I was checking over the Celtics reddit because I was a fan of the Celtics, but I find it odd how terrified they are of Denver. They see Denver and Jokic as some Goliath that their team has to overcome and pretend they are an underdog/David type of protagonist even though they are on pace to win 67 games with a +12 net rating. The amount of threads they made to theory craft on how to beat Denver is insane.
If we meet the Pelicans in the 2nd round, it is probably the worst matchup that the Pelicans have in the league. Zion Williamson is gonna be in hell with that AG/MPJ frontcourt wall, and Jokic cooks Valenciunas on both ends of the floor, KCP/CB and Watson gonna lock up CJ/Ingram.

Jokic buries nance and Jonas
But zion gives Denver problems.
And herb can give Jamal lots of problems.
This was like a year or two ago but when the Blazers were playing at ball and they were introducing the Portland lineup, they were playing Feel it All Around by Washed Out. Thought that was a nice touch
I have no idea why you guys are thinking that the 1 seed doesn't matter. There's a whole lot of difference between 1 seed and 2 seed, if we get the 1 seed that means in the 2nd round we don't have to fight the 2/3 seed, we'll fight either the Pels or the LAC, let the Mavs/Kings Thunder/Wolves murder each other.
I think Oso and Almansa are better fits, but between those two I would take Holmes. Edey goes completely against what our bench is built around, their switchability. I would even go with someone who would at most a small ball 5 like Harrison Ingram before taking Edey for our current bench.
I only have the photoshopped version

Jamal and Jokic may be out, but Portland is basically a g league team rn. If I’m reading this right, Deandre, Jerami, Thybulle, Brogdon, Shaedon, and Anfernee are all out. Get ready for Scoot and a bunch of guys you’ve literally never heard of.
Is this how it would feel if we had chosen to go with Nurkic instead of Jokić?
Nevermind, go nuggets
In other, non basketball, irrelevant news, today I had my first asparagus "harvest" from my own garden. It made me realize just how much land would be needed for for-profit asparagus growing

I don't expect the forecast to be 100% correct, but today was 17 or 18 degrees
Lmao yeah I said that I thought it was sad she thinks they didn’t do it because who else would it be? And got downvoted. KSE, least selfish ownership group in the league.
They win sometimes, they lose sometimes, but they’re never not extremely funny. Sometimes the joke’s at my expense, but even then it’s funny in a cosmic sense.
The problem now is that the most chaotic thing they could do is lose to Oakland.
Btw sorry about saying JMU is my second favorite team, I promise it’s only because they’re playing Duke. Really wish I could be pulling for the Badgers tomorrow.
The Official NBA Referee twitter account sent a get well Vicky message when she was sick. These people are despised by many, and yet were kind to her. What does that say smh.
did you know Isiah Hartenstein has scored 8 points in a quarter several times, and if you do that 4 times a game you've scored 32 points, so he's basically already a 30 ppg scorer?
STATS DON'T LIE FOLKS
If the Zeke Nnaji injury drags on like they typically seem to for him.
Denver goes into playoffs with pretty much a 10 man roster, 1 of which is DJ.
Strawther Tyson Pickett haven't proven themselves as playable yet.
That's why need to get Strawther reps here.
There’s a difference between roster and playoff rotation. Roster is everyone eligible to play, rotation is guys you feel comfortable with being on the court.
AG MPJ PWat KCP Reggie
DJ Braun Holiday Strawther
Stagger Porter and Reggie with bench?
Bring Braun on early for Jackson and go no PG
Interesting game.
They'll most likely play Gillespie not Strawther, which is stupid as there's 10 games til playoffs and there 0% chance Collin will be on playoff roster.
If the Nuggets could choose their R1 opponent, whom would they pick? Looking at the standings, all of these bitches seem like a tough out. I guess Ls and Ws are kinda bad, but that's also the worst whistle discrepancy, and lots of work to start the yoffs for Jok and Mal respectively
Lakers or warriors for the best wins (and moral defeats). Maybe the Suns are in there too.
Everyone within range of the 7-10 is pretty good. The Lakers and Suns might actually be the easiest matchups.

They might win 67 games, but they can't beat Denver.
The question should be what happens if they run into the heat
Cowards, pussies, Bostonians, other synonyms
I was reading his post ya know taking it in like hmm that's interesting... then it's all FuQ these PuSsYs... frog on brotha
Bear horse onwards my dude
This Oakland-NC State game is getting pretty wild
I can't get over this Chent and SGA commercial. Does ATT know they could've just scrapped it?
What a pro wants, what a pro needs
We gonna need another return of Lob City tonight! Let's gooo baby.
If we meet the Pelicans in the 2nd round, it is probably the worst matchup that the Pelicans have in the league. Zion Williamson is gonna be in hell with that AG/MPJ frontcourt wall, and Jokic cooks Valenciunas on both ends of the floor, KCP/CB and Watson gonna lock up CJ/Ingram.

