And CAM JOHNSON is gonna be a Knight on the Jokers Chess Board!!!
Jamal looks like the Mile High Mamba!
Joker is not even playing hard and is not in top condition (YET)and Joker still casually gets what he wants 🃏🃏🃏🃏!
Jonas Valhalla will get better and better as he learns his role, teammates…and will be a KEY!!
Our 2nd unit will eventually be SOLID!! May take a bit of time, but this Nuggets team is Primed!!!
Stay Healthy🙏🙏🙏💪💪🏆
But Tyson and Strawther… they should start pushing some of those younger guys instead of them.
As Cam Johnson weaves his game into the team (it may take a month) because Cam is smart and will evolve game by game…
But as Cam learns how to thrive, the Nuggets will unlock many more levels of Defense and Offense …. Cam Johnson is gonna have the best chapter of his career! As are the Nuggets!🏆🏆🏆
I think the turnovers is a sign of the team really feeling itself honestly and (over) trusting itself
I think the only gap left is a backup pg. they suffered a lot to bring up the ball. I’m not gonna lie I kinda miss Westbrook. He would be perfect for this bench unit.
Gotta give the bench some time to gel and find an identity, that is what preseason is for.
Jamal finally plays like an All-star from the start of the season! CB was spectacular!
Great podcast, thanks. 😊
The same problem we had last season with the bench. The problem isn't replacing Nikola as a center, but replacing Nikola as a playmaking point guard.
Conventional centers (all of them in history except Nikola) may pass the ball better or worse, have more or less IQ, but they don't play as point guards. It doesn't matter which centers we use as backup, if we don't have a point guard in the bench who can create plays for them, they'll be completely useless.
Julian Strawther is horrible as a point guard. Now that MPJ and Westbrook are gone, he must be the player with the lowest IQ on the team.
I feel like Jamal playing for Canada last summer was detrimental.
Kessler looks good before he came here. Hope they don't sleep on him and let him go. Better then most of the bench riders we have like Hunter. 31 turn overs. Balls in your corner Coach. Had this problem last year.
Yay!!!❤
Guys, I thought 31 turnovers is a concern. Why not mention this outrageous number at the top of the podcast?!
Im cautious about this year. I think Tyson, Pickett, and Zeke should NOT get minutes. Kessler Edwards NEEDS minutes. Edwards with Braun could be a good defensive lineup.
