Jalen green IS the Dunkstronaut
Obviously Sengun hasn’t been playing great but good that the team has stepped up around him.
# KEEP THAT FOOT ON THE GAS
Porter you fool
TRILLON THE VILLAIN
jesus right after KCP gets them a decent bucket what a brutal 3 from the villain to take away any momentum and then THE DUNKSTRONAUT IS IN ORBIT
THE DUNKSTRONAUGHT
sengun needs to stop leading the fastbreak everytime
Call that fucking hold refs
Legit surprised Jalen didn’t get T’d there for the staredown
# SEX SEX SEX
💚 2 🔫
Lmao, surprised he didn’t get t’d up again
THIS IS YOUR CHAMPION
Have we dunked this much all season?
Seems like a lot in just the first half this game! 🤩
Green doing it all this game!
SENGUN WHAT
Easy
Amazing that all the vets we sign this off-season (-Jock) are so impactful
TF was that shot from MPJ? How the hell did that go in lmao
Somebody give oxygen mask to Alpi
ALPEREN SLAMGUN
I just checked the score wtf is happening
Jokic dropping the prime Jermaine O’Neal by halftime is crazy

That was actually a sick pass to the corner by Gordon
Jokic is actually insane wtf thank god the rest of their team sucks
Alp cannot breath:)
# WE ARE THE BLUEPRINT NOW
Really bad ending to the quarter. Took idiotic shots and didn’t fight through screens. Overall great though.
This is nitpicking but I don’t like leaving FVV out that entire time to end the half
Can’t believe Sengun doing this on NNN you’re crazy
Ya gotta love it.
A seventeen point lead on the reigning champs … Udoka for COTY
Jalen, Dillon and Jabari gotta relax some times. Plays where you got nowhere to go will bring the champs back into the game. Hope we’re more disciplined with that in the coming months.
Jokic needs to request a trade to like the warriors or something I feel bad for him his bench is awful
Gerald Green was more talented and smarter than Jalen Green
I do feel like there were like 2-3 separate uncalled fouls on that last possession but for the last minute to go like that and still be up 17 is fucking wild we take those
Alpi played 21 minutes out of 24, he is on fumes right now haha. And he is trying to contain Jokic on defense no less, impressive
Senguns defense hasnt been bad Jokic is just HIM and noone else is doing anything on the nugs. if jokic has 50 on 35 shots we should still win !!
I’m still traumatized from the last couple of years where the few times we had big leads we blow it 95% of the time it felt like
Like it’s a 17 point lead rn and we’ve dominated and I still feel very worried
Turns out the defense against Jokic triple double is the rest of Denver not making shots lol
If this team learns to win on the road, the league is forked!
Green had like 10 seconds to go for 2 for 1, and ended up with a horrible turnover and not even going for 2 for 1. Don’t understand that
#LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOO
UP 17 ON THE WORLD CHAMPS IDGAF IF IT IS HALFTIME!!! WE USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS
This half is as Clyde succinctly puts it: “Like clubbing baby seals”. Don’t let up now!
Nah, I think the plan is to make Jokic make shots. Midrange and threes. He looked really tired last game with this strat.
Just tuning in!! Looks like we are being good! How is Dillon doing so far?
Bro the goddamn guy who does the nba.com top 10 highlights called jalen josh green every time
Non jokic players shooting 20% overall from the floor. Amazing
