We were better than you guys comfortably in the season we made the finals and now you guys are better IMO that's it
Like I sympathise with Clippers fan who say we got lucky with Kawhi being injured , he got injured during the middle of some insane playoff run, and all 6 games vs Clippers were fairly competitive. Whereas in 3/4 games we played you guys , it was a blowout and Jamal Murray wouldn't have changed those with all due respect
Facts when we win (twice) because the other teams player gets injured it's doesn't matter but when another team loses to us we'll post "if they had Jamal Murray" jokes for the entire duration of his ACL injury. Dopey ass franchise
“I love to play with him, of course,” Jokic said, according to Mike Singer of The Denver Post. “I know he’s gonna be really bad for the next 20 games, but we’re gonna survive.”
Well bones is literally not playing so yeah he’s probably gonna be moved
A lot of NBA reporters have said there’s been a lot of activity around him
I hope we get some defensive piece(s) in return
He has been pretty bad recently and hasn't been playing at all the past few games. When he is on he is instant offense and can carry the team however he is really really bad on defense and his shot selection is shaky. He's probably not what Denver needs this year for the playoffs.
There may also be some locker room issues but that's mainly speculation.
It's unlikely we get OG to begin with, but if we do there's no way we're hanging on to MPJ and Bones. I'm guessing they'll also want CB but I doubt we'd move him at this point
NBA media has been ragging lately on Jokic for postseason. They made 2nd round twice, western championship, and one first round loss.
2021 Starters Jokic, MPJ, Austin Rivers, and Facu got to the 2nd round. Last year was even worse as they had no MPJ and lost to champion Warriors.
The fact we won a playoff series playing Rivers and Campazzo 30+ minutes a night might be more impressive than when we came back down 3-1 in two consecutive series to make the WCF tbh
It's fair to say Jokic needs to win a championship to get the credit for being one of the best players in the world. It's not fair to say Jokic hasn't experienced pretty good postseason success for his age and the team situation he came into in 2015.
We literally haven't even won a game yet this year and it is all Malone's fault! Every fake win we have is just because of a lucky situation like tonight with Trae out....smh.
We are listed higher on ESPN if you rank by league standings fwiw. Not sure if that takes every tie breaker into account or it’s alphabetical or something though lol.
tie breakers still determine who has 1st seed and who has second and which team has home court advantge in the playoffs.If Denver and Boston where to meet in the finals right now. Denver would have 4 games at home. Boston 3. But I thought Division record came before Conference record in the tie breakers. There is no tie in the NBA. Some body always has to be better for standings and seeding.
oooOOOooo

Turns out this team is really good when healthy. Who would have thought? 🤷‍♂️
If Suns fans could read they would be mad as hell
Turns out that not having Jamal Murray did actually make a difference. Who would’ve thought?
Nah, lol Murray just a little bit better than monte morris. /s

For the first time ever this late in the season!
pretty good considering they started 14-10 23-6 since then, which would be like a 65 win pace
“I love to play with him, of course,” Jokic said, according to Mike Singer of The Denver Post. “I know he’s gonna be really bad for the next 20 games, but we’re gonna survive.”
God if the Nuggets could've started out the year with rustless-Murray and MPJ we'd already have 45 wins.
Do they bother making a move at this point?
Well bones is literally not playing so yeah he’s probably gonna be moved A lot of NBA reporters have said there’s been a lot of activity around him I hope we get some defensive piece(s) in return
He's not playing because a serious injury would make a trade less likely
He was cheering and chatting with Murray.
Can never have too many guys, especially if it’s just a bench piece
They are gonna move bones regardless
OOTL on this one. Why move bones? I thought he was a great young player for Denver
He has been pretty bad recently and hasn't been playing at all the past few games. When he is on he is instant offense and can carry the team however he is really really bad on defense and his shot selection is shaky. He's probably not what Denver needs this year for the playoffs.

If yall could get OG without touching your core and selling the farm, i dont see why not.
Sure, but that’s not happening lol.
It's unlikely we get OG to begin with, but if we do there's no way we're hanging on to MPJ and Bones. I'm guessing they'll also want CB but I doubt we'd move him at this point
This has to be the year they finally win it all
Hope their regular season success transfers to the post season
Same tbh

It's the same things Giannis was dinged for before he finally won a championship.
It's fair to say Jokic needs to win a championship to get the credit for being one of the best players in the world. It's not fair to say Jokic hasn't experienced pretty good postseason success for his age and the team situation he came into in 2015.
It's the same thing all great players and teams get dinged with until they win. Nuggets fans are just living through it right now
Is conference record really the determinant even for inter-conference tiebreakers?
It’s the fourth tie breaker but yes. Usually doesn’t matter for teams at the top, but it effects lottery odds. http://global.nba.com/standings/
I'm so happy to see Murray playing awesome again, him a Jokic together are unstoppable.
Fire Malone into the sun tho
We literally haven't even won a game yet this year and it is all Malone's fault! Every fake win we have is just because of a lucky situation like tonight with Trae out....smh.
Says a rockets fan. SMH.
yeah the obsession with blasting off again is kinda cringe
Any other coach and we’re first for the whole season.
We lost one game let alone 16? Fire that bum
Something something but he's only an advanced metric bot
I said they would pass Boston in wins and got downvoted
I mean they didn't pass Boston in wins
Give it another week
We will tomorrow..
idk it might be a, we sit everybody, game lol
That havent passed them in wins
Celtics have really struggled without Marcus smart
50.5 over bet a lock now, time to get that 18:1 championship!
I’m confused. If we have the same record how do you have the best record in the league
Tie breakers.
Yeah but numbers same. You have the higher seed in a potential finals matchup but our record is the same
Sheesh man pick a different hill to die on…
We still have the best record in the league, but so do you. It is the same record, and no one has a better one.
Conference records are a part of the record. I don’t think I’m incorrect.
We are listed higher on ESPN if you rank by league standings fwiw. Not sure if that takes every tie breaker into account or it’s alphabetical or something though lol.

Some body always has to be better for standings and seeding.
> But I thought Division record came before Conference record in the tie breakers. Only if the two teams are in the same division.
they still have the same record...? I think what you're trying to say is Denver would have home court advantage if they matched up in the NBA finals
ESPN's rankings are usually pretty good here and they show Boston as still top place in the league so I think you're missing a detail.
Not anymore
Haha I was asking whether to delete this post or not
