    I just realized there’s a country in Africa for every letter except the letter K.

    I’m getting taco ^^^^bell for lunch!

    I would be fine resting AG and Murray against the Mavs except I predicted Denver would enter the all star break at 41-18 about 5 weeks ago and also fuck Kyrie. Need this one.

  4. trevstan1

    PSG vs Bayern at 8pm. Champs league returns for the knockout rounds.

  5. Spirited-Praline1094

    Everyone please buy Bakkers Buckets before the alien invasion. Youā€™ll need 600 lbs of food and buckets to shit in soon. Thx, I care about your safety.

    In all seriousness, how the hell do they fix the dunk contest? Its unfortunately not amazing anymore to see athletic windmills, off the backboard, from free throw line. We have seen it before and therefore becomes boring to viewers. Every player that can jump can do super athletic dunks so its not really crazy to see a player go out there and do it. AG & Lavine was the last time it was truly good. AG dunking over a mascot on a hover board was really cool, or going under his legs. But it just seems like all the cool ideas are gone. Props can be boring when you watch a guy try 3 times. What can be done to make the contest good again.

  7. Heard theyā€™re going to ā€œevaluateā€ Malā€™s knee after the all star break. I may be looking too much into this but evaluating an injury after a 3.5 week break is concerning. Please be ok our Canadian prince!!

    On a positive note, the Nuggets are back to playing like a top 5 defense with Jokic on the court and for the 1st time this season opponents are officially scoring below league average TS% in those same minutes.

  9. BroncoSquatch

    If you had to place money right now on either side, would you say Bones will have a more or less successful career than Jordan Clarkson?

  10. PoorTonyK

    Bol Bol actually played pretty well for Orlando on Thursday

  11. Imnotdrunk28

    Why is it called the All Star break when everyone gets a break? Fucking lazy ass team thinks just cause Jokic gets a break they should get one too

  12. ShowdownValue

    Any updates on Reggie? Have we signed him yet? Will he play against Dallas?

    r/denvernuggets, will you be my Valentine? We can watch Joker passing highlights together šŸ’™

  15. trevstan1

    Please please let the Kings embarress the Bums tonight.

  16. WeirdRedBeard

    Remember when Heat had a player called “Boo Yeah”?

  17. BrockSmashgood

    Here to report that the old dude in the stall beside me is having a comically hard time taking a dump, and I don’t think hearing me giggle about it helped much.

  18. _cosmix1

    The Heat announcer saying “kaboom” after a made three is surprisingly satisfying.

  19. JakeJacob

    I’m looking for a board game Ć  la Pandemic (co-op, can be played solitaire or with 2 people) to hassle my wife into playing with me. Anyone know of any good options?

  20. couponuser9

    Lol Bam gave a great response to the question about guarding Jokic is more of a challenge physically or mentally: [https://streamable.com/mu5jxv](https://streamable.com/mu5jxv)

    Really think it’s interesting how he basically said, “*if you aren’t guarding him, it’s mental. But if you are, it isn’t*”. I feel like that is actually very well put.

  21. BoneyardBill

    Lakers can’t sign Stanley Johnson. Oh no…..

    Side note if we picked him up we could have 3 former Arizona players on the team haha.

  22. FernBlueEyes

    The Joke for Today is Valentine-themed. Itā€™s also adult themed, I know this is a family sub so I hope you will make an exception. Whatā€™s better than roses on your piano? Tulips on your organ. šŸ˜‚

  23. UnderratedNightmare

    5pm today we can sign Reggie right?

  24. ShowdownValue

    I just noticed it said last nights attendance was at 100% capacity. I donā€™t think percentages work the same way in Florida as they do in the rest of the country.

  25. Puzzled_Jury4982

    Last night a certain terminator related user came into the PGT saying “whoa I must’ve fallen asleep during the game. Now I’m awake but all my comments were deleted what did I say?”

    So I told them they were complaining about the bench and Malone.

    Then they deleted the PGT comment and messaged me asking why I was “assaulting” them

  26. Imnotdrunk28

    I’m super glad KCP wasn’t wasn’t selected for the 3pt shooting contest. Him jumping a few inches off of the ground and flicking his wrist 25 times is super exhausting and he needs the rest

  27. LiilEddie

    I may not have a valentine, but the Denver Nuggets are 1st in the west šŸ„°

  28. Fun Fact: Buddy Hield has made 224 threes this year. The 2002-03 Denver Nuggets made 229

    Lakers fans are running out of scapegoats to throw into fire. First it was Vogel, then Russ, now Ham. No matter who they get rid of, they stay ass.

    When will these idiots just accept that their team is badly constructed, booty cheeks, and unsalvageable given AD street clothes tendencies and LeStatPad?

    Saw some crazy Lakers fan accounts on twitter (with a significant following too) tweet death threats/wishes to Russ and his family, and now Darvin Ham too. Despicable.

  31. about90frogs

    Do the Germans have a word for karmic diarrhea? I may have talked a little too much shit about you people’s intestinal fortitude yesterday.

  32. totally_comfortable

    the tweet about the L2M report since 2015 and the nuggets being #1 negatively affected team

    no nugs in the all star weekend except jokic

    how many important nug games are on segababa with travel

    idk bout you guys but I have def been feeling some type of way lately

  33. BoneyardBill

    The Bill Russel Documentary on the Nextflix is 10/10. I reccomend it to everyone.

    Happy Valentine’s Day. Here’s a list of the people around here I love:

    On a real note. Fuck cancer. My gf grandfather was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Everyone kinda knew something was wrong, he started struggling to walk and stand very long, but he wouldnā€™t go to hospital, he finally did and those were his results. They gave him 3 months about 3 weeks ago. He isnā€™t gonna do treatment or anything, he just kinda accepted it the best one could, he is around late 60ā€™s early 70ā€™s. But its fucking sad to see how a human could look so different in just a few weeks. I would honestly be surprised he made it to the middle of March. He looks like a skeleton, doesnā€™t eat and hardly talks. During Christmas he looked rough, but still laughed, looked familiar and was cutting up with me when I took him home that night. But now its just crazy how fast it happened. He spends his days being visited by family, smoking the last of his cigarette packs and talking about his past when he has the energy. But all I really wanted to say in this, is fuck cancer. Its such shit people gotta go through that. Sorry for everyone who ever lost someone the same way.
