    TB can’t possibly have lost this much impact- I swear it’s something to do with our coaching / scheme.

  2. bartimaeus13

    Tell me when the nightmare’s over 😭

  4. Imnotdrunk28

    I’m so glad you all are mature adults who know how to get along

  5. BroncoSquatch

    Malone bad hire Hammon or Adelman, they know ball

  6. UnderratedNightmare

    A lot of Nugget fans want Jokic to not win MVP because they fear the slander that will be sent his way all playoffs or especially if they lose before finals. With the recent games those fans may get their wish. Embiid & Giannis stock going up. March 25th going to be a huge game for MVP narratives. Along with March 27th.

  7. Rgeorge813

    I was upset and now I feel better. Go nuggs! I still believe

  8. WeirdRedBeard

    Non-zero chance I’ll get banned from this sub for my participation in the Sixers sub when Embiid leaves Philly (I’m guessing this Summer).

  9. Eh I’m still not worried. Bad stretches happen, maybe I’ll hit the panic button if Detroit kills us.

  10. noidentity63

    Hey look at the bright side. Al-qaeda leader Reggie Jackson was a DNP.

  11. Pumpoozle

    Can someone make an Embiid flopping compilation?

  12. ladidadi82

    Jamal Murray would be playing a lot better if he just leaned into the pg role more. I know he’s trying to get his shot back but he gives himself and everyone else more space when he’s making the right passes instead of dribbling for a shot.

  13. ImGonnaChubbBradley

    I can say in my lifetime that I saw the Broncos and Avalanche win a title. I want the same for the Nuggets but idk man.

  14. Ok. Starting to become concerned with how we are playing. Honestly, I think it’s time to sit murray until he is healed up. There are bigger things at stake than regular season games or even the one seed. Ideally we keep the 1 seed, but we are going nowhere with Jamaal playing injilured. We also need to revert back to the bench we had with zeke and vlatko heading up the front court, bruce brown at point and CB at the 2. This new bench lineup is a disaster and there isn’t time to sort it out. The old lineup could at least defend.

  15. Pumpoozle

    Murray playing like he’s the main character

  16. Downtown-Desk-3275

    When the entire team shoots 55% I don’t think you look at the guy with the lowest fg% and blame him for the loss. Murray could have shot 50% and that still would not have covered the deficit.

  17. DNVR used the S word and since then it has all gone to shit.

  18. WeirdRedBeard

    I’m actually really curious what Bryant would look like in the starting lineup, assuming Mal and AG are at 100%. The Jok stagger would be interesting. For the record, I do **not** believe this is a good idea, but I’m very curious.

  19. Improverb

    In addition to the 24% on 6/25 from 3 and letting them take 22 more shots overall, we also got destroyed on the offensive boards.

    This is why we lost and all of those things can be easily fixed with some good ol’ fashioned EFFORT… and mostly on the defensive end of the ball.

    Tonight’s loss was less likely due to schemes and rotations, and more likely due to lack of effort and focus from the players.

  20. nooblevelum

    Should have fired Mike Malone mid season when Quin Synder was available

  21. ParadeShitter

    I leave for 2 weeks and everything falls to shit

  22. porkadachop

    Broke: Jamal is a bad player.

    Woke: Jamal needs rest, he’s obviously injured.

    Bespoke: Blocking 10 people tonight. Fucking legend (Me)!
