Been a fan since I was a wee lad in the AI days. This team has seen some dark days between then and now and being able to experience those ebbs and flows as a loyal fan feels like it’s finally coming to the epitome of everything I’ve spent years supporting. I’m so happy for this team and all of the serious supporters of this org. This is what fandom is all about. LET’S GO NUGGETS
Fire Malone???
Lol
Congrats Nuggets fans! You deserve it! Very interested to see the series stats of Jokic as the primary defender on Davis, thought he did a tremendous job
Espn showed all of Lebron post game. They showed Jamal responding to how he guarded Lebron then cut it off.. how is this real life?
AG still can’t believe they just swept the Lakers.
He’s just like us. 😉
Teensonacid giving $20 to DNVR superchatttt
I couldn’t sweep last night – Adam Mares 🫶
I read a comment in here earlier in the game that said “why can’t moach just let the team play through adversity instead of taking these timeouts every time the Lakers go on a run”.
All time doomer comment
Also props to the Nuggets, I don’t think I could make it another 3 games with that ESPN broadcast. Not even joking
What the fuck. Bron gets swept in wcf and we have to listen to his whole presser but Jamal who just won and locked the second best player ever down gets to talk for 30 seconds before they go back to talking about LeBron. Fuck u espn
Another great part about the Nuggets sweeping the Lakers is it for sure cut Draymond Green deep in the heart.
I was tearing up a bit, waited so long for this moment.
VIBES ARE IMMACULATE
Murray on how he defended Lebron on the last play (semi paraphrased):
“I remembered his left hand layup from a college game we reviewed. So I used that to give Gordan the time he needed to defend.”
THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE WHO ARE ON A TEAM DO.
So amazing.
Pumped the nugs won but man that finals hat is ugly.. Hope they get some other designs at the games
ESPN’s 9/11
Is there a mod on duty I can request a flair change to?
Just wanna say, my son was born the day after game 4 vs. the Suns. We haven’t lost since 😁 he’s watched the whole sweep on my chest 😄
If you want to watch Nuggets post-game interviews, they’re here https://www.youtube.com/live/ZEwoKvlexMA?feature=share
congratulations
Will Barton died for this
A pretty cool part of the game was when the Nuggets were down by 15 then you blink and they are up by 2.
AG on Jok and Mal as a duo: “… phew … those are bad boys right there …”
I’m dying
AD looks goofy as fuck
Congrats Denver. I’m a huge LeBron guy that lives in sacramento. When we lost Malone I was crushed. But watching you guys for a series nothing to say but the better team won. Jokic is just so phenomenal and handed it to AD. Congrats the rest of the way and go win the damn thing! You guys deserve all the praise and I know you won’t get it from espn or any other network! Good luck to you all
I thought that went well tbh. No other comments.
OUR KING IS HERE. FEED US, JOKER!
LFG
Nuggets sweep the Lakers. ESPN: “But what will the Lakers look like next season?”
Also say what you want man, but I gained respect for AD this series. Was just a defensive monster. He sold at times, but still very impressive
LETS GO BOYS!! THIS IS OUR YEAR
Special shout out to the Lakers fans that I told after the trade deadline that if Vando and Beas were the dudes that were going to save your season you are fucked, who then argued with me endlessly that they were the best ever. Don’t even play a minute in an elimination game.
Man, Joker being so humble about the MVP race and propping up Embiid. You can’t be more classy.
Nuggets sweep and Melo retires what a night
This team is 12-3 in the post season.
Gratz to the Nuggets. Hurts we gave away a game or two, but you were clearly the better team this season. Good luck in the finals.
