- Nikola Jokic injures his elbow and misses the game. What does this mean going forward? Jamal Murray plays well. MPJ does not. Meaningless? Can the Nuggets do what it takes to win the #2 seed over the next 42 games?

I was at the game last night and it was frustrating that it seemed like MPJ was kinda scared to shoot but he looked off and there was a timeout where he was sitting at the end of the bench with his head down and I thought maybe he looked ill. I hope he's ok
Lord please heal Jokic's injury, AMEN 🙏🏻
Facts 😂
God, Zeke's and Dario's contracts make me wanna throw up, how Zeke has 3 more years after this one. Everytime i think of a trade that pops up, i dont think 5 first would be enougj
They should have traded mpj right after winning the chip.
Could have had the option to keep Bruce and kcp and still have money for....
My care level on Porter struggling when Jokic is out is absolutely zero. Porter has given almost no time since he's been a nugget to create shots. He's a great compliment to Jokic and helps Jokic have space as the best shooter on the team and has become a very good cutter. If jokic is hurt in the first round, they will lose. His job isn't and never has been shot creation. Acting like he didn't do the thing yesterday, that isn't his job, and that's an issue? Silly
That's kind of what I feel. We expect them to do stuff when Jokic is out that we would be mad if they do when he is in. How is Mike supposed to know when is it okay for him to create and when it's not. If he text things days on hand when everyone's healthy Malone's going to get angry at him
Getting lavine means we become a shorter team, less rebounding, probably worse defensively also. We’re fine offensively so why do we need to make a trade for offense? We need to get better defensively. Just wait until this season is over and trade over priced Murray if he doesn’t show up this playoffs. What’s the rush to make a trade this season?
100% MPJ is a huge asset and we'd be STUPID to trade him.
what do u mean ne is a 3and d without defense lu dort is better and earns only 18mil full defense and same 3pt shooting
Lol o lol
Tim made some good points today.
As much as I love MPJ, I’d be willing to make some type of trade for Lavine. Porter Jr can get his shots and find himself as a player and Zach can bring his talents to Denver. He would be our “3rd” option, when he’s used to being the “1”. Less pressure, less double teams or defensive schemes focused on him and more on Jokic or Murray. We do get smaller but we get faster, we’re a fast break team. And if we end up in the half court he could cut or shoot. I love MPJ and would love to see him get a shot where the offense is focused on him or free, compared to the structure and scheme focused on Jokic ( well deserved) and brings in a vet who is ready now and can hold his own
Jalen Green had 34 and didn't play the 4th and the rockets were up 20 points most the game. What am I missing here?
This is a pet peeve of mine… when Murray plays well his injuries weren’t a problem, when he plays bad it’s because he has injuries. There is no such thing as Murray just had a bad game.
Who cares guys, sheesh. Start your own podcast or something
@@MikeMike-qb6oy🤣 casual
Jabum flurry is absolut worthless with out Nikola, it's ridiculous 🤣 27 is the biggest Jokić merchant ever
This is a pet peeve of mine.... he was 22-5-3, and he didn't play in the 4th quarter. It would literally be a good statline if he didn't have 5 turnovers, and that just makes it "meh" because 22-5-3 are his averages in 4 quarters, but he did it in 3, and that's a good statline for 96% of the league.
Murray does have bad games. Recently, he has a lot. But what really bothers me is that yall haters call every mediocre game terrible. If he doesn't drop 35 you're literally going to call it trash, and that's just dumb.
@@tonyl9636I don't care about empty stats! How many games did 27 won without Jokić, in his hole career! Look how he plays with Canada, it's laughable! He's playstile is not winning, smart basketball! He makes nobody better, no one gets involved because he's dribbling around and takes tough shots! He plays like a D- version of Harden or F- version of Luka! The truth is, HE'S THE BIGGEST JOKIĆ MERCHANT EVER
I wish they would trade MPJ for Levine. It's an upgrade that would make Levine the second best player on the team. Denver can't advance in the playoffs when Murray and MPJ are too soft. When they get crowded by defenders they wilt. We need to try something else.
They need an upgrade in Defense not in Offense
@@ajcornstarPorter can’t do either so why not just have better offense? And start Watson for defense
Ryan overly sounding alarms here and on pick axe
You what I believe is that our team is built on the back of jokers talent as most are but tbh other teams #2s or #1s have bad games too. I think we pay attention to Murray cuz nuggets are our team but I’ve watched games where Brown or Tatum go 5-14 or 2-9 from 3.. happens to curry ..Bron .. we kno AD’ll no show u.. harden .. SGA has bad games .. Giannis.. even Joker has bad games defensively where it costs us games. I just think we put so much of a microscope from game to game in a long ass season.
Lack of coverage .. tape delay n no daily sports media will have u thinking Michael Jordan never had bad games.. Kobe shot his teams out of games a lot of times.. Shaq had weight issues that affected his health like Zion.
I just believe in chemistry and continuity is key in a long NBA season. Health n Reps. Rockets are great team n we didn’t have 2 of our best players available.. hell I felt like if joker played we would’ve been blown out as well. Western Conference is tough
It's clear OKC will be #1 seed so Denver is just pacing themselves to be healthy in the play offs. They just need to finish top 4 as realistically Denver would beat any Western team and OKC is their biggest threat.
Nuggets nation........ mmm ......
Don't you worry....... mmm .....
Everything gonna be so good so nice so beautiful... Just wait 20 to 40 games more, and JaBum going be in shape, mpj great on d and all, we clicking we cooking... We going to be there... mmmm ... 🥲😉🥲
Actually, we know, called to play in your country, kept beauty,instead, and let the man okay...
But... Wooow, claro che sapiamo Todo...
That's the worst .. sneaky ways u ../ even move your eyes,or have tgat ..' smiles'/
Ljak
2 seed is in no way nuggets goal right now- most likely health and 4 seed. Nuggets were not beating Rockets last night. Probably lose that game with Joker and AG
Worst, u person know it's a serious injury...
Jugiskavia does ..
And ,so sneaky u .... Hit other players,
Noooo
THERE IS 0 BASKETBALL REASONS TO TRADE MPJ FOR ZACK LAVINE
You’ll see when MPJ scores 7 points in game 7 again while Murray has 35 jokic has 34 MPJ cannot score against physicality
Stop riding MPJ, trade him while you can don’t waste Jokic prime with mediocre players
@@boblully5053 where did I ever say I was opposed to trading MPJ?? There is 0 basketball reason to trade him for Zach lavine. Lavine is not the answer
@@danielrecalderon6735bravo my friend! The only thing I would ad, is, that 27 is the biggest problem and Jokić merchant! He's absolutely worthless without Nikola! I like MPJ more! The Nuggets are wasting Jokić's prime and greatness for sure
I need to apologize..
But OMG, tgis Blackburn person... It's difficult to listen ( as all respect goes to the other)/ ,but..
1. 2 nd time I'm hearing 'the person_ seccond time,just start makes me ...omg..
