@Matthewp7741 @azzmaster Before last year, they ranked 8th, 14th and 11th. That’s consistently solid to good defence over multiple seasons. The team has generally been competent defensively until the last 2 years.

@azzmaster It’s damn near impossible to cover for a center whos as bad defensively as jokic
English
The Nuggets roster is far from perfect, but the mental gymnastics that some people do to pretend that Jokic’ own weaknesses aren’t part of those flaws is crazy. Any team with him on it is going to be behind an 8 ball defensively because he’s a pg that rebounds not a center

@MPJTruther I’m thinking we salary dump Cam, and resign Watson and call it a day
English
@BobbySammonov Need more scoring punch if Jamal or AG get traded for a more defensive starting lineup
English
QUESTION OF THE DAY: ❓👇
Would you move on from Cam Johnson if it meant retaining Peyton Watson? 🤔
English
Pwat really gonna become the next cb huh

One Nuggets starter is "almost guaranteed" to be sacrificed this offseason if the team moves to retain restricted free agent Peyton Watson, per @BennettDurando “One of the Nuggets’ top priorities will be retaining restricted free agent Peyton Watson, and if they do, at least one current starter is almost guaranteed to be sacrificed in a corresponding cost-cutting move.“ (denverpost.com/2026/05/01/nug…)
English
That feels like a very poor decision IMO
This also feels very Nuggets. Feels like they’ll try and lock up Peyton Watson and trade Cam.
Maybe from a big swing standpoint that’s all they can pull off. However, not to switch up the leadership feels very misguided to me.

David Adelman is expected to return as head coach of the Denver Nuggets for his second season, per @BennettDurando “Despite chatter that Adelman may already be on the hot seat one year into his tenure, the early sense within the organization is that he’ll return for his second season. He led the Nuggets to 54 regular-season wins with 28 different starting lineups before wiping out in the playoffs.” (denverpost.com/2026/05/01/nug…)
English
@CTFazio24 It seems like ownership is content with the best cheapest option to staff every off-court position
English
It would be completely justified if DEN wanted to pivot. The Nuggets played with a lack of team spirit and trust on the floor, and belief in each other. Absence of rotation changes (Strawther), stale two man game vs McDaniels and Rudy, and no shift in defensive coverages

@Shapalicious I’ve given up on ownership ever course-correcting. Even after the Booth disaster, they doubled down on more of the same. They hired a rookie coach because he was available and cheap, and rookie co-GMs because they were the cheapest viable option

@bryanfrosting @NuggetsLead That tough shot making gave us 11 points on 45% TS last wolves series bud
English
@NuggetsLead MPJs tough shotmaking is also on another level than Cam. They both have their strengths but MPJ when healthy is better.

A comparison of MPJ and Cam Johnson's last playoff runs for the Nuggets (keep in mind MPJ was dealing with an injury)
Any thoughts?? 👇

@BaldNostradamus @balldontTy Anyone but Jokic obviously. These people have been waiting for years for him to fail to resurface their bad takes.
English
Who would you have liked to win mvp in each of those years?
If Embiid won in 21/22 I think we could easily be making the same argument about how bad those MVPs look based on his playoff resume
In 24 jokic had the same record as Shai so the 1/2 seeding thing seems irrelevant.
I could see arguments for Giannis in 22 and Luka in 24 but not a hill I’m gonna die on
English
further emphasizing my point. Jokers 3 MVPs are media awards. propped up by analytic fetishes & spreadsheet simps who can’t grasp that Jokic has pretty much had the same exact season for x5 yrs w/ a system & roster around him that bolster his advanced numbers.
truth be told he’s a x1 MVP winner that benefited from media hype to edge out 2 more 🤷♂️
Ty@balldontTy
the thing we’re omitting here & why the media “overhype” is relevant is that it snowballs & results in the very awards they turn around & give the player. Jokic is 3x MVP winner. 2021 he avg 26/10/8 on a 3 seed. he won in landslide over Embiid, who avg 28/10/3 as a 1 seed 2022 he avg 27/13/7 on a SIX SEED, again won over Embiid who avg 30/12/4 on a 4 seed 2024 he avg 26/12/9 on a 2 seed, won over SGA & Luka.. we all know that MVP debate. Point is, media narratives at the time were Embiid is playoff choker, which seriously hurt his MVP motion. Jokic was viewed as the advanced stats Second Coming of Christ. In these close MVP races, media perception of Jokic helped him win votes. If Jokic had the narrative that’s on him as of today back in 21, 22 or 24, does he win? I genuinely think no. There’s an argument to be made if media isn’t in love with Jokic to the level they were, there’s a world where he’s a maybe 1 time winner. There’s a reason rings are the ultimate value in weighing legacy over MVP awards. no amount of media hype can put that ring on your finger.

@jdub_goat @abdz24 Roster was dog shit in 2025. They had about 6 1/2 playable NBA players. The front office soft punted both 2024 and 2025 to develop late round draft picks.
English
@rxmart2 @JamCristopher You don’t think there is any merit to the idea the team is just stale or the formula doesn’t work anymore?
English
@JamCristopher getting progressively worse, ala Bucks, or make a dumb trade like the 2008 Pistons just to shake things up.
English
DEN and HOU went out in such a way that makes it almost impossible to come back with the same nucleus
English
@WembyAlienEra I’m getting really tired of him talking like he’s a 10x finals mvp & coach of the year
English
Wembanyama on the playoffs and making adjustments against the same team:
“It was good, it was fun, but Portland is a pretty straightforward team..
I’m excited to play against teams that will challenge more of the tactical, technical basketball aspect.”

@hoopordie7777 Teams paying attention don’t get fooled by CB running a split cut for the 20th time

@jasonwhitlock @SkapAttack The best so called player in the NBA should not be losing in the 1st round against a team without their best player in his prime
English
.@SkapAttack passionately defended Nikola Jokic following the Nuggets' elimination last night. He claims the only thing separating Jokic from the likes of Shaq and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a competent supporting cast.
English
The Nuggets 2 man game has always really been a 3 man game. No AG renders it useless, we saw this play out all year long. I’m so sad about Mr Nugget. I hate that you simply cannot rely on his presence any more
English
@thepahomie @francistennn Not having a TS% of 48 this series while being the worst defender on the team would prob help Denver overcome Jokic
English
@francistennn Their center is the worst defensive center in the league for a contender . There is nothing Murray can do to overcome that deficiency, only Aaron can help a bit but he’s hurt
English
murray’s overtaxed in a way you only see from co-stars next to offensive bigs, like they ask him to have steph and manu level of role versatility on offense instead of just regular low-level all-star guard stuff
English
@francistennn He’s overtaxed because he can’t deal with physicality, and every team has one or multiple athletic wings that can shut them down
English
@CmonNowStephon @aronov_emmanuel Only time he did was he played 15 minutes a night, which is probably his ideal role
English
@aronov_emmanuel I dont think hes ever had it. Hes had a bit of dog in him sure but his hustle has always been lacking. Doesnt crash the offensive glass with enough force doesnt dive for loose balls doesnt harass ball handlers. Just doesnt have IT or the requisite energy for his role
English
Think about Marcus Smart and Christian Braun. Both supposed to be the defensive stopper/hustle guy for the team and Marcus Smart willing to die out there. Christian Braun do not got the requisite heart or hustle for his role
English
