Jokic’s 48 points highlight Denver Nuggets bounce back win | DNVR Nuggets Postgame
Nikola Jokic has scored 104 points in about the last 24 hours. He is on a scoring tear that cannot be described. The Nuggets needed a bounce-back in a big way after maybe the toughest loss in the Jokic era despite him setting a career-high last night. The Nuggets did indeed bounce back in a big way with a 30-point win over the Atlanta Hawks. What can we take away from the win? Did Jokic calling out his teammates’ work? Adam Mares, Brendan Vogt, and Duvalier Johnson come to you LIVE from DNVR HQ to break down everything you need to know in this postgame edition of the DNVR Nuggets Podcast!

Just commenting to say DLineCo is my favorite guy on the pod to counteract @Faaababaa. God forbid a man is exuberant and optimistic. I love you DLine!
All the Nuggets are good again! 73:41 minutes down only 481:19 minutes till 555. This was a great win and hopefully one they can use as a blueprint on how intense they need to play defense at all times.
Trade Jokic or Murray
I feel like Junior is right in the edge of becoming that #2. He's playing inside and its opened up alot of things for him but he hasn't quite put it all together yet. Really think we haven't seen his best yet though. We need it because I'm afraid Murray's career is going in the opposite direction. Great to see Pickett sink a couple too. Hope he can build some confidence. There is some serious potential with Westy and Joker too. They continue to look more comfortable playing together. Its amazing how different the team looked tonight versus last
Julian Strawther should be traded mid season.
Pickett is only in his second season – 2023-24 being his rookie season.
Brodie should start let Murray come off the bench…check his ego…if Ginobli can do it…Murray can also
By benching someone Nikola was for sure thinking about Jamal, MPJ and the rest…
Nice defence by Russell. Go Nuggets family,best greets from Serbia 🇷🇸
Julian played great today. Sucks cause we expect a lot from a young player, but hopefully he can be a positive playoff player
Can we trade the fans that won't shut up about trading our core players?
Honestly, I just want Westbrook to get Jamal's minutes
Jok didn’t have his 100 pts in one game vs the wizards… but he did have his 100 pts in two games vs the wizards AND the hawks👀 #goatić
Jokic has to score a lot because his top team mate is not contributing.
Lmfao first off Saturday was the 1st time the nuggets didn't win or look good without Murray so let's be real and not try and act like Sundays game was the 1st time they played well and won WITHOUT Murray's sorry ass
btw Malone said in the locker chat that he tried to give Jok 50
Trade Jamal @denverniggets🙏
Porter dunks!!
Nuggets are having more fun without Murray, can't wait for next season.
People go to 9:20 off this video and listen to this statement🤦
Little More Passing The Ball 🤦😂😂😂🤦
What are you talking about?!
You even watch the games!
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THEY DON'T HIT THE OPEN SHOTS?
JOKIC SHOULD HAVE HAD A TRIPLE DOUBLE YESTERDAY AND TODAY IF HIS TEAMMATES HAD MADE OPEN SHOTS!
😂😂😂
JOKIĆ AVERAGES 10.2 ASSISTS PER GAME, DESPITE HIS TEAMMATES NOT SHOOTING GOOD!
AND YOU STATE THAT HE WILL HAVE TO PASS THE BALL MORE IN THE FUTURE!🤦😂😂😂🤦
Ako se ispostavi da Piket ume da šutira trojke to bi moglo da bude mnogo dobro.
Westbrook fans more delusional than Murray fans…dudes Westbrook starting lost to Wizard, just yesterday 😀 wake up
Russ is the best entry passer Jokic ever had
Picket hype? Come on guys. The dude is not good and tends to make bad choices.. And to say the coach hates him is ridiculous. The coach is always going to want to play his best players. Not about hating.
This was a back to back. Usually a "schedule loss". Just goes to show what a change of attitude can engender.
In Europe, the coach has no obligation or fear to let the starter on the bench, or to keep him there all game. Those the best on any particular evening will play. That's it.
Jokic is basketball….
Nuggets won the Wizards cup 🤣
The fact dude said he don't know how great of a passer he is,, tells me you don't watch much basketball or let the media dictates who Russ is.. ofc he's a great passer led the league in ast 2x and avg 7-8 for career.. and is top 9 ever in total ast 😂🤦🏾♂️.. He's one of the best passers in nba history
going through this comment section, it's just bad idea after bad idea. who are these "fans" lol
Trade Proposal that Nuggets cant refuse:
Brooklyn Nets get:Jamal Murray and Zeeke Naji
Atlanta hawks get:Michael PorterJr
Denver Nuggets get:Dennis Shroder,Bojan Bogdanovic and Bogdan Bogdanovic
Damn a 36 year old former MVP. Is playing better at the point. Than a 27 year old on a 208 million extension who has never been an all-star.
Also that 36year old is in better shape making barely 3 million a year.
Holy!
Murray juat doesnt have good basketball IQ
It’s so obvious: Russ starting is so much better than Traffic Cone Murray. Malone HAS to keep Russ as a starter when Mal comes back. If he doesn’t, it’s probably gonna get him fired long term.
Why do other players get punished or are treated differently, but coach constantly handles Cone with kid gloves? Have him come off the bench and prove himself. Enough of treating him like a “star”.
I would shut Murray down and force him to build some muscle, his stamina, explosiveness and vertical. He needs to go back to the work room. He also needs to watch old tapes of himself so he can see how much energy he used to bring, he used to have a chip on his shoulders, not anymore.
Nuggets=streak breakers!
Hard disagree on not starting Murray. Def make his mins closer to 30 mpg then 36 mpg like they are now and give Westbrook those extra 5-6 mins off bench. The last 2 yrs Murray averaged closer to 32 mpg.
Nuggets this year with Murray ON COURT are +8 per 100 (that includes 3 games without Joker).
When he’s OFF the court they’re nearly -5 per 100 (was -9 before last game though).
Go look at Murray the last 2 regular seasons October November to around this time of December (very similar to this year) and then the rest of the RS when he was 22, 7, 4, 1.5 stocks nearly 50/43/86 the rest of the yr and Nuggets won at 60+ win pace.
Also you can hate Jamal all you want (his injuries and slow starts def frustrating), but the reality still is Nuggets much better with Murray than without. Since 2019-20 WITH Murray they win at 54-55 win pace. WITHOUT him they win at 48-49 pace! In playoffs WITH him 32-19 since 2020. WITHOUT him 5-10.
Also even if you want Murray gone this summer him playing good is the only thing that makes that close to realistic unless you want to take back “bad contracts” or attach stuff you don’t want in order to “get rid of him.”
Imagine Jokic gets traded into LA Lakers next year after Lebron retirers and they beat Denver 13-1….just because of idiots in Denver, manly GM and Jamal M!
Jokic needs at least 2 more rings and current Denver is not champion team…no 3 pointers no defense.
We should bring Larry Nance im Denver as backup big! He have everything that needed!
Idk just how big hos contract is…but if he is around 7-8 we should definitely bring him and i don't know why we didn't look for him till now!
