Any given night Nuggets took the night off Rockets beat them like SanAntonio
A more dominate Suns team limped there way into the playoffs last year and we know how that turned out
How tf could they lose against the Rockets ?!
What a total joke of a game. Bullshit effort. And could have given them some time off for the rest of the season. Wtf is wrong with them? I’m not watching this team until the playoffs. Done.
D-line is right. This game was disgusting and an embarrassing effort, but they aren't going to play like this in the playoffs. They clearly didn't care, and we all look like suckers for caring about this game more than the players did.
The only thing I'm worried about is if we are healthy. And I'm not sure about Jamal's thumb, Jokic's calf, and Gordon's… whole body.
can smbdy explain to me, "not showing any of your hand to PHX" isn't the Nuggets the team that struggles to adjust, if anything you want to be at least 1 level deep when you start the series, or you prefer not to show anything and go 1-3 again?
Avs won like 20 or something straight at home. That team was absolutely locked in. Don’t feel like i’ve seen the same from Nuggs this year.
Then y’all wonder why people love MJ, Kobe, Magic, Bird And many others so much.
These dudes would play hard every game and try to kill each up on the court. I really like Joker but I better see killer come playoff time. No excuses!
I really hope the Nuggets can, I just feel it’s unfair to compare to Avs. Avs won 56 games last year, and were 24-14 on the road. That team has Mack, Makar, Landeskog, Rantanen. 3 superstars, and two top 5 players.
It's same game when Barselona decided not to sign Nikola Jokić and Denver did, so it's really bad in every way but i just want to say it… 🤷
It feels like we are intentionally trying to do to 2nd to avoid the Suns in the second round.
I think all the talk about Jokić and stats ,and all the ugliness that came out in the media, got to him, it's like he doesn't want to play his game anymore
WTF was this game? Why do they play like they don't want to win? They act like none of these games matter and I can't understand why at all. This is not the right mentality. They should have played serious all of these games and the rest of the season too.
Jokić dont need 3rd MVP and label that he dont deserve it. Give it to Embid, take the chip and than make few more MVP titles
We are getting bounced in the first round, and then it's time to find a new coach, although the front office didn't do him any favors at the trade deadline.
PS Murray and MPJ think they are on the level of Curry and Klay when they haven't even been to an All-Star game.
Brown, Braun, and Watson should be starting next year. These guys offer better rim protection than our 2 time MVP center🤦♂ Time to move on from Murray and MPJ.
I think they will rise up and dominate when the playoff start and when it start to matter. They are so good that they can "take the time off", take it easy and rest..
I know the playoffs are a different beast but if you can't get up to clinch the #1 seed for a single game against a terrible team then what hope do you have to get up for 16 wins against teams who will likely want to win more than you in the playoffs?
I've stayed pretty even keeled all season, but this team is weak minded and Malone will be fired because this team has never learned not to play down to its competition(I like Malone, I don't want him fired). Championship contenders win the games they're supposed to, they don't quit in the 2nd half of a game they're supposed to clinch in. If they get to the Finals it means some other teams got bad injury news because this Nuggets team looks happier to be on summer break than to have a chance at a title. I doubt we get out of the first round, whomever we play will definitely want it more than Houston did and if we play like we have the past few weeks then why bother showing up at all? It's sad to see them stumble into the playoffs like this, they might as well just bench the starters for rest and pray they can pull together their game with 2 weeks off…
Taktiks belive,dont so much negativ Vord,yu ar saks
You mean he got a Pity MVP. Get the pressure of Jokic😀
I would tank to avoid the Suns
The one positive from this season(expect a 1st round exit) will be that its Malone last.
When they took their foot off the pedal instead of going for the league title and home court throughout, he lost the teams momentum. Another moronic move from a veteran coach.
Bye bye Malone…
Murray plays. We win. Murray injury worries me. Not worried about Jokic. When it matters he shows up.
I think nikola is evan playing as bad as he can so this mvp shit is over
I honestly think that the MVP discussion burned Jok out. Seems to me he's saying fuck it, let's go to the playoffs, this is all irrelevant. He doesn't want the MVP questions anymore, he doesn't want the stat-padding questions, he just wants to go win a chip.
Malone’s “it’s everyone’s fault but mine” act is really getting old. He’s not a championship coach I’m sorry but it feels like a first round choke job is inevitable
Malone is weird. He is so sticked with washed Jeff and he is mass coach. He played with Jordan?! Before Vlatko?
