Despite sitting atop the Western Conference through half the season, history suggests that the Denver Nuggets are more pretenders than championship contenders on account of their underwhelming defense.
But in this particular season of unprecedented NBA parity, and with this particular, Nikola Jokic-led cast of characters, the Nuggets say forget history. With a defense that may not be as bad as the numbers indicate, Denver has the goods to get the job done and bring home the first NBA championship in franchise history.

Too much D going on here lmfaoo pauseeee 💀💀🤧ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Casuals claims there's no D in this league anymore, just look at Joker's arm at the end. those are scratches from defenders.
Sorry still take Celts over Nugs
2:14 yes! Transformers
Jamal was a very good defender before his injury he’ll get back to that
Do some better research, over last the 15 games nuggets are top 3 in defense.
Just look at the Jok's cuts on his arm on that last photo… Damn
Their offense is not even at 100% yet…
If you watched them recently, You gonna notice that even other players like Gordon and Murray are starting to make passes…
And of course MPJ and Murray are not 100% also…
A 100% Murray and MPJ + Playoff Jokic 30/10/5 + Aaron Gordon…
Good Luck defending that offense bro….
the denver nuggets are going to win the championship this year
We ready
No defense? Aren’t they 5th or 6th in points allowed? That’s pretty decent, not great but I think respectable
