The Denver Nuggets were flat from the opening whistle. They gave up 49 points to the Toronto Raptors in the FIRST QUARTER. The lead ballooned for the Raptors and the Nuggets trailed by as many as 24. They made it interesting and pulled within 3 at one point before a final bench stint doomed the Nuggets and the Raptors pulled away. It’s another loser’s lounge.

This season is cooked, just prepare for next and the off season trade period. Murray must go and be packaged and traded for a 2nd all star. Holiday, Brown, Booker, Harden, Davis and the list goes on are all the second options in those contenders, please don’t try tell me nuggets can win anything with Murray as second option. People are just unrealistic with their expectations…..
I'm losing confidence in this team…..bad rotation by Coach Malone and Inconsistent 3rr quarter where they play bad defense….. Remember that 2013 playoffs where they choke
I wish you would stop talking about Toronto getting a bad call vs Nuggets! Imagine Lakers fans would talk when they won on a bad call, and I do not say it was bad, you do. Do not make bad narratives to be used.
Joker playing without real all star player, without all NBA player of any kind, no help, no nothing. He should demand help or go ring chase and leave Denver.
always said jamal was a fraud and this confirms it. can't stay healthy or play consistent
Well Jamal is not good. Also Bruce Brown continues to be trash in key moments. Malone let Jamal play 40 minutes too LMAO what an idiot
Few things:
-Murray doesn't need rest, if he needed it, he would be resting. Obviously, he is out of rhythm, and he is trying to get himself into one and that is costing the team. He needs to get out of his head a bit and just try and play simple basketball for a game or two and then build stuff up from that. This I dribble the ball for 20 seconds than take a fallaway shot over a defender needs to stop.
-Nuggets aren't going anywhere if every single night Jokic leads the team in every single category. Guys need to start to contribute.
-Crashing the glass against MPJ and Gordon is super effective strategy. Those guys don't box out, they just to get the ball but they aren't good "team" rebounders. This should be addressed, or it will be a big problem in playoffs.
-KCP has under the radar taken the backseat on offense. Nuggets should get him more opportunities for spot up 3s.
-AG free throws, 60% is not good enough. If his focus doesn't improve from the line, his FT shooting may cost as a very important game in playoffs.
-Brown stats look good tonight, but his lost live dribble to I think FVV after which he then made a foul for And1 may have lost us the game. He is also playing poorly.
-Bryant looking lost out there, absolutely no clue what to do and where to go.
-Green is giving effort but it's simply not amounting to much. He should be behind Vlatko in rotation.
-And for the end biggest one. Most of these could be fixed or at least dampened by good coaching. Malone since all-star break and if you ask me, since forever hasn't steered this team in right direction. He relies on Jokic so much that once Nikola isn't on court you can see Malones imprint or lack there off. This team without Jokic has no clue how to play on any end of the floor. It's absolutely unacceptable, for this team to have a better defensive rating with Jokic on court then with him off. That for me a sackable statistics that should get Malone off this team after the season ends. This defensive minded coach has no clue how to setup team defensively and his tantrums on and off the floor aren't helping. He is not good, and he needs to go.
Giannis the mvp good night
I know u guys like him a lot but can we start being real???? MM needs to go he did what he could but now he looks completely lost…
MM took us as far as he could….He ain't a technical coach he is/was lucky to find and see Jokic….but the shit he is doing in the playoffs are absurd….
Adam thinks MM is a great coach but he ain't at all
Just stop to play freaking Jeff Green
He is 37 for God sake cant keep up so long in game
Denver has 25-7 (78%) when Vlatko has 15+ mins and Malone again back to the old Jeff 🙄
somehow jamal is angry at himself ,injury ,not going like he wants ect a bit ego problem maybe also ,not good for him and not for denver ,chris brown,kcp still ,gordon play from great to good also ,still time to find each other ,but jamall injury knee? hm really not geting malone why he must play now injured ,because he wants? wtf
Malone has ultra athletic 3D wing Peyton on the bench and he didnt even try with him. He sticks to the 37 old Jeff like before with Barton, Facu, JMG etc🙄
Keep the bill till the end of the season, than light winning cigars with it.
16:50 this is absurd this defense is not good enough to be a championship favorite
Again, Malone is our Mark Jackson
The 3 biggest problems. Malone minutes rotation. Jokic and mpj should be taking 18-20 shots every game. And obviously the defense. Murray is the biggest culprit for all three right now
Bruce Brown without Jokic this year has a worse defensive rating and net rating than Bones Hyland did without Jokic last year.
Bones was never the problem with the bench. We've got to stop playing two primary ball handlers with that unit.
Nuggets got too close, that's why Malone didn't bring back Jokic and Porter. If the lead was 10, he would bring them back in earlier, they would have a better chance of winning, weird stuff
It's not just that Murray had so many bad games in this season, problem is his style of playing that doesn't match Nuggets culture in the last couple of seasons. Jokic has set up way of playing for this team that Murray can't or doesn't want to fit in. Instead of constant sharing the ball, he's choosing to dribble way too much, wasting time on offensive side, missing open Jok way to often, ending up with tough self created shoots. And guy is not very good catch and shoot player also. I don't have problem him shoots 18-20 times when he's cooking but he does it even when he has a terrible games. The credit that Malone has for Murray is ridiculous
It is simple: Jamal Murray is out of form and Malone doesn't know how to fix that. Malone is hoping Jokic will fix it. Jokic also lost intensity on the defensive end. This sucks. I lost confidence in this team. I went from title hope to hoping we don't get bounced in the first round of playoffs.
Basically we need to fix these two things in order to be successful: Jamal has to be brought back to form. Bench/alternative lineups need to be fixed.
If we don't fix those things, we are not getting through the first round.
Your perception of Nikola Jokić is completely wrong. From his first days he wanted and still wants to play basketball and eventually win the game. He has never and will never think about being the best, being a champion. For this reason, the Denver Nuggets will never be NBA champions with him.
I completely understand him and consider his natural position to be completely legitimate and clear. He took the money, especially by Serbian standards, he lives the way he likes. And what does he care about all those meaningless NBA statistical records of yours anyway?!
The problem is not that we are not educated, the problem is that we are educated enough to believe what we have been taught, but not educated enough to question it. When/If local media starts asking proper and legit questions to our coach/players/FO, hold them accountable without a fear of losing your journalist accreditation, then and only then we and everyone else will look at Nuggets as a serious organization aming to become champions and not a laughing stock.
Found on internet that if you cut the corner of 2 dollar bill, you get rid of curse
