Braun and Watson are such a good pair. Both of them are relentless.
The way this team can just go on runs is so fun to watch
Christian Braun is the best white player in the NBA
Well that 4th quarter didn’t go the way I want but it’s fun to think that tomorrow is the 6th year anniversary of the game that caused the play in tournament and tonight we played for the 1st seed. Hope we see you in the playoffs Nuggets fans.
I know it’s Joker but still didn’t expect the DPOY front runner to get cooked like that.
We lost to the best team in the league with the best player in the league without our second best player
we’re first round exits confirmed
Completely took over at the end with those dunks.
Avs eliminate the Wild from playoff contention last night, Nuggets yoink the 1 seed from the Wolves tonight
State of Colorado is Minnesota father
Do not want to see the Wolves with KAT in the conference finals
Inject 7 games of this into my veins
Christian Braun
Presenting to you the sequel to Nikola Jokic’s critically acclaimed “Brother I have 47”, “Brother I have 41 on 4 missed shots”
Malone just figured out who to trust in the playoffs lol
PWat and CB. Reggie is still meh
PEYTON SWATSON
40-point games against Wemby and Gobert?
Jokic hates French centers confirmed.
That little Luka for MVP surge was cute
Jokic 3rd MVP is going to be so deserved. Him doing this vs Gobert is insane
Those dunks by Braun were demoralizing
THE WEST RUNS THROUGH DENVER ONCE AGAIN
I love nuggets basketball and I love the wolves. Not sure why our fan bases have decided to hate eachother but tonight was a great game. Excited to possibly see a healthy rematch in the playoffs. Best of luck y’all.
Just couldn’t hang at the end. This game was over with ~6 min left. There was absolutely zero energy left from us and we were just giving them the ball and free buckets which ended up in them pulling away.
Best player on Earth letting everyone know, just in case they forgot
“I got him I got him”
“brotha I have 41 11 7”
Peyton SWATson with 6 BLKs tonight!
Petition to get Bob Meyers to never call a game again.
What a game
That stretch of dunks in the fourth quarter was so amazing
Jokic is inevitable.
That Nnaji corner three in garbage time was the only three Denver attempted all fourth quarter 😂
Thus the mvp race ends with a bang
I love that Peyton Watson approaches every opportunity to dunk the ball as if the rim has personally insulted the integrity of everyone in the Watson family tree.
CLUTCH NET RATING (Under 5:00, within 5) IN 2023-24
Denver: +25.5
Minnesota: -14.0
Hydrogen bomb vs. coughing baby
41 points on 80% shooting against a really good defense is God like
This feels more like revenge for the 2017 Game 82 than last year’s playoffs did. And honestly, fair. Would have been nice to win, but if we’re going to lose to anybody, Nuggets are a good option. Nice season dudes, hope we meet again in the playoffs!
Just smashed my 8K, curve TV in front of over 30 guests at my soirée because of the Timberwolves performance tonight.
My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the night at a hotel. This team has ruined my life and my party.
I can’t do this any longer. Goodbye.
Welp I made a promise to myself that I’d say something nice about the nuggets because of all the mean things I yelled about them at my TV during the game and I’ll go with just how is Jokic real. That was so fucking frustrating. I still think Rudy played well on defense and Jokic still just scores and then yawns and rumbles back on defense with those scratches on his arms.
