    I like it when vlatko shoots over 50% of his 3s

  2. Puzzled_Jury4982

    I bet a dollar on a dumb same game parlay and that MPJ assist with two minutes left won me $30. I can see how people can think too much of themselves and lose tons of money. Luckily, for me, being right is worth more than all the money in the world.

  3. Weekly_Joke_9708

    Only positivity merchants thought we would this one fr

  4. itsnotthattypeofmovi

    I need the answer to the biggest question of the night did that kid win a pair of shoes

  5. Puzzled_Jury4982

    How could the rim be flat if the world isn’t?

  6. XAfricaSaltX

    Jokic: 30/12/12 on 73% shooting

    Tatum: 25/7/6 on 44% shooting

    Levels

    Brother our bench killed it tonight, finally! We love to see it, whenever bench plays well we are guaranteed winners.

    Idk who to vote for best bench player. Vlatko, Bones, CB all fucking amazing.

  8. joenriquez

    Great decision to hold out Jamal for a division rival. Nuggets trusting the process have paid off and they are just so good in dealing with adversity. Let him go wild tomorrow against the timberpups!

  9. Bradleys_Chubb

    This whole time I wasn’t hearing right, they’re not chanting MVP, they’re chanting MVB – Most Valuable Bostonian.

  10. AndoArugula

    Brown/Braun duo goes kinda hard, I hope they throw the kitchen sink at Bruce after this season to try keep him

  11. swordfischh

    Nice to see Gordon going 5-6 from the line. We need him to hit those in the playoffs

  12. FernBlueEyes

    I think the Be Loud strategy might have helped. 🙂

  13. Superbotto

    Remember to vote for Gordon for the All Star Game today!!

  14. AlaskaFishGuy

    Its crazy how Jokic has 30/12/12 on 73% shooting against the #1 team in the NBA and it just feels routine. We are so spoiled

  15. BartonOwnsMalone

    Travel then b2b tomorrow at Wolves. They’re struggling but road games are always hard.

  16. _absofuckinglutely

    Game thread was waaayy to positive. Wtf is happening to this “sub”. I’m unsubscribing until we lose a game and the real basketball talk can begin.

  17. Weekly_Joke_9708

    I really liked that bench unit Malone threw out there. Looked amazing tonight. Hope we get some more chances at seeing it again in the future.

  18. n0t_malstroem

    Nuggets coming off a signature win? Wolves coming off a players only meeting? SEGABABA? TRAP GAME ALERT

  19. imanadultok

    It was a great game for anyone wearing a nuggets logo. Except for the maintenance crew.

  20. No-Departure7801

    9-1 when DAJ doesn’t play with most of our best wins

  21. imanadultok

    Our three-point percentage has really going down since the heat game.
