MPJ/Jokic we’re both struggling to hit tonight and we still won. Feels good.
Man Reggie missing 2fts and then that stupid foul + Jokic turnover, glad we won at the end 😃
​

This is how I feel now
It got sweaty at the end but fuck the goddamn Clippers lmao
NOBODY BEATS THE DENVER NUGGETS IN THE NBA IN SEASON TOURNAMENT. THE MOST IMPORTANT TOURNAMENT IN BASKETBALL HISTORY
Been a big critic of Reggie, but this was his best game as a Nugget. Playing within the offense and being efficient.
Broncos and Nuggets with the back to back ugly wins, and I love every moment of it.
3rd Sombor Double of the season?
Jok shooting 35% feels like 5%
Hey great game…..
Can we shelve these jerseys for like forever though??? They ugly af.
I won $500 on that game it’s time to get high
Dude, that wedgie could not have been more comedic. Chef’s kiss
Jokic with that Embiid type of game (aka his worst game of the season)
That wedgie is going to get a million comments on r/nba
Let’s go boys
Phew
Warriors choked away the game against the ‘Wolves. God damn it.
we already got our championship now let’s get the real prize: the NBA cup
Reggie Jackson >>>> Reggie Miller
Shoutouts to Reggie for being a (mostly) stable positive contribution in an otherwise putrid game of basketball
Ty Lewd pretty much won us the game with that 3-4 min stretch where bro had Kawaii and Pee Gee defending Jokic lol retire his jersey
Lol we fucking own the clippers ass
What a goofy ahh ending
Good comeback game from the bench especially CB
KCP was great against PG down the stretch, Paul George with an all-time mega moron maneuver taking all those mega contested threes in the last couple of minutes, they are not a serious franchise.
I miss Jamal 🙁
NBA really didn’t want the clips to go 0-6. Not the nuggets best game but every iffy call seemed to go to the clips
Unusual off night for Jokic. Bench played a little bit better but long way to go for them. Good to see Pickett get some run vs superstars. He played really well in the 1st half but struggled hard in the 2nd. It is part of the rookie roller coaster. Now we have a rematch with Jordan Hawkins again. Hopefully Reggie doesn’t get torched this time around
GG nuggets bros! What a game. Hopefully we can get a bit better chemistry before we play again 🤝
Seriously when do we hear about the Nuggets sending video into the league office about shitty officiating
Ty Lue on the sideline for the last 4 minutes watching Jok clown anyone they throw at him just thinking ‘Man I wish I had a 7ft big man to put on him. Huge bonus if he was familiar with eastern European style of play.’
Even with the refs **desperately** trying to hand the game to the Clippers, we still win. Take that NBA
Booooooom baby!
Worst Jokic shooting game I’ve seen in like a year. Still puts up 32/16/9 LOL.
YESSIR! Avs, Broncos and Nuggets all win in 2 day period
You can tell why Reggie and Jokic have the best plus minus
Sloppy win but a win without Murray is always a good thing
Reggie with the highest +/- on the team was not expected but totally welcome.
Keep it up big gov.
Reggie Jackson and Braun are going to be fantastic 6/7th men
Clippers’ 2 PGs combined for 7 assists. Our C and PF had 14. Lol.
I’m so conflicted… I’m happy we won but I needed Jokic to score literally 1 less point and I would have won my parlay which had a huge payout
Jokic played awful for most of the game and still puts up 32/16/9
Worst officiating I’ve seen in years. Get fucked refs
That PG shot to tie is a perfect encapsulation of the Clippers season, or dare I say, the Clippers as a franchise.
Even with the refs **desperately** trying to hand the game to the Clippers, we still win. Take that NBA
Booooooom baby!
Jokic is like Thanos to the west. Good luck beating 4 times in a playoff series
Somber double 😔 but W 😁
F the announcers, F the refs, all the Nuggets are good
