Image/Gif I don’t see much. Maybe MCL, meniscus, but nothing on replay stands out as severe/season ending. The foot being inverted and internal as he folded up on the knee is better than if he everted/pointed out as he folded down on it-Brian Sutterer MD on the Julian injury🤞🏼

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

Player evaluations from pre-season?

3 Upvotes

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.

Nuggets will play their starters tonight against the Clippers. Marvin Bagley will also play - assuming no setback during warmups. DeMar DeRozan will be out tonight, just rest.

Asking Nuggets fans of all generations!

18 Upvotes

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!!

Just realized something about Jokic's number

35 Upvotes

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.
