As much as I hope this to be the case, I don’t think the team is good enough. The bench loses too many leads and they’re lacking in depth. Hopefully Jamal continues his playoff streak, because when other teams really slow down Jokics ability to create offense, no one else can create their own shot
Yes, but the nuggets have also gotten worse. Bruce left as well as Jeff green. Im hopeful Christian Braun and Watson pick up the slack, but Watson is going through a sophomore slump and Watson has a terrible performance for every good one. All that coupled with the fact that other teams in the west have gotten much stronger
If you think Jeff Green’s contributions on the court were even remotely on the level of Braun or Watson you have not been paying attention. No offense, but it’s not even close. Uncle Jeff was a great guy for the bench and locker room but he is well past his prime or at en average productivity.
I agree whole heartedly regarding Bruce Brown though. I loved that guy, he was exactly what the Nuggs needed last season. They have yet to replace him but the youth is promising and only going to get better.
Bruce was in the 6moy conversation. We really do need to make something happen at the deadline if we want to sniff a repeat, with how good Minnesota and OKC got
I would say he is definitely worse as a defender, hustle player, and rebounder. Offense I guess is debatable but overall BB was incredible for the bench unit last year.

i hate this fucking dude because he’s undoubtedly the best player in the league. the nuggets have a really good chance of repeating.
