Denver Nuggets playoffs watch

[kurple]

Let the season begin :banana:

Best front court in the league, and I wouldnt be surprised of Murray has a Booker esque 2nd half of the season

[ralph_i_el]

Better than Blake/Deandre?

I was taken aback by your assertion that they had the best frontcourt....but then I realized not a lot of teams are packing two frontcourt studs.

Jokic is the truth!

[Annyong!]

I agree, the Nuggets will be watching the playoffs this season.

Nuggets have the potential to surprise people just not a safe bet. We won 33 games last year starting a rookie PG, rookie C, and a 2nd year SG that was more or less a rookie. Our best player only played 53 games. He's looked lights out in the preseason, best he's ever looked at 28 and smack dab in his prime.

Nuggets have added another year of experience for Mudiay, Jokic, Nurkic, Harris, Barton. They've also added a healthy Wilson Chandler. Murray and Hernangomez as rookies should provide the occasional spark atleast. Jokic/Nurkic will surprise some people. There in Denver so nobody really cares at the moment.

Hard to trust the health of Gallo tho, and maybe even Chandler at this point. If Denver can stay reasonable healthy they have a shot at the 7th/8th seed. Realistically they lose a guy or two and finish outside.

I think they are one solid shooter away from being a darkhorse. I will protect Nurkic and Jokic and offer anybody plus another player for a guy like Bradley Beal.
or Offer Gallo and a future pick for Brandon Knight.

I think it's a good trade for both teams. Phoenix is relying on Dudley and man boy Chriss to be their PF rotation.
Denver needs some stability with their guard rotation. Knight was averaging 19 pts/game at Milwaukee when he got traded. Ever since, the Bucks have been terrible.

[kurple]

Hell no to Knight


Would rather roll the dice with Mudiay, Murray, Harris and Barton


Make it Booker and we'll throw in a couple firsts

:roll:

You'd need to toss in Jokic for the Suns to even consider Booker, and they still wouldn't.

There's a very limited supply of very good SG's in the league esp if you compare young big guys.
There's Booker.....? who else is there?

I don't even know if Knight sees the court on this team. Harris is a far better defender and overall player. And Barton is energy off the bench (that Knight should be but is unwilling to accept). And Murray is the young guy with upside.

Denver is INSANELY deep. I think they will be as good or better than the TWolves. They just need to play faster in altitude so they can utilize their depth. And perhaps try to consolidate some of that talent.

Nurkic lost 30 pounds and looked incredible in preseason
Jokic is a breakout player and was comfortably the best Olympian outside of the US. Misused at the 4 though.
Gallo is a stud. A cornerstone. Just needs to stay healthy.
Gary Harris is wildly underrated as an efficient shooter and outstanding defender.
Mudiay needs to be reigned in some but his athleticism is enticing.

That leaves:
Chandler
Barton
Faried
Hernangomez
Murray
Arthur

to come off the bench

With MMiller and Jameer to give veteran leadership.

[kurple]

13 more turnovers than NOLA and AD goes for 50, but we still find a way to steal a W on the road.

great start to the season

Nurkic with 23/9 in 26 minutes
