The Denver Nuggets SENT The NBA A REMINDER
The Denver Nuggets proved on Thursday night that they are still the team to beat in the NBA and until they are knocked off their Throne they are still the defending champions in an exciting game and possible preview of the 2024 NBA Finals the Nuggets once again took care of business against the Boston
Celtics sweeping the season series two games to none jic had a masterful performance he had 32 points 12 rebounds and 11 assists for his 20th triple double of the season season the nuggets are beginning to hit their Championship form having won seven out of eight matchups since the allstar break they
Have beaten some quality teams during the stretch proving that they’re going to be awfully tough to beat four out of seven times in a playoff series before we continue on guys do me a solid hit that like button and smash that subscribe button down below for more
Nuggets content help me hit 36k on this channel it would be greatly appreciated when this game got close close the Nuggets turned to their clutch performer niik yic the Nuggets posted him up on the right block and at the nail on nearly every single clutch possession down the stretch and joic generated some
Great looks for himself and his teammates against the third ranked defense in the NBA the Nuggets also posted up yic on porzingis at every single opportunity they could the solid contributors for the Nuggets went beyond joic as Aaron Gordon was huge in this one he scored 16 points had nine
Rebounds and scored the two biggest buckets of the game a putback dunk and an alyo from yic both of which came late in the fourth quarter cavius Caldwell Pope was huge in holding Jason Tatum in check as Tatum shot at just five of 13 from the field that really threw off
Boston’s offense and how about the unsung hero in this victory for the Nuggets guys Peyton Watson he came off the bench scored 11 points points and was a plus 11 overall he was somebody that really injected some much needed energy and athleticism for the nuggets from their second unit Jamal Murray
Wasn’t at his best in the closing minutes which did take away from a solid game from him but overall Murray finished with 19 points and eight assists but he did shoot at just seven of 18 from the field and he had five turnovers including a couple of critical
Mistakes that the Celtics used to nearly flip this game and I mean it was thanks to Holiday who took over late that almost had the Celtics winning this one eight points for Holiday in a two-minute span had the Celtics down by two with 45 seconds then Jason Tatum found himself
Wide open in the corner for three but he missed and then that’s when Gordon slammed home another dunk on the other end off the pass from jic to seal the win for Denver the win now moves the Nuggets to 43 and 20 and they are only a
Game behind the Minnesota timber for the top seat in the west and the nuggets are only a half a game back of the Thunder for second the nuggets are pushing for that number one seat they want homec court advantage they know how important it is every game down the stretch
Matters for Denver and it’ll be interesting to see whether their focus is there to take advantage of winnable games they have moving forward right now the nuggets are indeed in a good spot to capture that number one seed which would ensure them homecourt advantage throughout the entirety of the western
Conference playoffs and it’s against the Celtics that should offer this nuggets team a whole lot of confidence because the Celtics were touted as the best team in the NBA and if the Celtics really are the best team the Nuggets just beat them twice meaning they’ll have a legitimate
Chance to repeat and the closer the Nuggets get to the postseason the better they become we have seen the Nuggets just take it to a whole new level and hit another gear post All-Star break as this team could do no wrong right now and you look at the man leading the way
Nia yic is playing arguably his best ball right now and he is looking like he’s about to win another MVP award which would be the third of his career in his last three games Nicole yage is averaging 30.7 points 12.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists on 56 half% shooting from the field including
41.7% from three and in a potential finals preview against the Celtics on Thursday night the Joker went to work he took over down the stretch and dominated the Celtics Elite defense and right now there is simply no answer to niika yic and until a team finally figures him out
I mean it’s going to be another long postseason Run for the rest of the NBA because he is just simply unguardable he is unmatched with his ability to take over down the stretch and it’s not only what he’s able to do for himself but just the positive impact he has with his
Teammates nicoa yic is the best player in the NBA and he’s got the perfect team around him and that combats what many people dub as the best starting five in the NBA which is this Boston Celtics team that the Nuggets just beat so Denver I mean this is just a well-oiled
