After the Nuggets lost to the Thunder one-sidedly, the team also ended this season. For the Nuggets, this season is actually a good opportunity. It’s a pity that the team’s management is ineffective, and the Nuggets players have suffered a lot of injuries in the later stage, which has affected the pace of the game. So what are the updates worth paying attention to after the Nuggets lose this game? After the Nuggets lost, Jokic officially confirmed that Murray gave the reverse answer, and the two players had the option of player.

In fact, in the current league, everyone has a chance, because no team can complete the success of winning consecutive championships, let alone three consecutive championships. So everyone has seen that many teams are making great signings, but in fact they are just trying. On the other hand, the Nuggets will not add to the lineup, but they will have to break up the championship lineup. I can only say that this is a waste of resources and a waste of Jokic's peak period, and it is not a waste once or twice. It is also a pity to think about it.

Jokic, as the core of the team, talked about a lot of things after being eliminated this season. When asked whether the Nuggets can still win the championship, Jokic also officially confirmed his attitude, that is, he thought he could not do it. It’s not that Jokic is discouraged, he really can’t help him. This season, the Nuggets have to say that they can have one or two good substitutes, and now the Nuggets are the ones who enter the Western Conference Finals, which has been revealed in the playoffs. As another core of the team, Murray was also asked after the game whether this lineup could win the championship again, Murray gave the opposite answer with Jokic, that is, he was 100% confident. In fact, the player Murray is not lacking in strength, but his performance is a bit unstable. Take the tiebreak for example, Murray only scored 13 points and 2 assists. Of course, it is a good thing for Murray to be confident, but the management still needs to strengthen it.

For some players, after this game, their time in the Nuggets is over. However, there are two people in the Nuggets who have player options, namely Saric and Westbrook. Saric has a weak presence in the Nuggets, and considering this situation, it is expected that Saric will be very likely to execute the player option. As for Westbrook, the value of the playoffs is still played. Let’s see if he keeps the Nuggets and whether he will go to other teams.

In general, the Nuggets this season have missed a great opportunity. Sometimes it is also helpless. The management needs to implement the team owner's decision and can only do some subtraction. Of course, Jokic also followed the wrong team. If there were bosses like Ballmer, Jokic would not have only one championship. Let’s see if we can make some changes in the offseason, so don’t waste Jokic’s peak period.
