  1. I love MPJ as a player and as a person. And he has these great games. But i just cant help but feel lavine would be better.

  2. Might wanna rethink Mike rigidly being the third option in our offense. Feed the hot hand. I feel like Malone has a tough time making adjustments.

  3. Tell me, am I the only one who sees how sniper MPJ dunks a lot recently? How dunker AG shoots important shots, 3s included? How CB bust his ass off on turnovers? How Wattson blocks the ublockable? How DJ catches team's rythm the more minutes he has? How Strawther's 3s are decimating the opponent team, because his shooting form is so short and fast?
    So many people trashes this team and the bench too, but all I see is a real passion and slow, but steady improvement.
    Murray is still a wild card, though. And Westy is Joker's second pair of hands. I hope he loves to finally find a team, that actually relies on him.

  4. He is interesting prospect… At first when we drafted him, I thought he will be something similar to Kevin Durant. But he mostly become spot up shooter. The year when Jamal went down with the injury, was a year where MPJ also went down with the injury unfortunately. I was thinking, whole year where he was option number 2, or even 1 (Murray at that time took more shoots than Jokic) might elevated him.

    This game showed he had some good footwork. I think he needs mostly to improve his defence, so he is earning his spot on the floor even if his shot is not falling. There are games like the previous one, where his shot was off, and he got just 20 minutes game time. I have seen game where Kobe starts cold, and then scored 10 in a row. Imagine if you pulled him after first 6 missed shots.

    TL DR; Michael needs to become solid defender, and make coach leave him on the floor all the time. And his shot will come.

  5. MPJ! what a smart boy! how well he handles pressure! a fantastic player and an educated man with a nice sentence! Well done!

  6. Michael handles this situation so gracefully. I think it would be a monumental mistake to trade him, but that's not the biggest part of life when it comes down to it and his comments about faith were spot on. I have an idea that he is going to win more championships wherever he is at, but I hope it is in Denver because I don't think the Nuggets win another without him.

  7. When he said “I watched your show” to Ryan Blackburn he’s basically saying “I know you want me to be traded for Zach Lavine” 😂

  8. Mike you the man. Keep doing your thing. Having a bounce back game like this is what elite players do. Proud of you. And nobody gives you enough credit for coming back and staying healthy from that back injury. Good shitt

  9. I’m a Cavs fan and I always trade for MPJ in 2k. But in real life his home is with the Nuggets. Don’t trade this man!

  10. MPJ and Jamal should be a 2a 2b behind Jokic instead of Jamal being the clear 2

  11. Everyone saying it’s a mistake to trade him now 😂 all we need is Jamal healthy getting an efficient 20 on a nightly basis and we’re competing with the best of the best

  12. He said it himself. Consistency. He doesn't have it. If he was a better defender you can live with the shooting slumps.
    Denver needs a long forward in the post on both ends to make Joker's life easier.

  13. Really sad to see fans who only base things on muh feelings rather than assessing where this team is.

    I’ve always loved Mike off the court. Next to Jok, he’s my fave player to hear from. But for 3 seasons it’s been easy to see they need to move on from him & his game. This year, it’s been more Murray than him; they need to upgrade STILL at backup center and the bench. Still need more depth. They ARE who their record indicates. Slightly above 500 team, who might even be a play in team. A team who in now way in this current form will be able to beat OKC or probably even the Mavs in the playoffs. So unless they want to throw this season away and wait for this summer to make moves, they need to do something.

    And Mike is the only high level asset they have because of Mal’s contract situation. Booth screwed up big time extending that guy.

    Come at me MPJ stans! Explain how muh feelings trump improving this roster.

  14. I love this man so humble and sweet he's been through a lot in his career from injuries his brother catching a case and now people are talking about him trade rumors talking shit about him good and bad the internet is ruthless whatever God has in store for him he's gonna always be in a good place we are so used to seeing him in a Nugget uniform and Denver already lost KCP if they loose MPJ it's gonna be another good one gone I don't trust Calvin Booth and his decisions towards this team so if he pulls that trigger and trade MPJ I'm truly convinced this man is truly an ASSHOLE

  15. AG, MPJ and Jokic are the heart and soul of the Nuggets. Read that again and let it sink in. You trade one of those guys and the Nuggets will take a long time to recover.
