I genuinely think the weight loss after his knee injury kinda nerfed him and affected his touch and post game. He was able to back down and box-out mostly everyone in the paint but now I've seen him struggle to even secure rebounds against players way smaller than him.

First three games in, and I've never seen our offense struggle this hard in the Jokić prime era. The two-man game with Murray seems to be well defended now, and I'm wondering if it's time to blow it up next season with a sign-and-trade Jokić?

Jokic has made it very clear fans booing is unacceptable to him. Fans have made it very clear they are frustrated with the team by continuing to boo.

I think this is a big dilemma. Yes, fans should be frustrated and need to voice that. Booing I think is the wrong way. When you boo someone its basically a giant "fuck you". Is that what we are really saying to Jokic, Murray, AG etc?

I have been a fan since Chris Jackson existed and played for Denver (little humor; for those that don't know Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf). I have been there for some really terrible and frustrating times with this team. Not once have I considered booing "my" team.

Here's where the double edged sword plays in... Jokic has made it clear in the past he doesn't want to play anywhere but Denver. He has a player option after this season and looking to sign an extension. If his feelings about booing are legit and fans continue, what's going to stop him from walking/retiring at the end of this season? Are fans ready to root for a Nuggets team SANS Jokic?

Realistically I know fans booing is more aimed at ownership and the coaching staff. My whole point is if you really feel the need to boo your favorite players, just be careful what you wish for...

Ok so we can all already see that this team is looking questionable at best. Effort seems lacking, offensive rhythm seems super inconsistent, players aren’t playing like themselves, and everyone’s got a very defensive and complacent attitude.

On one hand we can chalk it up to overreacting to our first games. But when we got punked so badly in the playoffs, and then jump into the new season with the same energy, it’s cause for concern. Especially in an off season where “everything but Jokic is on the table”, where words like complacent were being thrown around. Not to mention the Kroenke’s spending money elsewhere but tightening up finances for our team, it really makes you wonder if we can take this team seriously at all.

So, what would the ideal next step be? In a perfect world with a proactive front office, what would you want for this team? The way I see it we have a handful of options, but who knows what the FO wants to do. We could:

1) Try to make it work with the team as it is

2) Fire Adelman, promote Joerger

3) Make a significant trade or two

4) Total rebuild

I’m not sure if there are any other avenues for us. But you have to ask yourself how serious this team really is, and what would be best for our immediate future as well as our long term plans. And sure it’s only been 3 games and we already have injured guys, but I really don’t like what I’m seeing. What do you guys think?

Me and my girlfriend are in Denver for the week from Michigan (pistons fan here but nuggets have been my second team for a while) and we are going to the game tonight. We are staying somewhat close to the arena, but was wondering if anyone had any tips on best strat for parking/driving. We ideally would love to explore Denver and just walk right up to the arena when the doors open, but I’m unsure on if that will work parking wise. We are also wondering if ubering might just be our best bet. If anyone has any advice, we would gladly take it lol. Thanks everyone!

Seriously, after the performance last night, especially with that block, we may have picked up a GEM. To early to call, but I think we are in a good spot.

Hello chums

Genuinely Curious about this. Please for the love of AG be civil lol

They may have been old and Scott was grouchy but I still miss them. I'll miss Marlowe calling the game. Imagine if he had been the one to call that Jokic pass.

I was just rewatching the some clips from the game last night and this duo worked out really well. They connected on both ends. On defense you’ll see Braun as the PoA and Brazile as the athletic help and it led to blocks/tough shots multiple times. They also have both had really good hustle so far and are getting down and dirty, also crashing the boards— the rebound numbers are great for them. Multiple offensive boards for both of them in games 1 and 2. Both of them crashing led to a putback by brazile where it was bouncing to Dejounte but Braun got a hand on it to knock it away and it went right to brazile who had got in there for an easy dunk.

It’s like the defense and hustle is compounding on itself, when both of them are putting in the energy like that it becomes so much harder for the other team to account for them.

I really hope braun gets his shot back because everything is there for him besides that, the defense, hustle, athleticism, finishing. Just needs that 3pt. And Brazile is a revelation, what a rookie. But still these two guys play off each other, contagious energy, just outworking everyone else. I want to see more of them together (obviously with a shot creator though, but it’s like a perfect combo to pair with jokic) and see what they can do
