Is what it is. They the better team. Lets see if we can make something happen in game 2
Boss I am not having fun
DLo fuckin sold
AD innocent
Bench D’Lo.
Fire Ham.
Good night.
Ham going away from Rui on Jokic, Gabe getting in foul trouble, and D LO continuously destroying our momentum at vital moments. We had a chance too man….
Idc what we do next game but tell dālo his offseason started early and send him home
Just win game 2
At least 6 of those DLo shot attempts should have went to Rui. Offense was abysmal. Too much standing around and isos. Too much dribbling from Lebron resulting in some head scratching turnovers.
This game does not exude any confidence for the rest of the series…
On to the next.
Lets just not get swept
We need more from Reaves and Dlo period
Whose idea was it for Lebron to take limited shots in the 4th quarter? Whose idea was it for Dlo to take the 2nd most shot attempts on the team when his shot is not falling?
Weād be lucky for a gentlemanās sweep at this point
Start Vincent over DLOĀ
third quarters kill us every time and dlo cannot take 20 shots and brick them.
Austin reaves needs to be more aggressive early
Told everyone thereās no way Dlo plays as bad as he did last year šš
I thought AD was the best player on the court tonight the problem is nuggets had 5 of the next 6 smh
AD showed up.. Lebron showed up.. playoff DLO showed upš
Shouldāve put Gabe in for DLo a long time ago. Shouldāve put AD on Jokic a long time ago. Iād rather watch Spencer and Gabe than AR and DLo play no offense AND no defense. Wtf. AD did his job and we still got whooped. Our backcourt is pathetic
D’lo putting up shots after the game as we speak.
AD was exhausted out there damn
Rui is one of the most efficient offensive players in the league, but where are the shot attempts? Not like he’s out there for his defensive prowess, and unlikely he could shoot worse than Dlo did.
– team is undersized
– DLo, Reaves, and Rui are all choking in some capacity
– Ham canāt adjust well or motivate the guys
Was Vincent hurt? Don’t understand why he didn’t get any run in the second half.
D’lo is the MVP for the Nuggets today
KCP WANTED TO BE IN LA
HE WAS SO ANGRY HE WAS TRADED AWAY
WHY THE FUCK DID HE GET TRADED FOR RUSS??
If DLO even made half his shots, we would have won.
They just have our number
Itās the same story every time
Iāve seen this movie before
Playoff Dlo arrived
That 3rd Q killed us
All you DLO fanboys can follow him to his new team after these next 3 games. Dude is a š¤”. Playoffs are too bright for him
Helluva ball club
Feel like the only way the Lakers win is if they get one of those miracle games where they shoot 50% from 3. Cause Lakers best vs Denver best, they’re better.
Game 2 in 2 days after AD and LeBron played heavy minutes, not looking good.
Lebron losing his legs late in the game after nearly a week of rest does not bode well.
AD was the best player on the floor and nobody will notice because DLO is the worst playoff performer in the NBA
DLO: *3/24 (12.5%) from 3 in his last 5 playoff games against the Nuggets*
D. Russel aka The Failed Experiment, can not be trusted.
That L is on Dlo
dude just had to be not shit and it was a different game, but playoffs and DLO just don’t get along together
DLO needs a shorter leash if he’s gonna play like this, that’s one loss already on him, don’t need to risk more
Dlo really had Jokic on him and decided to take a mid range jumper instead of blowing by him. His game will always be ugly to me regardless of his regular season stats.
Fucking Westbrook trade lost us 3 years of prime ad and LeBron. Imagine if KCP was on our team instead of theirs…
Dlo just not made for the playoffs the sample size is big enough over his playoff career to date. Idc if they can’t score a lick either atleast dinwiddie and Gabe will try on d. Dlo welcome to prove us wrong but this game wasn’t a strong start
D’lo you are now a Guangdhou Shark
Besides Jokic Denver played a terrible game which is scary. We def donāt have the fire power to keep up w them
This is just who dlo is, guys who are historically bad in the playoffs don’t just get good in the playoffs. Everybody let “deadline dlo” fool them
A piece of me died when Denver came back with the 12-0 run in the 2nd quarter.
Up by 3 coming into the 3rd….Down by 11 coming into the 4th.
Broo d lo is the nuggets best player BRO TOOK 20 SHOTS AND MADE 6. IDK WHY DLO LOSES THE ABILITY TO PLAY BASKETBALL VS THE NUGGETS. I feel so bad for bron and ad who did really good this game. Everyone else frauded man. Itās so sad 2 see this. Possible sweep if the rest donāt lock tf in š¤£
š§¹
9 loses in a row
So many mistakes have compounded over the years.
Trading KCP and Kuz plus picks for Brick, letting Caruso and Lopez go when both were willing to take a discount to stay, sticking with Ham when Dr.Buss would’ve fired him for Nurse, choosing JHS over the local JJJ, picking Wanger when the Jesse wanted Robinson.
Hindsight is 20/20, but we could’ve had a rotation of Reaves, Caruso, KCP, LBJ, Kuz, Rui, JJJ, AD, Lopez, Robinson being lead by Nurse.
Lost the game in the 3rd. Just straight up panicked when Denver made their run. They went away from their offense and just started chucking threes. If they just calmed down a little and went right back to their offense, I think we would’ve been fine.
DLo, you lost yourself a good amount of money tonight. Let’s see if you can get it back on Monday.
