Bro I have always hated Jamal's attitude
What wrong with him?
He seems very ungrateful about everything and very arrogant. I hate it. He was always like this so this is nothing new
Jamal is a little arrogant. Not the most likeable guy. However, the new players are all awesome and I'm happy we get the Westbrook energy injected into the lineup. Jokic about to get his 4th MVP. WHOO!
Jamal is just an asshole lol he probably will get worse now that he’s signed his contract. Most NBA players are anyways.
hey, murray, all you have to do is show up in shape, play consistently, and the conversation changes and everybody loves you again. imagine being grumpy when you make millions playing a game.
Of course you don't need to be Boston-like team when it comes to shooting…BUT there's a break point when you lack shooting so much that you can't play basketball. And that quote really scares me…basketball is a cat and mouse game. Make your opponent to focus on something and then you levarage it into getting good shots. It doesn't matter if those are 3s or 2s. But when you don't have any shooting suddenly your good shots become bad shots, because you don't spread the floor and there's 3 guys guarding you…
During the playoffs, i was "Man Murray has a bad shooting/playing day". Didn't wrote anything negative on social media, or talked with friends. I didn't even expected from him to say anything regarding last season because it is in the past.
And i understand he is maybe hurt with stories about his play in playoffs and Olympic, but as fan, I expected from him to talk about next season. And he was so dismissive or uninterested to talk about it..
Glad others were so pumped to bring me will to get up in the middle of the night to watch them and root for them.
The amount of butthurt over Jamal is always worth a good laugh. Today's winner was Vogt saying Jamal should lie and put on a false and fake presentation that youlll know is fake but will make you feel better. This isn't politics where people find validation thru being lied to their face.
Joker doesn't like to do media but every once in awhile his persona shines thru. Murray is the same except he doent come across as charming because he just wants to get thru media sessions and might not have a pleasant personality. People got offended way more with Kawhi at first until they just accepted thays hes not like everyone else snd thst it doesn't affect his play. Whats funnier is that Russ was way, way, way worse with media in his prime.
And in both Russ and Jamal's case, i don't care. I don't need to hear the same generic questions amd regurgitated answers.
I need effort on the court and the appropriate numbers. Availability is also important but that isn't contrôlable.
Do i need to hear Harden, Trae, Steph speak? Nah. It brings nothing of value but content. Not every nba playets speaks well or has anything to say.
I much prefer to hear the vets kike Austin Rivers (who was very informative), Uncle Jeff and Uncle Paul during the season.
When i want to feel safe going up to mountains or drive north 9hrs in -25 weather and snow, ill take a truck every time.
Harrison wind is a chump
we don't need more bufflebros mansplaining sports takes
Not to be that guy but ads frequency is becoming ridiculous, it's like every 5 minutes..
I legit think the smuggets are back with Westbrook and here to stay!! lol LFG
I have officially emerged from my depression caused by the playoff loss last season. I'm refreshed and optimistic once more.
Calvin Booth told you everything you need to know about this season and Jokic future in one sentence ..
Jokic probably have 5 more years of his prime on this team and it will incredibly hard to win another one (championship)..
Basically telling you if Jokic is lucky he will win one more with this organization (as the best player in the world it shouldnt be on any decent team) GG WP 0 rings in 5 years..
As for Jamal kid is just a terrible human being as you could see in this Press C ..
I LOVED Russ’s answer on winning the chip. I think more than anything it showed Russ is going to tell the truth every time regardless.
“Whatever it is this is the limit” made me blow a snot bubble. Vogt brings the best humor to the table.
Nuggets championship next year I am calling it
Dario may have my favorite accent and shaky English in Nugggets history.
Mr. Nugget smacked that mic drop!!!
AG is God-King Nugget
Just don’t play Westbrick in the 4th quarter
Shout out to jokić and his GOATee
Every time i hear booth speak im reminded that he should be fired
Booth is a dud
Westbrook is absolutely good value at a vet minimum. Even on the Lakers he would have been good fit if 2-3 million per year instead of 47 million per year (if it was vet minimum they def keep KCP Caruso Kuzma Howard etc). The biggest issue is he was overpaid by more 8-10x.
If he was making 40+ million this would be horrid fit on nuggets (or any team) post 2020 bc then the rest of your team is greatly diminished depth wise and he’s expected to be a top3 player on your team.
As a number 5-8 on a team at the vet minimum he absolutely is good value with zero risk.
IF Nuggets healthy going into the playoffs I’m taking them over ANYONE in 7 game series. Go look at how ILLmatic Murray was last year vs Celtics when they were 2-0 and come back to say his stats.
LAST YEAR with healthy Murray (or much closer to it) Nuggets won at a 62 game pace and had unreal +15 or so per 100 with Jokic Murray on court. Then the year before that in playoffs when he was healthy they were 16-4 when Murray was a top3-5 player in the playoffs (best guard for his 2nd straight playoff on team went to final 4 and title).
AG coming back was always almost a lock. Not sure why fans thought he may be gone.
Booth’s math was wrong. If they have a 10 year run with 20-21 being the first year then they still have 6 more full seasons not 5. Jokic can be ILLmatic another 6-7 years if he really wanted to be given his game (maybe longer a la Kareem, LeBron, Karl Malone etc).
