Can Anyone Stop The Nuggets?

Can Anyone Stop The Nuggets?

So the NBA All-Star break just ended thank God it was terrible it was God awful video we made age like a fine line but the good news is we’re less than two months away from the NBA playoffs and I got to say I’m hyped especially for the Western Conference you got the Clippers

And Suns the super teams they’re finally clicking the Thunder and Timberwolves trying to establish themselves couple other dark horses out there the Warriors playing better the Lakers but can any team really Dethrone the nuggets at this point it’s a tough ask I mean the defending Champions joic I think is

Still the best player in the world and you know Jamal Murray is the playoff Merchant he’s going to ball out drop 50 on someone’s head in the playoffs before we start talking about if any team can stop the Denver Nuggets please give the video a like subscribe

To the channel and hit the notification Bell so you never miss out any new videos so we’re recording this right before the games coming back on Thursday and the race at the top of the West is heating up you got the Timberwolves in first the Thunder Trail them by a game

And a half the Clippers two games back and then the nuggets in the four seed three games back so there’s a decent chance Denver does not get the top seed and actually they were one of the colder teams going to the all-star break they went five and five in their last 10

Including a three-game losing streak actually going into the All-Star break a bit surprising from them yeah but I mean two games against the Kings and then a road game against the Bucks like not super surprising and then in terms of getting the first seat I mean little bit of Championship hangover and they’re

Still in the mix like three games isn’t a huge deficit to make up but they are running out of time a little bit Yeah they also had some injuries kyp missed some games Murray missed the second half against the Bucks and then the last game against the Kings with tibia

Inflammation didn’t know that could happen but I mean as someone who’s broken their tibia before you know it could be it could flare up from time so they should be healthy coming back and their schedule really opens up post Allstar break yeah they got the eighth easiest remaining schedule they got the

Wizards on Thursday who they better beat and then they play the Spurs three times and they play the Blazers twice so I mean you know they’re picking up two wins against the Blazers yeah we’re going to that game on Friday but it’s going to be a loss we know that 100%

Surprisingly they haven’t really been the best team on the road they’re only 15 and 14 but come playoff time I always just trust the veteran teams to win on the road like remember LeBron’s Cavs teams struggle all regular season and then playoffs come they just flip the

Switch yeah I don’t really put too much mind into it also like I said earlier bit of a championship hangover so just cruising through the regular season make sure you actually just get to the playoffs and then turn on when you get there so let’s break down the team a bit

This year at first glance you’d see they’re 11th in defensive rating 13th in offensive rating they were fifth in offensive rating last year so you think their offense would be a bit worse they actually have a higher offensive rating this year because the scoring is out of

Control beyond crazy in the NBA this year we saw the All-Star Game yeah we did unfortunately it’s a problem yeah last year defense was their one big question mark going into the playoffs they were 15th last year in defensive rating and people were just kind of wondering like could you win a title

With an average defense and fair play to them they turned their defense up several notches in the playoffs yeah shot all the way up to Fourth they were stopping people the one actual concern for the Nuggets I think though is their bench they’re 25th in the NBA in bench

Scoring they’re getting just under 30 a game I’m just not sure if I can really trust the bench unit I mean Reggie Jackson is playing a lot better than we expected him to he’s putting up 11 points per game on decent shooting but their second leading scorer is Christian

Brown who yes played well in the NBA finals last year but he’s only averaging seven points a game and yes the rotation does shrink down a lot in the playoffs but I mean last year Bruce Brown was huge for them Jeff Green also gave them good minutes like in the NBA Finals like

It’s all about the stars but you do need at least Le one or two good guys off the bench yeah and in the playoffs in the finals there’s always got to be some dude Off the Bench who steps up and like I don’t know who that guy is going to be

Maybe Reggie Jackson just puts on a master class or Christian Brown plays well again but they got those then basically DeAndre Jordan that’s probably their eight-man lineup I don’t trust the bench a ton the starting lineup absolutely stacked but the bench I got a bit of question marks there I I tell you

