  • Bruce Brown’s versatile skills contributed to the Nuggets’ success
  • D’Angelo Russell praises Brown’s unpredictable and problem-solving abilities
  • Russell expects the Nuggets to be in trouble after losing Bruce Brown

The Indiana Pacers made a significant move in the NBA free agency by agreeing to a 2-year, $45 million deal with Bruce Brown. But this move had a major impact on the Nuggets, as they lost a key piece from their championship roster. 

Brown was a significant factor in the Nuggets’ success during their championship-winning season, showcasing his versatility and skills on both ends of the court.

D’Angelo Russell, the Los Angeles Lakers guard, believes that the Denver Nuggets will feel the impact of losing Bruce Brown. Throughout the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Nuggets, Brown and Russell engaged in a back-and-forth battle. 

Despite the rivalry brewing between the two teams, Russell acknowledged Brown’s importance to the Nuggets and his ability to make a difference on the court. Brown’s contributions as a consistent shooter, ball handler, and defender made him a valuable asset to the Nuggets. 

Brown averaged 11.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game and played a massive role against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. In a recent episode of ‘The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone‘, Russell talked about the importance of Brown to the Nuggets:

“Losing Bruce Brown hurt them, losing Bruce Brown hurt them though.”

“Bruce Brown is like unpredictable bro. He could go 3-of-5 from the 3, play point guard, get you in the bonus, shoot 10-12 free throws. He’s just a problem, I think. I think any team that wants and appreciates him, he’s only going to get better, respect.”

The loss of Brown leaves a void in the Nuggets’ roster, but they are still considered early favorites heading into the upcoming season as defending champions. It remains to be seen how the Nuggets will adjust to Brown’s absence and whether someone can step up to fill the gap. (32:44)


The Nuggets And Lakers Are On A Collison Course 

The 2022-2023 NBA season witnessed an exhilarating clash between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. In a stunning turn of events, the Nuggets swept the Lakers, securing their ticket to the NBA Finals, where they ultimately clinched their first-ever championship. The dynamic duo of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray proved to be an unstoppable force.

For the Los Angeles Lakers, the Western Conference Finals sweep at the hands of the Nuggets served as a wake-up call. LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Lakers are determined to reclaim their position atop the Western Conference. Hungry for revenge and eager to add more championship rings to their legacy, the Lakers made excellent moves to bolster their roster.

The Nuggets and Lakers are on a collision course, fueled by their past encounter and the desire for supremacy in the Western Conference. As the two titans gear up for another showdown, basketball enthusiasts worldwide eagerly await the electrifying clash between these basketball powerhouses.

The path to the Western Conference Finals promises to be filled with excitement, intensity, and drama that only the NBA playoffs can deliver.
