Jokic is going to shoot .800 from the field this season now that heaves don't count.

The fact that the Nuggets have always sucked balls without Jokic isn’t because they don’t have a good backup center it’s because Murray cannot create anything without Jokic.

How are the nuggets still bad without Jokic and new bench players? I think this is on the coaches or maybe Murray.

He just needs to pretend he is against the Lakers and he would be fine.

Oh hey, Malone might have figured out playing nearly all bench lineups tends to be a **** idea.

Agreed, I said in another thread that the Nuggets should focus on getting Braun and Cam going. They are going to need them in the playoffs.

Braun has improved but Cam's been sucking hard and there is no excuse for it.

I think Braun will get benched for Tim Hardaway in a lot of post-season games. You can't have a shooting guard in 2025 that is afraid to shoot when it matters.
