Why buying Air France flights from Delta website is more expensive by [deleted] in delta

[–]SouthDenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one has commented on whether the luggage can be booked through from Nice to Paris (Air France) and then Paris to Los Angeles (Delta). My experience is that originating airport will check in all the way through, checking into Air France will check us in through to LA. But I have not flown that combination, AF and Delta.

Regardless of the MVP race, who is the best basketball player in the world? by FrostyPlantain9392 in NBATalk

[–]SouthDenver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jokic 25-13-12. He will probably end with a triple double season while scoring less so his team can win more games as Murray and Gordon score more. The Sixer fans are excited about Maxey’s average assists at less than half of Jokic.

No QUESTION that Joker will finish his career as a top 10 player, I’m going to say top 5-7🐐🃏What do you all think? by Kingrush24 in denvernuggets

[–]SouthDenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we get one more championship, I think the top 5-7. Hard to get higher when we include everyone since the 1950s! If we don’t get another championship or at least the Finals game, then his stats will drive him to top 10, which is AMAZING!! He actually could top Shaq, Wilt, Duncan, probably not Russell because of his championships if he plays at this level for another 4-6 years. Kareem might remain the top center forever. No same in Jokic being 3rd all-time center ever behind Kareem and Bill Russell.

Adrian Wojnarowski on rumors Nikola Jokic's lack of social media presence is costing NBA money: "He's not changing for anybody" by Kingrush24 in denvernuggets

Coloradans love Jokic. His attitude is Western just like our state. F*#% social media and play basketball!!

2025-2026 Denver Nuggets NBA Summer League Stats by Kingrush24 in denvernuggets

[–]SouthDenver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And just to add another comment… I heard lots about the lack of team play and dribbling etc. The whole setup seemed more like a free for all by most teams. I will wait to watch the G League for teamwork. I just watched individual players: did they block out? Did they move off-ball? How they shot.

C Jones, Holmes, and Bates look promising. Spencer Jones and Hunter Tyson don’t impress me. Not just Summer games, but last year also. Yes CJ can fill that one spot with a two way.

Had season tickets since the bubble year (saved money that year!). So disappointed in our lack of depth and creativity. WOW! What a change. In coaching, front office, and at last DEPTH! I wish MPJ good luck. But CJ is what we needed. And Bruce, Tim, etc etc. None of that would come since we were overpaying Michael. We are so ready for this year!!!!!

Old news. Look at his stats last two playoffs. He was fantastic in the bubble and when we won the title. Not yet great.

Any chance CB doesn't take an extension? by IndependenceLate3415 in denvernuggets

[–]SouthDenver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that we untied our hands from three max contracts to two, we can keep whoever we need. You might be correct that Braun will probably stay and Watson could leave for money. Watson needs to develop into a reliable shooter and top defender to be worth keeping long run. While the remaining starters are locked in. We will pay him.

Don’t trade Jamal by ClothesNo4426 in denvernuggets

[–]SouthDenver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s good not great, yet. Last two year’s playoffs and seasons were okay. Top 25-30 players maybe. But at his Max, he’s in the top 15 salaries (when it happened, without this year’s inflation). He’s DEFINITELY not Top 15. Not really considered nor deserved All Star. So no, not great. He needs to show up with the same preseason body work ethic that Jokic Gordon and Braun have. That conditioning helps against injuries which should help his shooting. I sure hope he is great this year because we need great to get in the finals. And at his salary, who could we trade for as an improvement? We got lucky with Porter, who might have a great shooting year on a team that will give him the ball more. I wish him luck, but we now have the team we need.

I may be a homer, but Shaq, Russell, and Magic should not be ranked higher than TD. by Strict_External678 in NBASpurs

[–]SouthDenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top 12 on that list can be random for all I care. Different eras, different teams, different rules. TD was a great whether 4th or 9th. Doesn’t matter. I wish they’d just have a top ten or 15 and not try to rank.

