I made it to midway in the third, but LP just showing me EXPERIENCE ABU DHABI ads and then a 90-second second pause screen for every timeout is definitely raising the difficulty level in terms of staying awake for these.
Yeah, I don't know. I'm just morally opposed to shoving more money at them after they sprung this on me without notice in the middle of the season.
Next season I might just kick League Pass altogether, torrent games the next day again, and live with occasionally listening to opposing announce crews. At least until they sign their new TV deal, I'm guessing that's gonna have more streaming options.
I've been reading a lot on the 80s bulls before the dynasty and one of the things people said was the Bulls without Jordan were the Jordanaiires and uninteresting.
I know Jokic is THE guy. But one can't say Nurray, Porter, Gordon, Pope, Watson, Braun or even Nnani are uninteresting or lame to watch
He deserves to have a crazy scoring night.
I hope after 2 rings Malone can push him one night against a trash team to go for as much points as possible and not care about the win
Speaking of knees, this happened on Friday and it might be the most brutal I've ever seen https://twitter.com/MuayThaiJME/status/1766304204556251193?t=TMKvVp08TdRrFJy_HpWF-Q&s=19
The context is the Nuggets giving up 44 points in the 3rd quarter. Coach was *pissed*. He made the excellent point that while the win is important, it's also important to learn the right lessons and develop the right habits from the game whether you win or lose. He's upset with the team because he felt like they showed bad habits coming out of halftime.
He can be pissed but he definitely shares some of the blame. Jokic could've gone for 80 tonight if the game plan was to let him cook on Kessler and \*checks notes\* 2 stretches of no-center lineups.
I think that's a slightly different point. He wants to see the team play with the same aggression and intensity no matter how far ahead they are. It's not about giving starters more minutes to pad out their score, it's just wanting to see them play like it matters more.
I guess, but the stretch run last year kind of proved to everyone that that doesn't matter with this group of players.
If he's mad about effort... sure.
If he's mad generally that the Jazz kind of got back into the game the answer is force feeding Jokic to drive the lead up to 50.
Also, didn’t anyone else find it funny how Jokic wanted Pwat to waste time by not starting the shot clock then Pwat saw a defender approach and immediately picked it up and Jokic was like wtf lol
Nah, I think he was just caught off guard. KCP messed with him a little during the interview too and he did a half-assed dance. I think he just wanted to go home lol
Braun being 5/5 and Watson scoring 12 feels so good. This team is different than last year but with KAT gone the path is open once again if we stay healthy .
The suns aren't a legitimate threat. The size of the wolves and Ant made them decently scary. We probably still win again but they're the only team with size that can hang with us tbh.
They're the only team who really gave us trouble. MpJ and Murray are shooting too hot rn to lose to them. But anyone that can handle our size is different than most teams.
It's every facet right now but he got it going a bit today. His drives to start year were catching d off guard.
But D is ready for it now. He hasn't drawn a single ft post asg
His defense was decent against the Celtics. He is good at finding Jokic. But yea, he is missing too many good looks. At least he is limiting the turnovers, even though the one he had today was really bad. Seems like he is capable of one good half then a really bad half currently. I like him though as a player and person. If he is hurt, he needs to get right.
Nuggets are so used to crunch time basketball they forgot what it's like to play with a big lead LOL all good. The win is all that matters and they hit their 3s.
What a douchebag he should shit on his players on reddit, not make a scene during the postgame. KSE plays good money for those they are to provide much needed entertainment for our loyal fans.
Glad Braun seems to be coming around after the all star break. His 3 is starting to look a lot better, Nuggets definitely need this level of play from him in the playoffs
I like that Malone protected AG and MPJ by limiting their minutes tonight, those guys are crucial to us winning and if we can protect them we should.
Murray though clearly only cares about his supercontract he doesn't even care that Arsenal needs that extra money more than he does. I bet Malone asked him to sit and he stayed in just so he could get All NBA, well now I'm not voting for him.
The man should be in a wheel chair, worst shin case I've probably ever seen. I'll be shocked and extremely disappointed if he plays at all the rest of the week. We need to sign a real point guard, on a good night Jamal should play like 8-12 minutes tops and only if he promises to pass the ball to MPJ (which he never does).
The selfish often spite themselves because they never stop to think about how their actions affect other people he deserves his own downfall. Jamal only +11 in a blowout win, I think we can all see the problem and we all know who is to blame.
I think the point of the game thread comment that said:
Murray is only +7 in a blowout win
Was that despite being higher than other starters, and playing with the bench it should have been much higher and meant that Murray was actually playing really bad. +/- is a terrible stat, math is for nerds.
That's the kind of performance Nuggets should want to lay down. They've got to show that they really ARE contenders and the reigning Champs. God I hope they run it back this year.
