Rims have taken a real beating over this last week
DNVR with the level lollllll
Nah fr tho the number of shooters this team got now with KCP and Bruce in the fold and cashing 3s rly does become a pick your poison offense when things are clicking
I’m having a lot of fun recently watching this team
Guess the Nugs just shoot 50% from 3 now forever
Another level joke.
No wonder the rims are crooked, the Nuggets have been a top 3 team in dunks per game all year long.
Makes me happy that in every post game thread on r/nba there is some homer saying jokic is good.
Is this your #1 defensive team? – Nuggets
I don’t feel like firing Malone tonight
MPJ hustling hard on defense. At the start of the season he looked so lost in defense. But now hes doing everything
These top defense teams are losing to a Jokic-led defense team. The math isn’t mathing!!!
Are we still firing Malone or were we jumping the gun per usual around here?
How is our drtg 120 tonight. That doesn’t FEEL right. And, lol, 92 against the clips.
With 10-17 shooting tonight, Jokic extends streak to 30 consecutive games shooting 50%+
Feels amazing having the best player on the entire planet on your team
Nuggets are 18-8 against +.500 teams :O
Jokic is on a different level
This team is so fun to watch.
Fake win needed crooked rims.
Deandre Jordan played so well
Jamal and DJ both with DPOG chains!
Btw maybe our defense went down (somehow), but with this game, we’re tied with Celtics for 1st best offense ITL. So that’s hype.
Dude whaaattt we’re now tied with the Celtics for 1st in offense ?!?! L👏🏽F 👏🏽 G
Posting the Nuggets player rating survey again: https://forms.gle/mVVw7aTJomJAs5XJ7
KCP
I love this team
– MVP & fuck voting fatigue
– Best player in the world
– Best passer in history (sorry Magic)
– Best offensive player in history (sorry MJ)
