The Nuggets are in trouble...

[jaydawg08]

Better teams, a worse bench, plus Gorbert and Kat

Gobert ain’t even playing tonight

Gobert ain’t even playing tonight

I’m just saying. Minny is a great squad with a great foundation. KAT and Rudy looked like they were smothering Jokic and Aaron the first game.

If you take jokic and MPJ's attempts out, the nuggets are shooting 19% from three, and murray still looks like regular season murray. The shooting will normalize and murray will rise to the occasion once they play a real team. Theyll be fine.

The Nuggets aren’t in trouble because The Wolves are dumb and whomever is waiting on the other side of the bracket won’t be able to out execute them.

The End

If the OP thinks the Nuggets are in trouble then everybody on here should bet their life savings on them to repeat.

Not to lose this Rd1 series to LA...

But to successfully defend their title. Three reasons:

•in this Rd1 series, thru 4 games, Denver has held the lead for only 21% of game action. Yet they have a 3-1 series lead, because the opponent somehow has a weaker bench than they do; weaker supporting stars than they do; and the opponent doesn't know how to close...

The imminent Rd2 series will be vs a Wolves team that has showcased none of those weaknesses and is younger. If they somehow get by the Wolves they have OKC or Dallas waiting on the other side and Dallas in particular isn't a favorable matchup. Brings me to point two;

•the '23 Nuggets were more reliable off the bench than this '24 version, Bruce Brown's departure is significantly missed and will only be more glaring the later they advance...

Also, a team that closes better isn't gonna be down 1-3 if they lead for 80% of game action. Glass half full, Nuggets are using this series as a tune up, but this being down double digits every game shyt catches up to you in the end, we all have seen it happen throughout league history;

•Murray is playing thru injury. Which, alot of guys are, but this in part explains why he's been so off this series...

What this also means though, a better opponent will attack him relentlessly to render him even more ineffective, and a better opponent isn't losing to Denver with this version of Murray...

The Lakers aren't the team that can beat Denver. They are operating from a coaching and execution deficiency...

But with all this said, all is not lost for Denver. They could easily tighten up the loose ends, Murray could benefit from a few rest days between series and come back to his normal level of play next series. And even with these struggles, I don't believe any opponent to be clearly better than Denver. If a team is gonna beat the Nuggets, it's gonna take 6 or 7 games. They aren't going out quietly...

But, they are in trouble, there are alarming signs for them thru 4 games of this title defense...

Also and this part is crucial

Mike Malone's opposing coach wont be a complete fukking moron

Malone didnt have to make one adjustment ranging from last year's playoffs to this one while Ham was the coach

THE DENVER NUGGETS ARE GOING TO WIN THEIR NEXT 4 CONSECUTIVE GAMES!!!!

That would certainly not be the most shocking thing to ever happen to the Timberwolves

 

[CM_Burns]

It is over. You do realize Minny is up 2-0 after playing the first 2 games in Denver right? This shyt is OVER.

... it's not like I had some crazy prediction. 2-0, defending Champs vs team that never won anything, roster isn't clearly better, and one of those 2 games was very close. Coli just overreacts to every game

you were saying???? we not going out like no bytches
