    That’s a depressing ending lmao

  2. boyharsher-

    I want to root for KAT, but it’s just embarrassing how useless he was down the stretch there

  5. abris33

    Booth vs Connelly. We’ve been begging for defensive wings for years, Booth goes out and gets Brown and KCP, then gets their replacements in Braun and Watson (who looked so solid to end the season).

    Braun and MPJ were the highlight of this game for me. Just constantly attacking and finishing strong at the rim

  6. BigDaddyJuno

    I feel so bad for Wolves fans. Everything was looking up for them finally and then Connelly set them back a decade.

  7. YeezyYeezyUp2NoGood

    This Nuggets team ain’t fuckin around. Keep sleeping on em

  9. Leonnis

    Braun layups unblockable or what? I get it tho, I wouldn’t be blockin him round the rim either ya feel me 🥵🥵

  10. otiso_niloc

    Need a pulse check on the Minnesota crowd

  11. GRIIIFFIIIIIITH

    Minnesota fans chanting refs you suck is PEAK irony

  12. Poverty_Shoes

    Nuggets outscored the Wolves by 30 on field goals. I’m choosing to count this as a blowout.

  13. TravisGurley

    What an even distribution of points for the Nuggets.

  14. Andy_Wiggins

    Osama Tim Laden is a basketball terrorist

  15. 177676ers

    Jokic casually dominated the game

    KAT is so disappointing

    Ant is gonna be a superstar, no doubt about it.

  16. shanmustafa

    i watch Jokic and it feels like most of his post ups he does a great of making sure his man gets hit with screens, he sets them up well, and that’s why his post ups are like 6ft out instead of 12ft out

    having a C like Jokic with his shooting and passing is so insane lmao like you really have other bigs tryna fight over screens almost every possession because of him, and guards tryna hedge and recover

  17. Drunken_Vike

    Being sloppy as fuck at every facet like the Wolves are just stands out so bad against a team as polished as Denver

  18. Dr_Fabulous11

    man it’s gonna be so embarrassing for the nuggets when they blow a 3-0 lead to the fucking timberwolves

  19. horse_renoir13

    Well…this sucks but Denver is very fucking good lol

  20. pweepish

    Jokic putting up a triple double with no FTs as a center is just goofy.

  21. itsnotyellowfever

    The impact Jokic had down the stretch at this game despite taking *1* shot in the final 6 minutes of this game is unbelievable

  22. BubbieMcSnuggles

    Zach Zarba was HIM tonight ‼️‼️🔥🔥

  24. PaleoclassicalPants

    Imagine almost losing by double digits when you have a 35-13 FT disparity.

    lmao

  25. ImGonnaChubbBradley

    Aye yo pass the brooms Philly

  26. sixseven89

    can’t tell if Wolves suck or we’re legit

  27. mxnoob983

    Love Kyle Anderson but he has no business being out there alongside the twin towers lineups. Absolutely zero space for Conley and Edwards to work

  30. KangorKodos

    That right there is ethical hoops from Jokic. 0 free throws

  31. bfg24

    35 FTs against 13 and still couldn’t snag the win, Nuggets just too good

  32. Clerithifa

    Sad part is Rudy was the reason it was competitive tonight, he played pretty well tbh

  33. IRanOutOf_Names

    I know Minnesota isn’t exactly the Kings, but the Denver defense looks kinda nice. More active, and showing that the length and speed of the players can offset some of Jokic’s weaknesses.

  34. MatticInYoAttic

    GG.. Jamal Murray is nasty. I feel like I wouldn’t even be nervous if he was on my team. Dude makes so many tough shots.

  35. altruisticdisaster

    Wolves are actually trying and Denver’s players look like they’re taking turns sleepwalking through the games. Tough

  37. KingAndQueenClinton

    Jokic 0 free throws lol. sad that you have to flop like Embiid to get calls

  38. Powerful-Ride-3728

    Does jokic still stat pad perk???????
