It’s ridiculous that Joker needs to put 35/20/15 on a nightly basis in order for Denver to be in position to win. Jamal and MPJ as max contracts MUST step up asap or another year will be wasted.

I agree man I been saying this. Especially when Joker was out, only game they won was when Russ got 30+ minutes

[@daddyfuse50]

Whats crazy is Westbrook looks solid on denver...because he can get by at least SOME defenders. If jokic had a quick all-star guard they'd be on a 3peat rn headed to a 4th. It just sucks man.

[@calebstephan2083]

​@@williamroper5422he doesnt block shots but he still is good defensively in fact nuggets defensive ratings skyrocket when jokic is on the floor. Thats becsuse he gets alot of defensive rebounds and deflections. He was like top 5 in deflection last season. Murray on the other hand is just trash defensively. Doesnt help in anything that has to do with defense. Whenver murray was under the posted they drive to him to draw a foul.

When jokic said “we need to be more consistent” it reminded me of his interview after his championship win. In which he was asked what causes his skill. He answered “I’ve not changed the way I’ve played really, since entering the league. I guess you could say the reason we won was because of consistency.” Hopefully his team can hear that, and apply it the same way he can. Tough loss I believe our Nuggets will recover.

[@Jistsu77]

Joker it's too late. You had to be more vocal this summer when these clowns from Nuggets front office wanted to give him the money, it's too late now. We're stuck with Murray and we have to ride out his contract, sadly. I like the kid, he's charismatic and always funny and positive, but he's not a good basketball player, his maximum is being a third option on any team and that's it.

[@RS-ol8or]

Knew Mal was gonna have a bad game. I guess his mindset is Have a great game, take 3 or 4 off…similar to MPJ. These bums gotta go. Murray doesn’t have it anymore. If anyone’s been watching the past few games, he doesn’t have that quickness anymore. He can’t get by even average defenders. If Booth was the one who pushed to sign Murray early, he’s also gone. The only way Calvin might be saved is if Josh pushed for an early signing. But between Mal & Saric, who honestly looks close to retirement, Booth truly has done a horrendous job f roster construction.

murray had a bubble season when they got the chip. and thats it

[@calebstephan2083]

Crazy how nuggets has one of the best play makers in nba history, one of the best rebounder in nba history and overall one of the most skilled nba player in history yet they arent even in a position to win another chip currently just because nuggets overpay their role players so much they dont have any money left to get good bench units and a reliable second option for the team. Bruh imagine jokic playing with fox etc. They would be averaging 35 pts a game and jokic would be averaging 20 assists. I hate people that keep bring up murray performance in the championship run. Literally any top player in the league woukdve played as well with jokic if not better due to jokic getting them open shots which is what he was doing mosg of the time during that post season. Murrsy has proven he is dog shit without jokic. Look at his performance in the plympics. He single handedly made canada lose the olympic eventhough they had the second lost stacked roster after usa.
