Mudiay still looks like a shitty player, if that makes anyone feel better since he was traded away.

Yeah okc future is so bright with 40 mil 35 yr pg They are better now and have SGA and a ton of picks They may not win any titles but at least they have a front office that has a plan. As we stumble forward with our generous front office and crazy lineups, by the time the lakers and rockets are too old we will have been passed by many other teams. Malone actually thinks Murray, barton, morris, jokic, Plumlee, millsap and Craig can win a series? We need another star. We can’t draft one We can’t sign one We can’t trade for one Where do you think it’s coming from? |

I apologize for the negativity but it just sucks to wait 4 months, to have a decent amount of mpj/Bol hype, to have an outside shot of getting to the wcf and it instantly be all taken away. What team goes from good/great to garbage overnight?
Just nugglife as always.

I never said they are winning a title. But cp3 is also as good as anyone else in the divison so winning the NW is definitely a possibility |

why are you worried about the division title then? Do you want Malone to go for a ring or a div title

why are you worried about the division title then? Do you want Malone to go for a ring or a div title well I just want to win as much as possible which would correlate to division titles. but if you ask me would I prefer 48 wins, 6th seed, no division title and a run to the WCF vs 54 wins, 3rd seed, division title and lose in the first round I take the former all day every day. but its still #nugglife that we "steal" grant from the thunder since they are tanking, and they still end up better than us. not eventually. the very first year. I dont even know if I can give presti the credit. im sure this wasnt his expectations. but things just work out for certain franchises. we arent one of them. everything hinges on MPJ. if he doesnt make the leap and we trade him, itll be a disaster for us short term and long term. we need that 3rd "star". he doesnt need to be the next KD but he needs to be a reliable goto player. without it we are just jokc and a bunch of overrated defensive players and non shooters that cannot beat any good teams in a best of 7. |

But you have to take the injuries into consideration.

But you have to take the injuries into consideration. true. but how much of a difference could murray, barton and harris even make? barton and harris were terrible in the scrimmages. murray isnt worth a 20 point differential. maybe we lose by 10 instead? a lineup of murray/harris/craig/millsap/jokic is NOT winning a series. ever. f**k even portland could possibly win a series this year. how insane would that be. its not likely but they have a better shot than we do. blazers beating lakers or nuggets beating mavs/rockets/jazz/okc 10% vs 2% |

sorry, just venting. I expected bad, I expected a loss and yet the game still was worse than that. too make it worse, the future seems to have taken a hit. I get the present (next 2 months) is a waste. we arent winning anything and it "doesnt matter" I guess. but dont f**k with the future. dont sign the wrong guys, dont trade MPJ, dont play 5 guys who cant defend or shoot. we should be trying to create our team for 2 years from now when we actually could have a chance. forget now. 0% chance of even getting to the WCF. whats the point? let MPJ play 30 minutes, and let him miss and make turnovers. how else can he learn? |

Nope, that's underestimation of their contribution on both sides of the floor. Murray plays a deadly p'n'r with Joker all the time, Gary's defense is still at a high level and Barton is making damage when in the zone. All three of them lack consistency, but are still much better than the guys who played today. With them on the floor, the team rests more during the game, so the bench is more productive, Jokic doesn't need to have the ball all the time, they can cut inside and drop assists etc, I don't really think that I should explain furthermore, you know all that, but you're pissed of right now.
Portland is a good team, Nurk's return is huge for them. Imagine Jokic with CJ and Dame... But! CJ is 28, Dame 30 and what did they achieve so far? There's a long road to title for this Nuggets team and they have plenty of time, just need to continue to improve.
Of course, I agree that TC should step up his trading game, but it's not like the Nuggets are the worst team in Orlando or even in the bottom half. They'll be fine.
Look at Jazz without Bogdanovic today.

I agree with some of that but two parts I dont: a) we are definitely in the bottom half. there are not 10 bubble teams we could beat in a best of 7 right now. in the west its even worse. b) there is a long road to the title, but how do we take that road? just sit back with what we have and keep repeating the same thing every year? we seem to be the only "contender" that doesnt do anything. which would be fine if we said "mpj was our move this year" but we dont let him play either. we just run jokic with millsap, plumlee, craig, morris and murray. wtf is this? as constructed we SHOULD own this division for 5+ years. we have one of the best records already and are the 2nd youngest team (and minnesota is many games back). and yet we are going to finish 3rd and be the 4th best team in the division in the bubble. embarassing. I know divisions dont really matter but they do matter at least some. what are the standings in the west going to look like in 2-3 years? dallas, minnesota, memphis, pelicans and maybe one of kings and suns will be near the top. and you cant assume the rest of the current good teams will all be bad. so no matter what, we still have a ton of work to do. if we sit back and do nothing we are still just going to be a bottom playoff team. only difference is instead of losing to the lakers/rockets/clippers itll be grizz/pelicans/mavs. reminds me of when we got melo - it was nice to instantly make the playoffs but getting too good too fast actually hurt us. we needed to properly rebuild and add more cheap talent. the grizz, pelicans and mavs all have generational talent for cheap for a couple more years and thats a huge advantage. we tried to battle the best of the west 2 years too soon. we arent ready. our window should have been 2-3 years from now. but nope - malone thinks jokic/millsap/plumlee/craig/harris/murray can beat the lakers or clippers? that team gets smacked by any top 7 west team in the playoffs. |

i dont get this " repeating the same thing every yr'", someone else (wont mention his name ) said this bs in the game thread- we been in the playoffs one season- yes one season. we are still growing just like mpj our windows open next season- a real season with fans and homecourt - not this bs --....bubble - once we hit a plateau - than i will sound the alarm
