Do the Denver Nuggets need a new identity? | DNVR Nuggets Podcast

[@andrewyarosh1809]

A new identity built around Calvin Booth’s major signee, Zeke Nnaji. Given the size land length of the contract Booth and Kronke see a tremendous player worthy ovderpaying for. So let’s sit back and watch Zeke play 35-40 minutes per game, make it a priority to feed him the ball and make it clear to Jokic, Gordon, Murray, Braun and Porter that their job is a to make Nnaji look good and turn him into an All-Star, since that is what Managaement thinks he is.

[@UraStr]

Can't listen to them treating Jamal like Bronny, now we are celebrating hitting shots in practice :D

[@rajivmanohar6065]

It’s pathetic

[@rado22]

This theory of “we’re almost there on rebuilding” is ridiculous. Nuggets have the best rebounder in the game. Jokic masks this team’s deficiencies. If you are bottom ten in rebounding while having a guy who averages most rebounds in the league then the team really sucks on rebounding

[@MikeMike-qb6oy]

Idk Adam most of these attributes you love about other teams are regular season things only. Not discounting that we need to be better in the regular season too, but an undersized try hard getting offensive rebounds is usually unplayable in the playoffs.

[@rado22]

Offense is fine? The ball is popping? When Jokic is On the floor. When he’s Off Nuggets are dead last in offense.

[@SrdanCiric-cu3zd]

The Bulls and the Spurs Dynastie Had Elite defenders....and that Denver hast to do ...when you have in Jokic a unstoppel force in offenes you Just need tu Surround him with great defenders....with that beeing Said the Nuggets need to Break Up the core even If they win this year...mpj and murray with elite defenders a deeper Team and at least one 2 way player for the secound Option

[@ProjectExMachina]

Fight me: Joker, MPJ, CB - Big three of role models

[@Liz_A.5280]

Yes, we need the 2 man game but this year there has to be a different layer. A strong identity to account when Jamal misses games.

[@robahrr9919]

That's why they got Russell Westbrook. I think things will start to gel as the season progresses.

[@michaelplant3036]

nuggets basketball is exciting because we dont shoot 50 3s a game! keep teal badketball alive

[@-ac-8296]

The way in which the DNVR crew praised Mark Daigneault seems a quiet admission that Coach Malone is not an adequate coach

[@Nikola-yo6yf]

We are what we are Denver aint going anywhere this year

[@ajagule]

Not so fast, bro. Season is still young.

[@theinvisibleman-e8v]

All due respect but I don’t think you guys really got what the players were saying, it’s not about identity. However Adam did mention about the joy of playing the game and achieving your role/goal. That’s the key. Also Murray is a worry.

[@tebra643]

The Murray worry

Nuggets, bring some shooting power to the club and one big guy, don't be cheep, you have the best player. When you gonna invest?

[@stevenjmay44]

Mid coach that struggles to adapt or make adjustments with a highly overpaid "2nd star". That's a wrap. Wasting THE GOAT'S prime.

[@outfield1988]

Needs some moves as the Nuggets seem to be bricked.

[@MikeMike-qb6oy]

Feel free to stop being a fan

[@nestnest6278]

Malone is extremely mid.

[@stevenjmay44]

@MikeMike-qb6oy 11 year season ticket holder. Feel free to go troll your uncle's bed, boy. Being a real fan doesn't mean blindly supporting everything that goes on. I'm a big Murray fan, that doesn't mean he's worth a stupid overpay that has ruined their ability to have any roster flexibility. If Malone is so great, why do they trail by double digits in 90% of their games at one point or another? If Malone is so great, how did they give up a 20 point lead in home game 7 to the sorry ass wolves? Love how little boys go on the internet to talk ship hiding behind bs accounts.

[@ProjectExMachina]

😂 one week of good basketball and everything will be forgotten

[@UraStr]

Let's blame the coaching staff for the bench... :D Jamal Murray, the Jokic merchant himself, The Fraud, is not the reason why bench in Denver never worked, except the one year when he was out...the bench is by design responsibility of the second best player on the team. But Murray is bad basketball player and his ceiling is -10/100 without Jokic on the floor

[@nestnest6278]

Why do you guys refuse to call out Malone, ever?

