It was actually pretty cool to hear Bob Myers thoughts on our team/Jokic
I hate how we just gave up and quit playing when we were down 14 with 12 seconds to go in a preseason game
Amida Brimah flairs when
“Balls” said the Queen, “and if I had two I would be king “

I’m a bit worried about our bench PG and PF/C positions tbh. Strawther and Braun are probably the only dudes I trust as of today on the bench and one of them has not played a single NBA minute. We’ll see what happens, in Moach we trust.
Can’t believe I stayed up for the whole game.
I loved seeing the bench guys showcased tonight before the starters do a more formal dress-rehearsal in the next preseason game!
I’m sorry, y’all. I missed the first half of the game finishing up binging that House of Usher y’all have been talking about.That shit was awesome, btw.
Nuggets media whining about a game where Denver is missing their top 6 players..is something lol.
Hype first half, second half brought expectations fully back to reality. Not really sure what you take away from a game like this. I think Malone is likely going to be big on the staggered rotations this season at least until we figure out where chemistry even is
Something about zeke leaves me flaccid idk hope he balls this year tho
Unserious organization. Fake team. No grit. Malone.
In case you missed it, Boof was on the broadcast and explicitly said the quotes in KOC’s piece were off the record.
I don’t think vets played with full force given that’s it’s pre-season. Also we played full backup lineups which is never going to happen. Decent showing from Strawther and Zeke.
Takeaways from this preseason so far:
– Jamal as a high end playmaker is here to stay
– CB and Reggie are probably locks for the
rotation
– I’d assume we’d just go with some combo of Strawther/Holiday/Watson/Nnaji/DJ depending on matchups/injuries
Turn it in we are done for season. Trade Wilson and Sutton and Surtain Ii
Nikola didn’t get a single fucking point. #NOT MY MVP.
Last year we didn’t have too many of our G-league guys signed to training camp contracts. The only person I remember is Grant Golden. Is this a new trend/practice this year?
also u/BroncoSquatch totally jinxed Strawther cause he’s a jerk.
>I bet Strawther goes for like 11 points on 3-for-14 shooting tonight because nugg life is not dead
Pwat with the big ole -20 in 32 minutes, lookin rough for booths boy
It’s another WEEK until the seasons starts 😩
