Denver Nuggets 2023-24.season.


Recommended Posts

"Nuggets" faced the "Blazers" tonight, all but one starters for the blazers out, jokic and murray didnt even make the trip, nuggets won by 3, rough game to watch, like 40 turnovers combined in the game, terrible basketball all around.

 

G league 2 way player Colin Gillespe played really well, very unsuspecting player, doesnt look like he would be effective, but smart and hustle goes a long way.

 

back home for Memphis monday, who also sucks, rumors that murray may sit again with sprained ankle. I expect Jokic to play.

 

sold my tickets for that one, first of a.5 game home stretch, the 4 following games are much better.

back tied with the thunder in theory, how the thunder have played 2 less games than denver at this point in the season is ridiculous.

 

OKC has more games, more road games, more games against playoff teams, than denver to end the season. as long as denver doesnt wet the bed they could easily climb into the 1 seed.

 

but frankly no one expects the thunder to make it to the Wester conference finals so denver would be the top seed probably anyway in that game and still have home court.

 

and if OKC does make it, the nuggets can sweep them in all honesty.  so itwould be nive but not necessary. as long as we stay ahead of the Wolves. Wolves if healthy, are the second best team in the west. but they arent healthy.

murray been out 4 games, been rough, also just ice cold shooting, were 10/40 from 3 against the wolves. same the game before, also BLOWING fast break points, they were 2/17 on fast breaks. which is ASTRONOMICALLY low.  like never seen that before low.

 

were back clicking even without murray today, shot 63% from 3 pt hit 21, tied season record. roughed up the Cavs by 30.

 

jokic a 26/16/15 triple double.

 

they claim luca has passed jokic in the MVP race. which would be a crime. then again last year was a absolute robbery giving it to Embiid. and in 2021 giving it to Giannis again.

 

Jokic should have 4 going on 5 MVPs. he has been an unstoppable menace.

 

Nuggets placy the wolves next week again, if they win that they have a good chance of winning out, depending who they rest and when. i think they only play 1 other team with a winning record. Spurs twice, Hawks, Jazz, memphis, then clippers and wolves are the two decent teams.

 

OKC plays a road back to back against the 76ers and then Boston the next night. if they drop BOTH of those, the nuggets have a solid shot at the 1 seed.

 

a 1 seed would likely earn Jokic the MVP. 

 

Murray has now missed 21 games he is eliminated from any awards, meaning he cannot sign a SUPER MAX extension contract this offseason, just a MAX contract. which is like a 100million difference. 

 

he can risk it and not sign the deal and play next year hoping to make all star or all nba teams, but if he gets hurt, itll cost him 30-50 million most likely.

 

 Nuggets in 2nd place, half game up on Wolves, tied with OKC but losing tie breaker.

 

they lose tie breaker with Wolves and Thunder no matter what.

Wemby is a madman, 9 blocks vs the nuggets tonight, luckily jokic went for 42pts 16 rebounds and 6 assists, probably could have had 20 assists if guys hit their open shots.

 

Murray still out. hopefully he returns for the clippers thursday

 

if not i would fully expect him back saturday for the Hawks.

 

Gordon took a hell of a fall on a foul tonight, hopefully he is alright. was late to postgame interviews due to treatment.

 

nuggets currently in first place over OKV and wolves by .5 games, however tied in the loss column. and they have zero tiebreakers with either team so may as well all be tied. if everyone wins out, the nuggets are 3rd place

 

okc and wolves on back to back games tonight and tomorrow, OKC SHOULD lose, wolves SHOULD win.

 

wolves do face nuggets next week so i guess they cant all win out..that game could very well be for first place in the west.

Game 3 WCSF.... Tonight..

 

Nuggets are in a bind losing 2 home games without reaching 100 pts 

 

Minnesota has best defense in the league ..

 

Jamal Murray ineffectiveness on both 

ends has staggered the team.

 

If any player in the league can mount a series comeback it's 

The Joker ..

man i havent been around much, what a wild ride.

 

Lakers suck, not blowing up that roster would be a mistake, but that seems to be all the lakers to the last 8 years is make mistakes.

 

i didnt realize lebron has 3 championships, 1 in the bubble on a short season with 20% of the league opting out of even going. 1 in the labor strike shortened season, and one where he tried to get spolstra fired in miami, the ONLY coach he had that wasnt fired, EVER in the NBA, and won with wade and both etc.

 

so a lebron hater could easily say he has 1 legit ring and he tried to fuck that one up.

 

wish we would ahve swpt them, but it was fun watching them win it in person in the first round

you know what wasnt fucking fun?

 

watching us get our fucking assses kicked by the god damn timberwolves twice in a row at home.

 

i paid $960 to watch that happen.

 

they came out AGGRESSIVE and PHYSICAL. and the nba was all about it. i mean guys were getting MUGGED, and we dont have the team for that, Jokic isnt going to body mofos on defense, murray isnt gonna get clutch hands on defense, mpj just learned what defense was this year, AG can, KCP CAN but is small for that.  10000% advantage to them in that style of play. a style that the nba hasnt allowed since the Pistons/knicks/Bulls 80s-90s.

 

I could never condone murray throwing shit at the official on the court. but man  do i get it.

 

the nba realized, when our coach cussed out an official like he was going to kick his ass, and the calmest canadian player threw shit on the court, that perhaps they fucked up in how they officiated those games. and fixed it.

 

this has resulted in the nuggets curb stomping the wolves in game 3.

 

and a calm healthy win in game 4, Murray didnt paly well in game 4 but hit a wild half court shot at the half during a wolves implosion. which was a huge motivational swing.

 

Nuggets are shooting above average, but they are getting WIDE open looks, normally id say they cant kep it up, but with the looks they are getting, i am surprised they arent shooting better.

 

back home for game 5 tomorrow, i think the winner of this one takes the series. if gives you a 3-2 lead, needing only one more, Nuggets have the momentum, at home, which SHOULD be an advantage, but hasnt been this series.

 

i will be in house and nervous as fuck.

 

PS: wolves fans are strange man, they dress up with wolf mask/hats on, and a bunch dress up with like wolf fur gloves and stuff.

 

like NFL behavior, which is fine, but in an NBA arena its a strange look, nba games are at most painted faces, i dont even wear nuggets gear, not intentionally i just dont have a ton and its cold stuff and its warm mostly inside and cumbersome clothes are a hassle indoors. but fur hands and wolf masks is so odd.

like this, this guys was sitting in front of me a few rows in both home games.

 

to each thier own.
