Grow up. People need to teach you manners I see. But I agree Jokic didn’t take over he is the best player in the. World and didn’t play up to his standards.

You know this is an English message board. So don’t be afraid and post it in English for everyone to see how childish you are. Again manners matters. Grow up

I guess maybe don't fire your coach and GM at the same time right before the playoffs.

What difference would it have made?

None, Nik still would've got locked up by Caruso and frustration clearly visible.

Game 7 last year and Game 4 this year are the one that hurts the most.

Game 7 last year up 20 early on the 3rd and the nuggets panicked and choked.

Game 4 this year up 8 or 9 in the 4th and the entire team choked. That's 2 massive chokes. One time can be said as fluke but twice with the same core means something has to change.

Mpj is for sure gone. Other than that the new GM has his work cut out for him. The bench needs a complete retooling and you also need to find a viable back up PG to give Murray 12-15 mins of rest a game. A backup PF for Gordon. A backup SG and most importantly a backup C for the non jokic minutes.

That's a major retooling with basically no cap space. Looking like an impossible job that no big time GM will want to take.

Their offense lacks creativity like the Celtics. It's basically drive-and-kick to spam 3 pointers. Not the funniest thing to watch
Their offence seems to be mainly making their opponent cough up the ball and then scoring on the resulting fast break. It's wonderful to watch from a basketball fundamentals perspective.


Oh their defense is an absolute treat to watch. It's my favourite defensive team since the 2019 Raptors

Prime Curry as well. Denver is low key a good team. Despite the constant bashing of everyone not named Jokic.

Jalen Williams the only reason this wasn't a 4-5 game series. It's hard to describe how atrocious his offense was 90% of this series. Singlehandedly lost Okc games. His atrocious offense will cost them eventually.

The Nuggets shot 31% from 3 in this series. No chance.
