2 straight AWFUL home losses. Chicago was missing their 2nd best player,& coming off double OT,at altitude in Utah,& on back 2 back. Take a phenomenal road win in Houston,& just give it back tonight.The West is ridiculously tough-these 2 awful home losses (not to mention pissing away road games in clutchtime at GS,& Portland that were all but won) could be difference at end of the season between say the 2 seed or 5 or 6-look how close it was last yr,& the West is arguably even better this yr top to bottom. Nobody's expecting only 1 loss every 16-21 games like OKC or AVS,& big picture 12-4 is good in a vacuum.
Problem is all 4 losses have been brutal in some way-either the opponent,&/or their circumstances or HOW you just gave it away. Every team will have bad losses,& gags but we haven't had a '"good or normal" loss yet. 2 bad home losses,& 2 choke jobs…1-4 in clutch time games. People were freaking cuz the AVS were 0-5 in OT(I wasn't cuz I knew their effort,mentality & process were great-unlike the Nuggets in these last 2 losses). But those are really ties in hockey,& the AVS were the better team in 4 of those 5 "losses."(quasi ties)Nuggets close game issues,& giving away games like Christmas presents is FAR,FAR more concerning & potentially damaging.
Just not a professional effort tonight or clutch team yet this season-granted it's still early. AVS have given a professional effort every night-even in their 1 real loss,& every OT loss. Nugs just haven't in back 2 back home losses as bad as it gets all things considered. Losing 1 of these 2 home games would be somewhat understandable,& no big deal. But it is beyond inexcusable to lose BOTH these last 2 home games,& there likely will be a price to pay in the big picture in the west.Ya can kinda say the same thing about their 2 road losses also.
1 total gag is understandable but 2 in a short time period kinda isn't & ESPECIALLYafter these 2 garbage losses. To be fair-those road losses weren't near as egregious Id say-big picture. But cumulatively it's all super alarming for many reasons Id say. And the excuse making shills are arguably even more frustrating than this team has been so far. Right now they look like frontrunners though I don't think they are. But so far if you don't let them blow you out-you probably will beat them. Actually it's most likely they'll beat themselves for you.
I love what Jok said about the 12-4 being just an illusion and that it doesn't paint the real picture. I completely agree. They have only played with one real contender in the Rockets. Denver right now is not beating OKC.
Yeah hey nuggets fans as a guy who enjoys and is a fan of the joker respectfully this man can no longer win with jamal murray.. jamal is the face of the word inconsistency
Joker 4th quarter 8-10 20 points
Jamal 4th quarter 1/8 4 points
Nothing you can do when you got so many people injured unlucky
well, chicken nuggets lost.
time for a trade… wasting your prime years on those casuals
Too many narrowly lost games means the coach has to face his own responsibility.
Nikola JOKIC… ❤❤❤ .
I'm STILL crying 😭😭😭😭, right now 😢
With Gorden and CB it would be difftent
Why in the earth jones played more than 20min???
Amd jokic knows he is not going to get fair calls
Just only b2b
Adelman needs to be accountable for this. Fix it now before the playoffs or we gonna be in the same situation as last year.
🃏🇷🇸
Murray need cut 50% salary as his performance !
Get the serbian reporter out of there please. So insufferable.
Channel should just have Serbian subtitles so I don’t have to go to comments every Jokic interview
Adelman looks like a rookie. Whens that number 1 pick going to play????? Should get any minutes you give Zeke and some. Can't get better sitting on the bench Adelman. Not like the bench players are dominating to take a look at him. Malone 2.0.
We should still have Mike Malone at coach. I'm not sold on Adelman.
NBA has too many games played in the regular season. For Comparison, in the Euroleague , Teams play 38 regular season games , so 38 VS 82, and then, the playoff format is also different where the NBA team can theoretically play 28 games vs Eurolague's maximum 7 games TOTAL.
Well, what i see as a pattern is too slow first quarter in the last few games including this one. Making many turnovers at the very beggining which quite surely hurts and also they are allowing certain players to get into a rhythm. On the other hand, i love Denvers defense much more compared to last year. You see so many active hands on passing lanes and great help defense but still, there are holes. Watson needs to get his decision making a lot better when it comes to passing the ball, cause he made so many turnovers with awful passing.
When a team executes things on court, the team moral skyrockets an everyone is much more confident in their shot. GREAT defense generates GREAT offense and that is certainly the key
It’s enough JOKER 🃏🃏🃏 again and again One man team….MASTERMIND,TEAM PLAYER AND he’s a MAESTRO NUGGETS don’t deserve him absolutely
We love you JOKIC FAMILY AND SO SORRY …COME ON TO LA PLEASE 🙏🏻♥️
HE NEEDS A NEW RING it’s not impossible with NUGGETS
Not beating OKC
