I think the real reason for this loss was they went away from AG too soon. They went to the two man to often when the should of went back to AG. I like what i see though.
Get that people will be mad at CB but this is Steph!!! Steph made Amazing logo 3s. Its his Magic š©. But CBs not why we lost. Cam and Jokic have to be better.
We can't be worried about Jokic not finishing the game in the LITERAL first game of the REGULAR season!
Aaron Gordon All Star Game appearance?
The headline reads the joker came up short, whoever thought that was a good idea should be forced to clean the toilets
Hardaway looks confident. I'd give him more playing tine. Same with Brown.
Jokic š¤Ŗ
We back baby.
Can everyone calm down and acknowledge Curry is from a different planet and torched us tonight. Guys like that are impossible to stop
Jokic needs to get back into shape
They will be fine. A bit disappointed that jokic isn't in shape, given that they did a really great job building the team. But I'd rather them start the season cold and warm up than start on fire and cool down.
It's early, I am still all in on this team. Even more so I think because THJ and Big Val, everything we needed.
How you play CAM in a clutch last 5 minutes ????while having Hardaway and Vale in the bench??? even Watson would have been a better choice since He has the experience with the team. They were also not the better team; look at all the teams that have won so far. the score spread per player is another level!!! Then you saw Watson creating some good positioning on speed that Jokic , Murray & Co decided to ignore. Wemby will cook them!!!!
Only disappointed in the fact that they didn't run a play for AG. He was on fire. Jokic is out of shape. He should have found AG.
Christian and cam jhonson played poorly also
Jok played so bad. Almost all Warriors points when he's on the floor is because of his collapse on defense. And he can't get those back on offense. What a joke of a superstar
The nuggets are good. The nuggets are not a top two team in the west. Probably a 5/6 in the west.
Jokic had a 20 point triple double. The problem with jokic being the greatest of all time is this conversation youre having right now. When is a 20 point triple double ever playing poorly? š You expect a 60 point triple double and elite defense from the man and thats the problem. The warriors just were the better team plain and simple. Stop hating on Jokic
If Steph didnāt have one of his games & if Jok could have just made a couple of his shots, they win. Period.
GS is good, yes, but age will catch up with them this year. Denver will be REALLY good this year once the pieces fall into place. Fans shouldnāt be discouraged at all.
I will say golden state stole this game and played closer to there ceiling, where as the nuggets I know can play a lot better (joker, CB and cam canāt play much worse)
I don't know how to tell you this, guys, but Jokic's problems with attitude and mood seem to run deeper than just taking this offseason unseriously. It's not just that he's not in shape. He seems to be frustrated. And I'm sad to tell you that this has a lot to do with the terrible political situation in Serbia.
The Jokic family, especially some members like his uncle, are deeply tied to the dictatorial government which is now in the middle of a deep crisis. The government is so corrupt, and so tyrranical that the people have had enough. There have been thousands of protests and blockades throughout Serbia in the last year and it's a matter of time when they will get overthrown. And with it, all the lies and corruption will come to light, and most of its agents will be tried and the ill-gotten wealth will be seized.
Unfortunately, the Jokic family has had its dealings with this government, and Jokic himself has given support to Vucic, one of the most tracherous and corrupt politicians we've ever had. I'm sure this situation is weighing heavy on Jokic, and his focus is disturbed.
The bad news is this situation is only going to get worse throughout the year. I, personally, think his mind has changed regarding his support for Vucic. And what's more, there have been some very unsavory dealings behind the scenes of the Serbian national team at the Eurobasket. This government sent people to beat up our own fans in the stands if they had banners or were shouting messages against Vucic and his government. The whole team was very upset about this, and unofficially, coach Pesic had a to call Vucic himself to complain about this situation, and was told essentially to shut up and dribble (the Serbian version of that).
It resulted in a very disappointing showing for Serbia. You should do some research yourselves. I'm not saying I'm in Jokic's head, and I hope I'm wrong. But you should be aware of this angle as well. I understand if you don't want to get political in the show, but it's part of life, and now possibly, part of basketball. At least it was at the Eurobasket.
The big contract had C Braun on fire….not! Please don't do this with Watson. Gotta keep em hungry
man…the opening schedule was bad for the Nuggets, they need to get the rust off..8 days since the last game ..with AG and Jamal like this the Nuggets will run the league!! when Cam and the rest of the new arrivals work properly Denver will destroy them all …man.. it will be a show !! Curry King(and only among active seniors) has one of his night
Does Adelman have any veteran assistant coaches? For any first time coach they need experienced vets on the coaches bench. You can't have a first time coach leading other first time coaches
Nuggets needs to play defense Guys
I think they went too hard on training camp they were exhausted in training camp they need to save that energy for the game
Hopefully this was just getting the stinker out the way. We all know this team can drop one at any time
Nuggets are a disappointment. Some were already crowning them as eventual champs because of paper. But they never fail to disappoint. š
Wild concept: show up fit when your job literally involves running, jumping, and not collapsing on live TV. Ignoring the only wish the coach had for the offseason is crazy work. Accountability is more rare than talent these days.
