Great Win !! Murray Magic ✨🎶
Denver needs the following though
1. Tighten defense
2. Better rebounding
3. Cam needs to stop glitching
4. Braun needs to execute better
The streak is broken, thata all that matters
make sure you address your international fans too
“The bane no more”. Ant didn’t play dude. I’m stoked on the game, but let’s not pretend we aren’t still a tad intimidated by a healthy Minnesota
Funny what happens when you have a half-competent front office. Suddenly you have a de luxe backup center, legit 3-point threat off the bench, athleticism all around. Murray has space to operate and Jokić doesn't have to play 49 minutes per night. This looks like a very good team.
Maybe someone said to Jamal that tens of thousands of us wanted to see him go because of how he was playing in 23/24 and especially 24/25 and when finally MPJ was moved he realized he will be the next one to go I personaly didn't have problem with how they play but how much they were paid and they were paid over 70mil but if it was 40mil which would be appropriate according to their game you could have 2 extra guys added to the roster like if they had Val and Cam on the bench they would beat OKC. MPJ had injury from the beginning of play offs which couldn't heal because he had to play every game at the end AG got injured, for this season Jamal is paid 46mil and for that kind of money he should show up from the beginning not after 80 games but if he wants to play just in play offs, that's also fine but for 20mil same as the guy who just play regular season.
A W is a W. It was great to break the curse and I don't want to diminish it, but for full satisfaction, the Nuggets must beat Wolves with a healthy Ant on the roster….
I believe that every loss on Jokic not reaching his averages in shooting splits is a good loss as it means the rest of the team did their job, we know Jokic will bounce back easy but the confidence of the others in the team is a different story
This was Jokic's best game so far. He was solid and complete in all aspects of his game. He's the foundation. 💪
Tim Hardaway Jr was huge tonight because he came through and settled the Nuggets down when they were looking discombobulated. Same for PeWat. 💪
Cam was troubling because 2 times, when he came on the court the team looked very disorganized. I hope his shoulder is not injured.
It's been done twice before. Oscar and Russell have also started with 3 straight TDs. Timmy. My goodness. This was such a massive pickup for us. He was a legitimate starter last year. He took a massive paycut and a reduced role. He wants to be a champion with Denver Nuggets. And I love it.
Golden State was a litmus test. The "loss" demonstrated that the defensive woes continue. Jokic in particular demonstrated bad judgement in his floor spacing and shot selection. The collapse in the second half reminded me of the collapse in Game 7 of the Timberwolf series.
Good win. Lowest IQ play in basketball is foaling a 3 point shooter that has all ready beat you. Just block out. They miss have the open shots any ways. Tell them coach.
I generally like the get out and run offense for us, but that first half felt so uncontrolled and chaotic. I think with this deeper more reliable roster, we oughta try and run more sets and just settle down a bit. Get out and run when you get stops, otherwise just relax…
