as a nuggets fan i can say our bench last year was so bad that i was literally counting down the minutes until jokic would enter the game again. the bench would legitimately blow games in the 4-5 minutes that jokic was off the floor and if russ can bring energy to that group he will be seen as a huge success in denver
Russ looks more moitvated than ever to prove his doubters wrong. This season he looks genuinely happy. When he was with the Lakers he looked like he was fake happy. I'm hoping that happiness translates to winning.
I’m a San Antonio Spurs fan and you’re right. I like watching Joker and the Denver nuggets because the run their offense similar to our big 3 prime Era
People (correctly) point out how much Bruce Brown leaving hurt the Nuggets, but they don’t understand that Russ does almost everything Bruce Brown did - 6’4 athletic guard that can handle, score, make plays, drive, play defense, and most importantly bring energy off the bench. Only thing he isn’t great at is shooting, but that’s fine. AG isn’t a great shooter but he’s extremely valuable for everything else he brings. Russ will be perfect for this team just like Bruce Brown was.
Brodie's demise has been greatly exagerrated. Lakers never needed a PG since they use a SF as their ball handler; all they needed was a scapegoat. Clippers started to figure out some transition bball, but instead went w/ Harden's dribble, dribble, shoot offense.
good video. Russ is still very, very good. I think you're right about him being in a much better place comparing to his past few years. I suppose we'll see. But I'm optimistic about him. Unfortunately, Nuggets had a dismal off-season (2nd in a row) -if they kept KCP or found one more contributor/creator to replace him - with Russ (and Saric) - they'd be on par with the best in the West. But again - we'll see.
Ur 100% right. The kcp loss was massive and he’s pretty irreplaceable. Hopefully Saric can step up off the bench and Russ can provide another dimension within that offense
Me , & i think alot of other nuggets fans think Kcp’s production is replaceable . You look at his play in the playoffs( though, he was hurt) & he couldn’t stay in front of ant nor could he make his shots . Which is essentially what he was paid for. Cb actually guarded ant better in that series, & i think strawther can help with the 3pt shooting loss from kcp. Kcp was great for us, & definitely better then both of those guys individually . But i think their aggregate skillsets will be good enough.
Clippers did the hard work, got him use to coming of the bench. Back in the day the assist where not given out so easy. That's why the said it never be broken. Crap every one is getting triple doubles any more because of it. Jokic makes every one better then they are. Westbrook might be the still of the year because of it. Has more game left then Lebron.
He need to fix assist little it's to obvious sometimes and what hurt me more is layups if is some rookie I can say ok have time even that's basic first what you learn
Wolves can beat Nuggets due to the fact that nugget's traitor is in wolf's ranks. Now Nuggets have Russell which could give more tactical advantage over them.
@@UnoDinero95001 Wolves know Nugget's tactics, and they can hard counter them, but at the same time bringing new blood into team could give edge over Wolves
Lakers 2020: win a chip 2021: make 2nd round 2022: add Russ miss the playoffs 2023: remove Russ, make the WCF. Same story every year: the previous FIVE teams “didn’t use me right”
If he would stop being so negative cuz that's a positive team I'm sorry the nuggets are just positive he need to work on his character and his three points shooting those are the only two things that he needs to work on his character stop being so hyped up and angry and mad and bitter okay you got another chance to do something with that make you a superstar and who knows you might get a ring out of this if you change some of your character ways you see what I'm saying cuz that's a non selfish thing that team is not selfish at all😢 the Nuggets is a non selfish King okay they don't play that bull crap but what you have to do Russell this is just some advice you can take it or leave it work on your character stop being so bitter hateful cuz they going to talk about you and those things those words that you read about hurts so don't let that get next to you what you do is work just continue to practice on your trees because when Nick like give it to you either he wants you to slam dunk it or he want you to three-pointed so those are the only two things that I have to say to you about that your character you need to get rid of some of that bitterness
Russ can't shoot, is inconsistent defensively, turns the ball over at an alarming rate, can't finish like he used too, isn't an methodical pg like a nash or cp3, he can't slow down the pace of play, has a low basketball IQ and isn't able to play off ball smh. Unless you're going to run everything through Russ which would be stupid with Jokic and Murray he doesn't add much value to the Nuggets. Y'all lost KCP and replaced him with Russ it's the same mistake the Lakers made. He plays off ball, defends, can move the ball and has no ego. The truth is the advanced metrics/analytics hate Russ and his game he hasn't been impactful since he was on the Rockets. He put up numbers in Washington but it didn't result in team success he just benefited from playing in a weak and injury prone East at the time. I get it you Nuggets fan are trying to see the glass half full and want to embrace Russ with open arms and optimism. But you need to approach the situation with realistic expectations as well the. Y'all are going to miss KCP and Brown y'all would have been better served going after CP3, Fultz or Tyus Jones

Agreed💯💯
Yes, the bench was concerning, that's gonna be the difference maker this coming season
Russ looks more moitvated than ever to prove his doubters wrong. This season he looks genuinely happy. When he was with the Lakers he looked like he was fake happy. I'm hoping that happiness translates to winning.

Absolutely. It's a beautiful thing to watch

Agreed here
his career was nvr dead. just bad circumstances
I am praying to all gods that Russ comes through and help bench kick a**
Same here
Your arguments are solid. Russ is a winner in life and that counts. He is still a legend even without a ring. Have a sub bro. Bless up
All facts. And thanks for the sub!
I love this for Russ, the situation with Lakers was so bad, and they used him as a escape goat for basically very bad roster, they was too old
Absolutely. The structure is perfect here
Brodie's demise has been greatly exagerrated. Lakers never needed a PG since they use a SF as their ball handler; all they needed was a scapegoat. Clippers started to figure out some transition bball, but instead went w/ Harden's dribble, dribble, shoot offense.
All facts written here
He’s washed! Been washed since Houston.
The Clippers been a bad choice picking James over a Westbrook
Jokic made Jeff Green look good and got him paid in the process. Russ will thrive with Jokic.
speaks to how great of a player Jokic is!
You are speaking all facts!

Russell Westbrook will be mostly judged in the non-Jokic minutes. How good can the Nuggets be when Nikola is on the bench…..
this is facts. Such a big point of emphasis for them this season. Win those non- Jokic minutes
“ it’s unattainable, it’ll never happen again”. Luka Doncic 34/9.2/9.8. I think this year that’s going to age badly….
Luka won't need his teammates dropping rebounds his way to get 10 a game. And Luka got Klay, it's going to happen.
He need to fix assist little it's to obvious sometimes and what hurt me more is layups if is some rookie I can say ok have time even that's basic first what you learn
Fit fit benefit fit
He has to come off the bench and I think the nuggets can beat the wolves
Wolves can beat Nuggets due to the fact that nugget's traitor is in wolf's ranks. Now Nuggets have Russell which could give more tactical advantage over them.
Only time he wouldn’t come off the bench is if murray’s injured tbh

Wait a minute the number one "RING CHASER" was and is Lebron James! What are people smoking!