[@superdopehiphop]

“Is it too early for Jamal?” “He usually doesn’t peak or play well until January” While I agree he’s better as he goes on he’s better in December than ppl remember (he’s just mid first 15 games or so of the year in October November). Murray December 2023 (12 games): 30 MPG 22 PPG 5.4 APG 4.5 RBG 2.1 stocks 50/46/90 (61% TS%) +8.3 (raw +/- per game) Nuggets 8-4 (55 win pace) Then Jan 2024 (15 games) 24 7 4 59% TS% (54-55 win pace) Nuggets 10-5 March (10 games) 23 8 5 2 stocks Nuggets 8-2 (66 win pace) April 2024 (mins restriction bc late March injury too, tricked me to being confident in nuggets in playoffs): 5 games (nuggets 4-1) 26 MPG 25 5 4 2.2 stocks 55/47/83 (67% TS%…four 3PM per game) December 7, 2022 to Dec 31, 2022 (9 games) 36 MPG 19.3 PPG 7.3 APG 4.3 RBG 59% TS% +6.4 (raw +/- per game) Nuggets 8-1 (73 win pace) Last 4 games of December 2022? 23 8 5 1.8 stocks 63% TS% (12/26 threes, 24/27 FTs) Nuggets 4-0 January 2023 (14 games) 22 6 5 48/45/92 splits 11-3 (64-65 win pace) Feb 2023 25 8 4 59% TS% PS Adam one of the few people who doesn’t think Bill Simmons is washed (has been for 6-7 years outside of obvious Jokic takes that many idiots in sports media moronically late to) prob bc he loves all the corny LeBron jabs.😅 Adam has at least one every show. “It’s not just an accumulation of talent…LeBron!”🙄 LeBron has been on bad to mid rosters 13/22 yrs and good talented rosters 9/22 yrs! He’s had mostly terrible GM/ownership/FO his whole career outside of 4yrs on Heat! His first 7 yrs he had way worse rosters Jokic’s first 10 yrs (Joker has just had awful injury luck to teammates though Bron had that too in 15 finals with Love Kyrie hurt and in 21 playoffs he and AD hurt). No all time great ever has played with worse talent their first SEVEN YEARS! Please go look at Cavs draft picks his first 7 yrs and the rosters! They’re embarrassing! It’s not an accident they averaged 63 wins his last 2 yrs when he was MVP then he left and they had worst record in NBA 10-11 to 13-14! Even when he was gone they drafted Dion Waiters 2 picks ahead of Dame, 3 picks ahead of Harrison Barnes, and 4 picks before Drummond. Then Bennett over Oladipo and Tristan Thompson over Kawhi/Klay. He then had good to very good rosters 2010-11 to 16-17, then bad to mid rosters 17-18, 18-19 (decent young talent just all hurt along with him), good rosters 19-20, 20-21 (they go b2b if he and AD healthy), then BAD since 21-22. Their 3-15 outside of him and AD have been trash to bad since 21-22! This yr 13/15 guys on their team NEGATIVE BPM! Only Lakers wizards pelicans can say that and they’re tanking or decimated with injuries! I actually blame him though for Lakers bc he knows they’re been dumpster fire post Dr Buss dying 2013 so he should have chose Nuggets/Bucks/Celtics/Clippers/Heat etc. Still sad he didn’t pick Nuggets bc he and Joker would each have 2-3 more🏆now!😡🤬🥵😰. You may not like LeBron now, but I assure you you’d be a fan had he chose Nuggets & he/Jok 1 of GOAT duos and them going for 3rd or 4th title together!

[@rado22]

Malone is great at bringing relevant statistics. He sucks at doing anything about it.

[@ninov5809]

We need a true 3 point shooter of the bench hopefully julien can step up or bogie from hawks but thats a dream Is that even possible and ehat eould ee lose ???????

[@naveengta]

Why was the intro so sad and lacking the usual enthusiasm?

[@SuperVillain-er1lz]

nikola jokic is the biggest stat padder since Westbrook. how come when Westbrook does it y'all hate him but when jokic does it he's the best center of all time? I'd say blow it up. Y'all should trade jokic cuz he's just taking up space on the roster for actual meaningful pieces. What Denver needs is to trade Jokic to Golden State for Draymon Green and Brandin Podziemski. Those two players alone would elevate Jamal Murray and Westbrook. If you guys want to get. out of the west, the only way is to trade the joker to golden state. Just imagine, the warriors having two dudes, steph and jokic, being subpar, slow or small defensively. It's a win for Denver and loss for golden state and y'all would be getting such a great deal out of it.

[@tebra643]

🤣🤣🤣

[@robahrr9919]

Why? So golden state can win more championships? Hell no. Find a different center.

[@SuperVillain-er1lz]

@@robahrr9919 nonono I insist.

[@DjDipChest]

It is hilarious how serious you sound in this take. Fucking wild take brother 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jokić needs help I’d say get Jamal out of town if he cannot find his game by allstar break. But boy this is some dumb shit 🤣

[@superdopehiphop]

He’s obviously being sarcastic ppl and knows how ILLmatic Joker is
