    He shot half of our free throws , we aint winning this without him beeing this locked in

  2. blewrb

    Nuggets come in waves. Nikola, Jamal, and MPJ are deadly offensive weapons. Then you get Bruce and Christian both with runs that kept the Wolves from gaining ground, and it’s just too much for the 8 seed.

  3. Braun_Nuggz316

    Nice Minutes by CB Tinight was able to grow our lead back to 10 with the shots he hit love that for therookie

  4. Spirited-Praline1094

    Didn’t feel like MPJ took that many shots- but most on the team. He needs to take it to the rim even more next game to start.

  5. DocterOcto

    This is all I wanted for my birthday.

  6. Bradleys_Chubb

    35 Tree Corgi free throws to Jokic 0 lol. I don’t ever want to hear about Ant or the wolves not getting calls or a whistle ever again.

  8. pisss

    Malone praising his long leash on rookies so they can learn. Love the decision but not his m.o. hahaha

  9. bearsquadz

    Have to say both Jamal and MPJ have been stepping up on defense. Hope it holds up against the Suns, its going to be a much harder task guarding them

  10. porkadachop

    Jokic 9-13 with KAT and Gooby hanging all over him. Maybe his wrist is okay.

  11. seekingViper

    So who’s guarding KD next series?

  12. trevstan1

    This team is cooking. Not even full throttle on the gas. Well done Moach. Your vision is finally on full show.

  13. kdeselms

    Big props to Christian Braun tonight, he was a sparkplug and he was giving Conley and the other guards major issues on D. He made a couple rookie mistakes but MORE than made up for it. Also ups to Gordon who is out there pounding on KAT all night long and keeping him contained.

  14. LegendOfTooget

    Didn’t even play our best game and it felt like we were always in control

  15. number15ismyfather

    I know we said it in G3 too (bc it was true) but give MPJ his flowers he’s starting to rly progress with becoming a legit 3-level scorer in this league had some clutch defensive plays as well and his rebounding continues to be a big plus you can just see the work he’s put in and the team-first attitude that he’s shown all year start to rly show and it’s genuinely rly great to see

  16. petarisawesomeo

    I drank 1 voodoo ranger fruit force during the game. That shit is dangerous

  18. AlaskaFishGuy

    MPJ is legit, watching his development over the past few years is awesome. AG50 is also insane, dialed in his free throws lately, makes a couple big shots, and locks down whoever he goes against. Also props to Malone, game management and rotations have been on point.

  19. InsertWhittyPhrase

    We need the Clips to take one more game. I don’t really care who comes out of their series, but I want it to go to 6 or 7 so Nuggets get an opportunity for rest. Coming out with a punch in the mouth because they’ve practiced a game plan and have fresh legs would be perfect for our momentum

  21. stickied

    Just a rock solid game from everyone, in a game that minny absolutely had to have. Jok with his usual triple double, MPJ hitting big shots and getting in the paint, Murray doing Murray things and creating shots for himself, Gordon hitting free throws, KCP hitting his open shots, Braun getting on breaks and cutting to the right spots, uncle jeff attempting to posterize gobert. And no one had even close to a subpar game. Love it

    Great showing and professionalism. This teams gonna have a long playoff run.

  22. Spirited-Praline1094

    God I can’t wait for an MPJ 40 point postseason game…

  24. Keyboard_smashgood

    I would just like to say that this team means business. I’ve haven’t seen a team so focused ever. I’m jacked to the tits! 13 more

  25. Daelon24

    This game is a textbook example on how dissect drop coverage and zone defense. Unreal offense from Denver.

  27. Orod23

    The reporter that kept asking “you guys didn’t need to win being up 2-0” 🤦🏻‍♂️. Everyone kept responding like dumbfounded
