Everyone blows the pressure free throws its bs
I’m so upset fuck. The subway commute tomorrow is going to be obnoxious
Mikal Bridges you are on my shit list now for choking the Clippers game and for that horror free throw show.
Idk if its a promotion thing going on. But I can view any LP game right now for free. And have been able to all week lol
Holy shit Mikal Bridges is not him, can’t even hit 2 ft’s
Not big enough game for Murray to try.
Team definitely did not care about beating New York lmao, this is a big ole nothing burger. Team wants to come out and kick 76ers ass. 10th day of a road trip they want to go home
I was stressed about going to this game for over a month. Trying to see if prices would fall below $150. Trying to convince different friend groups to come… Oof… Sometimes God gives by taking things away from you 🙏🏾
Hey Nuggets, you have a chance to grab first seed!
Nuggets:

Munder!!!
But not the good one.
I know i posted this in game thread, but can we fall to no.4 in western conference or no?
Well this game was a big poke in the eye
Glad Jamal stepped up for us.
Tomorrow is duckmas eve!!!!!
Well, I hope they got that out of their system.
As New York people say: “FOGETTABOUTIT!”
Are we allergic to the 1 seed or something?

When I stepped outside during my lunch it smelled so fucking awful like dog food. That should have been an obvious sign that the Nuggets would lose.
What the fuck was this loss😂
I count this as good wrestling practice for the playoffs. Better to experience this now than in the playoffs. I don’t know if I’m the only Denver fan who thinks that Malone gave up on Zeke too early and pushed him to a totally unnatural position, making him “unplayable”. Our players are tired, we’ve literally been playing almost playoff rotation for quite a few games now.
Malone has to realize that we’re only halfway through the season. He will drain our starting line up before the playoffs. Not related just to this game– we have to get someone else into the rotation, we can’t play with only those players the rest of the way 🙄
when was the last time nugs lost by this much
Good thing I got drunk tonight. It happens tho, Jokic got fuckin blinded and Knicks have had a decent season
I’m a chronic positivity merchant. Here are my takes: og is pretty good, Brunson is pretty good. Nuggs are gonna beat the sixers at home.
At least the Sixthers lost, eh?
gonna lose our next three too damn, philly milwaukee and okc are all easy losses
Mal + physical defense = bad time
Coloradan living in NYC, I was at the game. WOOF. That was painful
Murray
How many pick swaps does Denver have to trade?
Attach all of those to nnaji and Braun
Missed the game. Is jokic ok? Can’t find shit about after the eye poke
Entering the season, Murray-Reggie-CB-Watson-Zeke/DJ is not the best 2nd unit we could do. No, it’s the best Malone can do. And all it’s doing is tiring out our 2nd most important player, who has the ball in his hands as much as he does, can’t afford to tire out. So me personally I’m tempering my expectations until Malone focus on putting a better bench together WITHOUT Jamal
braun is timid bc he’s insecure about the pubes glued to his face ffs just shave
brunson played like he had something to prove ab being snubbed as an all star starter. jamal took a different approach (diarrhea-ing up and down the floor)
mpj is moving around like his back is hurt again
would lowkey like to see some minutes w jokic, colin, and pwat together
Denver gave that game to NY with Scott foster. Such a boring game that it’s kinda disrespectful to Spike Lee and John Turturro.
Bad game all around. These games happen in the regular season. So far we have played the most or almost the most games of anyone in the NBA its the end of a long road trip playing every other day. The team just couldn’t get it going today it happens not the end of the world. Long season to go still plus a little bit of a nicer schedule going forward maybe not in terms of teams we play but not nearly as many back to backs and we have more home games we will be ok. We do need to figure out some consistency though. MPJ has to many games where he disappears on offense same with KCP and even Gordon. That is what made Brown so great for us last year if one of our starters was wallowing he could plug in and fill the void. I know we most likely aren’t making any moves at the deadline but we need a spark somehow some way.