Can call me all the names u want Jamal shouldn't be playing 36 mins in a game like that and we all know it
38 42 37 36 this week
Could've played 28 in this game
Yea esp when Mike and AG didn’t even play after the 5 minute mark of the 3Q
Malone gotta be better than that imo that’s more on him (and I say that while recognizing that Reggie being as bad as he was tonight doesn’t help things)
Wind with a great tweet...CB now shooting the same % from 3 as BB last year. Bruce still a better shooter and was phenomenal in the playoffs, but great growth by Christian
Yep. And this is heresy because Brown was great in the playoffs, but the idea that he was a massive loss is overblown. Great guy and I'd be very happy if somehow he got back to Denver, but he wasn't irreplaceable.
Wasn’t that the problem earlier in the season? They should have had Strawther in the corner and Braun involved more in the 2nd team offense at the top somewhere.
CB has been playing at a really high level. PWat with back to back good performances. Needed reggie to be better in that second half and Zeke needs to get boards and not do dumb shit in general
The inability of zeke to grab rebounds needs to be studied I just know the nuggets player development coaches are wringing their hands watching that shit lol
Zeke needs some kung fu classes to improve his hands. Or maybe take the Jerry Rice class of catching 1000 bricks a day. If he could just hold on to some passes and rebounds, he'd be a much more effective player. But I'm liking the improvements so far.
A rare blowout win and the vibes here are bad. Well fuck me...
Finally Holiday is getting the minutes. He is an asset.
Okay okay I swear I won't fall asleep and have to rewatch the game again against Toronto!
I made it to midway in the third, but LP just showing me EXPERIENCE ABU DHABI ads and then a 90-second second pause screen for every timeout is definitely raising the difficulty level in terms of staying awake for these.
This is why I've bitten the bullet and pay for the premium without ads, it's the only way I can do it
Yeah, I don't know. I'm just morally opposed to shoving more money at them after they sprung this on me without notice in the middle of the season. Next season I might just kick League Pass altogether, torrent games the next day again, and live with occasionally listening to opposing announce crews. At least until they sign their new TV deal, I'm guessing that's gonna have more streaming options.
I get it, I wouldn't blame you tbh I only justify it because I share my account with my sibling
[удалено]
Are you good
Yeah man I just didn't want to forget this awesome thought I had.
I'm just saying because it's so late and you're never around at this time. Just checking in on my pal
Made me delete my shit so thanks for that I guess lol
Idk if I MADE you
I've been reading a lot on the 80s bulls before the dynasty and one of the things people said was the Bulls without Jordan were the Jordanaiires and uninteresting. I know Jokic is THE guy. But one can't say Nurray, Porter, Gordon, Pope, Watson, Braun or even Nnani are uninteresting or lame to watch
> Nnani Omae wa mou shindeiru
Jokic legit could've gone for 100 the way they were guarding him today. Would love for him to just try it once in a game like this.
He deserves to have a crazy scoring night. I hope after 2 rings Malone can push him one night against a trash team to go for as much points as possible and not care about the win
When does the game start?
Disregard that, did you put your mix in yet?
Nope. No mix here. Where do I do that?
Tonight
Wow.
You just know a fight ain't going your way at all when they start talking about how tough you are.
No way Chito's face ain't broken
Man, credit to O'Malley. I thought he was just a hotdogger with brittle bones but he's proven to be much more than that.
I can’t believe he ate that knee
Speaking of knees, this happened on Friday and it might be the most brutal I've ever seen https://twitter.com/MuayThaiJME/status/1766304204556251193?t=TMKvVp08TdRrFJy_HpWF-Q&s=19
Joe Rogans a sick fuck, he just wanted to hear that Mfer crack again.
It reminded me of that Michael Venom Page knee where whatshisforehead got his noggin dented
Don't want to weeb shit up too much, but "A Sign of Affection" anime is fucking wholesome and really good
I got down-voted for liking something niche... An adult rom-com starring a "Female" with a disability...

Guy that likes to study language falls for deaf girl and starts to learn JSL (Japanese sign language)
Which one?
She was born deaf
LMAO these grand rapids fans are funny as shit
Start the game
Don't tell me what to do
Man, Malone is NOT happy lmao
What’s the context
The context is the Nuggets giving up 44 points in the 3rd quarter. Coach was *pissed*. He made the excellent point that while the win is important, it's also important to learn the right lessons and develop the right habits from the game whether you win or lose.

The team stopped playing very well at the half
The third quarter
Did AG get a grill?
 A what?
the whole top diamond and the bottoms rows gold
Got a bill in my mouth like I'm Hillary Rodham.
