They will be good 😀
Reggie was terrible, his shot selection and lack of decision making was 60% of bench failures, I am confident russ will turn the ball over less and will make far better decisions, the second Reggie cleaned out his locker the nuggets got better
How do the starters play faster… anyone buy Jamal brings the ball up.
Denver is cucked this year to much hopium .First round exit this year mark my words 😀
Still lying about Holiday playing more minutes than Watson I see.
The bench won multiple wolves minutes due to holiday and you're joking about KD torching him? Because we want to pretend Watson had an offense? Corny.
Get two players in January, like Dallas did last season. Can go to the finals again. Gru is back in town, Canadian sucks, lose weight dude.
The funniest and the saddest thing is that everybody knows that 35 y.o. Russ on veteran minimum is better no1 option than our "second best player" who just got the max. Everyone says, and rightfully so, that the bench this season will be better. Murray (max player) -10per100 and now we expect the bench to be somewhere around 0per100. It's so funny how few games can define smbdys carrier. Murray hit some shots in some games when nobody was guarding him and some people say he's that player, dudes, that is called variance. If the guy is good for 20 games in his carrier and bad/mediocre in 500 games, guess what? He's bad or mediocre player. (not saying he's can't get better, there's certainly huge room for improvement, but LET'S NOT REWRITE HISTORY)
The East (if healthy of course) is not as bad as you’re making them out to be they’re just not as deep as the West.
Celtics
Knicks
Bucks
76ers (legit big 3 even though I’ll believe Embiid good/healthy in playoffs when it happens)
Pacers (if healthy we are deep I just hope Carlisle plays Mathurn & Walker more…We outplayed Celtics 3/4 games we lost and Hali missed 2 games + Mathurin the whole playoffs)
Magic
Cavs
Heat
That’s a legit top8 teams who CAN win 48-50+ games each if things go well and they’re healthy. That list above not necessarily in order although Heat prob last (though if 100% healthy I could still see them win 48-50 games).
West def > depth and they have more of the top10 players, but I just think East top8 better than given credit for now (especially top4-6).
Wizards Nets Blazers prob the 3 worst teams in NBA this year. Raptors could tank as well, but they at least have some solid young talent.
Sup guys! To answer my own question, the team good team that will be better than people think (other than Denver) will be the Pacers and the bad team that will be worse than people thought would be the Wizards.
Would appreciate it if you guys read the question before answering it 🙂
If jokic doesn’t up he s scoring to 31 per game i think we ll barely be a playin team
I think that in the west, Memphis will not be in the playoffs. I watched the preparatory games. He completely forgot that he plays basketball, he is skinnier than before, Jekson junior was injured again… the only one who showed something was 7 Adama. Adama is an excellent player and would be a good fit for Denver.
