  11. Embarrassing Nuggets effort against a completely garbage team. I get the amount of virtually playoff energy and intensity the Nuggets have had to play with to survive this incredible stretch of injuries. But this was the worst effort they've had over the last 3 weeks or so. Washington is complete, utter trash. Glad for the W but if they play this way tomorrow v Charlotte they'll get blown out.

  16. Not just Murray but MPJ, Gordon, and Watson are all incredible the moment Jokic is gone. It's just that the Nuggets of course built around Jokic are not going to flow well when the star of the system is not there, but individually they've all been great. People have been saying the Nuggets need a better team but the truth is maybe an unathletic Center who defensively, only plays for rebounds and passing lanes is the problem.

  33. To all the Jokic haters and people who dont watch Nuggets or even care about them, this one is for you. Yes, this is best Nuggets team, but you have forgotten all the past years. So please stop with takes how they play wors with Jokic or how they dont need him. If you watched any of the games, you would see them struggling against tanking teams. That is reality that you like to ignore. Plus, the 4th easiest schedule for this month has something with that. So please stop wasting your time on Nuggets, I just can't wait until Nuggets fully healed and wins 2nd chip what kind of delusional takes you will have against Jokic.
