big honey and the nuggets

Never in my wildest dreams did I think that absolute dominance would look like that.

poor guy, there are lots of trade rumors about him and that’s got to be tough on a second year player. KCP said yesterday or the day before that it really affected him earlier in his career. that said I think the nuggets should definitely look to move him if the right offer comes along, though I doubt it will

not sure he's shown enough to net much in return. seems like useful player to have on your roster but if hes checked out and feels disrespected then not what can you do

Last year, AG set a career high with 130 dunks in 75 games. This season, he already has 125 dunks. More than a quarter of his shots have been dunks! All he does is dunk, dunk, dunk, no matter what. And it's awesome. https://t.co/LIpTadzwon pic.twitter.com/3ExY2ALNyD

the stats of the soon to be 3x MVP are no longer impressive to ILH, sad!

vibes

last season's suns traumatized me that all vibes are a mirage. luckily joker and jamal are sterling vibes guys, gotta keep an eye in that mpj fella tho

porter really seems to have bought into his role, he’s competing really hard on defense lately, been shooting great, vibes are good

Another record in the books. The Nuggets have now won 25 consecutive games when Jokić records a triple double, the longest such streak in the NBA history.

(from zach harper’s recent power rankings column) here’s what makes me optimistic about the nuggets prospects for the playoffs…their best lineups just run teams off the floor, both to start the game and then, if needed, in crunch time (including on defense). the non-jokic minutes of course have been a disaster for years now but the bench really seems to be turning a corner lately

feel like they need murray to really ball out while jokic sits cause even if the bench is playing better now the playoffs has a way of taking stuff like that away, any shaky stuff

also is joker in big minutes a question mark does he get tired

jokic I’m not worried about, he’s an ironman, 6th in minutes played overall over the last 6 seasons, and in 4th quarters in the playoffs since 2020 he’s averaging 29.0 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per 36 on .533/.457/.903 shooting in 211 minutes, +38 in those minutes, and the majority of those minutes are against better teams. for sure malone will need to figure out the best staggers for the playoffs and that’s something I’m keeping an eye on. murray has been playing great lately.

the bench minutes’ floor just has to be somewhere resembling average, and so much of their struggles can be traced to bones and deandre jordan, both of whom will be out of the playoff rotation. jordan/bones lineups have been an insanely bad 15.5 per 100 possession in 271 minutes, something that seems impossible for reggie jackson and thomas bryant not to improve upon. jeff green also seems likely to be squeezed out of the rotation pretty soon

since 12/30, jokic is shooting .655/.553/.865 (which is good)

hmm he should shoot more then

he shoots a perfect amount, shooting too much is selfish

tricking people into thinking aaron gordon is good is dishonest

jeff green does this like once a week and it’s breathtaking every time

feel like the thread title should be "big honey and the nuggs"

mods

FINE

btw can I just say it is so amazing to be a fan of this team right now, best player, vibes continue to set record highs, window open for another few years…extremely good

theyre a cool nice team for sure

I just have to chuckle sometimes when I think about what jokic’s stats would look like if he tried to do as much as embiid, giannis, luka, other guys who are desperate for the MVP but won’t win. sad for them!!

jokic literally doesn’t care, he’ll take 8 shots a night and be a +15 in a W, these other fools are out there with a 40% usage trying to prove something or whatever

just remembering earlier in the season when j0rdan was suggesting tatum should be the MVP, yikes!

or maybe jokic cares so much about his stats that he only takes primo shots to keep his TS% sky high makes you think

yeah that’d be something to think about for sure if he didn’t lap the league in +/-

he’s just on a different level than these guys, 3x MVP is a tough club to join. no disrespect to guys with 35+ usage trying their best to help their teams!

just silly looking at his numbers, +/-, team results, etc. a one of one situation

curry-esque actually in the way he can just be out there and change the gravity of the game in a way that leads to wins even if he doesn’t shoot
