Nuggets need to play consistent, that means shooting as well as defence in all 4 quarters and not easing up on the opponent. To many time they either are in the hole with too many points behind or let the other team catch up and destroy their lead.
There is a discussion in Nuggets circles whether the 6 is better than the 4-5 because of dodging the Thunder. I find that to be stupid, because the team is better than their record given the injuries. Winning 8 or 9 of the last 10 should be the focus and making sure they are healthy when they see OKC. It's a championship-expectation team so whether you lose in the 2nd or 3rd round is still disappointing.
As a tip for the nuggets start treating each game going forwards as a knockout game. You can thank me later.
West.is.rough.
10:27 for 2 years as a Nuggets fan (and anyone else in that 3-8 mix in the west) it’s been fun as hell watching that last stretch. It’s almost like a mini hyper condensed nfl season the way the games matter and the teams matchup with such miniscule margins in the w/l columns
Brother, lay off this podcast n play for a while, we really could use your 3balls in de coming playoff
You been struggle almost all season long making those shots, we know it's hard, meanwhile Injuries put you guys in a tough position and Jok's on his way back to the full healthy n dominant form,
Thunders free merchants and spurs are holding their heads up against us, Luka dying to prove himself belong to the same tire of Joker n hes doin good, let alone those Timberpuppies barkin all the time
We really got some business to take care, hope you guys could make it!
