Why are the Nuggets STRUGGLING? 🤔 + More faith in the Lakers or Suns? 👀 | NBA Today

[@TheBestMovieAlive]

Jamal Murray needs to play much better. Murray is a max player and he is playing like a bust. I have no idea what happened with him. Jokic needs help and he isn’t getting it.

[@Yeezydude7115]

In the NBA you need a bench, the league is too deep.

[@daninspiration4064]

Just let them play the lakers 82 game they will go undefeated

[@chrisgzm8265]

😂

[@dereksimmons2492]

Everybody wants the Lakers to go 0-82. Even Laker fans.🏀

[@Aaron-du6iq]

81-1, but it'll be a competitive gentlemen's sweep

[@blagojevukicevic8912]

Trade Murray

[@IamHailey8]

Can't until end of the season because he just signed the extension. Plus who would take him on max contract??

[@patrickpitamber]

Jamaal Murray is the problem he's so inconsistent especially after a big fat contracts

[@BiscayneBeast]

Jamal Murray is cooked, giving him all that money was a mistake dude peaked 2 years ago and it's all down hill from now.

[@austingreen1274]

Keeping Spears and letting go of Zach Lowe is inexcusable. Cost be damned!

[@TheMissiIe]

ESPN must have a quota where they need to have 90% blk employees. I swear they only fire wht guys

[@dmitryowens]

​@@TheMissiIe Oh, those poor oppressed white men 😄

[@TheBestMovieAlive]

2:00 did that guy just say Denver isn’t cracking? It isn’t L.A but I live in Denver and there is a lot of things you can do. Los Angeles is 3.5 times bigger than Denver so obviously there is more stuff to do in L.A. This isn’t the first time people in the media bashed Denver. Stephen a smith did it before too.

[@Pinkgreen190]

Agreed. I went there for a game and there was a lot to do.

[@jett742]

Love the city of Denver

[@InfiniteCoreXD]

They still gonna get Aaron Gordon back too they’ll be good

[@Binnieishere]

They gave away their best defensive player and best veteran presence in the summer. On top of that, MPJ is not good and Ive even said he was overpaid when he got that extension 3 years ago and Murray suddenly got his powers sapped by the Monstars. They need to retool their roster big time.

[@bee1979]

Because every other contender has at least 2 all star or 2 all nba players. Joker is trying to do the most with the least.

[@alvin081988]

I hate to say this....We need to trade Murray

[@Eltardotv]

If they held a team meeting Jokic would call out Murray 😂

[@DAFR2849]

The Nuggets are “struggling” but the Lakers aren’t? Lakers just lost two home games in a row, the Media obviously hate Denver because they always destroy the Lakers.

[@mattr27]

The media does not hate Denver. They've been hyping them up the last few seasons non stop and unanimously say Jokic is the best player. Now, Milwaukee is a team the media hates.

[@donovanyoung244]

In terms of expectations, yes the Nuggets are struggling. lakers are 4th while everybody thought they’d be a .500 team. And there’s 28 other teams just cause they beat the Lakers doesn’t mean anything. Have a better take than this.

[@vic3knight310]

that does not change the fact that the nuggets are indeed playing below expectation

[@InfiniteHaters]

@@mattr27 they literally said the nuggets were done after being 0-2 at the start of season🤣. They hate small market team w bigs running it.

[@funckypickle77]

It’s hard to argue the Nuggets aren’t struggling. Especially considering they’re a recent champion with the best player in the NBA.

[@Pinkgreen190]

Jamal Murray is the elephant 🐘 in the room.

[@SneakerheadAD]

Perk been listening to Peekaboo I see 🤣

[@denvercity9105]

How perk day it new generation SOFT AF! Sad if we the nuggets waste Jokic greatness on Murray’s laziness . For as long as I known Murray is still trying find himself haha still trying get in shape hahaha but let’s extend him lmao

[@zaytowven1]

Denver Needs BI

[@oag1679]

i don’t hate it ima need herb in tha trade tho 😂

[@zaytowven1]

@ facts tho lol

[@stevenmark4407]

TRADE MURRAY. Idc get that mf off the team he hasn’t been good since 2023 playoffs (at least consistently). Hopefully by the trade deadline they get a better number 2 for Jokic, maybe get BI from the pelicans.

[@jvwilli7]

We can’t trade him. It’s literally not possible. But thanks for the idea.

[@robert-surcouf]

You cant 'give 120 millions per year to three role players (Murray, Porter and Gordon) and expect to have enough money for the bench. At least, the nuggets is another example of not overpaid players, especially if they are just role players.

[@dipsetkory7964]

They didn't even mention OG dropped 40 on them..... #ESPNSUCKS

[@focuz4899]

They're not winning another championship in this era anyway.

[@tee_swag]

Ask Jafail Murray

[@ebonywagner1682]

When they loose they crash out

[@mlc7million]

No, you had great chemistry, continuity, and defense with KCP, Green, and Brown. You let those guys go. Welcome to what happens when you don’t value your role players. Following the steps of one hit wonders and champs LBJ Lakers, Giannis Bucks, and Jokic Nuggets. The Bucks and Lakers are much further away from ships, Denver is a worst version of itself with less chemistry than before and won’t be knocking on the ship door anymore. Boston followed the Golden State, Bulls, San Antonio old Laker, Celtics, and Detroit model which gives you the best chance to repeat or win multiple championships. What’s strange is you have these great role players, let them walk, only to search years to find the players you let walk away. Baffling to me. Great GMs understand star power, but also understand the importance of great role players.

[@PhillipPassProject]

If Denver has to get back on track what do the Lakers have to do??

[@vanjanja]

LeCry need more help... so sad

[@RandomCitizen014]

Because they only play the Lakers four times in the regular season

[@jamiethorpe5431]

lol came to say this. They are perfectly content being a mid tier team as long as they beat Lakers. I hate that the Lakers are being tormented by the least aggressive boogeyman in the NbA.

[@ON-od3if]

@@jamiethorpe5431 its pretty crazy how everyone on denver become allstars other than murray and jokic against the lakers, while murray and jokic also cooking the lakers.. i'm also been a lebron guy too, and shits depressing aff 😭

[@PennyFitzgeraldFan]

Cause they rely on Jokic to much.

Are yall saying Lebron's daddy are struggling now after they beat up on the Lakers a couple of days ago?

Nuggets not struggling, they blew out the Lakers and then got blew out by the Knicks and the Knicks will get blown out by another team. That's part of basketball. Nuggets are 9 and 7. 3 games away from top spot. I swear ESPN just be trying to make anything a headline when it have about 70 games still to play.

[@strawhatsanji4985]

@CannedHam2479 Bro, that happens to literally every team. They win games without their star player. Not saying they're the best team but. They are literally 3 games behind top spot. Can we stop exaggerating until teams actually have a bad record.

[@CannedHam2479]

@@strawhatsanji4985 Bro, theyve lost 2 of 3, including losing to the MID Mavs minus Luka plus getting blown out by the Knicks last night. Theyre the 8 seed right now and barely above .500.. Both the Nuggets and Lakers are struggling mightily right now tbh

How did he get expose? He didn't even have a bad game? 22 7 7 is pretty good. Definitely below what he's been averaging but russ and Murray also stepped up aswell. Their bench lacks scoring is all it is 💯
