Biggest storylines of the season
Everyone is focused on the returns of Kawhi Leonard and Klay Thompson and how they’ll impact the title picture but I’d say Jamal Murray coming back from his ACL injury will quite literally decide who takes who the chip.
Back-to-back 40-PT games for @BeMore27!

In the bubble, Murray dropped 50 points TWICE in one series against the Utah Jazz. First time in NBA history and it was this Canadian with the busted knees. If Utah is the favorite out of the West, just cross them off if they have to play against Murray and the Nuggets.
Key Players
Jamal Murray: I accidentally already discussed Murray too much so see above. If you skipped that part, I was saying that he is good at basketball.
Nikola Jokic: The reigning MVP. Those words say enough.
Michael Porter Jr: The city of Denver not having a mandatory vaccine mandate is going to save the Nuggets season. Hopefully, he won’t be too distracted from the court while he’s ‘doing his own research’.
Aaron Gordon: It’s crazy that the Orlando Magic tried to make Aaron Gordon their star and now he’s the 4th scoring option on the Nuggets fitting in perfectly. Please send the Magic to the G-League or to China or some shit.
Jeff Green: the secret weapon.
How the Nuggets can win the title
*whispers* Denver is going to win the championship shh.
