Can the Denver Nuggets defense be saved?
The Cleveland Cavaliers cooked the Denver Nuggets from the 3-point line in a blowout loss at Ball Arena. Nikola Jokic had a triple-double but it wasn’t nearly enough. So the question becomes, can Christian Braun and Peyton Watson provide enough defense to improve the Nuggets throughout the year? Or are the in desperate need of a trade? The DNVR Nuggets postgame show breaks it all down

Let’s do it boys – FIRE MALONE. Hire Jeff van gundy. Or Memphis’ offensive coordinator. Maybe both.
What happened to this team,
when was the last time Nuggets player sacrifice his body for off charge, what are they doin in training sessions? When was the last time called off charge wheny oposite team is in PNR action, means they are too wide and 1 of the reasons late to recover. Very poor coaching on details
What a horrendous showing. Lazy and soft play by the Nuggets.
D Line, pause yo.
In post game interview Jok sad that 'we need to look how to help the team to play better and not look from the team to make us better' that was pointed to Murray, he always wants everyone to look out from him and put him in the best position while he always ball hogs, plays egoistic and plays zero defense, Murray is not a team player
Everyone pissed we lost to the current second best team in the NBA who made everything. You guys really suck sometimes. Hate what this fanbase has turned into.
You guys are over the top, now CB and MPJ are the problem, Murray plays so incosistent, dribbles a lot,holds the ball, plays hero ball, doesnt bound well with the rest of the team, ignores Jok so many times, but you want to trade everyone around murray for defense, while Murray is the worst defender, unreal, bench Murray and watch this team regain its chemistry and team spirit, Murray has always been a problem, but the media always look for different excuse..
All my presiction are coming true… Westbrook closing check, Westbrook shooting worse on the team check, Westbrook most TO on the team check, Malone going with 3 guard line up check…
“Icing on the shit cake” as Tim Lahey would say.
Naji with the clean cross
Offense is not there, offense in regular season is there…I mean you can see it, in PO we aren't scoring over 100 very often, that is if we play against any kind of competent defense, we need DAL, we need PHX, we need GSW…the aaving grace is that Jokic is mismatch against most of the teams….
Russ is horrible fit for the Denver. Some people are insanely delusional. He takes almost 4x 3 per games with terrible %.
He has atrocity 34% fg against playoff teams ( 50%+)
Malone overused him and made this team plays like freaking All Star game without defense. Russ with his fast chaotic pace fucked up our methodical half court offense.
Malone is ignorant . He plays with freaking Jordan🙄 He made terrible line ups. He has bad rotation. Refusing to play Hall instead Jordan.
Defense is atrocity– Russ is gambling with steals, Porter just stood around walking like in the park in defense 🙄
The Kings shoulda fired their gm
2 game losing streak!
Defense wins games.
Trade…nope, that will change nothing, cose what Nuggets have to offer for trade…nobody wants.
Lmfao Adam was spicy this ep 😂
I'm a Cavs fan that stumbled across your channel when looking for post-game reactions. I ended up watching your entire show. You guys are fair, non- biased, and entertaining! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Your format, content, and commentary were highly enjoyable. Never thought I'd ever watch almost an hour and a half of Nuggets content. Keep up the great work!!
While I agree with Dev, I would not phrase it the way he does. KCP was complimentary guy to Jokic both on defense and offense. But I think Jokic also playing with way less energy on defense, because of two things. The offense is solely dependent on him doing mostly hard stuff (previous seasons he could just spray the ball around) and he's not into it, because the GM and some players destroyed his very good team.
Calvin is soo baaaad
It was the right move moving on from KCP, but they need to find someone who can navigate screens this deadline or in the off season. Jokic’s defense was bad but the amount of space Garland and Mitchell were getting on PnRs made them unguardable. At least KCP can get around them and draw moving screen fouls. Every single defender today (Westbrook has been the best screen navigator by a lot for the season) got cooked on the screens. CB is an amazing isolation defender, but he might be too raw still
Everybody seems to forget the Elephant in the room. The nba is becoming less and less attractive and the reason is just one: 3 point. So if they make a change the 2 currently leading teams Boston and Cleveland will just disappear and teams like Denver Memphis or even LA will become dominant again. This is a wasted year but just wait. Imagine they will limit the valid 3 points to 12/game and think how this game could have looked like….
You can lose games its sport, but the issue is that Nuggets are a miserable watch.
LET'S GET MIKE BROWN AND FIRE MALONE
Jokic needs to leave Nuggets immediately. His is wasting his time with trash players.
Without having KCP and AG in the lineup our defense really suffers. KCP gone forever and AG with a lingering calf injury there is no relief in sight😔
Finney Smith would be a great KCP replacement 🙏🏻
That punch didn't connect unfortunately. Nurkic fell because a guy pushed him after the punch fell short. I saw it in slo-mo breakdown and it is pretty clear.
I thought i was the only one who was noticing the lisp
Kale was missed tonight🤣🤣🤣
Easier to hit threes when the refs don’t let players defend shooters at all. This is why viewership is down though. Watching teams like the cavs and Celtics chuck 3s all game is trash tv
