The Denver Nuggets are a Lottery Team without Nikola Jokic
The Nuggets with another preposterous loss last night, one of the many terrible losses they have logged on the season to this point. It highlights the glaring nature of just how bad this team is and how lousy they would be if they didn’t have the league EASY MVP.

Imagine luka with joker
Jokic and Murray's off court minutes pretty much overlap, bear that in mind
they are missing 3 starting players. saying they dont look like contenders is just stupid.
What if a phone had 200 battery life have a charge mode(charge by itself)can turn into a duel screen for mobile gaming but also can convert into a home console
I think that he will win it this year. I just don't know if he can get a chip to go with it
trash channel
Every time. 7 of their last 9 games they've lost we're double digit leads in the second half, mostly in the fourth. If Jokic isn't taking every shot and hitting 90% of them like on Christmas, Denver can't win.
We've never seen a center lead the league in rebounds and assists. He's the only player right now in the whole league averaging double digit assists which is crazy when you see how easy it is to get an assist these days. Jokic is so incredible, let's not forget to relish every moment and enjoy him while we can because he's human (presumably) and will retire on us one day.
I don't remember the last nuggets rookie breakout year. It feels like in the last 5-6 years they really didn't use their drafts well at all
Say the same for most teams if you took the top player off the team
Moral of the story …. Don't take Jokic out of the game.
The Denver bench is now getting good minutes with the starter injuries. If the starters return with a month or two left in the season, a more experienced bench will help in the playoffs.
The injuries haven't really affected the starting 5 much because of Jokic, but the decent to not horrid performance of the bench has cratered as their best have been forced into the starting lineup. Until those guys start getting back, it's gonna be a repeat on the last couple seasons where they play like a 60+ win team with Jok on the court & a top 5 lotto team when he's off.
Im sure okc would still be the same without caruso, hartenstein and chet.. im sure Sga could also carry the team withiut em ššš
I been saying this for awhile now on the Nuggets without Jokic lmao.
Loving these stats blowing away the 'SGA is an elite defender' argument, Skap.
The nuggets are single handedly going to cost jokic the mvp this year because APPARENTLY pundits think mvp is a team trophy š
Jokic cant get even one all-star, all-nba or all-defense teammate wtf.
Agree with a lot except for the notion they are destined for another early exit. They are so much better than prior years (record and net rating) and that's whilst missing 2 players most of the season. If they're fit, they are favourites against anyone in a 7 game series
You know what sucks any other team loses they will tell you they are missing other due to injuries they never say that about Denver they are missing 3starters from the team and no one says anything
This is coming from a life long Nuggets fan. Not sure what this dude sees in us. Iād want 0 part of this organization if i was him
Well said He is the true MVP
This is false narrative but ok.
I'm betting on San Antonio in 2026. But would be happy for the Serb if he wins his second nugget.
