Porter apologizes to Nuggets after Game 7

Without MPJ they aren't even beating us in round 1 honestly

He was great and in game 2 and 5 he hit the 2 biggest shots that even gave them a chance for Murray to hit the Game winners

The crazy play in game 2 where he hits the 3 and then the kickout from a rebound from Gordon to him in game 5 with like a min late

This sounds to me like "please don't trade me."

One of the things that Nuggets reporters pointed out in the series was that Minny was forcing MPJ to be a decision maker and he was failing on his reads.

If he just pretend he was facing the Lakers, he would have won game 7 Lol

Can you bet on a player making an apology to the team after a game?

Klay is washed for HIS STANDARDS but he's still better than half of the league and would definitely be a good contributor to most teams.

Hell no.

Dude just killed any little trade value he has. Go work on your game bro. That apology is useless and shows you a lil biatch! :nonono:

MPJ's offense in the POs reminds so much of Klay. He can have great stretches but also stretches where he is nowhere to be found.

Last 4 games of Minnesota series:

34mpg, 6.3ppg (fg% 0.28, 3P% 0.19), 6.3reb, 0.8 ast, TS% 0.353

for a max player

worst 4 streak games of his career... I said everything

Posts like these are why people hate Lakers fans. Were they gonna play 4 on 5? If they didn't have an old max deal wrapped up with MPJ they'd have someone else to shame LA, again.

Well he’s probably the most expendable. I’m assuming the only untouchables are Jokic and Murray. Everyone else is fair game and might be replaced. Trade Porter and fortify the bench. Reggie Jackson/peyton watson/christian braun need to be moved

I can't see them getting rid of Aaron Gordon either, he may not have been as much of a factor in the closeout games as they needed, but he's a huge part of what Denver does.

I still don't think there's much of difference between him and Davis Bertans.

Yeah AG is huge. I don't know who you can replace him with. Big versatile body that rebounds, has great hands, can guard inside and out, and occasionally hit the open 3. As much as Jokic elevates AG's game, we can't disregard AG's impact on Jokic's game. They are very complementary to each other's strengths/weaknesses and have great chemistry.

If a deal is out there to improve the team, maybe, but Denver won't just make a bunch of moves just to shake things up. They have the most stable star situation in the league and the only thing losing proves is that the players on the roster can't rest on their laurels and need to use this offseason to get better.

What? He was way better in 20-21 in the reg season. Never a riser in postseason and has gotten worse every season since, family is out of control, overpaid, limited skillset that he is obviously not trying to improve and can't even show up with that skillset when they needed it... overrated and complacent/comfortable player.

What does his family have to do with it?

Porter played like KD-lite against the lakers. Could just have simply been a bad series for him.

That's a pretty stand up thing to do :dontknow:

Unless they are willing to take a player like Ben Simmons? :wink:

I think Porter works well in Denver and probably worth more to them than other teams. Jokic makes him one of the most lethal spot up shooters in the league with his height. Every time he shoots a 3, I expect it to go in.

man, this whole family is trouble.

Jontay Porter -- busted for gambling
Jevon Porter -- DWI
Michael Porter -- basketball terrorism

I say the Nuggets run it back, there is nothing like having motivation by losing a tough series. Losing can be the ingredient that makes you better. The Spurs never won back to back but they were a quasi dynasty. I think the Nuggets would well by getting a better backup or starting PG and get rid of Reggie Jackson......
