Denver will beat OKC if they meet each other in the playoffs, this season.
We are going 78-4 because we can't beat the twolves for some reason
Carson and Logan I’m curious, were Haliburton healthy this season who would you predict to have a better regular season offense, the Pacers or the Nuggets?
You keep on saying how Denver's zone defense won't work again, but fail to mention how OKC's TRIPLE TEAMING of Jokic won't work again…😂
OKC was 32% from 3, but Denver was 31% from 3…Denver's role players will also shoot better…LOL.
Seeing Denver's second unit steamroll over the OKC starters gave me even more optimism than I already had. Denver in 6!
7:45 bro got them pipes 😂😂
Yo the voice of an angel 😇 😂
Hot take, the nuggets bench plus cam would be a solid play in team in the east, as compared to last year, when our bench plus Jamal would be getting scammed out of the #1 pick. Cam has shot terribly, but that's actually made me feel better. When MPJ's shots weren't falling, he was an absolutely detrimental player, but Cam currently has helped make our defense look damn solid PLUS he is making plays and using his gravity to help stress defenses. When these easy shots start falling, the league will shake
Nuggets will be eating all the babies this year.
7:44 😂
Denver's coach, David Adelman, is a bit of a mad scientist. You better believe he's going to have a whole other set of schemes just for OKC.
Well let's be honest Denver's bench is now equally yes equally as good as deep as OKC's I know people are going to hate on that but it's true if you're going to see that I'm right as a season goes on you're going to see that I'm right and I'll say I told you so I tried to tell you they're equally as deep they could go 11 this was mentioned in a recent video by some of the Insiders
Jokic is a good defender. We see it in the play offs. But he tends to back off playing aggressive D because he gets such a bad whistle. When he plays D in the regular season he picks up fouls and ends up with 4 or 5 fouls going into the fourth quarter. The team has a bad habit of giving away leads, and the rest of the team disappears in the fourth so it’s down to him ALONE to win the game. Thats hard to do with 5 fouls. He realised early in his career not to defend, avoid fouls, then be there to win the game in the 4th. It sucks but the NBA doesnt like his game and calls him for any foul, and they don’t call fouls on players mugging him when he has the ball. So it’s a strategic choice to sacrifice tougher D to be available at the end of the game.
But Denver's defense their new defense is looking really good so don't count them out of the defense it's still developing but the new defense that all the schemes the Denver is doing right now and defense don't be surprised they even said there's a very possibility good possibility they could be top five and defense so you're talking OKC's defense watch out for Denver's new defense they're right there and they're larger they got bigger size and everything else they may be right there pushing with OKC's they're going to be right up there with it don't discount Denver's new defensive schemes they've got a lot of stuff that's greatly improved totally different monster from last year
Its funny how you all think only OKC can get better. That only OKC can make improvements or get better as a team. You all talk like OKC is the only answer. Im getting this from your conversation with Jason Timpfe. The glazing you all did on OKC. The fact that you thought Jason should have picked OKC over Denver is crazy!!! You were actually offended he didnt pick Denver. It was crazy to watch
It’s going to come down to can Denver’s bench keep up with OKC’s, that simple. Jokic is good enough to either win his minutes on the floor or not surrender much, problem is the nuggs have been horrendous with him off the court. Fix that and I think they win, the year they won it all their bench wasn’t as good as people like to think.
I'm not going to be surprised if they win 60+ games, over OKC to take the No.1 seed
