I’m trying to figure out why isn’t he.

Big bruising physical guard who’s athletic and quick. Can shoot too

His game should be tailor made for the playoffs…
I just don’t think he’s that good. Regular season hides his flaws. Would be the perfect 3rd star though. Plenty of time to change that though.

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
I’ve watched the final seconds a grip already

On Chet’s second miss OKC didn’t even try to crash the boards

The miss even hit the floor

There seemed to be a moment of hesitation even among the Nuggets around who would grab it with Braun, Murray, and Russ appearing to be in range

Fortunately Braun grabbed and gave it to Russ and the rest his history

Small things make the biggest difference sometimes because if Murray or Russ grabbed that rebound or if OKC tried to crash the boards might have a different outcome

Chet/JDub are under surveillance. Weren't enough as 2nd and 3rd options against the Mavs in the 2nd round last year and shyt the bed last night.

At least Chet defends at a high level. Jdub is just not a 2 option at all.

Yea, Chet can for sure be a 3rd option on a title team. Basically a modern day Heatles Chris Bosh. He defended Jokic fairly well; not gonna stop him but a number of those rebounds Jokic got was him Moses Malone'ing his own misses. Chet was in foul trouble but Jokic also had 5 fouls and 7 turnovers.

Whereas with Jdub, there are times it feels like Lu Dort is more valuable. Obvously JDub is the better 1v1 and transition scorer but Dort has basically evolved into an elite 3&D 2-guard who is forced to play a weight class higher (SF, sometimes PF) to make room for JDub, and bc OKC never got a proper SF.

I told y'all earlier in this thread that OKC gotta be careful because if there's one team that could hinder them from getting to the WCF or Finals would be the Nuggets :yeshrug:.

I mentioned in that Nuggets × Clippers thread about why I can't stand Aaron Gordon's ass :martin: it's because he makes plays and shots he's not supposed to be making.

I can't stand Aaron Gordon's ass, this man be making shots he's not supposed to be making:martin:

I don't know why opposing players keep leaving him open knowing he's hitting these 3's and shyt. He's the reason why the Clippers lost two critical games in Game 1 and 4, which came back to haunt them because he makes clutch plays. It's time to start guarding him seriously, put a hand in his face or something.
