Probably true, but I wouldn't read too much into this game. Nuggets entire bench combined for 8 points (in 19 shots), 0 FTA, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Nnaji was -18 subbing for Jokic.

Well it was the normal hyperbole of the board. Some predicting them to be finals contenders in Rudy's first year, some predicting they'd be bottom of the lottery the entire time Rudy was there. Turns out those of us who predicted within a year or so they would be a tough team to beat and likely high seed in the playoffs were closer to right.

Eh, I was one of the haters who thought that KAT and gobert wouldn't work together and ant was overrated but I still thought worst case scenario was that they were a play in team. I dont think anyone, literally anyone, thought they would totally suck.

There were a couple of the normal contrarians. But yeah not many.
This is the best year for Minnesota to be good since we don’t own their pick. You could see them putting it together last year.
To the people saying the picks won’t amount to anything guess what… the very first one we got turned into Keyonte George.
They are going to be in salary cap hell next year. 170M combined to 6 players already on the books and Conley is a FA.
They are already going to be in the luxury tax and after filling out the roster will be pushing the super tax apron. Keeping Conley and Anderson or signing anyone else for that matter is going to get extremely expensive.
This is their best shot this year and should do whatever they can to maximize it because it’s about to get sweaty going forward.

Dont be facetious, you know what we mean. Yes, you can draft 30th and still get a good player, but these arent going to be gold mine picks for as long as Edwards is on that team.

Burks with 16 points on 7 seven shots with 4 assists and zero turnovers in his return to action.
2027 and 2029 is quite some time away. One thing is if Ant is there, but he also has to stay healthy, and they need to keep quality around him. I'm not all that hopeful for that '25 pick, but the next ones are anyone's guess.