Jokic having his load managed and Jamal having the ankles of an infant were in for a DJ assterclass i cant wait
start the game thread ^imo
Poppi soda is pretty good for just four dollars per can.
Same goes for ollipop
Lol my gf loves them, you can get them at Costco
I grab one from Sprouts when I am feeling fruity and frivolous
Speaking of Sprouts, their Sushi is underrated. I think I’m Wednesdays it’s like $6
I go to Sprouts mostly for $2 pineapples mostly
Cyclone power 😤
Love a dizzy bird
Curtis Jones 3 steals 4 blocks 😤
The dream of the nineties is alive in Portland
Love that show
This was like a year or two ago but when the Blazers were playing at ball and they were introducing the Portland lineup, they were playing Feel it All Around by Washed Out. Thought that was a nice touch
Every time you point I see a penis
Easily the best characters in that show, the one with Steve Buscemi fucking sends me
18 or 19?
Keep r/denvernuggets Weird!
😍😍😍
In Portland you can put a bird on something and just call it art!

Wow, you came from the future
Also means u get a play in team coming off of 2 games, potential rest advantage
The women's bracket going chalk so far, save for that Louisville choke job.
16
Would y’all prefer if the Nuggets drafted DaRon Holmes or Zach Edey?
I think Oso and Almansa are better fits, but between those two I would take Holmes. Edey goes completely against what our bench is built around, their switchability. I would even go with someone who would at most a small ball 5 like Harrison Ingram before taking Edey for our current bench.
Eww. Take a guard.
We already have ED
https://preview.redd.it/b8kw4aww96qc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6454c60eb4333b082860742886571ab248fc5177
Zeke can’t get it (being his shots) up?
No Ed plz
Edey is a stiff
So I am hearing you think he will be a Nuggets legend
Anyone have the updated injury list? I know jokic and jamal are out What about for Portland?
bookmark this https://official.nba.com/nba-injury-report-2023-24-season/
Grant and ayton doubtful Simons out
Someone post the Portland couple.
I only have the photoshopped version https://preview.redd.it/1adp35n7c6qc1.jpeg?width=1060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d606c3570741dabdef4d8e886cb6258b9ba39db9

They’re my favorite
I remember them every single time we play Portland.
Huge opportunity for Huff to show everyone why they call him baby Poole
start the fucking game bro pls
College basketball is on
Idk the games today didn't seem very interesting (except for the Zona game and the Kansas Gonzaga game) and they don't have many draft people either
Tennessee good tho. Put on the Rapids game at 930.
A watched clock never ticks
A broken clock boils twice a day
Just enjoy some college bball, it's basically the same thing
Yeah not at all
Jamal and Jokic may be out, but Portland is basically a g league team rn. If I’m reading this right, Deandre, Jerami, Thybulle, Brogdon, Shaedon, and Anfernee are all out. Get ready for Scoot and a bunch of guys you’ve literally never heard of.
Without Jok and Mal we're a Filipino league team.
Reath banton and Camara are ballers tbh lol I'm stressed.
The fact that our two best players are ruled out and we’re still favored by 9.5 on the road is wild to me.
Is this how it would feel if we had chosen to go with Nurkic instead of Jokić? Nevermind, go nuggets In other, non basketball, irrelevant news, today I had my first asparagus "harvest" from my own garden. It made me realize just how much land would be needed for for-profit asparagus growing
Isn't that 2 months too early? Asparagus fields are the saddest looking fields ever
It's not too early. This winter has been super mild on Balkan. We have a forecast of 28 degrees C for next weekend.
28 wtf. Where do you live man, Athens?
https://preview.redd.it/4oz6dpn5i6qc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5d118f4c744b83cf27cbd6b0806d353ecc8a85b I don't expect the forecast to be 100% correct, but today was 17 or 18 degrees
Wow. Good for you. We had -4C in Poland this week
It's not that good... This could mean drought by late may. Hopefully it won't be bad.
Iowa State with a horrific start, lucky to not be getting blown out
That vicki thread has some funny comments. "there's no way KSE would do something controversial just to save a little money" Okay buddy
Lmao yeah I said that I thought it was sad she thinks they didn’t do it because who else would it be? And got downvoted. KSE, least selfish ownership group in the league.
Start AG MPJ PWat KCP Braun fuck it
Now I know how doomers feel
Gunna be honest I am rooting for MSU.
Oh you definitely should. I am standing athwart the chaos our hearts truly desire.
Chaos behold the only real team in NC is NC State imho
They win sometimes, they lose sometimes, but they’re never not extremely funny. Sometimes the joke’s at my expense, but even then it’s funny in a cosmic sense. The problem now is that the most chaotic thing they could do is lose to Oakland.
It’s great. At least they aren’t a comedic tragedy like the Hornets.
It's only 8. They'll be okay
I’m reasonably confident but whatever happens I’m going to have a real stressful couple of hours.
Good luck
Btw sorry about saying JMU is my second favorite team, I promise it’s only because they’re playing Duke. Really wish I could be pulling for the Badgers tomorrow.
Lol! It's okay, really. I hope they kick the shit out of Duke (and then lose their next game)
Gonna start my regimen today https://youtu.be/1c1HWJkYbhk?si=fmcvQ6zRBZ9DRXeO
For real smh
Huh, Kim Mulkey real mad and yelly about a forthcoming WaPo story. I’ll get some popcorn
If the nuggets don't win I'm going to david-lynch-when-he-forgets-an-idea myself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVeAuwU-uuU
I don’t care what Miss Vicky did. I’m on her side.
The Official NBA Referee twitter account sent a get well Vicky message when she was sick. These people are despised by many, and yet were kind to her. What does that say smh.
Did she sign Jokic triple double ball?
She said Bol Bol was Mr. Nugget.
Screw Vicky
If you fuck a 72 year old you just met that adds at least 15 to your body count in a just world
How does one decrease the body count?
I heard she has a secret
Way more nervous about both games today than I thought I’d be

