This team is so frustrating cause they show they can hang with anyone but then fall asleep against bad teams and don't play physical against good teams
As soon as Jokic sits down they collapse!! Must trade before deadline or they are not going anywhere. This organization is destroying Joker. If they don't do anything this season, I would not extend contract with this team once it' expires.
@@karrarkahdum5094 he is constantly helping other on D. You dont understand team defence. All our guards get beat 1 on 1, so he has to help and then his man is free which then makes 3 or 4 to move across which opens their guards up if you are not quick to swich back fast enough. Make team defend 1 on 1 and Jokic is fine.
@@karrarkahdum5094 Did you actually watch the game? That's not what happened. They basically lost the lead and the game when Jokic sat after the third.
@@karrarkahdum5094 did u watch the game? Jokic did defend. The problem was in the start of the 4 quarter where the bench game in, the bulls just destroyed them, jokic was not on the court....so dont u dare blame a guy who had 33/12/14 with 1 block and steal. The bench only had 10 points.
I wouldn’t blame Jokic, but we should also probably start subtracting the totally uncontested baskets he gives up from his stat lines. He’s the best player on the team, but he absolutely takes huge chunks of the game off on defense, particularly in the games they lose like this. Rotations are part of team defense, and you can see when Jokic is actualily trying to guard, which he did in the fourth quarter. He did not in the first 3.
Bench is bad because the Starters are so lack luster they are permanent bench warmers and dont get mins to develop, Exception to Julian because he shown his worth really fast, Payton has been stagnant, and the others are forgettable
hes soo like idk SLOW. he doesnt move quick anymore. random pull up 3s too. wondering if coming off the bench is throwing his game off. even though he said hes okay with it
Either get better defenders or lit some fire under this team’s ass. It’s so crazy to me how some days they decide to play hard and lockdown but some nights they act like they don’t care. Better hope they start caring in the playoffs
I was not aware the Nuggets only had 8 men on their roster. Look if you're not going to defend, may as well play the other guys and not risk injury to your starters. Shades of the playoffs last year where the Nuggets just gassed out from fatigue. 🤷♂🤷♂ Of course Houston launching 53 3-point shots and making 24 of them doesn't help. Also rebounds wasn't that bad as Malone said it was 47 to 42. Problem was scoring and stops. Team made 6 three's. 😬😬
Nuggets are an Awful defensive team! Fundamentally and Effort-wise. My high school and even middle school teams play better fundamental defense! Whoever is the "So-Called" defensive coach should be fired! But, it ultimately all falls on the head coach. These players are getting paid way too much to show such apathy, lack of effort! And if Gordon is "healthy" then mentally he's off! Sad...
Just remember people, it's pre all star break. We are a top 5 team this month, climbing the west standings, and lets be honest.....who are we really afraid of in a series? Not MEM, HOU, CLE, or NYK. Havent seen any of them do much in the playoffs the last few seasons. Now is NOT the time to look like a championship team, good luck maintaining that level for until playoffs. We're gonna be ok
All of y’all saying trade jamal after one bad shooting game is comical. he’s been our 2nd best player these last 20 games. Y’all weren’t saying trade him last game against the T-Wolves tho🤷🏾♂️
It's really inexcusable not to use all the players in the regular season...the coach relies too much on the rotation he thinks will be in the playoffs...of course that causes all the consequences...WHERE IS THE FAMILY AND THE TEAM...If only some players play and the others can't even get 10 minutes every second or third game
It's one of those things where you're so over-reliant on a star player that you overemphasise his centrality in your game plan and as a result of which you only know how to play one way and that too the guy has to be on the floor. The irony is that if Jokic were to leave, Denver would probably become a more well-rounded and better team since they'd be forced to adapt to a new way of playing. There is too much systemic inertia and stagnancy in Denver; needs an overhaul to bring in fresh ideas and tactics.
as much as i despise lebron, were the cavs better immediately after he left? they werent. And jokic is 2x better than prime lebron, which says alot about how little help he has.
No we need players who are consistent and who can score consistently. Jokic is crazy consistent whereas he's the only one who is. Russ and CB are really holding it down and pulling their weight but we need to make trades and bring in help both defensively and consistent scorers, especially consistent 3 point scorers. How can we have the best player and passer in the world and have no top 3 point support? Jokic would average near 20 assists PG with more consistent scorers, especially with consistent 3 point scorers. He gives them so many open looks but if they aren't shooting well we go life and death or lose and that happens regularly
@ Denver had that in 2023. What happened? Why have Murray and Porter Jr. done a Houdini? They're come to over rely on Jokic, that's what happened; to the detriment of improving their own games.
Adapting to a new way of playing won't make you a better team if you don't have the right personnel. There are plenty of crap teams in the NBA who've had multiple coaching changes and they, guess what, remained crap teams.You take Jokic off this team and they're almost a lottery team. No current max contract guy in the league in place of Jokic would make this team any better than it is now.
That would be the best move at the moment but it's not possible. Jamal can't be traded before the end of the season because he just signed extension. The real problem can't be traded, Nuggets are cooked this season.
Nuggets have been the 2nd best team over the last 5 years by a comfortable margin. Only team better in that time is Boston. I get that it sucks losing to bad teams but almost every team is worse than us 😂😂😂 idk what people expect....a warriors 72 win season?? Idk what these other teams have shown thats got people so nervous for us 😂😂😂
Get Westbrook out of the starting lineup his perimeter defense kills them against good teams. Or put Jamal second team you cant have 2 guards on the court who can't guard anyone one on one.
@@damondoran3945 Man what he the only one playing hard and defense all season long don't do that fam stop that don't even say his name the wrong way it's them other bums that's playing soft and weak
@@flicity-xr3tm He's not a good perimeter defender...not really debatable lol If you want to keep getting torched by 3 pointers then just leave Westbrook and Murray out there...the best teams just run the Nuggets off the court so far this season.
This team is so frustrating cause they show they can hang with anyone but then fall asleep against bad teams and don't play physical against good teams
These weak Bulls are your daddy! Hahha
Actually they get blown out by the elite teams. How many really good teams have they beaten?
@@damondoran3945they beat OKC and some really decent teams
@@damondoran3945beat the thunder with chet in the lineup
Jamal be eating too much from that salary cap!
JM shooting 8/20 how r u supposed to win
You can only win with this clown sitting on the bench.
Using a 8 man rotation at this point in the season, while every player is fit is crazy! Just shows how bad this team’s depth really is…..
Yall just say some BS, Nuggets had 4 players on the injury report
As soon as Jokic sits down they collapse!! Must trade before deadline or they are not going anywhere. This organization is destroying Joker. If they don't do anything this season, I would not extend contract with this team once it' expires.
Actually no soon as they put the bench with jokic they go down n jokic can't defend for shit

