How Important Is Russell Westbrook to the Nuggets Title Chances?
The Denver Nuggets have signed Russell Westbrook and Dario Saric as their key free agency signings and this has given the Denver Nuggets bench a brand new identity. How good could they be?
Westbrook and Jokic bother offer unique traits as players but how will the work together? Can they lift up the Nuggets when the starters are mostly out of the game?
The Nuggets are going to be dependent on their bench more than every with KCP’s departure…but could they sneakily be better?

Westbrook a liability in any playoff team. Look at his shooting lastyear playoffs and the year before that and the year before that . This guy always gets a pass
Swipa you one of the best guys on locked on Nuggets but the camera and lag is always very bad when you are on 🫤
Now if only they had kept KCP, the Nuggets would still be the team to beat.
These Nuggets will have many more good stagger options than last season. Also, they'll be big enough to match the Timberwolves, both offensively and defensively. My hope and expectation is that Murray will get far fewer minutes and that he will take more of a role position, coming in when they need three point shots.
Happy birthday Swipa
Russell anchors our bench and gives us depth. Go Nuggets!!
He’s gotta lock in this season, he can’t make as many mistakes on this team, or take as many bad shots. His upside with us is crazy high imo if everything breaks right
It never gets talked about enough but Russ makes bigs better and improves their career. Just ask Steven Adams, Daniel Gafford, or Zubac.
Joker is gonna be the best big that Russ has ever had.

Key to our 2nd Championship is Coach Malone giving our Young Guns the minutes, chances and opportunities to play, succeed, fail (and learn), and find their confidence during the regular season. Even if we have to go into the Playoffs as a 3, 4 seed instead of a 1…..
Let the Young Guns Grow. Nuggs have Champion DNA, the Playoffs will be our time if we have confident Young Guns!

By the way Jamal Murray is the Mile High Mamba! He was injured, True Nuggets Fans Believe in You Jamal!
The Hunt for #🏆2 is on!
Man stop looking at the Regular Season playoffs playoff’s
Watson is skinny man
Porter missed everything in the playoffs sir
Lets see them try to hide those small guards now 👨🏽🍼👨🏽🍼👨🏽🍼 Surrounding Russ with all these athletic wings is a match made in heaven.
As the Lakers fan, I’m so happy that now we can finally beat Denver😂
And we loose in second round gg we fcked
Swipa telling us ..he telling us .. lol swipa u become dso delusional bro😢
In the season when Denver won the title, Russ had games with 30, 37, 28 Pts against Phoenix in the playoffs, with an excellent 3-point shot. Everyone is used to Russ being told that he forgot to play basketball, when in fact he was playing with Clippers players who are either injured or spending more time thinking about their podcast.
Murray has to stay healthy and play better.
