How the Denver Nuggets TRICKED the Entire NBA!!
Right now the Denver Nuggets have everybody fooled they got everybody right where they want them thinking this team is down and out it’s the furthest thing from the truth the Nuggets right now Nicole Yoki company they’re coasting okay they’re 50 games into the season they’re 34 and 16 fourth in the west uh
At the time of this recording they’re playing the Blazers here in a few minutes but the nuggets are not worried about the regular season right now let’s just be honest with Nicole yic with Jamal Murray coming off of that Championship I think the regular season
Is really going to be used the rest of it is going to be used more so for the development of their young uh big three there with Julian stur coming along nicely you got Christian Brown and Payton Watson you’re fourth in opponent’s points per game eighth in offensive rating 12th and defensive
Rating and eighth and net rating um Reggie Jackson also give you a big boost forgot to mention him but right now Nicole yic is coasting to the MVP uh he’s averaging about 26.3 points per game 12.1 rebounds not nine assists per game so Com or being responsible for over 40
Points per game um also about 12 rebounds like we said his last 10 games he’s been going crazy 29 Points a game 13 rebounds and eight assists dude is on another level um he did miss a couple of games and they lost to the Thunder but I mean ridiculous
Efficiency we need to stop and admire Nicole yic for what he is because he might be one of those dudes where we never see somebody qu quite as good as him ever again with Joel embiid going down due to injury it is now his MVP award to lose it would be his third
Already and he’s going to be like 29 next year 28 29 um looking at the MVP ladder there you can go back and pause it but now he will be back to the top of it with um NBA going down and like I said the Nuggets right now they’re
Coasting the NBA was afraid of this everybody you know they’re not even really trying to win games this team is unguardable if they really tried with that that’s starting lineup works so well together they’re like a well oiled machine at this point they’re second in two-pointers made second and two-point
Percentage fourth and field goals made and fifth in field goal percentage as well as being fourth in assist this team is just raw I mean there’s no other words to describe it than the best team in basketball and Jamal Murray is in the midst of his best season yet where he’s
Putting up 21 points per game six assists 4.2 rebounds and one steal per night again coming off of that ACL injury not too long ago he’s still starting to progress from that you know downo in his career over his last 10 games he’s putting up 25 points a game
Seven assists 40 or 50% from the field 40% from three he’s been a you know obviously Nicole yic is the dude but he is a great Robin to jokic’s Batman he’s so efficient as well I’m a big time Jamal Murray guy I will fight for Jamal Murray being a top three-point guard in
The NBA all day long they’re 24 and 11 with Jamal Murray without him they’re just eight and six and that should show you just how important he is to this team joic may be the MVP but he is very important now is the Reggie Jackson show
Over coming into the year they had depth concerns with this starting five obviously being the best in basketball but who’s going to come in off that bench Reggie Jackson stepped up and filled that void perfectly this year Reggie Jackson has averaged 11.1 points per game four assists and 2.1 rebounds
In 23 minutes he’s been invaluable for the Nuggets because like I said they needed to find somebody else to step up off that bench to be the ninth guy that could contribute and as you can see here in his last 10 games he started to regress a little bit but on the year
He’s been very efficient and overall very much needed a much needed boost for this nuggets team it’s just he’s starting to cool down a little bit come back to normal Reggie Jackson form if you are enjoying today’s video at any point make sure the like button leave me

Looking at the youth for this nugget team because yes they are contending right now but they’ve done a good job building on the back end of it with some young guys all three of those guys are either 21 or 22 years old um Julian straa the rookie this year is averaging
About six points per game 1.5 rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes he’s not been particularly efficient um in 33 games played he’s coming off of missing 13 games with I believe it was a left knee contusion or maybe it was his right knee either way he had a knee tusion
That he had to get fixed U but like I said right there missed 13 games so hopefully he comes back a little bit more efficient but he is a rookie so not expecting him to be anything crazy although he was one of the guys I thought would be able to come into the
League and contribute more right away um pton Watson averaging about seven points per game and a block in only 18 minutes T night shooting at 48% from the field 33% from three will’ll try to bring that up but he’s a great defender um and he’s he’s scoring a little bit between brown
And Christian Watson they have been able to combine to replace Bruce Brown and then you still got Reggie Jackson and you got I guess Julian stord so there’s your eight man rotation that won the finals last year Christian Brown seven points three and a half rebounds 45%
Shooting from the field 35% from three he played in all 50 games he’s been very reliable for this nuggets team and I think they have the Best Supporting Cast in the league to their Duo of joic and Murray and I don’t think there’s much of a debate about that mpj is averaging
Close to 16 points per game seven rebounds and 1.3 assist on 32 minutes per game he’s also been extremely efficient considering some of the shots that he takes I mean if you watch these Murray highlights he’ll Sprint down the court and take a three immediately this
One was easy catch and shoot but I mean still his shot is nearly unblockable uh 47% from the field 47 or 40% from three excuse me for Murray or goodness Michael Porter J I can’t even talk try to watch the highlights too because I mean when
He elevates just go ahead and take it out because it’s coming out of the bottom of the net Aaron Gordon has been really good as well 13.7 points a game 6.6 rebounds 3.2 assists in 32 minutes a night but for him the big value that he brings is his mismatch problems um and
His defensive versatility offensive versatility as well 54% shooting from the field and then a steal on a block per game we don’t have any defensive highlights but the athleticism as you can see he’s got the number five defensive rating in the entire league for a power forward so I mean that’s
Obviously where the bulk of his value comes but also like I said really good on offense very versatile and you can attack mismatches with him all the time like they did in the finals against the Heat and then cavius cwell Pope 10.4 points 2.3 rebounds 2.4 assists and 1.4
Steals per night for the Elite 3 and D Wing um good passer too he works very well within the offense very efficient four attempts from three per game um and he shoots at almost 40% so that’s pretty nice get a little pull up in the bag
Here he’s I mean he’s been great he doesn’t get talked about enough but I mean he’s like the sixth option here uh that’s how deep this nuggets team is and then they still got a couple of guys waiting in the wings developing I still fully believe that both of these guys
Are going to be pretty good players um jayen picket he was really good at Pinn State same thing with Hunter Tyson I think that before long both of these guys are going to be impact players for the Nuggets Off the Bench maybe not this year but definitely next year and then
You also have Zeke Nagi um but if injuries do hit one of these guys could be called upon to step up or maybe they make a move in the deadline but right now like I said they are sitting tight they are what half a game out of first
Place so it’s not I mean there’s no reason they’re in fourth but they’re they’re that close to first so no reason to panic here like I said they got Portland tonight in about an hour and a half from the time this video is being recorded about 30 minutes from the
Release date and then you got the Lakers Kings and bucks so interesting schedule coming up we’ll see what they make of it but I am all in on this Denver Nuggets team as usual if you enjoy en today’s video make sure to like button and hit that subscribe Button as well as
