Oh man, I have been having absolute coughing fits at how hard I've been laughing about this.

The one where they got him in carbonite about killed me.

The best part to me is Dwyane Wade being his usual whiny, defensive self trying to justify how it looks.

"Do you know how to create a statue? Same people aren't athletes like I am. So they don't know what it took to do this" yada yada yada bro just say this looks like dogshit and have fun with it being hilariously bad

Jokic ruining our chance at Flagg smh

Well yeah, that first video, the team account tries to play it off like the moment is “sinking in” when you know he’s exchanging a look with his son like “Yeah, I know, it sucks.”

Lol Jokic with the casual 29 pts, 18 reb, 16 assist triple double. Dude is a literal cheat code, it's his league and everyone else is just living in it.

Finally a good game from Russ.

Murray and Porter need to play better. For the whole game, every single night. This act where they disappear for long stretches and try to make up for it with short bursts of brilliance is not acceptable anymore. They're both max contract guys, it's time to play like it. Jokic is the best player in the world by as big of a margin as ever, and we're wasting it.

Not sure what you are expecting.

Russ is beyond washed.

Murray is regressing hard and looks slow.

Porter has always been mid and streaky.

The only way the Nuggets will win is games like the last 2 where Jokic goes god mode. He's got minimal help.

There's nothing wrong with calling players out. They all wanted the big money and the big role, they need to live up to that.

I still wonder why the Nuggets just don't seem to give a f*** about consistent outside shooting. And this predates Booth and even Connelly. Even in the short-lived KiKi Vandeweghe era they never even tried to upgrade on Voshon Lenard.

Agreed. In this day and age in the NBA you need multiple consistent deep threats. Simply something the Nuggets don't have.

If they were going to take a shot on a semi washed vet, it should have been Klay Thompson at least he still shoot the 3 ball. Hell I even think we were a part of that trade. Russ isn't it.

They won a title with iffy shooting. To me it's pretty simple, no team can handle the 2 point game of the Nuggets and they just need to use it more. I can't tell if they are worried about wearing themselves out but they go too many long stretches in the middle of games just passing around the perimeter and taking 3s which aren't their forte.

When Jokic is tired you see it, he takes a play off at the 3 line which really bogs down the offense. Gordon and MPJ need to work a two man game more with Braun in those instances and the bench needs to stop with the 1 on 1 hero ball possessions. Executing the offense consistently shouldn't be this hard and if it happens they will reduce the bad 3s. And when they get into bad 3s you see collapses where opponents easily get 10-0 runs on them

I don't think it'd ruin the Nuggets offensive strategy in the slightest if they could just hit a few more outside shots. Those games where KCP, Murray, and Porter hit fairly consistently more often than not led to an easy victory. The frustrating thing is that it feels like an all or nothing thing. When they start throwing bricks, they ALL suddenly can't hit a single shot to save their lives. Why can't they find ONE f***ing guy who knows how to sink it from 3 at a respectable clip and keep him!? It's not that much to ask.

This is especially true if they have to outscore their problems this year.
