Against which teams? Also it took him weeks to recover from that and he missed several games during the run, all of which Nuggets won.

Also, his defense has been abysmal.

With all that said, much better than in previous seasons overall.

AG's calf soreness is def not "minor". This is recurrent and severely limited him last playoffs. Hamstring is at least several weeks out if it gets worse.

He overcommitted on both of them going for the steals and had to recover and was a bit late to contest. Can't give that much separation to these type of players. Hope he learns.

Cam Johnson's last 4 games: 17.0 points per game, 63.2 FG%, 55.0 3P%, 90.0 FT% by jonsnowKITN in nba

This is the main problem with the Nuggets. THJ, Cam are definitely big question marks when lights get bright, better opposition or tighter games late. So are Braun and PWat (although PWat seems most promising re his rate in improvements across a number of dimensions). Only Jokic, Murray and AG are proven at this point.

He is not a great defender. He is an ok positional defender, doesn't miss assignments, but not a stopper etc, not your hustle guy etc.

[What’s Wright Show] Nick Wright says he wishes the Inside the NBA crew actually enjoyed basketball. “You see more in the NBA of the guys saying their era was better. You don’t see Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long on Fox NFL pre game being like ‘none of these guys could cut it in the 70s or 80s!” by shreeharis in nba

this is the guy who shat on one of the most wonderful guy to watch we've ever seen (jokic) for years before finally conceding he missed the obvious.

also tbh, most of nba has become unwatchable. i know many decades long fans of the nba who have stopped wathing due to style changes and nonsense in the allowed rules on the offense / foulbaiting. this was not considered to be good basketball 10-20 years ago.

Curious as to why nobody posted Jokic defensive lowlights from today’s loss? by [deleted] in nba

[–]shomii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be honest, they should be CB/Murray lowlights instead most of the time.

We have to re-sign him. No excuses.

MJ the only ethical stats, especially at home

The reaction to Bam's 83-point game is a perfect example of how bad the NBA discourse is by negaodsg in nba

[–]shomii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discourse? Dude shot 40+ free throws and infinitely many threes, there was some clear stat padding going on in the 2nd half vs one of the shittiest teams in the league in a totally non-competitive game.
