someone is going to write an article 10 years from now about how the leonard/george clippers never did anything consequential on the floor but were also the biggest driver of changes off the floor so far this century.

yup, I heard that adam silver sits down every year with a pot of coffee, a calendar, and a sharpie and draws up the nba regular season schedule. it's a scandal, but what can you do?

This is partly why I will refuse to hear Nuggets comparisons for teams that donāt shoot 3ās.If your best player has over a 70% TS% inside the arc and generates shots for others at the rim at the highest rate in the league, yeah, you probably donāt need to lead the NBA in 3PA. https://t.co/BSVqu93OTz— NOLA Analytics (@NolaAnalytics) August 24, 2023

initial thoughts through three games: obviously the returns have been pretty uniformly positive. itās actually a pretty surreal feeling to look at the schedule and just feel like the team should win every game, something Iāve never experienced as a nuggets fan in 21 years watching the team. even stranger is the way everyone talks about them, the skepticism has almost completely evaporated across the spectrum from casual to national reporter. the tone reflecting on the win over the thunder yesterday is a perfect encapsulation of this: a lot of talk about how great the thunder look, how much potential they have, and almost an air of indifference to the fact that they lost by 28: you canāt really blame them, they were playing the nuggets, after all. just things you donāt usually hear
the starting lineup as expected has been fantastic: these guys can just read each otherās thoughts at this point. every jokic-based lineup is just murdering. most encouraging is that different combinations of 3- and 4-starter lineups have been more than holding their own, obviously a small sample so far but all the indicators look really good. michael porter has been playing on a bud ankle and is grabbing 11 rebounds a game.
the bench has been really, really encouraging. there is still no canāt-miss āfifth starterā type a la brucie B, but christian braun has been as good as one can hope so far given his experience level. he had 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and zero turnovers yesterday. peyton watson has shown real promise as a prospect, particularly defensively. if his decision-making and execution on offense can just be good enough, he gives the nuggets amazing defensive lineup flexibility with braun alongside KCP and aaron gordon. zeke nnaji and reggie jackson have also done more than enough so far to justify legitimate rotation minutes. and I still think julian strawther will emerge as a 8-10 min a game guy by the end of the year. dude can really stroke it
aside from interior rim protection thereās basically nothing this team doesnāt do well. they can defend/switch multiple positions while putting 5 shooters on the floor, theyāre bigger than anyone and completely dominate he glass (which makes up for their lack of rim protection), and most crucially they have utterly insane chemistry.
there doesnāt really seem like there is a team in the west who is anywhere near their level at the moment, but of course itās a long season and theyāre always a key injury away from being mortal. Iām just lucky to be a fan of this team at this moment, really seems like something organic and beautiful that comes along every 15-20 year or so

It's kind of reminiscent of when the Broncos first got good in the mid-70s.
Jon Keyworth - Make Those Miracles Happen
Of course, it took the Broncos a couple decades after that to actually win a championship.
