This is not meant to be an anti nuggets post. More about how ridiculous Jokic is. If Jokic was out for the year due to injury how many wins would the Nuggets get? I feel like Jokic is worth like an additional 20 wins.

Let’s take the other 3 teams of Vegas top 4 title contenders

Boston: Take out Tatum and they are for sure making the playoffs

Milwaukee: Now that they have Dame I think they would for sure make the playoffs if Giannis was out for the year.

Phoenix: Whether it’s KD or Booker, if only one of them is out they should definitely still make the playoffs.

Good thing for Denver is Jokic is built like a horse

    They would be if you just replace Jok with a serviceable center. Gordon at the 5 is fine for stretches but you can’t go the whole season like that, and they don’t have any genuine backup 5 rn.

    I say bring back Plumdog and they’re a playoffs team.
