Have the Nuggets FINALLY figured it out? that Jamal Murray is their best player? I hope so. They need to keep running their offense through him. He should be option 1.Last edited by The Great One; Sun Aug 30, 2020, 11:25 PM.Mamba Mentality

Murray and Mitchell have put on one of the best back and forth scoring dominate 7 game series since Iverson and vince and the media is talking about the clips lakers and luka. Doncic was awesome but murray has had a better postseason and may end up stealing this seriesTo be the champs you got to beat the champs

Yep. FVV and OG as starting wings is not a long-term solution for a legit championship contender, especially in this high scoring era. At this point, our best "scoring wing" is arguably Powell. This group earned the right to defend the title, but if we crash & burn in 4 or 5 to the Celtics, we could see some major roster changes.
We need a lead scorer which Pascal is not now and maybe never will be, but OG isn't the problem. Heck, even Pascal isn't the problem, he's a terrific second option if you have a true superstar for him to play with. Masai does need to get that lead guy though.

I haven't read the game thread from last night, so I'm sure I've missed a lot of discussion. However OG not being one of our long-term wings seems like an over reaction to getting blown out in a big game. OG is an excellent primary defender against multiple positions. Every contender needs that.

I could see a future where Lowry retires, FVV moves to PG and that opens up a spot at SG. But right now, we just don't have enough dependable scoring in the starting lineup, especially with Gasol becoming a complete non-factor on offense. For now, we're basically going to look like the Rockets where we are hot from 3 one night and cold another night. We don't have that reliable mid-range assassin like Kawhi to keep us in games when the 3-pt shooting goes cold for long stretches.
Nurse is going to have coach his ass off to get us through this round and put our guys into much better positions to score in a variety of ways that the C**tics aren't expecting. They look like they're well prepared and we don't have the advantage of home-court, which is usually their kryptonite.

If we crash and burn against the Celtics, don't hold your breath for major roster changes immediately. The plan is and always has been for the play for a major roster change to come in summer 2021.

PF is essentially a nonexistent spot now. The 2-4 spots are your wings, and Pascal is our scoring wing right now. Whether he's good enough or will ever be good enough to be that top guy on a real deep playoffs contender we will have to see. But the logic is to have a primary scoring wing, a secondary scorer/shooter and then a 3+D in those slots. Right now we have a pretty solid set of Pascal as primary, Fred as a secondary and OG as your 3+D. All with upside to grow in those roles still.

I can totally agree with OG as a prototypical 3 & D, but Pascal & Fred as your offensive Batman & Robin isn't exactly 'solid' for a legit contender.
