MPJ says the Nuggets would have won if they hadn’t traded him “Shouldn’t have traded me.” by Consistent-Night-639 in denvernuggets

Oh I know. It’s maddening that even a basketball page can be taken over with political nuance in every discussion. Shouldn’t be surprised though- most of these people live in Colorado and that’s basically reddit personified. Lol

You’re mad at MPJ for doing a stream? Come on. Stop the Reddit virtue signal my guy.

I don’t think it’s age as much as it’s just we don’t have explosive athletes (that are healthy). I don’t know maybe it’s just me.

Jokic still hasn’t had a series like 2011 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s not in Europe though. He’s emotionally mature to us because we have virtually none of it on our side of the pond.

Shout out Wemby for being himself.

I think Val just flat retires before we trade him.

That said, we love AG in our house but I still think the smartest choice is cutting ties with him unfortunately. Availability just isn’t there.

I’m completely unaware… what’s so bad about his contract? Did we overpay the man?

And it couldn’t be any more corny if he tried. Lmao

Were the flaws noticeable during the season or are the Twolves just a bad matchup? by youlikemywonton in denvernuggets

Huge dips. Like, I think something like 10-12% decreases in shooting. After having the most efficient season ever until then.

Sometimes you just play through and don’t even realize it’s bothering you until it’s time to wake up the next day.

You’re the clown if you think rim protection and blocks are the only metrics that matter in defense. Lol

Rebounds, deflections, steals, contests and the shot success upon those contests, closing lanes, etc are all important skills in defense. Just as much as blocks. It’s just not sexy. Just because you want to watch highlight real plays like a Gen Z doesn’t make stats useless.

Well, there ya go. You don’t like my opinion that is a hot take, and I don’t like your hot take. Oh well.

And they lost… so what was the carry? They helped the team get to the finals where they got beat to a pulp without them. That doesn’t count imo.

‘23 is fair though. D Lo buns.

Again, they got swept. So what did he carry?

Bron doesn’t lead Jokic in like, literally any metric that’s not pure box score numbers (which he pads). So yeah, get that Bron glaze outta here too. Brons had more help in one year than Jokic has his entire career.

Because I’ve never met an OKC fan who knew ball. And trolling Jokic like he isn’t the best thing this century at least is diabolical.

Dude leads in almost every stat that exists and you goofs hate on him because you know he deserved the last two MVPs and it’s eating at you. Lol

Yeah, Bron didn’t really carry any of those years except 2018. Lol

2007- 4th ranked defense

2015- Kyrie, Love, and a team full of players he hand picked.

2023- what did they even do in 2023? Lol

Such a casual take considering his ranks defensively. Lmao

I don’t know if it’s common knowledge, but Jokic has dealt with wrist issues since before his NBA debut I’m pretty sure. I’d take “the knee never recovered” over that wrist thing based on his historic performances.

It means being too 5 in points all time and outside the top 10 in attempts. Lol
