As a Nuggets fan what did you expect this season? 

Post#1 » by Powder Blue » Tue Dec 2, 2014 6:19 pm

No one did a prediction thread so I'm just curious what the fanbase expected from this squad this season? Corona and I seem to be on the same page with optimism while Rebel and others are still dissappointed, I think it would be nice to know what everyone expected coming into the season.

48-53 wins
6th seed if we over-achieved
7-8 seed on par with expectations
Missing the playoffs will be a failure in my opinion.

i was running my mouth all offseason about how the west wouldnt be ready when the nuggets are back at full strength lol. i thought 50 wins was a gurantee and that we'd have homecourt for at least the 1st round. still hopefull

I was thinking they battle for the 8th seed. Wasn't going to be surprised if they missed the playoffs though. I thought there was way too much optimism from the fanbase....especially regarding Gallo playing well immediately after the injury.

I had them winning at least 50 games, and still expect them to get close, the fact is this basic core won at a 47 win pace in the strike shortened season under Karl. While Gallo & McGee have struggled to come back from their injuries more than I expected but the fact is that Lawson, Afflalo, Gallo, McGee, Chandler, Mozgov, and Faried should all be improving especially since Shaw was sold as a developmental coach when they hired him.

I had them going about 48 wins, didn't expect them to make the playoffs due to the recovering players. Still could happen, just have to see which team show up.

Last year with the injuries it was a throw away year. I think they will just barely miss the playoffs this year ~46 wins.
