Nikola Jokić’s Denver Nuggets look like a dynasty, Russell Wilson to Steelers could work | THE HERD
Even though the Niners and the Chiefs ended up in the Super Bowl it was a little bit of a surprise I mean the Chiefs only averaged 22 points a game this year they scuffed it offensively middle of the pack Baltimore I thought was much better all year long Miami
Buffalo couple of the very dangerous teams San Francisco I didn’t really see Brock prie hoisting a trophy Philadelphia started on fire I bought into the Cowboys hype for a few weeks but in the NBA Denver’s going to win barring an injury back to back titles joic yesterday 32 points 16 rebounds and get
This 16 assists that would have been a great night for Magic Johnson The Warriors had been RedHot got a couple of young players playing well their rotation working fine they were at home they got up to a great start and lost to this Denver team for the ninth time in
10 tries they can’t solve them they don’t match out with them and the Warriors 2022 won the championship but joic is different this Denver team they’re the Spurs with Tim Duncan perfectly built roster get ready for a dynasty it’s not going to be sha Kobe Dynasty it’s not going to have the
Drama of the Michael Jordan Dynasty or the heel Dynasty and we’ve had some fun ones but joic is the best player in the league without question joic and Murray are the best combo they have the best starting five plus minus only Boston is close and Aaron Gordon’s length
Defensively and Michael Porter can be streaky but he’s gifted offensively add in a very well- coached team with just enough depth they’re winning the title and I I don’t I unless barring an injury Celtics are the only starting five that’s even close and this Denver team is actually built for the postseason
More than the regular season why because in the postseason you shrink your rotation so it’ll be perfect you’ll get about three guys off the bench Christian Browns one of the guys will come off the bench Reggie Jackson will give you a few points Off the Bench but we talk so much
About mobility and I’m guilty of this I spend so much time in the NBA talking about a collection of all stars and mobility and this team has one Allstar in 10 years it’s yish Jamal Murray in the crowded West with all those great guards never made an All-Star team
They’re high IQ huge just enough depth can be great defensively in spots with a bunch of Shooters and again they’re really built for the playoffs right now they’re a number three seed I wouldn’t take anything from that when the Bucks won a title they were a three seed uh
This uh Warriors have won a title as a three seed the Spurs during Duncan era weren’t always a number one seed and they actually right now Denver’s got a higher winning percentage than they had last year so this team is stocked they are perfectly constructed just two or
Three guys off the bench once you get to the playoffs it’s an eight-man rotation you’re not playing the ninth and the 10th guy um and I think the West is better than the East I don’t buy Milwaukee right now Nicks need another star they didn’t get one at the trade
Deadline to limited team offensively you saw it again this weekend against Boston they just have limitations Boston can make things a little uncomfortable but the Lakers they don’t have a yic they don’t they don’t have the shooting uh Phoenix I’m not sure they can figure out how to stop joic either Golden State
Just doesn’t match up with them uh this team is really special and and again don’t be fooled by the number three seed it’s Tim’s Duncan Spurs that doesn’t necessarily unlike the NFL where the Chiefs are great for Ratings Taylor Swift Mahomes Andy Reid very clever
Midwest I don’t think this is much of a ratings grab though I enjoyed watching them watch the entire game yesterday but um get ready for a dynasty because that’s what it looks like it’s not about egos it’s not about Allstars size in the right spaces little Off the Bench
Multiple Shooters well coached no ego and I like watching Denver I know a lot of people don’t think aesthetically there much to watch it’s a little old school basketball I’m not somebody that believes the old teams would beat the new teams I don’t think older players
Were better than the new players I don’t think the leagues ever had more talent but they got a little old school and I love watching them and this is what a dynasty looks like I was thinking this morning how would the heedles have matched up with this team who would have
Stop yic they didn’t have a center they had no size they weren’t great at point I mean it’s just they just do and Golden State right now is playing great they match up with everybody except the Nuggets speaking to Denver Russell Wilson a little birdie told Chad
Johnson he said this on his PO a little birdie told him Russell Wilson is going to the Steelers so first of all the Steelers have an excellent roster and they’re bad at quarterback in the AFC you got to do better than Ken he pick it at quarterback so this is
Actually a good fit now I said before I went in vacay I said I thought Justin fields at quarterback was a bad fit in Pittsburgh why he’s not a refined quarterback he’s not efficient Russell Wilson is refined he wins he’s efficient he’s accurate he is a defined player we
