Can’t wait until you see us have a top 10 defense this year, got great defense pieces coming off our bench this season in christian braun & peyton watson. Not to mention zeke finally seem’s alright enough to provide some switching, energy, & rebounding as our back up big. I also think mpj, Ag, & Kcp have all locked in more defensively this year.
Good analysis, but I do feel that you and MOST analysts give short shrift to TEAM advantages, it’s not all about who’s most talented. When you have a team that plays like a team (ala Denver or the Warriors), they have a tremendous advantage over teams that are more talented and want to play isolation or “basic” basketball…
I always marvel at how half these damn stars are unavailable at the freakin beginning of the season. Like why are Suns stars not available? It’s your job bro. Shit is consistently happening around the league and these dudes expect people to pay full price when all the stars treat playing like an opt in they have to be forced into.
who is more talented you keep saying that and I have asked 2 times please answer and tell me y
remember Holmgren is yet to learn how to move his feet around…..he needs to spend a summer with Hakeem. Once he gets that rebounding and post defensive footwork down he will be fearsome….he aint there yet
So…Denver does not have more talent than the other top teams, really? Name one player you would pick before the Joker, if winning a championship was the goal?
i’m not worried about the celtics in the late rounds of the playoffs this season to be honest jrue and porzingis are much different options to work with than marcus and rob who are a spacing nightmare
These vids coming out late in my opinion
The Nuggets are "the teams at the top of the league."
Thunder need to pickup Nic Claxton I think he’s a perfect fit
I can't see anyone beating the Nuggets if they stay healthy
Memphis*
They are complete team.. they make it to look so easy it's like they are on training.. not a match lol. From our perspective it looks like that easy but it's not.. and also so many teams over complicate things.. and nuggets playing it simple.. This season i think Nuggets/Suns/Kings on west will fight for champ.. east side ofc celtics and bucks..that's been for years now… east is so broken..
Nuggets look like they’re gonna have a 70 win season. Even on back to back games they look unbeatable. Yes they could slow down, but they look like they’re just picking up where they left off last year.
Bro does not need to be wearing hats in every video. I was expecting an Alex Caruso line or something lol
One interesting thing about this Denver Nuggets team is that they actually control the whole game. They were behind for at most 1 or 2 minutes in the entirety of 4 games. They start the matches well thanks to Jokic. Bench does a good job in the second quarter. If the opponent feels like they actually have a chance in the fourth quarter, Jokic comes from the bench and dashes the last remaining hope. Even if they win by 3-4 points only, the games aren't really going close. I don't know what causes this. Maybe the extra confidence after the championship. The team knows that there is no stopping them unless they really fuck this up. I wish them health. As long as the starting 5 is healthy, it won't be close. Whatever Giannis-Dame, Embiid (hahaha), LeBron-AD, Durant-Booker-Beal, Tatum-JB-Porzingis-Holiday will do won't be enough.
I feel like Denver will become a Bench Player Development Facility. Players will go to Denver, play from bench for a few years or just one. They will shine and sign a good contract with another team. The cycle repeats with a new player. We all know why this is possible.
For people who understand TEAM sports……..The NUGGETS are what we call a REAL TEAM meaning they have good culture, know there roles, play team basketball, and know how to win. Thats a huge edge in sports. U dont have to b the most talented although they r talented its not always about that. There r intangibles I think the gen public and for sure people who cover sports dont always get sometimes or see for that matter.
The problem for the NBA w Denver getting the #1 seed is that home field advantage is real and they know this and they will b shooting for it all year. I think its a good move even if u r a little tired like last year it pays off later on.
Im just happy for JOKIC one of the real good guys in the league not a punk or nig mouth or crybaby. Ive been fighting for him when no one talked about him much. I was never late to this party. And Im from BOSTON!
