Last year, the nuggets had by far the worst bench in the league, AND Jamal missed 23 games so we had to move the only guy who could create from the bench to the starting lineup, and we still matched our franchise win total. Braun may not be KCP level on defense, but he's still matches KCP in most things except for screen navigation and transition defense, and as for offense, he averaged 11 fewer minutes than KCP and didn't benefit from playing next to Jokic in the majority of minutes, and he still only averaged 3 fewer points. He shot 38% on 2 attempts while having Reggie Jackson as his primary creator instead of Jamal or jokic. Could easily see him average 37-38 on higher volume this year, although will miss KCP's ft line jumper though we didn't go to it much last season. And as for our bench, we're going from dead last to our floor being closer to 20th worst in the league, and I don't think people are recognizing how much of a benefit it will be that our starters won't have to make up a ten point gap every time Jokic checks out. We're winning MINIMUM 55 games this year, baring injury to Jokic
Denver won 48 games without Jamal, MPJ, and KCP in 2022. Monte Morris, Will Barton, and Jeff Green were starting next to Jokic and AG. Also, the bench was even worse. I’d take the over
Bucks need a trade badly to get younger and reset the clock. Safest bet out of these is Lakers under, half their games are on TV so they'll be hunted all season and they aren't very deep to begin with

KCP is a big loss but Westbrook makes up for it

Kenny got that MF DOOM shirt on 🔥🔥🔥
What’s up with this nuggets logic tho
nuggets suck
Yooo
The national media laker glaze is rubbing off now that y’all on espn. 😂 their roster sucks
Why do i feel like the bucks are gonna get the 1st or second best record in the league

Knicks under but at like 51 52
AD gon have his best year this year, mark my words
I went the opposite way every single team lmao
Damn KB is dripping🔥🔥🔥
never ever doubt Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets
Under knicks
Assuming Lakers are healthy they can reach 45 wins easily. They were riddled with injury last season. Besides 44 wins is just 3 wins above .500.
Nuggets done winning chips for the rest of Jokic career. Im calling it now 🫡
Laker over Knicks under nuggets over
AD gonna pop off this year, y’all already saw glimpses of him in the Olympics
Lakers didn’t get better. What makes them a 43 plus win team
i just don't get why people give the lakers a lot of credit 💀
I’m taking the bucks under easily their roster is old for sports
Dame 34
Khris Middleton 33
Brook Lopez 36
And doc rivers is there head coach in 2024
That black dude to those who watch UFC doesn't he look like Kevin Holland?
lakers down
All less
Lost KCP yes but got Westbrook and Dario to help the bench role which is what they really needed (also Dario shoot roughly same 3pt %)
Y’all don’t understand how scary the Lakers with a competent coach will be
