FUCK YEAH NUGGETS

When the big serb is that good, Denver is unbeatable. The best basketball player I’ve ever seen.
Loved CBs activity running in transition all night. Big 3 as well in the 4th. Also I told you guys KCP would get some shots to fall! Finally had some hits from the corner and the midrange, great hands as always all night
Remember when Denver was down 0-2 and all kinds of randoms on Twitter tried to argue Jokic was a glorified Andrea Bargnani?
https://i.redd.it/yc5mc4qaxi0d1.gif
Man Jokic was truly incredible. I still can’t believe that we get to watch this man night in and night out. Big shoutout to AG, CB and KCP for incredible games to. Now let’s get the series on thursday. Let’s fucking goooooooo
Slo-mo only -4 in 16 minutes. Greatly improved game from him.
I doubted the nuggets and I apologize
feels a lot like the 2020 Jazz series
On to the next one
3 in a row
Jokic man… we’re living through history.
Shout out KAT for keeping the munder
NUGGS IN 6!!! SHAQ is in shambles seeing Jokic dominate
Aunt Edwards after game 4: “KEEP TALKING, WE LOVE IT, I LOVE IT”
Looked like Kat was limping off the floor at the end of the game. That might be another injury Wolves have to deal with under short rest.
I don’t wanna hear shit about the reffing. TWolves got just as bad a whistle as the Nuggets.
We are not worthy to have the GOAT on our team
Holy shit did this team fully deactivate Ant this game
Another great AG game
Joy! Munder! JOKIC!!!!!!
Was that Vinny Castilla walking behind Murray on Altitude?
Ngl Murray flurry happening in garbage time was pretty funny
Is it just me or should Jamal take more 3s, I feel like I saw him turn down 2-3 solid looks and it’s been happening a lot
https://i.redd.it/u30skw80yi0d1.gif
Jokic 16pts in 4th quarter of game 4, 16 pts in game 5 in 3rd quarter . Just MVP things
62 in the paint my goodness
The Nuggets weren’t content just practicing how to overcome a double digit deficit against the Lakers.
They wanted to practice overcoming an 0-2 deficit on the road.
https://i.redd.it/sg206ym4yi0d1.gif
unbelievable game from jokic tonight. wow
This was a rad game that never felt in doubt after the run in the 3rd, and I genuinely feel sorry for game thread folks who are clinically unable to sit back and enjoy greatness as it’s happening.
I think Ant looks gassed. He’s playing 44-45 minutes every game running their entire offense and trying to lock up Jamal.
https://i.redd.it/yf971r08yi0d1.gif
Murray stealing the ball from ant is picture fucking perfect after last game and his puppy barks. Dudes a front running bitch fuck the wolves
Team has completely flipped the script since game 2.
What an mvp performance
I stated in the game thread but if you weren’t convinced how good of a coach Malone is after leading the team to back-to-back 1-3 comebacks in the bubble, this series should solidify it for you now. The way he adjusted and got the team mentality back into the series after the devastating lost of game 2 cannot be praised enough.

Monte when he sees that 13:0 assist-to-TO ratio

Also, after all the talk of “surely Gordon won’t turn into prime Kobe again”, that turnaround jumper to ice the game before Jok’s 3 was fucking hilarious.
Love seeing our MVP do MVP type things, love those points in the paint numbers from the whole team
I genuinely believe Jokic doesn’t hate any player but he hates Rudy Gobert
Last 3 games were a beatdown. Fckin beatdown. Against the team that was built supposedly to destroy us.
Looks like Dray really enjoyed Gobert getting cooked.
what a great way to spend a tuesday night
