My original post said, "Bad teams Don't make the playoffs" but let me recant. 10 out of the Nuggets 20 losses have come to non-playoff teams. The GREAT teams, even though they may not get up for every team, still win those games and can even load Manage if they wanted. The Nuggets aren't great yet which is why their ceiling is the Conference Finals
But I agree, that uninspired ball they play BECAUSE they have a fucking UNINSPIRED "Leader/Superstar" in Jokic. Dude just puts up numbers and the team goes as he goes. Like @largebillsonlyplease said, Can't win with him as your best player. I defended Joker but I'm done. Sick of these niggas man. The shit they say after losing to the bad teams annoys me cuz it ain't like they're Championship bound against the good teams either. They can play with anybody but they can also be beat by anybody. And Malone is an awful fucking coach. Nigga can't coach with a lead in an individual game or even a series lead. Trash.
I'm going to sit back and hope these niggas get it together and show why I have had so much confidence in them. So I'll either be watching them thrive or go out like some bitches. We'll see.
Three of those players might not even be in the NBA next year.
