Fantastic analysis. Happy 2026!
Im concerned Gordon isn’t taking proper care of his hydration needs by his smoking or alcohol consumption. Gordon is needed to compete for the championship.
Jamal was doubled and trapped all night. But Jamal and P-Wat are the key starters at this point
I’d like to see CB and AG play Sunday and rest against the Sixers. Then play vs the Celtics while playing limited minutes off the bench.
D. Holmes was brilliant in the Summer League and last night was his first meaningful minutes in a game as a pro.
Big time challenge put on Jamal. Watson's "pressure is privilege" is an adage of positive attitude I adore.
They just gotta stay above water for now. And then hopefully win this championship
i will take a 8th seed appearance lets just get healthy for the playoff push
Right now nobody is Terrified of us… but wait til we get healthy. Joker back in 2 1/2 weeks and still wins mvp and Braun and AG almost back
If the Nuggets are a top five seed in the west David Adelman should be in talks for coach of the year
It wont last forever out of the 10 next game they might win 2 more , max 3 that's it. By the time joker comes back they will be 5-6th in the west.
Ya if we ever get healthy…5 of our top 7 or 8 guys hurt is beyond ridiculous. Too bad we don't play in the garbage,WNBA esque Eastern Conference. I haven't watched yet if I say something you touched on but definitely will. But AG,& Braun should be back very soon,& hopefully we can hang in there for a month or so. Nugs might end up being the scariest 6 seed or play in team of alltime-lol. Just gotta hang in there,& steal a few games like last night,(or coming up in Brooklyn maybe?)& hope ya get some scoreboard help next few wks. Like OKC playing GS tomorrow..We need to pull for OKC,& SA when they are playing West playoff,& play in contenders like that-probably Hou & Minny even. Til we get healthy-might be kinda counter intuitive for fans to realize who it's more beneficial for us to root for or against elsewhere in the West. Nows not the time to concern yourself with how OKC or SA are doing or catching them. And prepare for Minny,& Hou to probably blow past us.But that's fine if they do it by consistently beating teams we REALLY need to lose for now.
GS,Lakers,PHX-even Portland,Memphis,& too lesser degree Dallas,Utah,& LAC-those are the teams we need to lose some games. Not Houston or Minny,& definitely not OKC or SA. (unless they are playing each other or somebody out East obviously-then definitely pull against them).But Nugs could be kinda like the defending Champ Rockets in 1995 who added Drexler,& were like a 46 win 6 seed but did repeat winning all 4 series on the road. Beat 4 teams that won over 50 games,& I think 2 that won 60+. But Nuggets last 2 yrs have been a much better road team than home anyways. Who knows why but they really have. Even last yr-set their Alltime record for road wins in the regular season but "only" won 50 games cuz they damn near lost as many home games as road. As somebody who works at them,& the Avalanche arena-its frustrated,& blown our minds why theyve been so bad at home.(by the standards of a contender) Just sucks right now-big Val now out a month. But it could've been much worse. Our season could've ended -with Jokics-in Miami the other night. Thank God everybody is expected back long before the end of the regular season with plenty of runway left to gel before April.
Jokic will come back I less than 4 week
This is a prime opportunity for Jamal to stat stuff.
Actually they did trade MPJ and a first for 12 ppg. It opened up needed cap space to create all this depth that you're boasting about. Sure, there was a hope that Cam would do better. But a significant drop-off on offense was always going to be a possibility.
The only thing I expect is from Watson to break the basket sometime in Jan.
Is it true they brought back Cousins?
Jokic should come back after 3 weeks and play a couple minutes a game, just to stay in the race, and then rest during all star weekend. That would really throw people off! Do it Yoke!
4 starters out, and our backup center. I BELIEVE IN THE NUGGETS
Jokic will be back before they think!!!!!!!
No one is terrified of the Nuggets. They are almost as decimated as the Dallas Mavericks were last year. They were barely winning with Jokic, now Big Val is out. I'm hopeful for Da Ron, but it going to be a very tough stretch.
