Couldn’t agree more about Jamal. I must admit, I was totally done with him after he threw that heat pad, but he’s done literally the best job possible to prove he’s grown in his game and maturity.
Cam Jon the man John is one terrible name. Can you make him Cam John Wick(ed) because he shoots like John Wick.
The biggest problem for the Denver Nuggets is an inexperienced and not good enough coach, and that will most likely show in the playoffs (hopefully I’m wrong). It’s also a big mistake that he doesn’t use Julian, DaRon, and Zeke more, because they’ve had good games and could contribute a lot to the team.
An excellent second half by the Denver Nuggets — they really have great players this season.
Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray were very good.
Cam impressed me — he has been outstanding over the last 7 games.
CB was very good, always finding himself in the right place for easy points.
BB had an excellent game — he should just keep it up.
PWat — welcome back, a very solid performance for someone who hasn’t played for a while.
AG had a very good game on both ends; if he stays healthy, he’ll be excellent like before the injury.
THJ didn’t have his day today, but I think he’ll be much better next game — it seems that’s just how it goes, two very good games and then one weaker.
It’s a big shame that Julian, DaRon Holmes, and Zeke don’t play more often, because they’ve had good games this season and the Nuggets need them to get into rhythm as well.
I’m sorry to say this, but the weakest link of the Nuggets is David Adelman, who is not good or experienced enough to lead such talented players, and I’m afraid that will be a problem in the playoffs (I hope I’m wrong).**
I am soooooooooo happy and excited P Wat is back! Thank GOD. Maybe we can play like the Nuggets now. Like the Nuggets we've known for the last few years. Let's make a push baby, turn up! 3 or 4 seed and let's go beat the OKCs, Wolves and Spurs of the world. Gotta get another chip one of these years. Didn't see it coming in '23. What better time than now??? 5280🫡
Killa Cam Cam and his Dipset. Pulling up in the pink Range Rover. IYKYK
Dev is back!
No such thing as a ho-hum win right now!
Not sure the DA criticism from the fans is legit…He has maneuvered this team into position to make a strong playoff run, still possible to get the 3 seed, in spite of having the absolute worst schedule along w the most injury riddled Nuggets season ever. Went 10-6 without Joker, that in itself would be impressive; but add to it that up to 3 more starters were missing (along w the “6th starter” PWat) during the Joker injury…I dunno y’all, pretty impressive IMHO. The playoffs are obviously the true test, so we will see…Go Nuggets!
The key to the Nuggets postseason success will be Peyton Watson finding his pre-injury rythm and being able to be in the closing lineup over Christian Braun.
Be ready for every playoff team employing the Jokic rules. They will have a small guy body him up and front him with backside flankers to intercept any passes over the top. The only way to counter this defense is running high-low action(So likely Gordon flashing to the free throw line and throwing the ball to Jokic). But this counter only works if every person on the floor is threat to shoot and attack off the dribble.
As long as CB is in the starting lineup, good teams will continue to leave him open because they all know he is too scared to shoot the open 3 or attack the rim. He only looks to pass the ball to Jokic, which is very predictable. The Nuggets will need Watson's ability to hit the 3 and create his own shot in those spots
MPJ for the Nuggets 39,8% from 3, Cam 42,3%
If lakers slows down Denver will be 3rd seed.
