What makes Denver special is that they are a young team that plays like a veteran team. That doesn't mean they don't make mistakes you would see in a young team, but it does convince me that they can beat OKC in the playoffs. And remember, the Nuggets have already beaten OKC home AND away this season. Denver and Milwaukee are gonna be the next NBA juggernauts in the next couple seasons.

@igbokwenu4934 5 лет назад

stewie griffin I’m not saying they won’t be dangerous but teams WILL key in on Jokic! Okc Had joy until Noel fouled out and they began rotating Grant to Jokic! So the rematch with Denver in OKC will Be interesting because as a match up , if you steal a game in Denver they’re in trouble due to their record like Stephen A said. I think they’ll need a plan B as Jokic will run out of gas! I fancy us in a playoff series vs Denver I just think they’re an awkward team as their Centre is their point guard and that collapses most defences who don’t have time to adjust. Come playoff times teams will have enough film to throw different looks at Jokic which I don’t think he’ll handle well in the long run.

@cyrilg6189 5 лет назад

stewie griffin the Nuggets looks scary for OKC in a matchup because they just can’t beat the Denver. Okc really having a hard time for Utah too. What I’ve notice is that when Okc facing a team where there’s a dominant Center, they just can’t handle it.

If Michael Porter Jr becomes just 75% of what he was supposed to be, No doubt that will be a dynasty, if he isn’t, they’ll probably win a chip still, but it won’t be until Jokic and Murray reach their primes

@MrAVGNdude 5 лет назад

People are trying to compare the nuggets this year to the 2015 warriors when it's not even close lol Warrior bandwagon fans and warrior bandwagon haters don't realize that a lot went into GS winning that first chip. They didn't just win games and automatically got themselves a chip because of the turnaround. Steph and the warriors went thru playoffs upsets and gained experience over the years. The warriors missed the 2012 playoffs. They got a taste of playoff success for the first time in 2013 when they beat Denver (ironically). Then in 2014 they fell to the Clippers in the first round. Denver hasn't been relevant as a playoff team until this year. That inexperience will creep up on them this season but next year and for years to come, they're gonna be a problem fr.

A lot of people are saying that they aren’t built for the playoffs but I disagree big time. The fact that they work extremely well as a team makes them more dangerous than a team with one superstar to lead because of how versatile they would be.

There were couple of reasons why GSW were extra motivated and better in that game: - Nuggets won their previous match in Oracle Arena, so Warriors were seeking revenge. - Nuggets were No. 1 seed at that time and a win would make GS overtake them. - They were trying to send a message, because everyone was hyping up Denver upsetting GS. - Denver had couple injured players. - Whole GSW team was shooting lights out. I think they were 18/24 from field in 1st quarter, they scored 51 points (!?) If GS gets that hot in playoff series, not only Nuggets, but any team in the league is f**ked, but I don't think performance like that will ever happen again.

@Colby Martinez Rockets have always had the Nuggest number when Capela and Harden both play. Give me a game they both played where the outcome wasn't an L for Denver.

@@curburfosho Yes, true. I feel that Nuggets would have more chance beating GSW than Houston.

@curburfosho 5 лет назад

@@mbabuskov I'll respect your opinion but I don't agree. Rockets are the only team to 3-0 sweep the Warriors this year, and there's no other team that's won 6 out of the last 10 games played against them other than the Rockets. The Nuggets are a good team with a promising future if they hold onto these pieces, but it's still too early, it's not their year yet in my opinion.

The nuggets will fold like a cheap suit come playoff time. We see it every year with these young teams.

@eldio2124 5 лет назад

Shawn Kemp curry was like 27 and Thompson was 26. Plus the vets they had on the Bench. That team wasn’t young

@eldio2124 5 лет назад

Shawn Kemp actually you’re wrong also. Klay was 25 not 24. He’s 29 so four years ago he was 25. Draymond was 24 not 23. Do your research you clown. But either way, the warriors were not a young team, especially not compared to this nuggets team.
