I AM SO DONE WITH THIS UNSERIOUS TEAM
KCP + MPJ averages nearly 27 points, so Nuggets really only lost by 2. So there’s that.
I wish Peyton Watson never threw the pass at the end of the first. Iāll live in the reality that we would have lost by 20 instead of
On a b2b + missing 2 starters, as usual in sac.
Give us the kings in the playoffs and I’m dead serious. Gentleman sweep.
I continue to believe having no depth on the roster is suboptimal.
Mike Brown looks so much like Arthur
Put respect on MPJ’s (and KCP’s, I guess) name. That is all. Onto the next!
Yuck š¤¢, but it be like that sometimes, looks like I picked a good game to miss the majority of lol
Only two more back to backs the rest of the season and one of them is a home-home back to back.
Why do we keep getting the Kings on a SEGABABA? Bright side, they’ll be on a SEGABABA for one of the Nuggs home games.
The in season season is over.
Glad I barely watched this shit
The nuggets
Knew it would be rough especially on a b2b. Oh well I guess weāll have to slap the bucks around. GG sac fans.
Set that game film on fire. There’s nothing positive to glean from it.
I AM HERE TO FREAK THE FUCK OUT!!!
Please, just start the fucking All Star Break already…
Watching games like these fucking sucks. I guess it’s the downside of the team knowing they have nothing to prove. And I know in the grand scheme of things saving themselves on the second night of a back to back is the right choice, but as a fan it blows knowing they won’t show up and try as hard as they would have a couple of years ago. Might as well have rested the entire starting lineup. Regular season really means nothing anymore.
Schedule loss go next
I blame maelstrom’s ban for this loss
B2B left for the season: 3
Jokic still only a minus 7 damn
Strawther now shooting 316 from 3 on year lolz
Man real sickos watched this game lmao

This is the first time the jinx hasnāt worked in over a week
Ryan Blackburn meltdown on Twitter lmao.
Are people really taking anything from this game? Only thing to take is Fox cooks Murray, which if youāve been watching weāve known for years.
Abysmal turnovers + opponent shooting almost 60% from field and we have this. No one was able to fill in for the offensive and defensive hole that MPJ and KCP left, but the whole team was playing sloppy tonight too.
I didn’t know Sabonis was tied for TD’s with Jokic before tonight. Too many Sombors i guess this year.
In more relevant news than this game:
Saw a post on twitter referencing welcome to the black parade and instantly had to put it on.Ā
It sounds phenomenal on deezer lossless, one of the songs I can hear the difference most with.Ā
Excited for the big game tonight
These B2Bs are killer
If only Hunter Tyson could have played..
Welp looks like I picked a v good game to miss tonight lol
Road B2B vs that team Iāll let some of yāall give some more reactionary and emotional takes on tonightās game to me itās just flush it and move on honestly thought they were gonna split this B2B anyway
Since we’re 6-4 in the 2nd night of b2bs, it was less fatigue but more the missing personnel. No KCP for Fox, and no noted “Sacramento Strangler” MPJ.
Ryan Blackburn sometimes acts like english is not his native language. Using brutal words as doesn’t know their meaning . If tone down his wording a bit he would be so much more likable and easier to digest. I’m eager to like him as a Nugets fan but he reminds on Mark Kiszla too much with nis negativity.
I started watching Ted instead of finishing the game. I love that movie
Man, I want to pretend I’m chill with this result knowing the schedule and the injuries ahead of time
But fuck man, every loss ruins my fucking day. I know the bench is 90% rookies but I wish they were already battle tested stars or even just already competent and serviceable night in and night out.
Too tired to Doom! Someone else do it for me please
Didnāt watch the game cause was at a show, but I do know thisā¦this oneās on Malone. SMH my head.
I was loud and proud but that was rough. I miss KCP. Hope next season we donāt get them away on the second night of a b2b. Glad I at least got to see Jamal this season.
The whole momentum changed with Julian accidentally hip checked Jokics thigh
