Ok, forget everything I have said or written about the Nuggets over the past month. The Denver Nuggets win the NBA Championship this year. Did you see the game against the Boston Celtics tonight? How can anyone dought them now? They played flawless tonight, do not worry about those little 17 turnovers, they won right? I’m talking about one of the greatest defensive games of the year.
I mean up by 19 points in the second half, and win the game by 4. With that kind of defense, the rest of the west should just be happy with second place. In fact, they did keep one of the best scoring teams in the NBA under 100 points. That has been one of the better habits they have had this year. And Jokic did get another triple-double with a respectable 18-16-10. Not to take the game over performance but anytime you can mess around and get a triple-double, it is a positive for sure.
Murray has come alive in the role of a leader and each game you see him leading and putting right where they should be. Look I could tell you about his 82 points and how he had like ever assist the team dished out, but I will tell you he has more than shown he has what it takes to lead the team.
The Dominance
In the span of one week, the Nuggets have taken down two of the hottest teams in the NBA. And in absolute domination. They beat the Rockets on Wednesday and held the all might free throw king James Harden to a measly 27-7-7. Yes, I said measly, that is where we are. He has been averaging near 40 points a game and to keep him to 27, that’s a good day. And according to clutch points, Harden believes they were just lucky. By all means, we will go with that one.
Taking down two of the bigger fish in the NBA waters should bolt them right up there on the monarchy stage with King James. Whom, by the way, will bring in his no bench getting just by Lakers Dec 3rd. The Lakers better come correct as this team is not to be treated lightly no more. No more, the Nuggets are not for real comments. No more ESPN LAKER NETWORK ignoring the Nuggets as they dismiss all rivals!
Look I’m not saying they are the MJ’s Bulls of the ’90s, not yet anyway. What I am saying is that they are the best team in the NBA. I know some will say, ” Hey, be careful, it is only 13 games into the season.” Hogwash I say to that. Like When you see a dynasty in the making you let all know about it, right? What could go wrong there? Nothing as in my mind the Denver Nuggets win NBA championship.
