The Nuggets were already a tough team as they have a 2021 MVP Candidate in Nikola Jokic as well as many other great players on their roster, but after their recent acquisition of Aaron Gordon this team has been playing rejuvenated and inspired basketball as of late and it seems like their recent pickup has what it takes to put them over the edge into the title contender conversation. Not only did the Denver Nuggets win last night and Aaron Gordon played great in the Nuggets 119-109 win over Aaron Gordon’s former team the Orlando Magic, but the Nuggets starting lineup has been playing tremendous ever since they made the trade for Aaron Gordon. This Nuggets starting 5 has outscored their opponents by a wide margin when their on the floor together and they have been the best 5 man lineup in the entire NBA ever since they made the trade for Gordon. This lineup has had the highest offensive rating, defensive rating and net rating of any 5 man group in the league over this stretch. They have truly been the best 5 man lineup in the entire NBA over the time span ever since they made this trade. However some of their bench players and non starters have dragged down the team in terms of stats in some areas as they are not a top 10 team in many regards including points per game over the stretch since they acquired Aaron Gordon as they come in at the 11th spot in that regard. The team also has shown many flaws as well including the fact that they’ve really struggled and been in the bottom half of the league in terms of the team’s Free Throw shooting and and turnovers committed as of late. However, the team has absolutely dominated defensive since they’ve made the trade for Aaron Gordon as well as rebound the ball tremendously, and so great that they’re leading the league in rebounds over this stretch. So this Denver Nuggets has so much potential but the team of course does have their own flaws that if they do in fact clean up on a bit they can definitely cause issues for other teams and maybe even become a legit contender to win the Western Conference in the 2021 Playoffs, and today we’re going to breakdowns exactly how and why they can in fact do that in the 2021 NBA Playoffs TAGS: Why The Denver Nuggets Are OFFICIALLY Top Contenders,Aaron Gordon highlights Denver Nuggets,Are The Denver Nuggets Legit Contenders? | Through The Wire Podcast,These Are THE EASIEST POINTS In The NBA,The Conspiracy Against Nikola Jokic, Nikola Jokic 2021 NBA MVP, Why The Aaron Gordon to Denver Nuggets Trade Could CHANGE EVERYTHING, Denver Nuggets 2021 NBA Champions, Denver Nuggets realistic rebuild!, AARON GORDON NUGGETS REBUILD!
