This Wood dogs choking disasterclass 👀👀
I made fried rice. Yeah, I waited until after the game to make my dinner. Jokic eats first, then me
Kyle Anderson wow…
man…what a painful experience being a wolves fan must be.
wait what happened in timber dog game
Bruh why they gotta show that replay with that Wolves player with his hand in his pants rubbing up all on his dick
The Denver Nuggets have won?
14.8 seconds with a three point lead, that’s exactly where the Mavs would wanna be bruhhhh
Luka contested 3 for the loss?
elite backcourt dallas…
Nuggets win! Mavericks lose! 🙂
Golly, what incredible defense in the final possession.
Wow Timberdogs choked but the Mavs choked harder
Mavericks have a competent last possession challenge
Lol Irving fucking sucks
HAHA omg that was a hilarious last play
Watching the mavs is like watching the opposite of the Nuggets. 1v1 isolation ball that leads to a contested 20-30ft jumpshot. And then they could barely get any stops or rebounds in the last 5 minutes.
Kyrie scored like crazy in the 4th and they still lost.
Go Bullets wait Wizards let’s split the diff go Buzzards
Cancar with the DPOG chain, rightfully deserved.
Vlatko DPOG
Wolves fans wanting respect in the pgt on r/nba for almost choking a 20+ point lead is funny in a sad way
Portland win here vs Lakers is huge, Portland > Playin chances increase, Lakers dead, GSW might fall out as well.
Wait. Thybulle out here hitting 3 threes? I thought he was the most useless offensive players in the league.
Who did the Sixers get back for Thybulle?
Is lebron even going to play after the all star break at this point?
Just saw the ending to that Dallas Wolves game was Kyrie and Luka playing Hot Potato lol
Poor Mike had his dpog chain snatched by last second Vlatko heroics
Hilarious to me that people were talking like Beas and Vando were going to fix the Lakers lol
Lakers aren’t making the play in lmao
“Give me the top 4 teams and we’ll beat all of them”, I unironcially saw a tweet like this that had 10k likes from a lakers fan. Delusional fanbase. Happy to see them lose big tonight even after their additions
Me: Well now that NFL season is over and the Nuggets are surging to the top of the league, I bet they will get some more coverage from the local media.

Eric Spoelstra was kinda in awe of our offense during his post game presser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V0YJQd85y4
Mavs situation remind me of when we brought in Iverson and the team didn’t become as good as we hoped
With a really good defensive showing against Dallas at home and/or some luck that MIN vs WAS + OKC vs HOU are high scoring shootouts the Nuggets have an outside chance at being the #11 team in DRTG by the ASB.
|Team|DRTG|Rank|
|:-|:-|:-|
|LAC|112.4|#10|
|OKC|113.0|#11|
|MIN|113.0|#12|
|**DEN**|**113.2**|**#13**|
|BRK|113.3|#14|
|GSW|113.7|$15|
I am once again reminding you AD was voted top 75. Anyone who did should not be able to vote ever again

Not a bad road trip, 2-1, and that’s with Murray and AG not playing in the 2 wins.
Tough games coming up: vs Mavs, @Cavs, @Grizzlies, vs Clippers, vs Grizzlies

How worried are we about Jamal and AG’s injuries?
40 before 20 is a good omen.
Now we need to pick up road wins.
Championship teams are usually stunningly good on the road.
Who are the cap Bois?
Can we re-sign Bryant?
Lakers fans got Vogel fired and they ended up with a worse coach lol.
I don’t know what happened. I fell asleep as the game was ending, but I think I was effectively asleep for a good portion of last quarter. Then I had a horrific dream, just horrific. And it woke me up. I woke up to the game is over, and we won, and I have a deleted comment with a lot of replies.
I just want to be asleep still. I don’t even know what the comment was, and I don’t remember the 4th quarter.
I hate being an insomniac with major sleep issues.
Was I sleep-watching the last quarter? What was the comment I made and deleted? I just want to go back to sleep. Fuck me that dream was horrific, and I woke up because I died in my dream. Dammit. God damn it all.
I guess I am awake now :/
5 games ahead of 2nd place, Celtics are only 1.5 ahead of 2nd. I don’t think there’s a better position in the NBA to be in than the Nugs
