AG should have been an all star
Insane energy
I just don’t know how anyone is gonna beat this team 4 times in 7 games.
Cool to see Jamiroquai out on the court with Jamal
If Jokic plays like a human being today we probably blow them out by 40+
Vibes going into ASW are fantastic for the 2nd season in a row. S/o Monte ❤️
Jeff Green is a real one. I can see him having an impact in a playoff game this year
Luka cashing the big 3 to hit 37 for the game and cut the deficit to double digits gonna happen in the playoffs too btw nobody in the West should be scared of them with that defense
Jokic didn’t want to be on the court today lol
Jeff “please don’t take my rotation spot away from me” Green
No way George Karl coached any number of minutes while holding a strange baby.
Uncle Jeff has filled a Dad sized Millsap hole in my heart
Head into the all-star break with another W!
MPJ was great on offense tonight and Jeff looked like he turned back time with the performance. The second unit looked really good in the first half and rougher in the second, but there’s still improvement offensively from them with TB handling the boards.
KCP was elite in defense and on corner 3s, and Vlatko was a great connector piece tonight. So excited for the guys to get some much needed rest over the next week and come back to finish the season strong!
Great game from Unc
So weird this season, getting a 9 point win and thinking we could do better.
Uncle Green with the Nugget of the night interview completes my night
I hope Bryant is all right but atleast he has a week to rest right now
I love how close this team feels
shoutout thomas bryant
I love the Jeff Green redemption. We have a great group of vets that have really good energy. Green, DAJ, Ish. They’re not the best anymore but damn it’s fun when they have a good one. And Ish has been solid recently.
Jokic and co had some bad passes but otherwise a really solid game. Another TD. Team is 27-3 when they get 30 assists or more.
41 wins before all star. Most ever for this team.
Nuggets are a art form
Time for the boys to get some rest.
Such a good game! Nuggets almost made it look easy tonight down Murray and Gordon. To be fair though no Kyrie for Dallas, could have been a different game. Jeff Green going off was actually a treat! We could use a lot more of that. CB looking so good out there! Man I love this team.
40 before 20 too easy
Now let’s go 50 before 20
3-0 in the Thomas Bryant era
MPJ with some great 2 way play you love to see it
Nuggets r gud
Hope AG gets well soon I never want to see him in streetclothes again
Hope Bryant is ok!
I do not fear the Mavs. If we get them in the playoffs it will be a gentleman sweep. I dont care if they didn’t have Kyrie or Hardaway. we are missing guys too and look what we did.
Jeff Greenlight
mpj s definitely feeling better and his game shows it. so good
Huge game, much needed. Now rest up and take care of yourselves over the nicely placed all-star break and everyone come back healthy and ready to go.
So the Nuggets are gonna play the final 23 games of the regular season with a 10 man rotation of:
1. Jokic
2. Jamal
3. AG
4. KCP
5. MPJ
6. Bruce
7. Reggie
8. Braun
9. Bryant
With Vlatko, Jeff, Zeke as utility players and Ish as a “*break glass in case of emergency*” dude?
Yeah, I dig it.
Btw even though he’s not playing perfect and he’s fucking up relatively often, I’m pretty sure these past couple of weeks are easily the best basketball MPJ has ever played.
Can Joker please just have a 50 pt triple double?!? Is that so hard to ask?
Almost wanted to wring Vlatko’s neck for passing up a layup from a Jokic pass for a TD, but he ended up getting it anyway lol
Jokic with the back door triple double with 60%+ on an off night. What an efficiency merchant.
