver nuggets it'll be considered the best nuggets team in history huh? Jokic and murray (coming off a broken leg) 🦵 is the best duo in the nba at least at the moment. We can't talk repeat next year because it'll be some much turmoil and players feeling themselves looking for deals and outside noise 😁😔 but we will see what'll happen.
Ha! colin cowherd singing a different tune as jokic proved him wrong
Bruce Brown deserves a bag, so he may leave! CP3 should go to Den. Imagine him and Joker being the field general. No pressure and plenty of weapons. If he wants a Chip, go to Den
I made this point to my coworker just today. CP3 needs to come off the bench for Denver if he truly wants a Championship. As a backup point, his lack of defense is not a liability, and his reduced minutes in the backup roll could ensure he was healthy for the playoffs.
@@jamesdomenico2953 We'll see if he makes a playa decision and go to Den. It would be exciting to see. For Den to help a loved vet get a Chip would be a great storyline too!
@@legendsandlegacies1 The roster is gonna get expensive. As a GM you gotta balance developing young talent which can play out 50/50. As well as bringing in savvy vets on a team friendly deal. I think CP3 could also help develop Christian Braun
Nuggets doesn't need CP3, CP3 needs nuggets to win a championship, If i ever denver i would trade MPJ and keep Brown at all cost.
@@djkido316 I agree, Nuggets don't need CP3. Just saying Brown may become too expensive, mostly because of cap issues. We'll see how the GM works it out.
Prisoner of moment… this team isn’t a dynasty
LeCHOKE about to win his 5th ring!!!!
Ric Doucher
Michael Porter's contract guarantees him 5 mil more if they win a championship and Gordon gets a bonus if he's named All NBA or All Defensive player SO...the fact that they bought-in isn't really as much about TEAM as you suggest.
If you ignore the fact that a player drafted 4th in the NBA draft has enough humility to do the dirty things on the court for his team to win, you don't get what AG is about.
Just like if you think that MPJ can will the Nuggets to a championship to score a bonus is just as rediculous.
@@jamesdomenico2953 This is all made possible by Nikola and the players discussed are all under contract. There are no pure motives here. These players are well paid. If AG could make more, he would make more and that's what he's going to do if he can.
@@dskwared2u610 time will tell. Not sure in the fact that he has bought that it will bring him the stats to make more than his current contract? Are you suggesting that he is hasn't bought in and is just playing the string averaging 16/6/3?? He is ok with those numbers and hopes that gets him a better deal than his current deal? So many superstars have huge egos that do not allow them to buy in and do the dirty things required to win championships at certain junctures in their careers. AG is not that dude. Now if someone was to come along and offer him a Max deal while producing 16/6/3 he would be an idiot to not take the money. Carmelo wouldn't do it, AI wouldn't do it, that list is long of dudes that if they would have accepted a lesser role and did the dirty things they would be champions. Instead they have zero championships.
Mark Jackson is NBAs Tony Dungy/Tampa Bay story. Built the championships, but didnt get to coach the champions he made.
So happy for dude . Robbed of two dunk trophies only fitting he beat the Heat
Suck on that Wade
It didnt just come together. Jerry west and to a lesser degree mark jackson's confidence in curry and thompson's shooting abilities is what pushed this forward. Jerry west laid the foundation for the team. The reason it looks like luck is bc bob meyers is an overrated GM and cant draft as well as Jerry.
Ric got the warriors in 6
Lebron James and Kevin Durant got dragged for what AG and Wiggins are getting praised for lmao what a joke.
I am not sure I understand the comparison here?
Ric is easily the best sports analyst at the moment. Knowledge, humour and ravishing good looks all rolled into one gorgeous specimen.
Hop off meat my boy
His Jokic takes recently have been cringe.
this must be Ric's burner
This HAS to be a Bucher burner or family member. He’s 1 of the WOAT.
