    Steve Kerr tears are hilarious. What a petty little bitch.

  2. petarisawesomeo

    AG with his best game as a Nugg. Maybe needs to get attacked by dogs more often?

  3. yesihaveasweettooth

    I have a new free throw idea. Played fouled on two point shot – team gets to choose either a) automatic one point earned or b) take a single free throw that’s worth 2 points. Miss it = 0 points

  4. Bradleys_Chubb

    I turned the game off when we went down by 5 in the first qtr, what’d I miss?

  5. dankygarry

    I wanna kiss nikola on the mouth. Thanks for cashing that parlayyyy

  6. andonemoreagain

    Jesus Christ this is the best I’ve felt after a nuggets game since June. Watching those warriors fans walk out of the arena.

  7. MongoPushr

    Whose got the Jokic durag photo? Need that in the thread

  8. ImProbablySleepin

    I can’t believe MacKinnon wasn’t the highlight of the night for Denver

  9. Any-Squirrel-6639

    I wonder what that kid who made the “too small” finger reaction to that Jamal foul on Kuminga, thought about Jokic’s shot. I need that information

  10. WeirdRedBeard

    Some genuine takeaways from the game:

    * I thought Jok’s defense was fucking atrocious. I guess I like that he kept moving out of the way to not pick up bullshit ass fouls that removed Mal from the game, but bro was horrible. Held his own on the perimeter against the toughest and smallest covers in the L tho, that was kinda nuts

    * Treyton Watson’s confidence is really fun to watch developing each game, that coast to coast slam was like some Giannis shit, it didn’t feel out of control as most everything he did felt at the start of the season, and it was never in doubt he’ll cunt it as soon as he reaches the FT line. Idk how sustainable the 3s are, but fuck it, they’re falling rn

    * AG fucking wrecks Warriors without Draymondo. Curious to see if this boosts his confidence for the matchup with the Donkey ass motherfucker

    * Cowabunga jumping into dudes for automatic shooting fouls is fucking wild. Like, imagine Peyton Watson jumping into Steph 4 times and shooting 8 FTs for it lmao. Pod Chomsky also hunts charges drawn, their announcers have this weird fetish about how good he is at that. I guess Kerr didn’t see any replays of that

    * Mal didn’t fucking miss once he got mad, we could’ve had a 40 piece

    * Staph highkey looks like trash against us since we got KCPoop

    * Clay had the best game in ages, and he’s still the king and queen of being washed as fuck

    * Mike looked kinda sharp on offense, I feel like he takes this matchup personally

  11. Betaateb

    Poor one out for the people that went to bed in the 3rd quarter.

  12. snakejakemonkey

    Watson and MPJ should be the guys carrying bench

    They’ve shown good chemistry before

    Like that Porter was still amped on bench but his deployment sucks

  13. watching the buzzer beater in person was amazing

  14. n0t_malstroem

    I’m sure at some point in the future there’s gonna be a player that is better than Nikola Jokic. But there will never be another player like Nikola Jokic again

  15. ApplesAndToothpicks

    Kerr salty ass called Watson’s 3 the shot of the game lmao he really does hate Jokic. Not just tonight, the free throw comments last game were targeted 100%, he hates Jokic’s guts.

    Seethe, bitchass Kerrorist 😂

  16. petarisawesomeo

    I hate the Warriors so much… especially Steph. This feels so good.

  17. BoneyardBill

    Curry looking like Alvin in on that reaction clip

  18. SailorTakeWarning

    I am so thankful that I am alive in the same time period that Nikola Jokić is in his prime, playing basketball. It is truly a treat to watch this man play night in and night out, and I will never take it for granted. The man is truly a one of one, a type of player and person you’d only see once every century.

  19. snakejakemonkey

    You reckon Reggie is banged up? His level slipped a bit since he’s been on injury report

    Rest him and see what we got with Collin or Pickett over next bit maybe

  20. yesihaveasweettooth

    Is it possible to start a social media campaign to get some obscure player who’s checked in like 3 minutes this season a spot on the all star team since you can vote many times as you want?

  21. ASingleThreadofGold

    Draymond know who to hit😅 Chuck.

  22. m0userat_

    What a fucking wild game man lmao I’m still entirely too hype

  23. ScrewuGuysImGoingHme

    I love Jokic and Nate so much being a indoor Colorado sports fan is so much fun

  24. petarisawesomeo

    Both games on TNT were fantastic. Great showcase for the league.

  25. SnooDonuts9093

    I hope we can catch the 2023 Denver Nuggets. I hear they have a lot of b2b’s coming up

  26. tarspaceheel

    Pretty sure we’re gonna lose by 20 tomorrow and I don’t care. (I will care tomorrow)

  27. kamikazemelonman

    Watching denver vs teams like Detroit or NYK before the OG trade really shows the power of spacing on offense.

    Even on nights when mike and Pope can’t shoot at their normal rate, the floor is SO open for Murray and Jokic relative to Brunson/Randle or Cade. Best two man game this century and they have space to do it? absurd.

    Pwat might be the 4th best player on the team in 2 years
