Nuggets and Thunder tied for best home court advantage🏔️🏀

What are your hot takes or unpopular opinions of this season?

Mine are that we'll be 5th-6th seed. Possibly even play-in. Less than 50 wins. I genuinely think our defense is so bad we won't be able to compete with the top seeds.

Didn’t look good. I hope it’s not serious. I was looking forward to seeing him contribute this year.

but 20th in threes 🤷

also, the man behind coach adelman looks like he has tumors on his legs

Not sure who all the other dots are but this was in response to Adam Mares “Denver Nuggets Elbow Series” on X🏀🏔️

Brazile needs minutes this season he doesn’t need to be sitting on the bench. He will be our Watson replacement

Would love people’s thoughts on the roster based on what we’ve seen in preseason.

A couple of my own observations:
- Jokić, Murray, and Gordon look really healthy and in good shape coming into the season. Maybe the best shape we’ve seen those three in a long time.
- Braun looks healthy, but we really haven’t seen him show the step forward yet that would prove he’s going to be a reliable starter
- Cam Johnson looks pretty Sharp, and seems like he has taken a step forward and fits better within the office. We desperately need good three-point shooting, Johnson could be a big part of that.
- until the injury, I thought Strawther was looking great. Hopefully he comes back strong.
- Brazile seems really good, and I could see him playing a meaningful role off the bench
- Diallo seems to be everything he’s cracked up to be defensively, but they have to find a way to fit him into the offense
- DeRozan looked pretty solid in the games he played. His shot was a little hit or miss, but he’s a veteran, and if he can get in a good flow and give us 60 meaningful games off the bench helping to be an offensive engine while Jokić and or Murray are out, that would add a lot to the roster.
- Whitmore is a wildcard and I don’t know what to think yet

In general, everything will rest on health. Particularly, we need Jamal and Gordon healthy for a full season. We need Johnson and Braun to take a step. But if this team can stay reasonably healthy, I could see them posting 55+ wins and being third or fourth in the West at the end of the year.

Wemby has major upside but has not proven himself to be the best CONSISTENTLY🃏🐐

Hey Nuggets fans, so I’m making a video on each franchise’s biggest upset (when they were not expected to win) and each franchise’s biggest choke (sorry if that strikes a chord). I have my guesses for each but I wanted to ask actual Nuggets fans to see what you guys think and if you have better answers that I should look at.

I'm considering an upset strictly as when that team was not supposed to win or were big underdogs and won. A choke can either be when your team was expected to win and underperformed, or blew a big lead in an important game or in the playoffs (something around those lines). It can also be a blown playoff lead (example: 3-1 lead)

Let me know what you guys think, I will link the video here when it’s done. Good luck to you guys this season!!

He has the passing/playmaking of a point guard, but he plays at center.

He has the skill of a 1 but he plays the 5.

1 5

15

Just realized this now, lol. I wonder if he chose that number with this in mind.
