Malone and the players deserve huge props for this defensive scheme and the rotations. Guys are flying around making life miserable for offenses.

Yeah they do, Murray took a step and Morris I don’t think anyone saw him coming. I am interested to see if we get any mpj this year.

I doubt it with mpj. Maybe if we’re this injured in like February or March they’ll need a body but it seems like they really just wanna redshirt him

Played tennis on the court next to Jokic tha gawd at Wash Park before the season started and now he an mvp candidate :wow:. This team is so great to watch and somehow we got 9 or 10 legit starters. If an all star wing can be developed or attained Nuggets got next :blessed:

Let’s say we get the 1 seed, and get to the conference finals as the 2nd youngest team in the league with a hole at the 3 spot. What are the chances KD or kawhi would come here?

I doubt either of those dudes come here but I think playing with Jokic will attract dudes going forward. Im willing to wait and see what MPJ can do at the 3, its the PF position that makes me wonder

The nice thing is mpj should be able to play 3 or 4 long term so any forward should fit in with a Murray/Harris/MPJ/Jokic lineup.

My hope is Nugs pick up Milsaps option (:scust: that contract) and see if Vanderbilt can flash enough defensive updside that he's the new FC partner for Joker

I’m holding out hope that not many teams will be looking to pay a 35 year old with 2 straight injury seasons. I’d love to work out a pau type deal where we decline the option with a longer term, cheaper deal already worked out.

The nuggets should pick up his contract but Vanderbilt is the true wild card because if he can become a lock down defender at the four spot we could scale back milsaps minutes and if mpj can become a defensive pest which he has the physical tools to become we can be looking at being a top contender for a while

I know we are banged up but does anyone else get :hhh::francis::scust: when Lyes checks in
Hes hit or miss for me. He can get buckets but his tunnel vision and soft fouls can be irritating

The way the Nugs going injury wise they gonna be starting Jokic and 4 dudes on 2 way contracts here soon
