    Also I honestly can’t wait for the series to end lol this shit has been too emotionally taxing 😅

  2. Night-Menace

    The last time I saw someone suck this much is when I watched a different video with Jamal starring

  3. Sizzle2121

    Coach Malone at the end of the press conference when asked what their experience is like in game 7s – “Well, our experience is pretty positive, so I’ll leave it at that. Do your homework.” Ok, this got me hyped. First bit of fire I saw from anyone on the team tonight.

  4. Night-Menace

    I blame BigHoneyBot for being drunk in the GDT and confusing Jamal with the series score

  5. dardrpa22

    Again with the horrible, awful shooting. Diffense was slopy from time to time and Min punished every mistake. On D they just doubled Jok and let everyone else take shots. First quarter stretch killed us. After that nerves were gone. Murray is bothered with leg strain but he wants to shoot himself from slump. couple of days rest is going to help him. Would be nice if we could finished this series in 6. Ah well on to game 7. It is going to be anybodies for taking. bring your AAA game Nuggies. Somehow you respond better when draged through the mud, pressure and imanent demise than praise. GO Nuggets

  6. boydivision30

    Ok I’m good now just disappointed with the starters and Moach for letting go of the rope so early. Just don’t be ass and we are all good. Nuggets in 7!

  7. whatareyoudoingred

    The extra day off should be good. We’ll see what happens.

  8. Night-Menace

    I don’t kink shame, but Nuggets need to stop edging!

    There’s kids watching on and off the court. Ant barely hit puberty ffs!

  9. Likeabalrog

    Hard to be upbeat about things. 2 games like this in one series might be the sign of a greater problem. Lack of hustle and effort top to bottom is really concerning.

    I think MPJ is mentally not there right now. Maybe family stress finally caught up to him . Whatever it is, he doesn’t earn the start in game 7.

    I don’t know why jokic was so passive, and why they were so afraid go in the paint even for rebounds as a whole. Jamal needs to figure it out sooner that his jumper ain’t working some nights, and he needs to contribute in other ways.

    In the last 5 years we’ve seen this team be huge underdogs and come back from 3-1 down, to being huge front runners last year, and now we see them struggling to maintain success. It sure has been an adventure.

  10. ThaBrofessor

    Next season Jamal is on a contract year and is going to make about 36 million, Luka for comparison will make about 40 million. If Jamal has similar production next year, how much would you think is a fair contract to resign him?

  11. Night-Menace

    Everyone knows dogs have a heightened sense of smell

    We really stunk up the place but it wasn’t enough

    For game 7 I say Malone should eat some Mexican food and start ripping!

    That’ll show them the fart of the champion!

  12. Fuck. I was wrong. Nuggets in 7 it is.. I’m petrified though

  13. ImGonnaChubbBradley

    You know if I’m going to bet on the Wolves I might as well also bet on Murray sucking ass

  14. lifemustbebalance

    Im always thinking positive about DN, but if this one goes sideways better pick and benches that have depth. This offseason is the start for us. But Im still claiming back to back because AG is a dawg

  15. Game 7 is a coinflip. Every single game has been a blowout lol

  16. MPJ and Jamal have to be 10x better next game. Or else it’s absolutely over

  17. JJgriddyonU

    Murray goes from absolute HOF to G Leaguer. Absolutely insane levels of play by him all playoffs

  18. LegendOfTooget

    Wolves win 2 road games, Nuggets win 2 road games. Nuggets win a home game, Wolves win a home game. The Nuggets win game 7, Wolves cannot afford!!!

  19. gaveDroll

    For a 7 game series this has to be one of the least competitive of all time in terms of game quality.

  20. yesihaveasweettooth

    Doomer tonight: we need a rebuild

    Doomer tonight if we won: this dynasty could last through the 2030’s!

  21. lonelinessmademecave

    Praying that SAS picks the wolves for G7. The man never fails to be wrong

  22. Bleppingheckk

    Okay would you rather take a 7 game series with trading blowouts or develop a heart problem by game 7

  23. YungFung1001

    Thank fuck there’s a 3 day break lmfao, that’s been good for us and bad for the wolves for whatever reason

  24. _Lucifer7699_

    WTF happened. Just now woke up, the stat line looks ABYSMAL

  25. Training_Tangerine34

    Need to hit open shots and clean up the defensive glass.

  26. lonelinessmademecave

    I’m expecting a good Murray game for G7 tbh

  27. Totally embarrassing show out tonight. I guess the silver lining is Nugs still win in 7 tho.

  28. lonelinessmademecave

    Update. I’m now hyper confident in a good Murray game for g7.

  29. How is Murray so 50-50 when it comes to playing well or not. Stars are not suppose to be streaky

  30. FivePointsPlay

    Holy shit. Just heard a rumor that Nugget legend Eduardo Najera will be in the building for Game 7.

    Nuggets by a million

  31. Night-Menace

    Nuggets before the Spongebob shoe reveal – 3:0 in last 3 games

    Nuggets after the Spongebob shoe reveal 0:1

    Coincidence?

  32. Apart-Cucumber-7090

    KAT guarding Jokic with Rudy roaming shouldn’t be working this well it’s the Rui/AD and PJ Tucker/Embiid thing again but at a completely different level

    We can make fun of them having to take Gobert off of Jokic but it’s helping their defense and transition offense and ultimately has proven to be a winning formula for them

    There has to be an adjustment we can make to that

  33. hotgrease

    Well, at least I’ll be able to get some stuff done this weekend and not just watch Nuggets stuff online.

  34. Subject-Lab6998

    I am really scared G7 comes out to be at 11am on Sunday. Hope the game is in the afternoon.

  35. YungFung1001

    Despite the onslaught of texts I got (people hate the nuggets I guess), I’m not as bothered as I thought id be by this loss

  36. ImGonnaChubbBradley

    The Murray top 20 player in the league talks that were happening at the beginning of the year are so fucking dead
