Denver will lose in the 1st round if they have to play the Warriors. Jalen has literally been saying Denver will make the finals for 5 yrs 😂😂
Enough love. Time for ESPN to forget about the nuggets for about 2 months and start covering LeBron toenail issues.
As a nuggets fan i think both team are the same level ,it will be a great basketball game
It's either Denver, Memphis, or Boston winning the chip this year and that's it.
Is Stephen A feeling OK? Did he hit his 🤕 head?! He's actually giving the nuggets credit?!
They keep bringing up ja like he is the equalizer, when he doesn't even match up with jokic as the #1 star in a potential series, really I don't think Jackson is as good as mpj in head to head. This really isn't close. When denver has aaron gordon as the 4th best player…
First round exit , jokic don’t do nothing in the playoffs
I will come back to this video after the grizzlies win the chip
No way Denver lose to Memphis brooo 🙃💯😂
Don’t sleep on the kings!
My Lord .. Stephen A Smith and Michael Wilbon have uttered the words – "Denver Nuggets" on Television.
I'm imagining a possible Bucks vs Nuggets finals…and that sounds even MORE BORING than that Bucks Suns finals. No thanks.
Bruh nuggets grizz suns all front runners
Cause the nuggets don't have a superstar that's playing like a superstar. Lol
Grizzlies will win the west
Grew up in COS and my family is all from north MS, so I go for the Grizzlies anytime they aren't playing the Nuggets. Crazy to see so much hype around both of my small-market 'local teams' at the same time.
Joker is more exciting than Morant, imo.
2 seasons ago memphis was coming out of the play in. So for my grizzlies, I can’t believe we are in this conversation so soon!!
I feel like Denver has been good for a bit but just had injuries
However, I do think Memphis is the next team up
FINALLY STEPHEN HAS SOMETHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT MY TEAM! I'M GOING TO CRY!
Memphis winning it all this year, I'm from the future
Go figure that Stephen A would give a backhanded compliment. He calls them the best in the west without any enthusiasm, but then goes on to get excited about Ja who's an inferior player to Jokic and claims that he alone could beat the Nuggets
I pick the Grizzlies mainly because they're currently ranked first in defensive rating. The Nuggets really struggle on that end at times.
Watch warriors win again warriors not loosing 4 games to no team healthy in playoffs series
Best team in the west?
You think they'd fart upon that chest?
You think they'd rise up n' be the best?
You think this team can pass all these tests?
Oh jeez we will see joker is out next game.
i just hope those voters don't rob Joker of his 3rd straight MVP.. some voters might try to give it to someone else because he won it two years in a row.. he legit has a case to win it again 💯
They riding Joikc Nutz hard
Yea looks good and sounds good lol
He plays in Denver settle down, winning chip…
Is Jokic wins a chip in Denver, he should be remembered as the top 3playes of all time. Any idiot can win chip in La,Boston… with 3 superstars in the team
CAP
Jalen’s point about murray only stands when he’s playing against Donovan Mitchell, anyone else and he plays like the 3rd best player on a chip team which will ultimately set the nuggets back per usual
Thanks for showing us Denver people some love Steven A.
I think Denver is the deepest team in the league arguably best starting 5 and Bones Hyland energy off the bench with Bruce Brown Jeff Green Christian Braun the rookie got some potential DeAndre Jordan and if Porter Jr stays healthy they should make the Finals maybe
Na their defense is a big problem
Man oh man… If Nuggets can make a history in my in this generation, I can finally have something to say to the next generation on why I'm a lofe long fan.
Pelicans are the best when they are healthy they have beaten both teams not a full strength
Grizzlies just stay getting hated on
Nicola jokic deserves a championship. The team is playing well together.
If Warriors can field a fully healthy team then they are the best in the West.
AG Hundo reminds me of what Andrew Wiggins became for the Warrior but better
Love the shoutout for Coach Malone. The team and city love him and rightfully so.
