Watching Nuggs games this season I kinda have a feeling this team is actually scary good. You can just see what it can be. Even with his shenanigans, Russell plays well, he adds tension to the game and Denver needed that for years now and gives me the feeling this team already has character. Jok is just to calm and focused these last years that it sometimes cradles team to sleep, energy wise. And the biggest addition to this team this year seems to be the arrival of AG and MPJ! Somehow both of them seem more confident, one with shooting and the other with his positioning on the court, but both of them seem like they finally realized their importance when on the floor and how to contribute without forcing it but in the flow of the offence. They both seem more relaxed when shooting. People expect a lot of Saric, but he is a Balkan player, and that almost always means he can only play a team game and set offence. He will be great by January. But I do think he needs minutes with Jok on the floor as a 4. I would actually love to see a lineup of Jok, Saric, Gordon, MPJ, Murray now that AG got rid of that little glitch he had in his shot.
MPJ & Jamal are unfortunately too soft on defense. One of those guys - or both - probably need to migrate to get true defenders instead. That's why Nuggets struggling. Not scoring. Soft defense. Russ needs everyone buying into playing aggressive but smart defense. And himself driving to the rack more than outside shots. The good news is Nuggets can see how close they are. Even a guy like Zach Collins would be an improvement over MPJ. Defensive mentality lost in the small forward role wasn't addressed by Westbrook in a hybrid role. Pope & Brown were covering slop of Murray and MPJ. So it still hasn't been addressed fully.
“Russell plays well” lmao dude is shooting 23% FG 21% 3PT 67% FT, with a horrible Assist to TO ratio. How good is that Mary Jane in Colorado these days? Your team is cooked if they don’t cut him.
constant questions about the first couple of games... the man gained weight, the brain needs to be able to adapt to the new circumstances. definitely for such physical precision. pure physiology. and now it starts
Braun has been playing well but he is getting full of himself whenever he steals ball by trying to dunk on everyone. When the right call would be to pass the ball to someone else. Quite bold and stupid of him.if mpj missed shots this game it would have been similar situation just like with Minnesota. Idk why didn't anyone tell that to Braun. Others gotta step up too especially the whole bench@@Cjust15
Getting posterized is one thing but if you step up to someone afterwards then you deserve what's coming in the heat of the moment. If Rudy didn't do anything....bro might as well just wear a dress and get on his knees lol.
Nuggets' NBA games are still preseason mode games... Could have won them all... but it is important to simulate an interesting, balanced league which it in reality is not. Nugget can beat them all being down 10-15, most of them teams we cam beat with comeback wins being down even 25p. That must be pretty dramatical and frustrating to other franchises. 😊
So Jamal Murray has been the defensive liability ingredient. He's probably not ready to go / came back too soon. But MPJ needs to use his height on defense better. Sometimes he's a liability himself. Westbrook will always cover his mistakes on defense, something not getting the attention. Without Westbrook's defense, Nuggets are really hopeless. The best player on Earth Jokic and Westbrook need to be the primary distributors so defensive sets are correspondingly ready. I'd rather see Ben Simmons than MPJ unknown effort on defense game to game. Spurs won many chips in low scoring games by defense determining the outcomes. Trying to outscore opponents doesn't work when your defense is soft. There's scorers all over the league. Pretending the 3 is a solution is Fool's Gold (Nuggets pun intended). Defense!!!
Trade MPJ while his offensive skills are still high. Nuggets need perimeter and small forward post defenders. Ben Simmons and others would make Nuggets instantly better. A three point shooter isn't worth much when they give up scoring on the other end. Unless the rest of the roster is covering. Even Bobby Portis would be an instant upgrade to Nuggets vs MPJ. MPJ in a different system might work more consistently. Like a small ball high scoring team. Coming in for Durant perhaps.
MPJ AND JAMAL HAS TO ASSESS THEIR ABILITY AND OUTPUT , DOES THEIR OWN JUDGEMENT SHOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO LOWER THEID ASKING PRICE TO KEEP THEIR CORR GROUP RATHER THAN BE SELFISH WHEN THEY ARE NOT THAT GOOD REALLY🙏🙏
Jokic is the best all-around basketball player I’ve seen in a long time even Hakeem who I think is the best center overall of all time except for jokic could not do better with this team. He didn’t have a three-point shot. A better bit on defense.
Great stuff MPJ!
Look, Aron made a god job in the every game!!!!
And the secret player beside is Russell!!! I believe in this team!!!
Porter should play every playoffs series like this

MPJ has been good recently we need Jamal to get better because right now he can’t shoot at all.
He absolutely could believe Jokic's stats. I mean, he wasn't even surprised.
constant questions about the first couple of games... the man gained weight, the brain needs to be able to adapt to the new circumstances. definitely for such physical precision. pure physiology. and now it starts
jokic is carrying you dudes hard lol
thats what the mvp does
Braun and Strawther have been playing great basketball I'm very surprised no one Is bringing that up .
Braun has been playing well but he is getting full of himself whenever he steals ball by trying to dunk on everyone. When the right call would be to pass the ball to someone else. Quite bold and stupid of him.if mpj missed shots this game it would have been similar situation just like with Minnesota. Idk why didn't anyone tell that to Braun. Others gotta step up too especially the whole bench@@Cjust15
exactly what I'm thinking... every team is bringing someone, NYC Randle, Dallas got Thompson... and Denver gets Westbrick, gtfo
@@Cjust15 Julian fouls way too much. If he can fix that then he could be good.
I’m still pissed at Rudy disrespecting Braun. What a punk Rudy is

MPJ cornrows were wrapped too tight

Defense!!!
Do they only interview porter post game when they win? Shouldnt he get post game interviewed after every loss too given his contract?
As soon as you start paying his contract, then you can make MPJ talk whenever you want
I say less 3's and more 2 ball. You got the best 2 ball man in the game and you want to Jake more 3's up that cost you that game 7?

This guy needs to be gone. Overpaid employee.
How can you watch that game and think that. Hes the only bonafide shooter we have.
yeah 100% not lol
Don’t comment again on this team
He's the best shooter in this team
Nope