Know what he is he’s not in his prime but he’s not that far past it the Steelers frankly on offense could use his commitment could use his maturity could use his experience and could use his accuracy now as an offensive coach Shawn pyton I can get Russell kind of
Frustrating you but with a defensive coach Mike Tomlin Russell doesn’t turn the ball over that much he can play within a system and do some ad living also when Russell went to Denver he was viewed as a savior that’s not what he is here Pittsburgh Pittsburgh’s winning with Kenny
Picket he they don’t need a savior but because of how many players they traded to get Russell and because of his contract he was this sort of Messiah this Savior and he was a culture Builder like they built the whole culture around him that’s not what he was in Seattle
And he got the two Super Bowls and that’s not what he would be in Pittsburgh he’s not going to be a savior they have the longest tenard coach in the NFL with Mike Tomlin and one of the things and I’ve been critical of Tomlin at times one of the things I think he
Does pretty well he builds a culture he’s an alpha he’s like Mike Vel there’s a toughness to the Steelers but what they aren’t offensively is like dependable and efficient and consistently accurate and they don’t get the ball to their Stars I never worry about that with Russell Wilson again was
Sha Payton everything in this world’s about fit I was just talking to somebody about this yesterday outside of sports about in life it’s just about where you happy what what generates interest where are you motivated who is your boss fit outside of a couple of guys like momes
Or a Josh Allen Lamar Jackson who would probably work anywhere go look at Tua he got the right coach from Flores he was a bust to Mike McDaniel he’s getting MVP chatter and Pro Bowl votes I don’t think Russell and Shawn Payton was ever built to be great
Their personalities don’t work one guy is Harsh and intense Sean one guys optimistic almost to a point of nausea at times overly optimistic let’s ride that can wear people out some teammates out be that as it may Pittsburgh’s Got Talent they are loaded on both sides but what they don’t have is
Dependability maturity experience efficiency accuracy that is exactly what Russell Wilson provides Arthur Smith is the new offensive coordinator he’s not going to ask Russell to throw it 45 times that’s not what he’s going to do he had Ryan tanah Hill when he was OC in Tennessee they were a run team first
Play action pass with a quarterback in tanah Hill that could move and was experienced so this one feels like it works you you can’t listen if you’re going to go up against Mahomes and Josh Allen and Lamar and burrow stop convincing yourself Kenny piet’s the guy
You got to have a playmaker back there so I like it uh so I think the Steelers works it feels like it works again Justin Fields is not a defined or ruined player yet he’s still growing I think he’s better served getting an offensive coach somewhere somebody’s got to figure
Him out he had a defensive coach in Chicago he’s plateaued his passing numbers actually went down plateaued they’re flat running numbers went down slightly he’s plateaued he needs an offensive coach in an offensive culture Russell Wilson got the two Super Bowls in the defensive culture he struggled immediately with an offensive
Coach okay back to a defensive coach in Mike Tomlin and I’ve been saying this now for two years the Steelers are like the East Coast version of the Packers always have talent draft and develop as well as anybody in this league last year’s draft for the Steelers once again
It was another good one for the Packers for the Steelers it’s what those organizations do so Russell’s going to have talent that that’s indisputable they have two receivers I like in fact one of them the kid from Georgia is unbelievable they finally threw the ball
To him at the end of the season that’s why the third string quarterback supplanted Kenny picket he got the right guy the ball they have two running backs Warren Naji Harris they have a tight end I like from Penn State the offensive line last year was better so Arthur
Smith is a more than capable offensive coordinator this is a really good fit I know roll your eyes thought a lot about it I think it works hi everybody it’s me Uncle Colin subscribe here to get the latest from the herd including exclusive behind the scenes videos and more
Wherever you may be however you may be watching thanks again for making us part of your day
Colin Cowherd breaks down why the Denver Nuggets are far and away ahead of the rest of the NBA at this moment. With teams like the Milwaukee Bucks, the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers faltering, Nikola Jokić and his team look consistent, and are building a dynasty in Denver. Plus, Colin heard a rumor that Russell Wilson could be leaving the Denver Broncos for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Watch as he lays out why this might be a perfect fit, or at least a better fit than previously rumored Steelers’ option Justin Fields.

