fill me in guys what is that Jamal statline, is he doing Gandhi roleplay or did he get injured?
I just want dudes that we try to develop, and it’s sustainable,” Booth said. “If it costs us the chance to win a championship this year, so be it. It’s worth the investment. It’s more about winning three out of six, three out of seven, four out of eight than it is about trying to go back-to-back.”
I did not enjoy that
Undefined Undefined
First consecutive losses since that 3-game losing streak in early December. Hope they show up and take care of business against Sac who will play on a segababa.
Hello, Nuggs fan coming in peace. I’m here for overreactions
I really wonder how some of you function day to day. I feel like if anything bad happens, you would have a meltdown
I spent money to go watch that game in person. Everyone laugh at me
Jamal got locked down tonight, when can we start asking questions about him for this losing streak
Deandre Jordan and Christian Braun might be the worst two players in the league that get consistent minutes for a contender. Two blowouts back to back and 5 in a span of a month. Playing KCP to get him hurt again what are our coaches doing?
My life is over
Getting stomped two games in a row is a real bummer
If Malone could be serious for once we could win. 😡
You can never know when to trust the regular season Nuggets
FUCKING NEVER
NUGGETS WIN!
Been boatraced by
Minny Houston OKC Utah Knicks Sac Milwaukee
5 of those since January
And they rarely blow out bottom feeders
It’s another Jokic carry job this year
I just dont like how Denver approaches road games man. 0 intensity. I’m sure they will end up with a 55-27 game record for the 2nd seed.
I think they should forfeit the season
Win or lose, it’s getting kinda anyone that lately when we go down 10 I can just assume it’s a 20pt lose incoming…
What happened to Jamal? Sorry tuning in late here because nba tv froze and I have no clue why he didn’t play the second half
Over our last 10 games we are 6/4
Lost by 38 to the Knicks
Lost by 29 to the Kings
Lost by 17 to the Bucks
The last time we beat a team by 20+ was December 28th when we rocked the Grizzlies 142-105. Not only does this team seem to get absolutely smoked more this year than they did last year but we basically never blow any of these other teams out.
So, who you guys want to win between the tree corgis and the flippers?
Personally, I hope the wolves win, then lose tomorrow.
Nugs need to focus on health, but no buy-out market?
I *may* want the Clips to win tonight just to keep the Top 4 closer together.
We are getting absolutely clobbered a lot.
Not good
I wonder if dudes are sick, usually it comes out if there’s a bug going around maybe I just missed it.
Other than Jok because he is not human, guys out there looking pooched. Maybe they’re just tired.
I know Denver isn’t a great FA destination but it just hurts seeing guys like
Xavier Tillman
Lonnie Walker
Pat Bev
Malik Beasley
Kelly Oubre Jr
All either sign for the minimum last offseason or could have been traded for with a couple 2nd.
Meanwhile the only player we pick up is Justin Holiday and we run it back with the same team and now we have glaring bench issues. If we get in foul trouble in the playoffs and there will be games we absolutely do, we are fucked.
I’m not saying I want our team to be coached like Thibadeau (spelling?) but he seems to have figured out something to get his guys to try so hard in the regular season. It doesn’t seem to just be about minutes. Like, what has he figured out?
Again, I think it’s stupid because sure it burns players out, but we could probably learn to sprinkle some of his mojo on this team so they learn how to give more effort more consistently.
Or wear down less?
Idk,8 get we’ve played a lot the last 12 months but Jok seems fine, AG seems more or less fine.
The last 6 weeks have just been insanely uninspired.
at least we won the 4th quarter
Good lord. Shooting like how I shoot on women. Poorly with a lot of attempts.
I’d be fine if the Nuggets ate all that Zeke money and cut him. There’s nothing there.
Won the 4th 😤
A fucking bratwurst cannon, are you fucking kidding me? We can’t even get a t shirt cannon and these mfers are launching bratwursts into the stands. This is fucking bullshit, I’m done with this team. See y’all next season when we get talks about conversations about discussions about t shirt cannon. Fuck.
I get that the race of the top four in the west is tight and we’re right there with the other teams, but as the defending champs I see some flaws in this team that I don’t like, hopefully we can make some kind of big surge after All Star weekend because the recent shellackings by the knicks, the Kings and now the Bucks, I’m not digging that. Inconsistency is worrying.
I think about some of the Great champions that broke through and were attempting to go back to back, and how it almost unlocked some kind of new confidence for them the 92 bulls, the 2013 heat, the 2016 warriors (despite how it ended), now I make no secret about how much I want to go back to back and I think we will and if we end up having to have a 2001 Lakers or 95 rockets scenario with an underwhelming regular season but a great playoff run I’m all for that lol, I’m just saying there’s some flaws with this team that I noticed within the first 20 games that I don’t feel haven’t been alleviated
I’m officially concerned. Outside of Jok our starters are way too inconsistent. And we won’t get the break we had last year. We’ll have to really push it, possibly exhausting our guys. and could still end up as the 4 seed. Our depth is so freaking bad. AG’s offense is broken. I can’t even handle the Murray/MPJ roller coaster. Our weaknesses have been hidden this year, but we are categorically not as strong as last year, despite the comparable record. And the west is a lot stronger than it was last year.
Obv we still have a very high ceiling. But we have to switch something up. The status quos is not enough
If Booth scouted NBA instead of WCC he’d see he could’ve traded that 1st for a guy like grimes who could help u win now
Or u can pickup NBA ready vets like Nickeil for next to nothing.
But judging by his Ringer interview he’s too cocky for that
Warm bodies? Fuck that get me warm braty’s launched into the stadium at 30 mph. Fuck.
Well balls
People wishing we were more like the New York Knicks the season right after we won an NBA championship is honestly really funny lol
Monte gonna ball for the Wolves. I’m very conflicted
Trading for a young player like a Grimes would’ve allowed Denver to stay below 2nd apron and go deep into tax in future years when resign as RFA
But Booth was likely mandated by cheap ownership to lock in cheap deals for 3-4 years
They won 1 title without truly paying so they’re not going to look to have to pay. Jokic won’t pressure them and ownership doesn’t care that much
People aren’t here to talk about this but that shaped the offseason and was a huge error. Cost them 2029 1st. Then they got cocky and signed Nnaji which will cost them the final tradeable 1st of Jokics peak
In other markets that offseason would’ve been destroyed in the prime of the greatest player in franchise history
In Denver it’s par for the course.
They expect Jokic to carry trash and got cocky
Is it just me or is Monte looking thicc?
At this point this seasons team are frauds until proven otherwise. Using the “we’re defending champs” line is literally idiotic due to not having Bruce to rely on to a degree off the bench. In a roundabout way if MPJ shits the bed in the playoffs it might end up being a good thing for which causes us to trade him for somebody that can actually dribble and create their own shot and can be more consistent. Because him going 5/7 from 3 and then 1/8 is not conducive to winning basketball.
Fuck it let’s doom. Woo!
Done with this team.
All the other teams suck so, so I’m not sure which one to be a fan of.
Nvm I’ll just continue to be Nuggets fan
