    Winning NBA games without their best players seems pretty tough for Denver 🤔

  3. BasketTimely

    Win is a win fellas.

    Tough stretch coming up. Glad they’re all at home.

  4. asapshrank

    3-1 on this road trip gang.

    4/5 upcoming at home.

    4/5 of those against teams coming off or going into B2B.

    might have zion back for the last 2

    WE BACK

  6. gandhi890

    Triple double with only 1 turnover! He is Him

  8. LuckyWarrior

    Ingram has finally gotten into his Kingram form these last few weeks

    I know Saturday will be huge for a final push at getting into 6th and avoiding the play-ins but I will say I’m least confident the Pels won’t be the team to shit the bed in allowing Dallas back into the play-ins

  10. SpaceAfricanJesus

    It was ugly, it was disorganized, but a win is a win.

    4 home games in a row coming up with Zion on the horizon. Let’s get it.

  11. Infinite_Response113

    We’re finally pulling it together just in time for the playoffs, and boy Zion is going to be real scary for us, man’s gotta be pissed with all the bs he’s been receiving for his injuries

  12. KingB53

    I don’t wanna hear anymore Embiid MVP talk if THIS is what Jokic has to deal with lmao

  14. dalton_k

    The Kinston Kid with another Triple Double!!! Wish I could’ve been at this game but unfortunately work calls. Gotta say thanks to the Nugs for sitting Jokic for us, huge win🙌🏻

  15. FlyingSMonster

    Man if only we didn’t blow it against GSW, we would be the 6 seed right now!

  16. hourhandqq

    People will say Nuggests lost because they don’t have Jokic. And they’re correct. But I never see people take into factor that the Pels have been playing without either one of 2 All NBA players at almost all stages of the season for consecutive 2 years

  17. AnotherStatsGuy

    I know they say you never get a fair return for a superstar. But BI has been that good. Another 30 point triple-double?

    Jokic isn’t the Nuggets’ designated free throw shooter, so why did Denver miss so many at the stripe?

    Plenty for the Pelicans to like, but still plenty to work on. This was an ugly opening, an ugly mid-game, and the Pelicans slowly worked their way to a winning endgame. I’ll take it. CJ was quietly really, really good.

  18. SteelOliver

    Let’s go! The win column doesn’t say who played and who didn’t.

  19. NormalIsopod

    CJ was clutch tonight. Lights out in the 3rd to maintain our lead. And his last two 3’s were BI’s 9th and 10th assist.

  20. D350PG

    BI is the best playmaking wing in the league after Bron

  21. shahsnow

    A gritty win against a playoff team, we needed it for confidence and now we are the seventh seed

  22. Icy-Yogurtcloset1448

    Wasn’t a perfect game by any means, but a win is a win. They have to develop more offensive awareness and clean up some of the lazy turnovers. They must recognize the mismatches when JV and BI are on the floor. CJ must play off of them as opposed to taking matters into his own hands. He’s god tier on his open catch and shoot threes. Trey needs more opportunities, too.

  24. Merbn

    Just here to say fuck the Lakers. That is all, have a nice night

  26. shahsnow

    Lakers fans really believe the top teams in the west are conspiring to keep them out of the playoffs because they’re afraid. Absolute insanity lmao

  27. Advanced-External454

    BI looking like prime tmac out there

  28. brendenclem

    After watching 4 pels game in person I finally got to see them win 🥲

  29. goku7144

    Me who couldnt make it – how tf did we beat the number 1 seed 107-88??

    Oh Jokic sat lmao free win