A Reggie Jackson NBA Finals Master Class I’d love to see it would be something to see oh that would be fun NBA Twitter would have a f day with that one so now let’s talk about the potential teams that could dethrown them out west we’re only talking about the

Western Conference here and why we start with the Los Angeles Clippers there may be the hottest team in the league we’re both Clippers haters I’m sure everyone knows that and I think rightfully so because we’ve heard year after year oh this is the Clippers year Kawai and PG

Are going to get it done and every year they get injured and also on a personal level we just have a friend who won’t shut up about Ka one of the greatest players of all time literally said he was the third best player ever yeah just

Won’t shut up with that being said do you think the Clippers can finally do it this year is James Harden that missing piece no of course obviously look they’re dangerous they’re probably the hottest team in the league right now and they’ve been healthy so far this year

I’m just never going to buy Clipper stock until they actually do it plus the front Court death I mean they have some big bodies and some guys who are veterans but I’m not trusting zubot Mason plumbley Daniel Ty to handle yic it’s just not going to happen they’ve

Played him well this year so far which is kind of surprising but yeah I I don’t expect it to last now we got the wolves and I personally think this is a pretty dangerous matchup for the Nuggets now they did play in the playoffs last year

And the Wolves went down in five but I think of all the teams forget just the Western Conference I think all the teams in the NBA okay I think they have the best front Court rotation you got goar great defender one of the League’s best

You got cat not the best defender in the world but he’s a big body and and then you got nazri off the bench like I think ad would be the toughest individual Defender for joic to match up against but he’s not facing a lineup better than those three yeah and didn’t the Nuggets

Actually say the team that played them the toughest was the timberl last year and that was a completely different timberl team like this year they’ve jelled with goar they’re the first overall seed in the west so they might have home court for this series so yes I

Think very very dangerous but I think the Nuggets still Prevail in six or seven just cuz experience and I just don’t think even with that front Court you can stop joic see I don’t know if you can stop yic but I think the Wolves actually really could beat them in six

Or seven I think they could I don’t know if I would pick them but I think of all the teams in the west I think the wolves have the best shot to do it now another young upand cominging team how about the thunder I mean they’ve been great on

Both ends you love Shay I do love sh they just picked up Gord so they have some playoff experience could they be the team God no too early it’s a year early next year I mean they’ve been great like surpassed expectations they could still get the first seed but

Playoff experience you just need that and they really don’t have that what you mean they got Gordo you just said it I guess but everyone else I mean she’s played in a couple playoff series but he hasn’t been like the guy all the pressure on him and the other massive

Problem who’s going to guard yic I love Chad Chad’s going to try he’s skinny as hell he’ll felll out in the first half and we got to throw them in just because the Phoenix Suns now they’re clicking right now with their big three of Beal Booker and Durant they’re playing really

Well they did push the nuggets the farthest last year pushed them to six but I mean as Blazer friend we’ve seen this song and dance before love youf nurkic to death but the man couldn’t stop yic of his life dependent on it no ever since that one game he had like

Early on jokic has just owned him and in playoff series 2021 look up the numbers he dominated him and then Off the Bench true you Banks ain’t doing to slow down yic then beyond those four teams I mean who else like Lakers Warriors I mean the Lakers did really well last year yeah

They got swept last year I mean I wouldn’t want to play the Lakers in the first round but I’m the Nuggets I’m not worried Warriors they’re playing much hotter but who’s going to guard yic again Draymond he’ll get suspended more than he’s able to stop yic I tell you I

Would love to see Draymond try to slow down joic I mean they played him in that one playoff series in 2022 but now Murray’s here so a bit different yeah that was also before clay and Draymond had started to fall apart yeah completely true you got the picans I

Don’t know I just like the nuggets out west but who knows this playoff race is going to be crazy so what do you guys think what team do you like out West let us know in the comments below if you enjoyed the video please consider giving a like and