Jason Timpf leaves Ric Bucher in the dust
messi just join miami... hes the biggest sport icon in the world... hes gonna change football for ever in america... might take MLS to become the 2nd biggest league in america. kids are playing football more and more in america

I did that, in purpose. Just to make Americans say soccer.
World football won’t fully take off in the US until there are proper academy systems.
AIR GORDON!!!
It`s so Funny how "Bad Mojo" cowherd tries to sound smart after the games are played BUT, his predictions are Mostly WRONG Before the games are played. I guess most of his audience (Including me of course) like to listen to Clowns hahaha
The NBA did not won't the worries to win that's way bad!!! Referring. They could and would beat the Denver...
theres an "edit comment" button for a reason bud
Something just really really unlikable about Ric Bucher.
Lol
What is it because he doesn't kiss LeBron's a** like nick Wright and Shannon Sharpe I bet you like hearing those clowns talk
His face?? 😆
Been waiting every day Since 2017 to grind FS1 on YT every day every segment but now shows like this and Undisputed every national Media YT content is unwatchable even during the NFL this point they’re all washed up starting w florio and Colin
i know any discussion of cp3 on this show will involve ric and colin steadfastly and bitterly denying and downplaying any chance he goes to lakers, like they have done with every major player that might go to lakers. these two are both always so scared if lebron gets any help. but they always want said superstar to go to phoenix so they can stack even more superstars against lebron just like brooklyn, golden state etc did, just stack the deck against lebron because theyre so scared. proof lebron is the goat.
The only oddball here is Porter Jr. Bad player, Nuggets must get rid of him asap
He's their best player. Cause he's 6'10 250 and their SMALL FORWARD. He is the guy that makes them a BIG team. Without him they would be a normal size team again and wouldn't win. He is the guy that averages 15 a game and posts up when Gordon and Jokic are doubled. He he a great defender and rebounder. Also he is their 3rd best interior scorer and dunker. Your'e a dumb denver kid that doesn't know sports or basketball. democrats don't understand team sports.
Porter has done well this post season at being a team player lots of rebounds some key assists but not up to his scoring par
Denver Nuggets players are balanced polarities which means their minds energy is cycling water worlds in perfect balance with the flow
The old universal knowledge is going with the flow
The natural Spiritual flow of music Creation spheres cycling cellular memories of running NBA basketball programming application of consciousness directed energy mirrors playing music together

The 2016 warriors would destroy this nuggets team 😂😂😂😂
Naw
Too bad they don't play in 2023.
Is that the same Warriors team that was getting destroyed by Kawhi until Zaza intentionally injured him?
The Grizzles almost beat them. Denver are a lot better Interior team than those Grizzles.
@@JimBrave-ri1oc the warriors played Memphis in 2015 not 16 and the warriors won in 6 they didn’t almost lose anymore than the nuggets almost lost to Phoenix this year cuz they also win in 6 games 😂
The nuggets haven’t changed the game 😂
LBJ era is defenitly over. It's been a long run. But it's over now
Warriors would beat the Nuggets! Jokic (big) can't guard the perimeter like AD and LeBron (bigs).
Nuggets would destroy the warriors. Bigger at every posiition. Even The Grizzles almost beat them. Remember the Gasol and Randolph Grizzles and they didn't have a 6'10 SF that could post up. While Jokic and Gordon are WAY better at Posting up then add 6'10 post up Porter. Nuggets are the best team in the last 20 years.
AD isn't guarding Jokic. LeBaby isn't guarding Jokic. No one on in GS is stopping Jokic.
This comment is absolute garbage lol
Well it’s not Denver’s fault GS was not able to advance far enough to play them… Hard to imagine the team (GS) that lost to a team (LA) beating the team (Denver) that swept the team (LA) they lost to in any scenario, but will never know.
😢 it's well deserved for the denver nuggets it'll be considered the best nuggets team in history huh? Jokic and murray (coming off a broken leg) 🦵 is the best duo in the nba at least at the moment. We can't talk repeat next year because it'll be some much turmoil and players feeling themselves looking for deals and outside noise 😁😔 but we will see what'll happen.
