    I wonder who Doris Burke wanted to win this game

  2. ergonelsa

    Doris trying to stay impartial challenge (impossible)

  3. 2holesinbutt666

    Dorris is insufferable. Fucking Karen crying whining motherfather

  4. TopOfTheKey

    A double lane violation in 2024 during the Celtics-Nuggets game. NBA Refs are in their bag.

  5. mF-Jonezy

    The confidence of Jaylen Brown to brick 2 clutch free throws and then immediately shoot a 3 after the Celtics get the rebound

  6. ManyCookies

    38 minutes from Jokic, Celtics got him using 50% of his full power

  7. The Jamal-Jokic two man game is a thing of beauty. What a game.

  8. kaostriker04

    NO MORE JAMAL SLANDER JAMAL FOR ALL FIRST TEAM NBA

  9. riptide123

    Denver’s defense in important games is very very good

  10. That jump ball call after Jokic baited the Cs into a lane violation was some nasty work lol

  11. Oh51Melly

    Rare to see a player punished for the smart play in the clutch like that. Jump ball is crazy

  12. StarksTrey

    My favourite part of the game was when Doris screamed no when a call went against the Celtics

  13. Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe spoke this loss into existence

  14. International-Chef33

    Lot of season left but damn. Play team ball at the end of game.

  15. NBAperspective

    The Nuggets went super serious playoffs mode this game

    All the starters with 36 minutes plus, seven man rotation and using less of their terrible bench.

  16. Datboy_98

    The Nuggets just have that confidence. Been there and done that.

  17. DayTrader3334

    Jokic with the classic 4 FTA, yea he is going ballistic in the playoffs again LOLDude is unreal, and Jamal reminded us what he did last playoffs.

  18. Balls_of_Adamanthium

    Man I love and miss 102-100 type of final scores. And it’s not like the best players didn’t show up. I like watching hard fought playoffs-like games. 140-137 games shootouts are so boring to watch and it feels like every game has an all star game final score now.

  19. Murray and Jokic a combined 69-20-14 on 67/45/86 percentage

  20. I know it gets said over and over again but it’s incredible to see how bad Jokic’s whistle is

  21. Thai-Reidj

    I honestly think this was a finals preview. Reigning Champs vs #1 in the east

  22. jacobythefirst

    Locked in Denver > any team in the nba in 7 games.

    They’re disgustingly good when Murray is on and locked in.

  23. Juan_of_the_Dead

    Tough one. Both teams played great. Boston actually protected the ball and got a lot of offensive boards but just couldn’t hit the big shots they needed even when they were wide open and on second/third/fourth/fifth attempts. Meanwhile Denver was a little sloppy at times but when it came down to it Jamal and Jokic hit some tough shots and that was the difference. 

  24. Doncicthefuturegoat

    Denver defense in the clutch was fucking nice, like I’ve just watch Jokic on an island vs Jrue.

    The C’s are fucking scary, like Porzi is catching the ball and he is trying to take a three and you could see, everyone shaking.

    Jokic/Murray duo are gonna be the weirdest duo to rank in all-time ranking.

    And yeah JOKIC is a top 3 offensive player of all time.

  25. AlonsoCaGi

    I have to say, for all the slack he gets in the regular season, Jokic shutting down the Celtics play after the jumpball was some amazing defense.

  26. LACIRCA2044

    Being a Nuggets fan during this Jokic period is like being a 5 and marrying a super model. Like you have to thank god everyday
