That was unnecessarily stressful. Phew
Tied for 1st. Jok and Mal played like the playoffs started today. Reggie had a great stat line. Ben Taylor can suck my man juggs. Nuggets win!!
Jokic bail out Jamal who’s getting clamped late vs every decent POA guy
I’d trade Porter for Dejounte I don’t give a fuck
They can’t get the ball up the floor
What is Siakam good at? Had no idea he was playing until around 3rd q
I hope Ben Taylor’s gambling debts catch up to him
Good Road Win.
Not easy. It helps to have the best player on the planet.
First
The last game I get to watch before going into to treatment, and boy what a game! Thank you so much Joker! JOOOOKEEEERRR

Man we’re blessed to have Jokic! Madness.
This is done now let us support our Pacific Northwest comrades in their quest to vanquish the Thunder.
Ben Taylor did everything to gift the Pacers the win LMAO
Shout out Pacers DJ for playing the most Tay Tay I’ve heard in an NBA arena 🙂👍
I told you the reason there are two halves in basketball is so the Nuggets can win! NUGGGS WIN NUGGS WIIN!!!
Snakejakemonkey 53 posts i fortunately missed . Doomers got their fun
The casual dagger
I thought this might be shaping up to be a win-loss but in the end it was a win-win
Another dumbass game that we should’ve won easier than we did, but just had to make it interesting lmfao.
Maybe the Blazers can do something for us? 🙏
Pavers played hard as hell in the 4th.
So I don’t think we should have any trouble trading for Bruce, it doesn’t look like he even scored any points this game
I support the Denver Nuggets!!!!
Did they take another of jokic’s assists away again?? I only see 9 posted
Wow, Nikola Jokic? That fat tub of shit?
Has Jok missed a fucking 3 in his new kicks?
Payton Watson looked like a 2nd year Jaden McDaniels there. Future DPOY contender. He is already a good screen navigator despite being 6’9 which is insane.
Hol up…… we dem boys 🧐
Man, people who don’t watch Nuggets games are really missing out.
That’s what they get for doing Brucie dirty
Go in, take a dub, get out
You may be satisfied with that win, but I, a *real* fan, am not. I’m done with this team, see you guys tomorrow.
Jokic 3s are always gold shame he only shoots them with clock shot expiring came out clutch there.
And ref really did try to gift Pacers a win so many bad calls against Nuggets we had 2 successful challenges could have had 10 more if we could. Still big road W , 8 straight wins in Indiana .
He can’t keep getting away with it
Wow go Nuggets
Huge, huge win. Sipping the victory champagne.
Almost an implosion – Joker saved the day – need to tighten up on closing out games – let’s get the win in NY!
