When is the last time we seen a team whose best player is 6’1 win a championship? Zeke in 1990?

3-5 since Jokic came back but were 10-6 when he was gone but the Jokic groupies said the Nuggets would be a lottery team without him. And when they’re eliminated in late April what tired excuse are y’all gonna give Jokic then?

February 20, 2026 at 7:55 pm
Jokic needs to play much better than he has these past 3-4 games. Way too many turnovers and four baiting. Not to mention he can’t hit a three point shot right now either. Once he cleans up his play, gets his 3pt shot stroke back, reduces the turnovers, stops making dumb attempts to draw fouls, and his teammates get healthy again, then the nuggets will be dangerous again.

ESPN wants to any anywhere other then OKC in June and July last year they made a huge deal about okc needing experience and now they say the spurs and pistons can win it all
The nuggets are by biggest worry

It’s crazy how when they talk about Denver they always bring injuries up. But when they talk about OKC they rarely mention how heavily injured they been all season, missing multiple starters and major role players. Instead they bash them and say they fell off, championship hungover blablabla. They are just haters! Perk is the only one to bring up injuries and it’s ironic because the Thunder is one of the most injured teams in the league and they are still one in the west.
