Just made home from the game. My voice is shot but so fucking worth it. I love this team
Cool to see Peyton Manning rooting for Nuggets too!
[deleted]
Is TNT finished by this point in the post-season?
Have almost 0 interest in watching ESPN’s coverage. Would be great seeing the inside crew’s reaction to these games.
Our run from 81 to 100 is what i think Warriors fans have gotten to feel all these years – that shit is high powered fun and I want more.
FUCK THE LAKERS

People thought this guy was the one to stop Jokic
LeBron and AD looked like the two most tired people I’ve ever seen the last 7 minutes.
Literally just ran them out of town. That Jokic starting the 4th with a couple minute rest was beautifully executed couple big shots by Murray in those minutes kept them from resting their stars ever again.
Watching the highlights, it really seemed like the Lakers’ perimeter defense went in the garbage in the fourth quarter. Not to take anything away from the clutch shooting by Mal and Mike, but they were either exhausted or just didn’t respect our shooting.
during the 3rd quarter I commented that we should bench jamal for the 4th and I just want to apologize
Legend says I’m still waiting for the Cam Payne substitution to be the difference maker for the suns
If you doubting this team still wake the fuck up, goddamn
all sorts of copium and excuses over in the Lakers sub.
“if my grandmother had wheels, she’d be a bike” kinda vibe.
fucking casuals.
All the clowns in the live thread insisting the game was over with 5 to go in the 3rd quarter need to find another team to root for.
That was truly one of the wildest games I’ve ever watched. Jamal Murray went full hammer time there. Even though we’ve seen him go crazy hot shooting wise, this felt like I was watching elite cinema especially considering everything he has went through
Ball was electric tonight. 2 more wins. Unbelievable
Guys I’m pumped
On one hand, we almost lost 2 home games, despite making crazy tough shots, Jokic going sicko mode, and Bruce having huge games. On the other hand, Lakers shouldn’t have made the playoffs, they’re getting carried by the refs.
I have no idea how to feel about the rest of the series. Winning 4/5 is real tough tho.
2 more to go. Let’s stay composed, DIG IN!!!!
I went to the game tonight and the lakers fan were annoying as fuck in the first 3 quarters. I turned around to talk shit at 2 minutes left and they were gone. Soft ass fans
jamal’s performance in the 4th was EPIC! his mom and little brother were in the stands for the 1st time this postseason. so happy they were able to witness it 💙💛
My heart man. These games.
We can win an offensive show where everyone’s making shots like in g1, we can win a game where it’s more shots aren’t falling like tonight. Ngl lakers are p damn good, but we better. Nuggs in 6
I’ve literally been and NBA fan all my life.
I was born in North Carolina in 1978. Michael Jordan became a Tar Heel and then the NBA GOAT at the time I was becoming aware of life itself.
I was a Hornets ballboy in 1992, Larry Johnson, etc. Handed Jordan a cup of water, passed some balls to him in shoot around. Peak childhood experience.
Nuggets season tickets since 2018.
Felt super robbed when we made the WCF without fans in the bubble.
Seeing Jok get an MVP trophy was a peak experience.
But tonight was another peak basketball experience. I’m trying to keep it contained but I’m fuckin out of my mind.
Well, I’ll say this, were due for a game that Austin Reaves isnt shooting 200% from 3 while also banking in 1 or 2 a game.
I survived the LA bar despite my loud ass trash talk. I kept yelling for lebron to keep taking threes. They were not amused lol
