It mean the bench still sucks. Zeke Nnaji needs a better replacement.
Zion got all the calls, joker couldn't buy one
Adam, don't get upset that millennials don't know basic grammar.
Zeke its a useless, run like a fly without head!!!!
Nnaji, the $8M man, was a -10 in 4 minutes. Please explain to us why they gave him that extension.
I think it's time for Braxton Key to get some minutes. I am sick of Zeke…
Imagine Denver when Jokić doesnt play, shell of a Cousins is 10x times a player Zeke is
I would love to see starting five Joker, Gordon, MPJ, KCP and CB untill Jamal come back….
Don’t get this Zeke popping thing. He cant shoot. This dude worked on stupid shit in the off season. Didn’t add any floaters, hooks, or any type of above the rim finishing via lobs. Pretty sure there was an off season video of him doing pull up jumpers. That is not what you want in a back up big. He seems like a great teammate, but this dude looks more like end of bench guy than a nba player
"In season tournament" I mean…STAY OF THE WEEEEEED?????!!! U know that L's count right? We are now 9-3………T-4… Jesus
9-4*f………..k
MPJ missed his last 3 free throws too iirc. And missed at least 2 really short. Something seems off
KCP runs around getting Cardio
Wow, Nnaji got $8000000 from Nuggets, who even can not get single point~~~~That's what the manager has done! Bullshit! Sucks!
Tired of seeing AG fire threes and miss FT. He should never have the green light from deep and forced to shoot granny.
guys Jokic was cooked at the end of the game, and he took 8, 3p…imagine him posting up 8 more time instead of it, he'd see 4 baskets out there…GUYS calm down…until Murray comes back, if MPJ plays like he plays, and bench continues to suck, he's gonna take 3s just so that he can rest from time to time, because other than that, it's him every possession, and not the easy stuff. It's him mostly literarily putting both the ball and his defender into the basket…really bad take from you guys, disappointing…
EDIT: To Adams point. Maybe he does need the three pointer against Minnesota, but… why cant MPJ or KCP shoot those attempts. I would really like to see what happens if KCP gets more 3 point attempts, especially corner threes.
Referees hate the Nuggets, but it really doesnt matter, because they still cant shoot free throws and they still cant shoot three pointers.
And now I finally know what has been bothering me with the Nuggets offense. Last year the Nuggets wouldn't shoot many three pointers, but they would create good looks and make 'em. Somehow they always managed to find that one guy who is hot from three point land. This season they can't buy a three, but they shoot so many. At this point I feel like Jokic has to cut back on his attempts.
I'm so done with Zeke. I just cannot deal with him and his minutes anymore. Let's bring Braxton Key and see what he got because surely he can't be worse than Nnaji
Jokic was only +5 in his minutes…
The nuggets murdered the Pelicams, but MPJ minutes were -15 ahaha. Down CJ McCollum, Trey Murphy, and Jose Alvarado, rooks and young guys cooked the champs
9-3 and y'all panicking😂. Miami was 0-4 to start the season and now 7-4. Bench was awful tonight except for CB. Sign and trade some cheap reliable players. These young kids won't do any shit against good teams😂
I will continue to find people saying Zeke is terrible funny because especially in this game the bench minus Braun did nothing offsensively in the first half. They actually played ok defense but couldn't sink any shots and Peyton even went hero ball and failed a couple times. Still most Nuggets fans are acting like Clippers or Suns fans who think the world is over because they don't have a perfect record when its not even a quarter of the way through just the regular season.
Oh and KCP is clearly hurt after last night when he was limping at points in the game and Jokic has back and hand problems that are starting to show.
Still need Murray to win a championship. Ain’t nuthin changed. 🤷♂️
The period made a podcast fun, after such L 😅
Adam is exactly right. Guys, Jok isn't doing anything that isn't planned. His 3 shooting isn't elite. We're seeing the MVP practise in-game. There's no settling. We're seeing greatness!
I am done waiting for Zefe at all. And also PWat has to rewired his mind NOW or go to G league or watever until he put himself together. They cannot go into rotation in a game like this in this condition, too much burden to Jokic, he claerley run out of gas on the last minute.
The idea that playing really hard in 7 games early season is a bad idea is ridiculous. It is at most 7 games if we win the the cup.
Still having troubles with the backup center
I watch winners lounges live for the vibes, and watch losers lounges the morning after so I have time to sleep on it and not be overly emotional over 1 loss.
1 – PWat needs to sit and they need to bring Tyson back. He couldn't be any worse than Watson, who other than blocking a couple shots a game is pretty bad.
2 – Zeke ultimately will need to be replaced via trade or maybe draft. Dude seems like PWat who just doesn't get the game. If Joker goes down for any length of time this team is HOSED.
3 – MPJ is still the weak link of the starting 5. His contract will make it hard for them to keep KCP & AG, who are undeniably better and more valuable players. Trade MPJ for a couple of good assetts, maybe at center and guard who are solid defenders and smart, and playing with Jokic will make them look better than they are on whatever crap team they are currently on. Strawther is a healthier MPJ clone who should just be inserted and allow him to make mistakes. Won't be any worse mistakes than what Mike makes now.
4 – I hope they don't overwork Jokic because of this dumb Midseason Tourny. Not worth it, guys! Long term thinking needs to be made; the Larry O is what matters.
5 – Mal is HUGE to this team. Nuff said. Those of us knew this & anyone who doesn't get these struggles that are happening wasn't paying attention.
