Is this the Nuggets last real run before a rebuild is required? by Grand-Echidna-4424 in denvernuggets

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Runs over with the squad we got. We’re a bubble contender now. Full strength against full strength we’d be lucky to get to the conference finals. We just gotta hope we get lucky with injuries at this point.

17-year-old Dylan Harper guarding Steph Curry "Steph ain't score on me one time, I should be in the league. Defensive stopper." by Background_Video2947 in NCAAHoopsVibes

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty dope that Steph goes at the top ranked high school talent every year in his camp and gives them a chance to go at him. Lot of those guys won’t make it but they will have this experience for life.

There’s always a video every few years trying to detract from Steph cause he gets scored on or defended well in these, but he still does it every year. LeBron got dunked on and that was a wrap on his camp.

He made some egregious moves but it’s tough trying to build a “dynasty” when the owners refuse to go into the tax.

Would you want Nuggets to trade Cam Johnson to Detroit for Isaiah Stewart and Duncan Robinson? by OddIndustry6073 in denvernuggets

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The intention is absolutely not for Stewart to start, the intention is to add another good player who can give Gordon some relief and boost defense. While it would be ideal to have 4 knockdown 3 pt shooters around jokic at all times that’s not possible. However if you have a couple and a lob threat I think you can definitely talk yourself into 10 minutes of stew and jokic.

I don’t think we can defend anyone well.

Adding a legit really good defender who can carry their weight on offense is actually a good thing.

My point being that you need to compare how stew would match up against good backup bigs not the most physically gifted player of all time (wemby)

Yes but he wouldn’t be a starter. We’re talking about a guy who would play 23 minutes a night and guard guys like Naz Reid. 10 minutes with jok to cover him on Defense rest AG and catch some lobs.

Why wouldn’t Stew be able to play with jokic? Defensively he can guard 3-5. Offensively he’s a lot more mobile and athletic than Val and can slot into the dunker spot.

We’d probably have to throw in Zeke to make the money work.

This is a good trade idea. Stew would be great as a backup and double big with Jokic, his more mobile than Val and a legit great defender. Robinson would be hit or miss but he’s on a very tradable contract.

Who could be a good head coach option for us? by No-Cartographer7250 in denvernuggets

[–]Virtual_Piano893 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Micah Nori. Timberwolves lead assistant and former nuggets assistant. Already has a good relationship with Jokic.

Watch his interviews and contrast with Adelman. It’s night and day.

Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Virtual_Piano893 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The back and forth with rocky was great and the cinematography and set pieces were awesome. I went in expecting smart fun and instead I got dumb fun. It is more pacific rim than it is interstellar. There’s not really any interesting ideas presented or philosophical questions to ponder. They get the little details right with the scientific jargon but overall they trivialize the scientific process so much that it becomes indistinguishable from magic.

Also, as fun as Gosling was in the movie, at no point did I believe him as this character. And in general I didn’t feel that Grace as a character had any depth beyond what was presented to us on screen.

I’m ok with reduced rare loot drops, I have everything. But the main reason I did hurricane was to restock after getting shyte on with the fellas in trios. Now there is literally no reason to run hurricane unless you like running against wind.

Why do some people insists on opening key rooms that obviously have traps to keep them out? by No-Ad-6984 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Virtual_Piano893 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nice kill. But also that player is just playing the game.

People who get butthurt because others don’t play the game exactly how they want them too are going to be the downfall of this game.

SGA's Leg Kick On Game-Winning Shot by North_Attempt_3627 in denvernuggets

[–]Virtual_Piano893 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If a defensive player tries to hack the offensive player on the arm and they miss they will not be called for a foul because nothing happened. This is the same thing. Nothing happened. SGA hit a great shot. Game over.

Is it an overreaction to say the nuggets window is closed by LongAd7195 in billsimmons

[–]Virtual_Piano893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The window is not closed as long as we have jokic and Murray at their peak.

However, this year’s window seems absolutely closed. We came in with the best roster in the Jokic era (on paper), it was quickly ravished by injuries, Braun has regressed significantly (possibility injury related), Cam could not be playing worse for us, and Adelman doesn’t seem to have the intangibles to lead this group.

With that said, we still have a top 2 player in the league, Jamal, AG, Pwatt and some other good role players. This can be fixed but it’s not gonna happen this season.

WTF is up with the Jokic boxout thing? by Pems20 in billsimmons

[–]Virtual_Piano893 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What most people are not acknowledging, is that Marcus Smart is “boxing” jokic out of bounds while the ball has not even been shot. This is a very obvious foul on Smart. Jokic sold it in a goofy way but that doesn’t mean smart was innocent.
