    22 points on 29 field goals 😤 😤 😤 😤

  2. GerhardBURGER1

    Great the Lakers won but i hope they dont make the Playoffs. A first round series vs them with healthy AD would be scary not gonna lie

  3. rabbit_job

    Lakers’ whistle is terrifying, fuck those chumps.

  4. UnseldOutletPass

    I could watch the dunkfest clip all night. “Are you kidding!! The Bruce is loose!!! What is happening right now?!?!?”

  5. WeirdRedBeard

    Can’t believe I’m happy about Lakers winning via refball

  6. Braun_Nuggz316

    Ok Lakers can go back to losing again

  7. Llama_Sandwich

    Well folks, we officially outlasted the Grizzlies and their silly little streak.

    1 seed is safe for a little bit longer

  8. n0t_malstroem

    But forreal the Grislies are one dumb ass team. Do not fear them in the slightest

  9. BartonOwnsMalone

    33-13, only 7 more wins to get that 40 wins before 20 losses Phil Jackson “rule”.

  10. joenriquez

    Denver legend Shannon Sharpe coming through for us!

  11. resonance700

    FUCK THE GRIZZLIES 1.5 GAMES UP IN THE WEST LETS GO!

  12. _absofuckinglutely

    Shannon Sharpe YOU are a Denver Nugget

  13. FivePointsPlay

    Imagine losing to the Lakers in LA on national TV smh #FakeContender

  14. FivePointsPlay

    Also… longest win streak of the so-called “Jokic era” and yet Nikola didn’t even play in two of those games… makes you think 🤔🤔

  15. Bodiroga1987

    I woke up and clicked here i thought Lakers Reddit you mf 😮👻

    Denver won, Jokic had a rest and extended sex with Natalija, Memphis lost. What a Saturday morning at work 😎

  16. n0t_malstroem

    Just saw we had 38 assists tonight. What the actual fuck bro. We’ve actually solved offense

  17. JakeJacob

    Imagine thinking Dillon fucking Brooks would have a chance against Shannon Sharpe lol

  18. So happy for Braun kid, guy deserves to play a lot more and glad he’s gelling well with the second unit.

    Games like these would’ve been a lost cause a year or two ago but the guys are playing some amazing ball right now.

    Good vibes throughout

  19. LACIRCA2044

    It’s so funny how on nba Twitter Philly fans are now dick riding Jamal so hard they can’t see straight

  20. grinderbinder

    Anyone know what Bruce Brown was saying to Chris Duarte?

  21. dnelson7

    Listening to DNVR and when Adam said that Jamal is not back he is new Jamal I was shook to my core

  22. Spirited-Praline1094

    That series of dunk sequences reminded me of the Melo moment where he stole the inbound pass and dunked it— it’s this feeling that the team knows it’s possible to win it all or something. Pretty good lil feelin frens

  23. Spirited-Praline1094

    Serge Ibaka as backup C ?? Is he pure garbage now or what’s going on there?? Granted I want to see our French C next season- but what about a 1 year contract??

  24. griffskry

    My dream would be Secret Base & Jon Bois making a documentary about the Nuggets. Gotta be coming at some point, right?

  25. aatencio91

    Saw a dude in the 300s wearing a Braun jersey tonight and I just wanna shout that out.

  26. Sixers fans voting AG and Murray into the ASG to justify Embiid’s MVP status.

    Thanks?
