It’s that time of year again! Everyone weigh in here with your bold predictions about the following:
Nuggets W/L record
Nuggets seed
Playoff record
Leading scorer and PPG
Leading rebounder and RPG
Leader in assists and APG
Biggest pleasant surprise
Biggest disappointment
NBA Champion
NBA MVP
Anything else you wish to add
As for my predictions:
Nuggets W/L record - 49-33
Nuggets seed - 5
Playoff record - We lose in first round in 7 games.
Leading scorer and PPG - Jokic, 27.0 ppg
Leading rebounder and RPG - Jokic 11.4 rpg
Leader in assists and APG - Jokic, 8.3 asp
Biggest pleasant surprise - Nnaji becomes a reliable backup power forward by midseason, gets in rotation and averages 8 ppg in 18 mpg.
Biggest disappointment - Peyton Watson struggles to shoot and stay healthy. Goes in and out of rotation all year. Shoots 39/27/70. Cancar and sometimes Zeke play ahead of him!
NBA Champion - Dallas
NBA MVP - Doncic
Anything else you wish to add - We buy out Pickett in first half of season after a Russ or Murray injury creates need for vet 3rd PG. We sign Dennis Smith Jr or Fultz.

Note: I added playoff record as a new category this year, right below Nuggets seed.

W/L Record: Nuggets 53 - 29 Seed: 2 Seed Leading Scorer: Jokic 25 PPG Leading Rebounder: Jokic 11 RPG Leading Assists: Jokic 8 APG Pleasant Suprise: Strawther avg 9 ppg Biggest Disappointment: Murray doesn't make All-NBA or All-Star Game NBA Champion: Denver Nuggets 7 games over BOS NBA MVP: Luka Doncic IMO, Murray not making ASG cannot be a disappointment since nobody really expects him to make it. Exceeding or falling short of expectations is what results in pleasant surprises or disappointments. |

Nuggets W/L record: 58-24
Nuggets seed: 1 seed
Playoff record: 16 wins, 8 losses. 2025 NBA Champions = Denver Nuggets
Leading scorer and PPG: Jokic 28
Leading rebounder and RPG: Jokic 12
Leader in assists and APG: Jokic 10
Biggest pleasant surprise: Braun and Watson take huge steps this year
Biggest disappointment: Russell Westbrook
NBA Champion: Denver Nuggets in 6 over the Celtics
NBA MVP: Tatum
Anything else you wish to add: Jamal Murray, MPJ, Jokic and AG (resigned to a long-term extension) all stay healthy through the regular season and playoffs. We find trade partners to dump Jalen Pickett and Hunter Tyson and use those 2 roster spots to sign cheap vets on a minimum contract.

Nuggets W/L record - 53-29
Nuggets seed - 3 seed, via tiebreaker over 4
Playoff record - 11-8. Cruise through the first 2 rounds, lose the WCF in 7.
Leading scorer and PPG - Jokic 26.2
Leading rebounder and RPG - Jokic 11.2
Leader in assists and APG - Jokic 8.8
Biggest pleasant surprise - Zeke is actually playable
Biggest disappointment - PWat doesn't really make strides, struggles some with injury
NBA Champion - ugh, the damn Celtics, ugh
NBA MVP - Luka, on his 2-seed Mavs
Anything else you wish to add - after Zeke looks actually playable, we package him for one of the players we're rumored to have interest in (like Micic) -- who turns out to be a disappointment

Interesting you guys are predicting Luka as the MVP. I think the voters will give it to Tatum -- considering how he was disrespected on the US Olympic team, snubbed for finals mvp and the overall dominance of the Celtics for the last 2 years

W/L Record: I don't care
Seed: 3 seed
Leading Scorer: Jokic, whatever
Leading Rebounder: Jokic, whatever
Leading Assists: Jokic, whatever
Pleasant Suprise: Strawther's development, as well as Braun and Watson
Biggest Disappointment: Malone will run Russ and Murray into the ground, and Straw will be playing PG and getting eaten up doing it (late into the season)
NBA Champion: Nuggets - over New York
NBA MVP: Ant
We're going to take the banner. Saric and Russ will prove to be excellent backups.
As I had already said - Straw will play a pivotal role. Kids provides great D and has a sweet floater.
It's going to be a great year.

Nuggets W/L record: 52-30
Nuggets seed: 4th. A healthy 4th better than a busted 2nd seed
Playoff record: 16-10
Leading scorer and PPG: Jokic 25.2
Leading rebounder and RPG: Jokic 12.3
Leader in assists and APG: Jokic 9.1
Biggest pleasant surprise: Strawther
Biggest disappointment: Booth for not adding a vet guard
NBA Champion: Nuggets. 4-3 over Boston.
MVP: Luka. Dallas will be a 2-3 seed and it's his time. Plus the enormous usage (and outrageous talent) means the huge stats are inevitable.
