>>Clippers announcers seem pretty great. They get excited about both Nuggets and Clippers plays. Loved the little bit where they talked about Jokic’s love for horses as well

Ishmael Smith, YOU are Mr. Nugget!
Who wins: the Nuggets third string with Ish Smith
Or
The Utah Jazz
Bancherwho?
Watson and Braun going to fight for the ROTY
BHB’s vocab is elite
Victory!
Oh god Jack White getting put in a grave is everywhere already. RIP.
We winning the ship 🚢
Jack White is my favorite ded Nugg. Ish Smith is my favorite alive Nugg!
P Wat with some rookie mistakes but damn protecting that glass
Balanced scoring man from that boxscore
Oooo Nnaji with 8 rebounds?! Ok ok- that’s nice
Watched the last 5 mins and all I saw was Pwat being Scottie Pippen.
I know this is a unique take, but I really like Ish. Have a feeling he’s gonna see a lot more playing time than we originally thought
Remember when this sub was imploding after we drafted Watson
I’m going to be dreaming of those MPJ jumpers tn
Unrelated to us (good game boys), but there is no chance the Lakers win it this year, or people (besides lakers fans) are delusional enough to believe that. I’ve been seeing the videos on social media, and that team is not working lmao. The chemistry is not there. They’re going to blow up bad this season.
Thanks, Grant Golden.
I’m so glad Ish Smith is a Nugget. Always been a fan
What’s really a good sign is that in the 2nd half, our 2nd/3rd stringers like Braun and Watson were competitive against some of the Clippers’ main rotation players like Mann, Covington, and Powell.
Ish Smith, Nuggets saver!
[Goddamn!](https://videos.nba.com/nba/pbp/media/2022/10/12/0012200059/376/0ec102ed-cc43-4262-b8ab-112e25903611_1280x720.mp4)
Gotta say I was skeptic about Ish signing, it’s so refreshing to have a realistically 3rd unit PG have a selection of go to shots
Jokic really didn’t lead the team in any good stats, only in turnovers and tied for first in fouls. 0 percent on field goals? And mick melon keeps starting him? Firm melon and trade jokic for a 2056 2nd round pick
Can someone let me know how Jack White played besides getting absolutely yammed on?
Aussies have a tendency to get postered by always contesting, Aron Baynes had some monster jams on his head.
