Damn jose alvarado is the real deal.
Nuggets blew a 20 point lead AGAIN! How many times has this happened this season?
Is Mike Malone back to his old, predictable rotations? Get a lead while Jokic is on & then blow that lead as soon as Jokic subs off!
Pels play-by-play with that "reading a book" level energy
Completely different game when Jokic is playing, then previous game, everyone working together passing the ball to each other.
Nuggets team,lwz be a compitator'team all they can do is there cnsstency&Hardwork team effort..
New Orleans's sixteen TOs cost them this game. Denver only turned the ball over twelve times. That was the difference in the game
With no Ingram and Zion, the Pels are still tough to beat!
This was Jokic's 14th triple double this season; Nuggets are 14-0 during these games!
This was also his 4th triple-double in row & 6th in the last 7 games played.
Nuggets offense is good, but their defense…
Seems like everyone wants to play the Nuggets hard, seems like every game has all been nail biters for the past month. Go nuggets a win is a win.
Nba don't want Jokic to be MVP again but they cant stop Jokic getting his 3rd MVP.
Pelican's commentary is easily the worst in the league. My god LOL
Nuggets play like a team all the time now. Making NBA worth watching again.
This was a bad Game for Denver.
So the MV3 had to come in the clutch…
I like Larry Nance Jr. When is his contract up? I can see him fill the Jeff Green role. He's like a Gordon lite.
jokic is low key clutch. Second game winner this month
Love ❤️ my Nuggets. MPJ in our prayers 🕊️✝️♥️
Nice to see Christian Braun # 0 play. Jayhawks fan.
J Murr has thee best okey-doke moves in NBA right now
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
How bout Jose Alvarado huh 👏 almost willed his team to a W. Goes to show you that energy is contagious and rallies the troops. Good win grinded out for Denver
CJ playing hero ball. he doesn't have clutch genes, Can't wait for BI to come back they lacking Closer. GG tho, Jokic is the real deal, He'll get another MVP this season
Any word on when Ingram returning?
CJ playing like he by himself Powerful Pelicans must play team ball.
last play on the inbound shouldve played to Willy Hernangomez for the ez 2
Yout would think that a professional announcer would know Christian Brauns name is
Pronounced Brown.
Nuggets either completely blow out teams, or they make it come down to the wire. I'm almost starting to think those close games might even just be by design so the Nuggets won't get bored, like when you play against your kid using only your non dominant hand. Unfortunately they allowed too much leeway last game and broke their streak.
Nuggets fan but damn pelicans where are the fans in the stands
Jokic plays basketball the right way although the nuggets rely too much on him but until he becomes aggressive like Olajuwon or Shaq or lebron he’s never going to be an all time great. He’s definitely playing great though.
Jose is a beast
Jokic is so Dominant, has an Amazing Court Vision, Intuitive/Psychic-Sense of Playmaking, and has Control of the Game that he doesn’t need to put crazy Stats/number to Win Games 🥇🏆
that really was a huge play by Braun
Down by 1, why did the Pelicans try to hit a 3 pts at the buzzer?
CJ got such a low Basketball IQ. They should limit his minutes to under 30.
Hernangomez was open underneath the basket last play of the game… 9:00 Pelicans could've won
Lmao can’t pronounce Braun’s name
With voter fatigue Jokic might not get another MVP, but I hope he gets finals MVP
Holy shit bro was wide open at the end underneath
What happened to MPJ??
Pels have the best announcing team
And will be a factor in the playoffs.
Pels and Sacramento are dangerous…but I like the Nuggets chances this year
