    Default The Nuggets defense is their weakness

    The Nuggets have an incredibly efficient offense, but their defense is merely average.

    Can a team like that go far in the playoffs? Their defense is just 16th in the league.

    The Webber Kings made conference finals game 7 and would have won in 6 if not for some bad officiating. It just depends on match ups and how much of an advantage the offense gives them. Jamal murray is capable of playing at an allstar level as the go to guard. If he does that through the playoffs they will win the West.

    The Webber kings were 6th in defensive rating in 2002...

    probably the tubby guy's fault

    not the 2nd and 3rd highest paid players on the team

    or the bench full of extras from night of the living dead

    Murray, MPJ and Jokic are all pretty bad defenders. Great offensively but I don't see their ceiling in the playoffs being a championship because of this.

    jokic is not the best defender on the team

    anyone who says he is

    is playing serbian mind tricks on you

    and probably an agent of putin

    They had both Tori Craig and Jermi Grant on the squad a few years ago.

    I know Detroit gave Grant a huge bag but letting Craig go was an obvious error.

    Those guys with current Joker would have been a true force

    Not having grant allowed us to get AG who is a far better fit on this team

    I wouldn’t mind having Craig as a cheap role player tho
