    Current mood: pissed off about the nuggets

    Been a while since I’ve felt that.

  2. Dydono_

    Y’all we did it. We got that elusive L. Can’t believe we were able to accomplish that!

  3. UndisclosedLocation5

    It’s a great moral victory!

  4. jydedication

    pissed of in general. Nuggs lost and people who made lunch plans are a full hour late

  5. JokicOrBust

    Bad game. It happens. I was looking at our schedule we have a home back 2 back again. This schedule is messed up. We will be playing the most games in the league by Sunday. 6-1 has nice ring to it though. Let’s beat Dallas in the in-season tournament

  6. dspencil

    If we kept Facu Campazzo we woulda won probably

    Real question, did bighoneybot die last season?

  9. Betaateb

    27-6 in non-tech FTs and Wolves fans were still crying about the refs till the end of the game. They are the absolute GOATS of whiny fanbases.

  10. finn_odalih

    It’s been 5 months since our last moral victory, glad we finally got one, can’t have the lakers hoarding them all.

  11. _absofuckinglutely

    Wolves wanted this like we wanted the Lakers. They dominated. Onto the next one.

  12. finn_odalih

    I blame Jok and Mal not wearing costumes on the plane for the loss, tbh.

  13. trujillone

    Love that MPJ has found ways to impact the game other than scoring lately, but holy shit his shot has been dog shit since like the lakers series…

  14. ApplesAndToothpicks

    We are 30th in FTA and 29th in FT% in the league.

    Also 25th in rebounding as a team.

    Some stuff to work on, but the refs absolutely do not respect us.

    * We were way overdue for a loss, honestly, we got away with sleepwalking a couple times already, Wolves came out swinging. It was ogre about 6 minutes in, even though we closed the gap a bit at times

    * I don’t blame the lads for being low-energy, I wouldn’t feel like living either if I had to spend any amount of time in the hell on Earth that is Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota in general.

    * Jok is mega coasting for the most part of this season, I think some of it is conditioning, but it also feels like he’s just going through the motions until the game is on the line. Sadly, the game wasn’t on the line

    * Zeke is still pretty rough on offense, bro missed a 3 by like 4 feet, and a dunk. Locked cat the fuck up tho, I loved him on defense. Genuinely encouraged, as I felt like this is a gaping hole in our roster coming into the season. As long as he stays healthy, so far he’s shown he can contribute in the yoffs

    * Cat is the funniest mf alive. Sorry ass mf

    * Mal couldn’t make a shot in the first half to save his life. It’s not even that he was taking insanely tough ones, or that he was guarded supremely well, just bounced the wrong way. I think there may be something to him trying to play both ends of the floor, I feel like he’s notably better on defense so far this season, and/or that he’s trying to playmake more than usually. I like McDaniels, but I didn’t feel like Mal was affected at all, although I’m sure some mutts fans are gonna make a case for it because of the horrendous splits. Tbf tho, Klask said at half time that Mal was bothered by length, so what do I know. But then again bro is like a 90% FT shooter, and he bricked those too

    * Shoutout Taliban Tim for paying his 2nd and 3rd best center like 90 million dollars (US)

    * Mike got kind of swallowed up, and AG wasn’t feasting against their pretty huge frontcourt. But then again, if Mal and Jok are not fucking around, the defense would be more spread out, and the hot dudes would have better looks

    * Refs were weird as fuck. Some calls definitely went our way, but they just called weird shit both ways. We didn’t lose the game because of them, but 19 points discrepancy on FTs killed us

    * Nuggs missed a lot of pretty great looks for 3. I think all Jok’s bricks were way short

    * KCP is such a menace, I love how hard he always plays. You can see teams go for much safer and slower passes as the game goes on because of how good he is in the passing lanes

    * Jokic should learn to scream whenever someone touches him, apparently it works wonders

    * Bench keeps looking pretty ok. Reid and SloMo are really good on offense, and got the best of them for the most part, but I thought the defensive process was great. I think I like regi not touching the ball that much on offense. The bench seems to be struggling mightily to score without Mal out there. I like how Strawther is playing, but I hope he won’t be another Markus Howard – a 3pt specialist that may or may not have ever made a 3pt attempt for the Nuggets

    * I’m probably significantly higher on Gobert than most around here, but that may have actually been THE worst trade in NBA history, holy shit

    * Could’ve probably just said we went 5/28 for 3 before garbage time lol

    5th game in 8 nights with a b2b coming up. Huge fan of how stacked our schedule is with all these projected playoffs teams in the West, and then we have like 4 fucking days of rest before the Rockets.

  16. YoungTheGiant_

    3 games in 4 nights with lots of travel. It was a stinker on to the next one.

  17. MambaMentality15

    5th game in 8 nights, with lots of travel in between. No surprise the fellas had no legs out of the gate. Don’t think anyone should look deeper into the game than that. Excited to see if the in season tournament games bring some extra energy. Go Nuggs!

  18. redwagon76

    Didn’t watch. Only read this sub’s comments. Burn this team down. Fire Malone out of a cannon. Send jokic out to pasture.

  19. LonePeasant

    Yup the team ain’t serious 4-78 here we come

  20. N00BSGONNADIE

    Terrible games happen we’ll be just fine. Little extra motivation for the NBA tourney game friday.

  21. NikolaGoatic15

    Bulls fucking suck holy fuck, how did this team come back against Raptors, Luka getting carried in this one hes having a stinker

  22. TheOrthodoxPolock

    If CB could just get a halfway decent 3pt shot it’d be wraps, he’s finding ways to score still and I appreciate that but teams are starting to sag way off of him which mucks it up for everyone else.

  23. overjoyedsnorlax

    Utterly forgettable game. Still 4-1, they just gotta clean some shit up

  24. torerodrizzle

    You know what, I’m generally encouraged by the bench tonight. The starters were freaking awful, and you kind of knew one of these was coming at some point, but the bench was generally pretty good.

  25. WeirdRedBeard

    u/underratednightmare, wya, hick ass hoe?

  26. WeirdRedBeard

    Bulls, please be this shit against us too

  27. Lonely_Anteater447

    At least the Lakers are losing

  28. 132joker

    My problem is my whole family is from Minnesota. So I gotta go a whole week hearing shit from them.

  29. WeirdRedBeard

    Would be nice if Kyrie was out against us

  30. TheOrthodoxPolock

    member when u/Glove_upset wanted to fast forward the day to watch that game

  31. The_Aught

    Well i guess we can try to win 82 next year… fuck

  32. Savahoodie

    Nuggets 81-1 this season let’s fucking go!