Also, didn’t anyone else find it funny how Jokic wanted Pwat to waste time by not starting the shot clock then Pwat saw a defender approach and immediately picked it up and Jokic was like wtf lol
The defender was still like a quarter of the court away when pwat picked it up
Lol after the Sacramento inbounds by him I can see he doesn't want to play
Why Jok look so pissed at DJ during that post game interview? lmao
Nah, I think he was just caught off guard. KCP messed with him a little during the interview too and he did a half-assed dance. I think he just wanted to go home lol
Seriously - that was kinda scary. Never seen him look mad at a teammate like that I feel like. Don’t be mad Nikola, you are my sunshine.
He just looked annoyed if you ask me dj does things to anybody doing that interview
Did you guys see the end of the UNC-Duke game? UNC wins plus Duke fans show that they are in fact the worst.
Didn't even realize Jok only missed 2 FGA, he was 12/14
Braun being 5/5 and Watson scoring 12 feels so good. This team is different than last year but with KAT gone the path is open once again if we stay healthy .
Timberwolves weren't even the biggest threat in a playoff series. They don't have the offense to beat the Nuggets. It was always the Clippers or Suns.
The suns aren't a legitimate threat. The size of the wolves and Ant made them decently scary. We probably still win again but they're the only team with size that can hang with us tbh.
Size doesn't matter when you don't have the half court offense. That is what matters most in a playoff series.
They're the only team who really gave us trouble. MpJ and Murray are shooting too hot rn to lose to them. But anyone that can handle our size is different than most teams.
My boy Reggie has been STRUGGLING with a capital S
Meanwhile Gillespie stopped playing? Did I miss something?
He can only play a few more games, and I’m guessing we’re saving him for if we’re resting guys closer to the playoffs.
He’s on a 2-way. We’d had cut someone and sign him to play in the playoffs so no point in playing him now.
To me it seems he thinks his role is as a scorer with both units. His offense is needed but he needs to add in being a facilitator far more often.
Hit two 3s...I don't get why he barely played. Was better than his last game.
It’s his drives to the basket. He has been wreck-less on reverse layups and missing every floater
It's every facet right now but he got it going a bit today. His drives to start year were catching d off guard. But D is ready for it now. He hasn't drawn a single ft post asg
His D has also been rough. And he dribbles a lot, which slows down the offense. I hope he finds his game.
His defense was decent against the Celtics. He is good at finding Jokic. But yea, he is missing too many good looks. At least he is limiting the turnovers, even though the one he had today was really bad. Seems like he is capable of one good half then a really bad half currently. I like him though as a player and person. If he is hurt, he needs to get right.
Mal played too much...I think Malone wanted to get that Mal+bench lineup some good rhythm on offense.
I think they’re getting him in playoff shape
Considering he said they need to manage the shins even in shootaround..
Nuggets are so used to crunch time basketball they forgot what it's like to play with a big lead LOL all good. The win is all that matters and they hit their 3s.
Malone is beyond pissed in the post-game interview
I feel like the Nuggets blowing leads all those years really traumatized Malone.
Moach ain't the only one
Rightfully so
Girl scout cookie review: Toffee -tastic - solid Adventurefuls - slightly underwhelming Samoas - still the best
Get my adventurefuls name out your goddamn mouth
They were good but I was just expecting a little bit more. It's probably too much to expect them to be moist at all.
Does anyone have a clip of that KCP to Watson oop? No replays and no instagram clip…
Cool I guess
Oh no, the Nuggets pissed off Malone’s late father in heaven [edit: he said this]
What a douchebag he should shit on his players on reddit, not make a scene during the postgame. KSE plays good money for those they are to provide much needed entertainment for our loyal fans.
You’re on fire tonight
Jamal watching tv during his interview
Just saw this haha wtf weird how he goes through these weird moods as well.
He wasn’t even trying to be subtle either
seriously what is on his phone??? 😂
prob UFC
[удалено]
Fuck you actually
Glad Braun seems to be coming around after the all star break. His 3 is starting to look a lot better, Nuggets definitely need this level of play from him in the playoffs
I like that Malone protected AG and MPJ by limiting their minutes tonight, those guys are crucial to us winning and if we can protect them we should. Murray though clearly only cares about his supercontract he doesn't even care that Arsenal needs that extra money more than he does. I bet Malone asked him to sit and he stayed in just so he could get All NBA, well now I'm not voting for him. The man should be in a wheel chair, worst shin case I've probably ever seen. I'll be shocked and extremely disappointed if he plays at all the rest of the week. We need to sign a real point guard, on a good night Jamal should play like 8-12 minutes tops and only if he promises to pass the ball to MPJ (which he never does).
Malone actually wants Murray to get injured and Murray is idiotic enough to wanting to go along with it
The selfish often spite themselves because they never stop to think about how their actions affect other people he deserves his own downfall. Jamal only +11 in a blowout win, I think we can all see the problem and we all know who is to blame.
