SPAM PICKLEROLL IS BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS
Easily the best game of the season for me. Obviously not our most dominant. They did a great job of crowding the paint and getting up there to disrupt shots. Loony is looking better than ever. Overall, a really fun game against a great team.
Ppl want better defense but then when teams arent scoring they say everyone sucked 😀 Okay yeah shooting wasn’t great by both teams but also there was plenty of huge defensive and tight playoff basketball defense.
Like in last minutes,Gordon block,doubling Jokic and stealing ball by Warriors,KCP and Jokic smothering Curry on his shot to send to game to OT etc etc.
There was some good defense played tonight
Nuggets have won 18 of their last 20 games.
Collin did not look good in any aspect. That lineup of jokic and a bunch of young guys was BAD
Worth saying but this game would be very different if even half of those blown layups were made for Denver in the first half.
Malik Monk has 19 free throw attempts tonight. Our whole ass team got 22 lol
8-1 in the first 9 games. Great start! Now all we gotta do is repeat that 8 more times in a row to put ourselves in a position to tie the 73-9 Warriors in the last game of the season.
That was the first 8 pm game — hockey, football, or basketball — that I didn’t fall asleep during. Too stressful.
Gillespie played 16 minutes tonight. That’s too much for a two way player. He seems like a good guy but this stage isn’t for him. He can play minutes in blowouts as third playmaker. Now I want to see Pickett to get his minutes
Huge s/o to Mike in the early 4th, dude gave us some quick energy with 2 buckets and 2 blocks that we desperately needed at the time. He’s been playing some excellent ball and I’m super proud of him.
Buckle up, boys. In the 20 games from now until Christmas against the Warriors again, the Nuggs play 14 of 20 on the road.
So like joker mvp or what
People saying in the game thread and in the post game dnvr show that the arena was really quiet tonight – I was there, I don’t think it was really quiet but there were enough GSW fans to where the cheers may have been diluted. It wasn’t a thriller but I don’t think it was so silent as it may have seemed on TV.
Reggie stepped up tonight with Jamal out. A lot of people dismissed his re-signing, but hopefully he can be a solid part of our rotation
Mark of champions, winning an ugly one lol
Good teams find ways to win even when they play bad
Do people actually fucking care about internet points? I just had a salty ass warrior fan send me a dm saying that they hope I enjoy losing karma.
You would have to be a bigger bitch than Embiid to care about karma.
Man, I’ll take the dub.
​
But I’m worried about missing Jamal. He would’ve been a big factor tonight.
Jokic just tanked his 3 point percentage. What’s it at now lol???
I hope Steve Kerr is okay. That was quite the persecution he had to go through tonight. It’s not fair to him or his family that they lost to the Nuggets.
May DeAndre Jordan bless his heart.
Our best players are:
Jokic
Jackson
Porter
Gordon
Kcp
And it’s not up for debate
I love that MPJ and Reggie stepped up, but the bench scored 12 of 108 points. That is just not good enough. We need to add some veteran depth at the deadline.
I think we need to find a way to pick up another point guard. Reggie got in foul trouble, and while Collin plays hard and mostly smart (gambled on defense a bit and gave up some open looks), he is just so small and inexperienced.
We don’t have really any flexibility unfortunately
Braun needs to improve on offense this season badly
Back from the game. Sad Strawther noises is all I have for analysis.
LFG!
Reggie BARTON Jackson
Larriors fans crying for fouls again
Can somebody send a compilation of Jokic getting mauled to them these fucking losers
just got home. WTF nuggets fans. that building was fucking LOUD with warriors fans. not cool
The Nugget begin the season 8-1, the best record in the NBA (unless the Sixers win the next two games).
To me, this is a beautiful thing.
It took exactly one game for people to panic about the bench again lol
Think Jokic running with the bench instead of Jamal fucked up their familiar rhythm, also Jokic is not switchable like Zeke on defense, so the D suffered a lot too.
I know they can figure something out, but that was rough…
Wait how did I miss this….. Denver back on the menu??!?

HYPE
was Zeke bad. feel like i didnt see him much
Is strawther back in Malone’s dog house after tn
KCP first team all defense easy
