  1. We let monte morris walk so we could promote bones. I wish we still had him. I think the nuggets made mistake here for sure

  2. Why would zeke not fit at the four ? I know the switchable defense for zeke is his main thing but we could we zeke shoot more threes and defend 4 (smaller players)

  3. Surprised to not hear it mentioned, but it feels like against a big team like Orlando and lacking Nnaji and DJ, Denver just didn't have any size on the second unit, and that let them get bullied on defense. We knew they weren't gonna score, but then if they can't make switches because they only have one tall guy and it's Vlatko, and their worst defender is the stagger, and CB has an off game, it seems like something like this is bound to happen. The Nuggets bench was minus SEVENTY-FIVE tonight. The difference in bench points more than tripled the final score differential. Orlando's second, third, and fourth highest scorers were bench players. It took a defensive meltdown on top of scoring issues to accomplish this, and size seems like a real reason why. Even if Bryant is weak defensively, he's a real 5, and in a similar Nnajiless situation would let Vlatko play a real 4, and that would let the bench hit the low baseline that would have let them win this game.

  4. It is very bad, vets are awkward. Denver need some insurance on PG position. I think that Denver players just were disappointed with trade deadline, you are favorite and now they did not make any good move.
    Ish and Jeff are just unplayable, but Ish is your second PG, and they need to change something.

  5. The Nuggets seemed completely out of it tonight. Wonder if the Bones waiver had an impact. Can't imagine it didn't. It's a shame, Aaron is having an incredible season!! Also remember, Carmelo Anthony never won in Denver in a Knicks uniform, did he? It doesn't seem like he had any success coming back. Maybe that will happen to Aaron in Orlando. At least Aaron didn't get Booed mercilessly!!?? (Yeah I know Denver "traded" Bones, but they may as well have waived him for what they got in return. That's what I meant.)

  6. Orlando isn't bad team, don't get me wrong they aren't good, but there is some chaos around them that is somehow difficult to play against. They are so random, and I think Jokic doesn't know them like at all so this is just one to forget about.

  7. P̶h̶o̶e̶n̶i̶x̶

    Now we are officially finals favourites, you can't be considered a contender without losing to Orlando.

  8. Everybody played so bad except gordan
    Surprised this wasn't a blowout honestly

  9. I think that Orlando team looks pretty good. Young and talented. Caught Denver on an off night for them. It happens.

  10. when it comes to PG discussion, what are they talking about, they stagger Murray, there will be always Murray/Jokic on the floor…Murray can run the bench, Jokic can use practically anybody as the ball handler BB/CB/AG…so in the PG they are talking about won't come into play in the playoff unless there's Murray injury…

  11. Fun fact Mle High Legend and former nugget Chauncey Bullips was drafted #3 overall in the 1997 draft by the Celtics and in his second season traded.
    From 1998 to 2002 Chauncey played for 4 teams including the nuggets one season before landing a home in Detriot for 6 straight years.
    So all you fools crying over bones.
    Shut up.
    If that can happen to a 3rd over all pick.
    Then it can happen to a 26th.
    Message!

  12. Whatever you do DNVR please do not take the bones burger off the menu I haven’t tried it yet

  13. COULD HAVE USED BONES SCORING COMING OFF THE BENCH LAST NIGHT…..
    DIDN'T REPLACE IT….COULD BE A PROBLEM.
    IF YOUR GETTING RID OF A SCORER YOU SHOULD PROBABLY GET ANOTHER SCORER.
    ANOTHER CENTER?????

  14. Yall should of spoke on bol going off again bol bones jerami grant, there's the two man game they ran against Minnesota when we lost this game Malone doesn't know how to maximize his players

  15. Nuggets are one of the biggest losers.
    Nuggets' Bench scored only 10 points on their last game obviously this is where bones hyland's loss is felt!
    Thomas Bryant will only play if Jokic is in foul trouble or tired!
    GM Calvin Booth made a mistake instead of making an improvement the #Nuggets now lost 14 points off the bench who will replace those points when Jokic and Jamal Murray are resting and MPJ's shots are not falling!
    #NBA #TradeDeadline can either make or break a team's championship chances🤦🏻‍♂️😞😪🏀💯💪🏻🙏🏻
