Played good defense for stretches Except when it mattered most down the stretch. Murray defense was atrocious. |

MPJ with 9 points on 4-13 shooting. The Nuggets do not have consistent enough co-stars on this team. Meanwhile Norman Powell the Clippers 3rd best player on the roster and making a lkt less money than MPJ with 37pts. The MPJ contract has smashed this franchise. Murray's new one about to kill us off. |

Murray hero ball blown layup could cost us the W. "will" and "did" no, that didn't cost us the W
it's that he did jack s**t on offense for 3+ Qs, and that on defense he was the main reason for LAC turning it around at the end.
I really hope he gets back on track, but what he's been playing for about a half a year is bad and getting worse.

Just an ugly mess right now. Scary part is there's no realistic fix for the bench and early on it looks like Saric/Westbrook/Watson are all gunna be misses.
So assuming MPJ/Murray get on the right track this team will still have major issues. Only seems like everyone's annoyed on the court and the frustration seems obvious.

I'd just like to repeat - clippers are a bad team. we had to have Jokic raining 3s to be competitive. Strawther hits 2 3s and plays solid. CB also plays well. Our max contract guys didn't step up. 90% of our shooting issues is MPJ right now. |

Second quarter cost us the game. One assist in first 15 minutes cost us the game. Malone not taking preseason seriously and failing to get his guys ready cost us the game. We’ve lost three straight at home, going back to game 7 against Minny. Four in a row in games that matter.
Most disappointing season in Nuggets history? Let’s hope that’s not incoming.

If they don't improve it'll be a major weakness all year and in the playoffs. I'm assuming MPJ/Murray will eventually get back to what we've seen in the past. But yeah MPJ/Murray have been bad. Jokic missing the FT hurts as well. |

Jokic missing the FT hurts as well. MPJ played with the bench. IF MPJ turns his game around the bench would've looked better. Strawther had 8 points and looks more and more comfortable each game. PWat had his opportunities needs to capitalize. But again if MPJ makes 3s that would open it stuff for other guys. Russ was not good today. I think the bench has a chance with Strawther especially to be much better but our starters (Murray, AG, MPJ) have to be more dynamic. |

Did MPJ get too strong this summer with the extra pounds of muscle? Could that have hurt his shooting touch? Let’s hope not.

I could actually see that. But still he can't be such a net negative.

Saric through 2 games:
2 points, 3 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks, 3 fouls, 2 turnovers, 1/4 FG, 0/1 3PT, 0/0 FT, -18 in 22 total minutes
He has been the worst player on the floor on both ends of the court.

Great work by booth. Spent the offseason adding two players that sabotage our entire team and traded away 6 draft picks for the right to draft a dude that got hurt in preseason. Then gave $200 mill to the corpse of Jamal Murray

I thought Murray was actually really good up until the last 2 minutes of the game.