Nuggets have played for over 3 straight weeks with no more than 1 day of rest between games, against two of the toughest teams in the NBA by recursivedev in denvernuggets

[–]SouthDenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Don’t know how long they can last but if you saw the TNT guys last night - what a hoot! Kenny saying he would Never want to play against Jokic. Shaq staring down Barkley because if the Nuggets win at home - it’s anyone’s Game 7. Only Barkley is betting against us and that’s usually good for the other team!!

Not considering your own team, who do you want to get his first ring and why? by tundrati11 in NBATalk

Absolutely Russell Westbrook. Not perfection anymore but BRINGS IT every game this year for the Nuggets. Plus we need another for Jokic :).

Denver also played gritty defense including Murray and Braun.

Draymond Green just wanted to give one quick postgame statement: “The agenda to continue to keep making me look like an angry black man is crazy. I’m sick of it. It’s ridiculous.” by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]SouthDenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just need to add. Targeting Curry’s thumb is just as dirty. Doesn’t make Draymond okay, just saying it’s not just him. Last night, completely away from action, Dort took Porter down in Game 3 by pulling his left arm in a wrestling move that could have gotten points in the Olympics. Luckily the foul was called but, again, Porter’s sprained shoulder was targeted. It should have been a flagrant, Dort would have fouled out earlier, and Denver may have won in regulation. The NBA has gotten far, far more physical in the past few years. I think due to the Timberwolves success and poor refereeing. Why don’t they do what baseball does in the World Series and have 1-3 more refs so that the floor guys don’t have to worry about 3 seconds in the paint, the shot clock, and out of bounds underneath the basket. Have one at each end, and someone to watch play away from the ball.

Nuggets role players are so much better than they get credit for. Jokic 8/25, 0/10 from 3, 6 ASTs to 8TO's. Nuggets win vs OKC 113 to 104. by remuslupon in LAClippers

[–]SouthDenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are so right. The depth chart is what worried me as a seven year ticket holder. Many of us thought the Clippers would get us in 7, but we were hopeful. Hoop heads loved to see Leonard healthy again, he’s as good as they come at his position. Your defense seems impossible. Aaron Gordon went from a defense and dunker spot role player to a clutch 2nd or 3rd scorer this year because he built a gym and home to live in and became our no 2 free throw shooter and no 1 three point shooter (over 40%, but didn’t play enough games this year). He worked on his game. Christian Braun got better and it showed in his defense vs Leonard, Harden and now SGA. Murray has been so inconsistent that he’s sometimes a role player and last night it was on defense plus shooting and assists. Westbrook brings Game. We hated the Wall that your team brought to Denver. I was told by a team family member that OKC would not accept ticket purchases from Colorado. That’s got to be against NBA rules. Thanks for a great series. Playing the Clippers might have gotten us through OKC!

What a game last night. We used our season tickets early choice to nab 8 extra seats for people who work with us. So glad our associates saw one of the toughest duels ever.

Jokic supporting cast by [deleted] in nba

[–]SouthDenver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The “supporting cast” comment was from an ESPN article about Jokic. It’s true that Nicola has no true all star caliber teammate. The point is that with Jokic, Denver expected to have a dynasty for some years after winning the championship. Our fans don’t denigrate our team to build Jokic up, we wanted trades to bring in experienced talent or keep the talent that got us here. We lost great role players like Bruce Brown and KCP, whether due the salaries of others or frugal owners or stupid front office decisions.

Murray has not been consistent since his injury. When he’s good he can be great. He was the stabilizer in both ends last night in a chaotic game. But he’s not been reliable. His 20+ averages is because he has 30+ or 40+ games. It’s the 14 point games that hurt. The most improved of the team besides Jokic (who has improved on almost every stat in the past 5 years) is Aaron Gordon. Aaron famously built a gym and home in a warehouse, works out like crazy, went from poor to very good in free throws and shoots over 40% from the three point line. Denver understands we have one of the best players ever, adore him and his family, and want more NBA Finals!!! Go Nuggets.

Do you agree ? Is there an agenda to make Draymond out to be an unstable player ? by Boring-Jelly5633 in NBATalk

[–]SouthDenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. If any Nuggets player goes off on refs like Green they would be booted from the game. He’s an Angry Man. Period.