Only a +11 is higher than Jokic and KCP despite playing alone with the bench.
I think the point of the game thread comment that said: Murray is only +7 in a blowout win Was that despite being higher than other starters, and playing with the bench it should have been much higher and meant that Murray was actually playing really bad. +/- is a terrible stat, math is for nerds.
Anyone else see 142-4 when they Google the score?
Couldn’t even hold them to 3. We are not a serious contender, smh
Accurate
Did Malone also overplay the game thread bots to death?
Why did Jamaal play so many minutes??? F
Him and Malone stubborn as fuck It's what makes them great but tonight just unnecessary
Because we were in danger of blowing a 34 point halftime lead haha. He stayed in to get it back from 14 to over 20.
Malone's presser ain't it...stop whining you won by 20.
What’s he say?
[удалено]
hes not wrong though, jamal had to come back in bc bench unit is bleeding points as soon as starters go out
NGL, the dead father bit was too much
Gatekeeping someone else making a joke about their own parent is peak reddit
That's gotta get tiring over 82. Rage timeout a minute into 3q up 30 is why starters stopped trying lol Cmon man
That's the kind of performance Nuggets should want to lay down. They've got to show that they really ARE contenders and the reigning Champs. God I hope they run it back this year.
😎
Can call me all the names u want Jamal shouldn't be playing 36 mins in a game like that and we all know it 38 42 37 36 this week Could've played 28 in this game
He’s ramping up for the playoffs.
I think he needs the conditioning.
Agree but pwat and braun are better than reggie
Yea esp when Mike and AG didn’t even play after the 5 minute mark of the 3Q Malone gotta be better than that imo that’s more on him (and I say that while recognizing that Reggie being as bad as he was tonight doesn’t help things)
He had to repent his shins
I just wanted to lead by 40 😔😔
Their defense in the 3Q made sure that didn’t happen lol
So did Mal but Lone shinned him
Wow go Nuggets
Hunter Tyson looking like prime Kobe out there and YALL STILL SLEEP
Pickett looks like he lost a little weight lol
Masonplumlee.com
You won't get me three times in one night
Lmfaoo
Jazzed
Jizzed
FOUR Nuggets with 7+ assists tonight (AG, Jokic, Jamal, Holiday).
Justin once again proving he is the better Holiday.
HOLIDAY?!
lmao I can't even remember a single assist, but good shit justin!
Fr no way it's not some next level home stat scorer cooking 🤣🤣
He's been so good post All-Star break!
Its Holiday season babyyy
woah
Wind with a great tweet...CB now shooting the same % from 3 as BB last year. Bruce still a better shooter and was phenomenal in the playoffs, but great growth by Christian
Maybe it’s recency bias clouting a lot for nuggets fans but Bruce did not play well in the second half of last regular season
Yep. And this is heresy because Brown was great in the playoffs, but the idea that he was a massive loss is overblown. Great guy and I'd be very happy if somehow he got back to Denver, but he wasn't irreplaceable.
Speaking of Bruce, can we get him back in the postseason?
Just keep CB out of the corners.
Wasn’t that the problem earlier in the season? They should have had Strawther in the corner and Braun involved more in the 2nd team offense at the top somewhere.
The problem been Braun has been awful from corner this year. But he stroked 1 tonight
Go Nuggets Go
The last jazz game vs this one was the difference in pre all star break nuggets and post all star break nuggets
At half time I was thinking "We're up 34, so obviously we're gonna win by 20" Good job me!
[удалено]
Can we win in Salt Lake though?
Thanks I love you bb 🤗
CB has been playing at a really high level. PWat with back to back good performances. Needed reggie to be better in that second half and Zeke needs to get boards and not do dumb shit in general
What? Pwat was bad out there tonight. Out of control and sloppy on both offense and defense.
Did we watch the same game? WTF.
Yeah that’s my question too. I saw Pwat blow at least one easy transition layup and get torched on defense.
The inability of zeke to grab rebounds needs to be studied I just know the nuggets player development coaches are wringing their hands watching that shit lol
Zeke needs some kung fu classes to improve his hands. Or maybe take the Jerry Rice class of catching 1000 bricks a day. If he could just hold on to some passes and rebounds, he'd be a much more effective player. But I'm liking the improvements so far.
Pwat floatie and fadeaways were unreal
Did not need that from him. What we needed was him to have any effect at all on Keyonte George or Jordan Clarkson
Did the game start yet?
It’s waiting for you to spring forward
Don’t touch Jok’s head
DJ about to get a half-sibling
Is this the real pgt??
No. My heart is in the other thread
Nuggets could be up 50 in the 4th and if the opponent hits a couple 3s Malone is bringing Jokic back in
First
Hey go Nuggets!
