Duvalier Johnson

I think I remember.

It was only like 360-something.

So this was actually even crazier.

So my reasoning for this number, one, it was 5-5-5, but I had three kind of reasonings for why I thought this was possible, at least.

The first one was, as you previously mentioned, Tim Hardaway Jr.

I was really high on the Tim signing in the offseason.

But I even undersold how amazing he would be this season, honestly.

The second reason was I expected growth from some of the bench players like P. Watt and Julian and Pickett.

I thought they would get a little bit more run.

I thought they would improve.

I thought Julian was always a better shooter than what his stats were saying.

And P. Watt, going into the year, I thought would make a point and try to really assert himself.

The third reason was... I think on paper, a lot of people would agree that this would be Jokic's best roster in the Jokic era.

I think that was a pretty common sentiment.

So my third reason was...

Maybe the Nuggets just blow out a whole bunch of teams.

Oh, I like this.

And we just get like five minutes of garbage time.

And you know what people love doing in garbage time?

Jacking up threes.