Bench was outscored 41-10

Payton has been great on defense
Gordon is not well. Physically or mentally, something is off. I don't care about missing shots; it is the effort and body language.
He's been like that for years now. Unless he and MPJ show up, Nuggets won't go anywhere this season. People keep blaming Murray, it's those 2.
hes soo like idk SLOW. he doesnt move quick anymore. random pull up 3s too. wondering if coming off the bench is throwing his game off. even though he said hes okay with it
It seems to me that the coach is not able to motivate the players anymore. For some reason...
Fire Malone
We need defense that's it's
You can't win with 10 points off the bench in 61 total minutes played . Compare to bench points from MN or Chicago both scoring over 40 bench points.
Loved Jokic, Braun and Westbrook in this game. MPJ and Murray are just not consistent enough performers.
Either get better defenders or lit some fire under this team’s ass. It’s so crazy to me how some days they decide to play hard and lockdown but some nights they act like they don’t care. Better hope they start caring in the playoffs
Can somebody tell me what EXACTLY are doing in the team:
Saric - 5.1 mil
Nnaji - 8.9 mil
Cancar - 2 mil
Holmes - 3 mil
What 50+ mil Jamal is doing?
I am Croat and I would dump Šarić in a heartbeat. Also, you are correct about others as well.
2 are injured. Y’all need to stop beting on games. They are humans not paid actors!
@@petarpetrovic8347 What is 36 mil MPJ doing?
@@Primitive_Code 40% plus career 3 point. Worth it. He had a bad game.

What happens is last two games are on you, sometimes you simply have to put Jokic a full 4th quarter when the game is breaking.
Just remember people, it's pre all star break. We are a top 5 team this month, climbing the west standings, and lets be honest.....who are we really afraid of in a series? Not MEM, HOU, CLE, or NYK.

Porter can also try to wear a headband
Trade MPJ saric strawther and whoever isn’t named Jokic and cb for Levine and dosonmu
Yoo
Strawther is good but saric and deandre is not doing good so i would think they should trade fir a great center
Good idea, take a formula that's been successful the last 5 years and turn it on its ass.
Trade Jamal for lavine
That would be the best move at the moment but it's not possible. Jamal can't be traded before the end of the season because he just signed extension. The real problem can't be traded, Nuggets are cooked this season.
