I mean, it’s not a crazy thing to say. AG does a lot for their defense and is a great scorer in his own right. Murray is better on offense, but is also a defensive liability if we’re being honest

Don’t get me wrong AG is an important piece (his defence has fallen off tho), but Murray is the only guy on the roster than can pass, dribble and shoot. He’s also been by far the best shooter in the league this season.

Easily the 2nd most important piece, arguably the most important cos Jokic is always gonna Jokic, you need Murray to be at an all nba level if you’re going to win a chip.

Including playoffs

Tonight was the 579th game of Jamal Murray’s career where he attempted at least 10 field goals

And it is tied with a March 2021 win at Memphis for Murray’s worst FG% (7.1) in those 579 games.

Underrated thing from tonight that’s going overlooked because of how terrible Murray was: how many pivotal plays did Denver make that resulted in Christian Braun being forced to do something on offense and it going absolutely horrendous

Bengals8958 | Wizards

Brauns regressions is crazy to witness. One of the worst offensive guards in the league. Spencer jones is more important than Braun for the nuggets moving forward

He had a severe ankle injury on November 10, tore a bunch of ligaments. Came back for 3 games in January and wasn’t right so took more time to rehab and came back again on the 4th of Feb.

He essentially missed 3 months from the injury and is absolutely going to be rusty and take time to get back to form. Ligaments are finicky. Wouldn’t be surprised if his ankle isn’t 100% again till next season.

Hopefully he can round back into form for the playoffs. Want to see Denver at full strength for them.

Considering it was just a few games, he was also ass before getting injured in November, while some other starting 5 were missing time

No-Independence-761

He’s just not good lol. He feasted in the regular season last year cos we were playing a lot faster -> more fast break opportunities. You put him in the half court and he’s always been horrible.

The worst primary POA defender out of any winning team in the West (couple that with Jokic rim protection), can’t dribble and can’t do anything offensively except run and dunk. That contract was the nail in the coffin of the Nuggets ever winning another chip in the Jokic era.

greenwhitehell

Their clutch record without Jokic was insanely good this year, that’s what’s skewing your perception probably. Think it was like 8-2.

Imo that, plus their great clutch-history just makes me think that this is all negative variance, and that Denver is better than their record shows. But of course if this holds on in the playoffs they’re getting 1st rounded lol

RadioCross

they padded some wins against tanking teams when Jokic was out, I think they were 8-2 in clutch games with him out lol.

A couple of those wins were a result of the worst refereeing we’ve seen all year, the rockets and Jazz game were gifted to the nuggets by the refs. Go back and look at those postgame threads and see for yourself. The truth is jokic just isn’t good in clutch situations, game 7s or tight games, he tires and fades quickly on offense and gets hunted relentlessly on defense.

The Nuggets average 120 points per game. They scored 118 points this game in regulation. They basically performed like they normally do.

Wouldn’t they actually be performing better than normally? Jamal shot ¹⁄₁₄ from the field for 7%. Even if he shot at 21%, the Nuggets could’ve won.