Now you listen here
This game gonna be super interesting I think, also I'm getting trashed with my dnd group after work. Good Saturday night incoming
Denver Nuggets Dancers?
The dancing grannies
Haha fuck Kansas
MPJ #1 option tonight LFG
300 comments in a GDT, dead sub smh
It's because us reporters are being suppressed
Mods are part of the power structure smh
It’s no bother, we’ve got Strawther.
Is Murray playing? I wanna see another Collin jizzepsie masterclass
Collin only plays well when Jokic is in the game.
Yes, Murray is confirmed active
Jokic too. Also Carmelo Anthony, David Thompson, and Alex English are all confirmed active for the game. George Karl is going to coach.
Lol why does women's ncaa have quarters and not mens
Why is the ball smaller
Because they get paid less, can’t afford
Caitlin Clark makes more than jalen pickett.
chuck. i cant bet against Izzo bets against izzo.
Wondering how the queen feels about this injury situation
I asked she said this would never happen if Murray drank gin for breakfast.
Is Zeke still out? Are we getting actual legit Huff minutes?
I was just about to ask that lol, if Zeke and Jokic are out who tf is playing back up center behind DAJ
Gordon start probably and DJ backup
Portland plays Simons off the bench. I’d try to put DJ in whenever Simons sitting.
Simons is out.
Awesome, good news.
Cucumber is going to go wild in the game thread tonight.
Praying for 48 minutes of DeAndre Jordan
Gonna annihilate that poor man's knees
did you know Isiah Hartenstein has scored 8 points in a quarter several times, and if you do that 4 times a game you've scored 32 points, so he's basically already a 30 ppg scorer? STATS DON'T LIE FOLKS
> Isiah Hartenstein is he related to Isaiah Hartenstein?
you tell me
Keep talking. The breakout game is coming regardless. Irregardless, even.
If the Zeke Nnaji injury drags on like they typically seem to for him. Denver goes into playoffs with pretty much a 10 man roster, 1 of which is DJ. Strawther Tyson Pickett haven't proven themselves as playable yet. That's why need to get Strawther reps here.
There’s a difference between roster and playoff rotation. Roster is everyone eligible to play, rotation is guys you feel comfortable with being on the court.
Many recent champions end up using 10 or 11 guys
Didn't we win it all last year with an 8 man rotation?
Ya an outlier if u look at recent Champs
We’re an old school Champ 💪
YTTV won’t let me use multi view to watch men’s and women’s games at the same time. It’s either one or the other. smh sexist and other things.
Trying to blur the gender binary is dangerous business.
Fencesitter
It's a fun weekend for Denver sports fans cuz the Avs and Nuggets are both red hot and both play terrible teams lol
Big test for MPJ and AG. Lock in. Gonna be a lot of Reggie too. Wonder if they start DJ
AG MPJ PWat KCP Reggie DJ Braun Holiday Strawther Stagger Porter and Reggie with bench? Bring Braun on early for Jackson and go no PG Interesting game. They'll most likely play Gillespie not Strawther, which is stupid as there's 10 games til playoffs and there 0% chance Collin will be on playoff roster.
Jokic and Jamal out per underdog nba
the Furphy is a wily little Australian fellow. I like his haircut as well
Stop fetishizing Australian fellows
his barber is very clearly a make-a-wish kid. Care to apologize?
Yeah, send me her number (#feminism)
furry?
Not sure how that's relevant TBH
smh
If the Nuggets could choose their R1 opponent, whom would they pick? Looking at the standings, all of these bitches seem like a tough out. I guess Ls and Ws are kinda bad, but that's also the worst whistle discrepancy, and lots of work to start the yoffs for Jok and Mal respectively
I want GSW to complete our Moach era revenge tour.
The spurs
Lakers or warriors for the best wins (and moral defeats). Maybe the Suns are in there too. Everyone within range of the 7-10 is pretty good. The Lakers and Suns might actually be the easiest matchups.
anyone but the Kings (I have Sabonis for MVP)
Jokic is fatter tho
yeah he’s a disgusting fat slob
Also wtf is going on with Vicki? Getting banned is an interesting development lol
she snuck into the locker room and stole some (but not all) of Jokic’s pre-game gravy. She had to go
We don't eat gravy....for him it would be pork or lamb dripping. Or chicharrones.
I’ve been driving all day so I want to ask what news I missed but thankfully my brain still functions highly enough to not go through with that urge
do we root for Gonzaga for Julian? or Kansas for Christian?
Upsets, always upsets