Machine and you look at jokic’s ability to just control the game it is unreal I mean his Pace his decision making in moment simply Elite he averages the most touches per game he throws the most passes and he’s putting up numbers that you know are compared to the best years
Of Oscar Robinson so I don’t know how Nia yic doesn’t win the MVP award this season when he is playing at this high level when the nuggets are in all likelihood going to get that number one seed because right now if I had to make a prediction I do think the Nuggets will
Get the number one seed because Minnesota I think’s going to fall back a little bit obviously they’re going to be with oat the rest of the season which is a huge blow for them and I do think the Nuggets will be able to outlast a Thunder team that has been pleasant
Surprise so I do think the Nuggets get that one seed which is just going to make it so tough for the rest of the West to knock this team out and then you know depending on if the nuggets have a better record than the Celtics or whoever they play in the NBA Finals
That’ll determine if they have home court advantage for that final series but even if they don’t this nuggets team good luck trying to beat them four to seven times it is going to be very very difficult so a year removed from winning that NBA title the Nuggets look like
They’re on their way to doing it again Boston will be a formidable fo for the Nuggets if these two teams meet again in June and honestly just given how both of those matchups went the excitement level I would not be upset if we do get a nugget seltic NBA finals and right now
It is looking in editable but the nuggets have already proven twice that they can beat the Celtics and not to mention the Nuggets didn’t even have their best games shooting it poorly from three in both of their wins over the Celtics meaning this nuggets team can
Still play a whole lot better which is just scary to think simply put guys this is joic and the Nuggets League until someone proves otherwise so it’s hard not to have the Denver Nuggets as the title favorite at this point I mean they just went out there and beat the Celtics
Twice they did it again and this is just the team that plays their best ball when it matters and they are just so so clutch in crucial parts of a game we’ve seen it so many times even going back to that Lakers game there’s not a team in the league that simply executes
Flawlessly in crunch time making it absolutely Mis y for their opponents and they just do it so routinely that it’s become a part of them this is a clutch tough opponent to put out and we are going to see that again this postseason run so guys let me know your thoughts on
This nuggets team do you think the nuggets are going to repeat and do you think nicoa yic is going to win another MVP award let me know your thoughts down below drop a like on the video subscribe to the channel if you are new that is it
For me it’s Lucas signing off as always thanks so much for watching I will catch you all again in the next Video he
The Denver Nuggets are still the team to beat.

Nice man I'm enjoying the Nuggets content. Be well and be safe
Altitude!!!
Celtics in the finals? We steal game 1 or two. Then it's over.
Gordon is a blessing that never made the press’s allstar status.
Another note on the 1 seed, Denver does also have the easiest schedule of the 4 western conference contenders
The Nuggets proved against Boston they can play with the top teams with a producing bench if Tyson and Strawther develop into good players they will be even better they can both shoot better than Braun and Watson and play defense
I really thought the Timberwolves where the nuggets hardest challenge. Sorry to hear Kat went down. See that the Nuggets only made 4 3's and won. Can Celtics only make 4 and win?
AG cleaning up under the rim
if they don't have any injuries, I think they'll repeat
Yet lefraud media (nick wrong, shannon dull and kendrick fartkins) all maintain that the lakers are a threat in the west ans could still win the championship. So lame and pathetic.
OKC will destroy them
They have very good chance but I wish to see how will go with Clippers they are for me one of best team better then Boston
didnt they just lose to the Suns at home 2 days ago?
Pwat will get almost the same minutes as mpj by the end of this playoff run…
It's kinda unfair how tougher the Western Conference is, in order to win the title a title contender from the West will likely have to play 3 out of 4 strongest teams in the league (excluding themselves, of course) whereas Boston will have to play only one in the grand final.
How many Centers in NBA history takes a T-shot?.. thats unheard of!
The Nuggets play the Wolves 3 times in the next month. That’s a possible 1 1/2 game swing. No KAT.
legit thought his name was "Poor Zingis"
Jokic and Gordon are a joy to watch. They are so in sync it’s truly beautiful.
Not a Denver fan but I can see them winning it again this year.
Aron "the doorman" Gordon
i never thought celtics was the best team in the nba
Such a solid group of guys with the best player in the nba
