The Nuggets have their eyes on a bigger prize…😊
That did suck though…ugh!
If they are holding up The Larry O'Brien at the end, who will care about this preseason game?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah media loves the headlines, Nuggets got blown out by Celtics. Of course they didn’t mentioned only 2 true starters, Jokic & Murray played for 15 mins. But man the 3 point shot is gonna be the end of us because it takes less physical effort than taking it to the paint.
Blue Boys
Jahmir shoudl get more minutes.
His size will not help him but he can make jumpers
Best intro ever!
i kinda feel sorry for Boogey. This is probably 3rd 4th time in the last 10 days that people forget how good he was for our bench, and mention usually Plumlee, in this case IHart
Scary how performance fluctuates with or without them
It’s always the corner guy running in to snatch the long rebound. If they could just box out or put a man on that guy instead of three guys jumping for the rebound. It always looks so stupid.
I will never understand why people spoil something that is perfect? The coach should hug Jokic AG MPG and Dzamal and who will be fifth as if it matters….
Denver is wasting joker's prime. Same story for Giannis.
Denver 0-2
Two words: DENVER NUGGETS 💪🏽
Joker need to demand a trade. Head some where he can get more rings. One in Denver is good enough. Time to head to a big boy market now.
Jamal is kind of annoying.. i can see Nuggets fire Malone at the end of season, and then trade Murray after next tbh..
Tyson will be a pleasant surprise. Great chemistry with core. He did miss 2 open 3s yesterday that he needs to make, but he also set up Murray for 2 open 3s that were missed. I see him getting 13-17 mpg and scoring 8-10 ppg just on 3s and playing off Russ. And his rebounding is a needed trait for this team.
Celtics are repeating, and easily at that. They’re so much better than everyone else
First round exit this year mark my words 😀 Free Jok
Duo name: Black Moors of Denver
Celtics 🏆 🥇
Duo name: Wet blankets.
Ayo Dosunmo is a stud. I think the Bulls want to tank, but idk if they wanna give away their young talent. Maybe with enough draft comp, they might be persuaded to take one of the nuggets bad players, if tanking is their goal 😂
The main thing we need to understand is that PWAT has to do the things you say he can't. That's what growth is about. So let's see what happens…👍🏿
Why does it feel like you’re screaming sometimes? Gotta fix that
Boston also had everyone and starters played more minutes. Of course they won
