It’s very hard to repeat, that’s why it was always hilarious that people were acting like the Nuggets would just steamroll through the West.

As good as they were last season, they’ve never been so dominant to make that seem possible.

The West is much improved this season and if they make the finals it’s going to have been a huge dogfight.


People just have a hard time betting on young teams. Outside Denver, the Best teams in the West are Minny, OKC and Dallas after the deadline. I could see why Denver was such a strong consensus pick.

Are we seriously blaming injury for Murray's poor play?


Jadens defense is a big factor but Murray is obviously injured

I mean all you have to do is look at his series stats Vs La last year compared to this year. Night and day against the exact same La roster.

After having a great series against the Lakers, MPJ has been legit horrible the first 2 games of this series.

Denver's offense looks like the Heat this year.

KCP has been bbq chicken this series. Denver needs to try throwing Gordon at him, but that might not be enough food speed.

Going to be interesting if there’s even a way back for the Nuggets.

Wolves are almost like a more souped up version of Miami last year except they actually have reliable offensive threats.

If you watched last year and this year, you’d see the Lakers played him much, much better this year.

Murray straight hugged McDaniels on that drive and no call
And then he bumped Towns on his 3p shot right after
