Jokic Knows The Nuggets Have A Problem...

[@vlada]

I saw Jokić win 49 games with AG, Facu Campazo, Austin Rivers and Will Barton as starters. 2-3yrs ago. I just saw him finish olympics with most points, rebounds, assists and steals to lead his team to an almost upset of US hall of famers. The only thing he needs is just a mediocre bench performance. When he's off court, team is -7 or -9. If they can keep this just at -2, theyll be golden.

[@bryanfoster326]

Unfortunately, as a nuggets fan, I have a feeling that problem is gonna get worse. Justin holiday was getting such heavy run in the postseason last year because Watson and Braun were shooting so badly we basically had to stagger them just to keep some spacing and basically benched Watson against the t wolves for that issue, now one of those guys is a starter, and we replaced our biggest shooting threat off the bench with another non shooter at the point guard slot. Unless the nuggets got another move up their sleeve, they’re banking on Braun not forgetting how to shoot in the postseason, Peyton Watson developing into a threat in the half court, and/or saric being a lot better than he was on the warriors. Those aren’t good bets, and we need atleast 2/3 of those to happen, or we’re worse off than last year

[@ProjectExMachina]

Literally the only major problem is that Murray was banged up. They lost 20 point lead in game 7 by the yeam that was BUILT to match up with them. If Murray were 10% healthier last season, chances are that they would repeat. Now, they upgraded KCP with CB, Upgraded backup 1 and 5, and got back backup 2 and 4 that they were missing because of injuries.

[@therevival9505]

@@ProjectExMachinaUpgraded KCP with CB? As a Lakers fan, anytime CB was in the game, I was happy. KCP is a huge loss, along with Bruce Brown? Your team wasn’t deep to begin with.

[@ProjectExMachina]

@@therevival9505 KCP was great. But... he is on downward trajectory and too small for contemporary game. If CB starts the whole season, he will gain a bit of the only thing that KCP really had over him - experience. As for not being deep... I'm flabbergasted when someone says that we were deep on our championship run. This season, bar injuries, my prediction is that the depth would be sufficient. Three concerns are: shooting, will Murray bounce bank, will Westbrook's mistakes be too loud. Other than that (and off course injuries and personnel relationships), Nuggets should, at least, not embarrass themselves.

They didn't squander anything. They made moves like signing MPJ to that deal when there was no new CBA in sight and now because of it they lose KCP. Last year they didn't even have an option to keep Bruce Brown because they could only offer him around 8-9 mil per year and he took 25 almost.

This is only my two cents. I am not being overly critical of your comment, but I just don't see it. Denver is pinning their hopes on CB becoming KCP, while Russ and Saric may or may not contribute. I believe Russ can give you something, but I am not so sure about Saric. And they still have the elephant in the room, namely Murray. Is he gonna get out of this funk? To me he looks depressed. With all of the above in mind I just don't see it. Maybe I'm being way too pessimistic, but there are too many questions and Denver as an organisation hasn't answered any of them.

Denver is fine. Their offseason pickups were good but really it just comes down to if the Nuggets are smart enough to make Gordon the co-#2 with Murray.

Addition of Saric is not talked about enough. Denver never had a decent Jokic replacement (playing small ball is not a viable option without good shooters of the bench)Saric is a very good back up to Jokic.

[@animaroku]

The MPJ contract really ruined their team. If they would be able to resign brown and KCP alongside an mpj level talent player, like Derrick jones Junior they would probably have a repeat. They have to make changes because their roster is super short, I don't think they can realistically keep Murray, Gordon and MPJ with these contracts with their production. There are teams that are looking to trade productive NBA players like Portland and Grant or Brogdon and Washington.

I wish they would have gotten WEMBY!

[@bogoljubdjordjevic7528]

We need ant or somebody of that calibre Denver must put money if they wish new ring yes they make it once bcs that was Joker best year and Jamal best year plus we have Bruce now without KCP what is worst trade ever we need him like people in desert water and we can sell MPJ he as I see is not reliable player plus he have all kinds of problems same like Jamal now only AG and Joker are healthy in team! We need star players need to open money bag! We will loose this season for sure I don't see how when other teams make so good trades important trades and we bring nothing old player and some player who I never see how he play!

The west is so stacked now, that I have no favorites tbh, my top team is the thunder currently and Mavs

[@MimieThalie]

It so true and so nice..

[@VojislavVajic-en1wy]

Mpj and jm are little above average player

[@PetarZorić-k3b]

Watching this video brate, Jamal is nice , stop it

[@lakritz1987]

Didn’t Tatum play 17 min a game? Don’t use false narratives

[@lakritz1987]

17 min is fine. US starters played about 22 min a game

Is this video a joke? Do you actually watch basketball? This is ridiculous! Jamal Murray was hurt 10 games remaining in the season. He had zero time to recover for the playoffs..still wasn’t healed by olympics. I can’t wait till next season -

[@skywalker2759]

Nobody has won back to back since KD went to golden state lmao y’all have to stop expecting players to crank out chips like it’s easy lmao 🤣

[@deelak2329]

That's not what he's saying. He's saying how bad murray was. Ita not a stretch to say that if he was close to what he was the previous playoffs the nuggets would have been in the finals

[@denzbarzs7150]

They got worse

[@Mdksupreme1]

The takes in this video are all ridiculously wrong

[@jerryrooster22]

Mal is only going to use this as extra motivation to showout this year. Expect a MPJ leap as well
