    Cam is still figuring out where he fits on the team. I think he'll be fine, though. The rest of the starters have been together for 3 years.

    I am also liking the JV minutes. Competent bench play is really nice to have.

    Wish I could have watched. Fucking Peacock games.

    Sportsurge.net for me works well

    Agreed on Cam. He’s been struggling a bit with off ball movement and spacing but he’ll get it figured out.

    I will say that it feels good to not have to have at minimum 3 starters playing a great game scoring. Felt the past couple of years our margin for error was much more narrow. THJ is great to see.

    LOVE what I’m seeing with JV and him and Jamal’s 2 man game has been awesome too. Curious to see if we’d ever play JV and Jokic at the same time.

    He's just being a dick. They need an ass-whipping.

    Oh I know he’s high off of a championship and arrogant about it and doesn’t see that Alex Caruso fouls everyone he guards while Christian Braun has some of the best lateral quickness on the perimeter in the NBA but gets called for every touch foul on SGA and Curry.

    I don't watch a lot of the other teams but I was surprised how thin the Nuggets were.  Past Jokic, AG, and Murray, it fell off fast.  There were guys on OKC who were the 8th or 9th guy that would have started for Denver.  Not sure what was going on but that's likely why the GM got fired.

    Disagree on the starting. We like Braun plenty. A healthy MPJ wouldn’t have been replaced by an 8 or 9th roster guy on OKC.

    Either way, glad we’re back boys.

    Which games last year?

    Believe it or not, the Denver series worried me more than the Pacers.  Denver was the only team I thought OKC could play their best against and still lose.  Jalen Williams played for shit, though.  He was much better in the other series.

    Yeap, Nuggets played OKC the best of all teams and that was with no bench and a one armed MPJ and a Jamal Murray that was partying/gambling at Blackhawk late into the night during the series.

    Many Nuggets players seemed to work harder this offseason. Murray actually showed up in shape this year.  AG’s performance in G1 wasn’t a fluke. Dude worked hard this offseason.

    I take it back looking at my expired stubs I went to all Nuggets home games in the OKC series: 3, 4, and 6. Forgot I bought tickets to the other game we didn’t have rights for pre-public offering.

    I don't know who "we" are but the only team in a series is probably Denver, because Jokic is a load and they hade some good off season moves.  OKC has more depth than anyone and it's not that close.  Their top 3 are as good as anyone else's but guys like Ajay Mitchell would be the starting PG on some of these other teams.

    I’m a Nuggets half season ticket holder. Was at the game 5 of the finals clinching game against the Heat and 2 of the series games with OKC last year.

    The LA teams aren't winning shit. I hesitate with the Ws because of how old they are. 

    I’m not gonna disagree with you here but it’s early and the Clips played really well down the stretch last year and were a tough out for the Nuggets. Clips are more likely than the Lakers for me, but I would expect them all to be in the playoffs.

    OKC, Denver, and Houston are the early favorites.  People love to hate on the Luka trade but I agree with you about Kyrie.  If him and AD are ever healthy at the same time (lulz), they might be #1.  Spurs might be a year away.  Houston needs a guard.

    Yeah but I mean with Dallas you have Flagg plus Kyrie (when back) and AD. Luka and Flagg with the bigs Dallas had would have also been a great team.