What do you think of your first love?💋
How do you spend your morning hours?💋
Don’t sleep on the clippers and the claw
No one can figure out how to stop jokic. Most unsolvable superstar of all time
It’s crazy as sounds I actually agree with cowherd with Wilson fitting with the Steelers he only had 26/8
As a Dubs fan, nobody is stopping Denver. ❤
Let us not forget how clutch Russ’ agent was for getting him that last big ole bag of moneys! 😂 💰
Why don't you talk about an elite scorer with a max contract MPJ . The elite scorer tonight was at the level of the last 15 games. The elite shooter has the best haircut, graceful gait, has a good manager. He hasn't broken a sweat yet – he positions himself gracefully and stands calmly in attack, while Jokić guards in defense. The elite scorer has a good 3-point percentage of 16.7 percent – he can go up 7-1 improved his 3-point shooting and had 1 assist
Russell Wilson has a record of 17-27 in his last 3 seasons. Can we stop the idea he still wins in this league? Seahawks have been better without him and everybody loved Denvers roster before he joined. He's finished and we all need to accept that
Title contenders
My Favourite:Clippers
Contenders:Nuggets, Celtics
Missing 1-2 pieces: Thunder, Cavs, 76ers, Suns, Wolves, Knicks, Kings, Pelicans
Need A massive overhaul to contend again: Warriors, Bucks, Lakers, Heat
Wilson will never be love as locker room guy and not a leader. Lob win created those win more than him.
As long as Jokic is healthy the Nuggets will be perennial contenders for next 6-8 years. After that it depends on his health and weight.
"Russell Wilson wins" 😂
Who can anybody confidently think can beat the Nuggets 4 times in a series.
He said Payton and Russ we’re an ideal fit last year 😂😂😂
This fetish that people have a European nba dynasty is funny
Like there is a reason why that’s hasn’t happened yet
you think russel wilson is refined lmao 😂 bruh couldn’t even play better than jameis winston in payton’s offense okay colin
Russell Wilson doesn't fit steelers culture he's soft. Not only that why would the steelers want a piece of that contract? Lmao
Russ ain’t been winning
I don't get why most people think watching the Nuggets is boring, I'd rather watch them over any team in the league. They are fascinating to me because of one person.
S. T. F. ⬆️ about Sean Peyton , Russell And the broncos
Run it back
Collin needs to swallow his spit then talk🤤🤐
The Nuggets will face, and beat, the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals
It doesn't matter who comes out of the East, they aren't beating the West
Anyone trading for Russ shouldn‘t get a Job ever again
I want to see Nuggets vs Clippers in the WCF and Celtics vs Bucks in the ECF.
Clearly didn't watch Russ last year. 75% of the sacks are on russ for not throwing the damn ball.
Wi
Who cares were Wilson goes. We’re talking about the nuggets. Wilson sucks.
Buying into the cowboys hype like a sped
I was mad confused last night when i saw the nuggets were healthy and also underdogs like they’re not much better than the warriors
Here he goes again comparing again and he's always wrong
The same man said chiefs wasn't a dynasty until they win 3. Pump your breaks
Colin throws around the dynasty label around a little too loosely. Let the Nuggets win a few more championships and then put them in a dynasty discussion.
