C’mon wizboys, I don’t expect that much out of you except to beat the fucking Lakers
Preach, Chuck
So Mal will travel to LA and see if he can play, according to Malone
Post back from game go Nuggets
Michael “swing the rock to KCP” Porter Jr
OVerall a ok night hopefully Murray’s injury isn’t to severe IMO keep him out against the Lakers give him a week off. Maybe bring him back for Boston who knows Im not a Doctor. BUt Nuggets Win and OKC lost.
Damn it. The Wizards are not clutch.
Drake or Jamal?
I hope they stop the game and we get a long speech from LeBron when he hits 40,000 on Saturday. Need the rest
That felt like a playoff game. I liked the physicality both teams played with. I’d say there was an annoying disparity with the refs’ calls tonight though. The heat got away with a lot of calls tonight. Funny thing is, it seemed like the refs called a lot of the fouls they should have called on the heat on the nuggets. Is what it is though. We still win it seems like every time.
I’m really fuckin excited for the playoffs😤
If Nuggets coaches made personnel decisions based on one game, the second of a b2b against the Heat, the team would be fucked.
I pray for Murray, He should def take it easy instead of going straight after it. he was clearly hurting even before the ankle roll. can’t risk his health like Malone did, were not winning a b2b without him
Not to gas up ~~90frogs~~ frog boy anymore than he already has been today, but I have had this R.L. Burnside album on repeat all damn day.
[Sounds like Jamal is day to day](https://x.com/brendanvogt/status/1763444035732320379?s=46&t=_loXWRmfRaSo6aCcrPY1Cw)
This is about as good of news we could possibly receive considering how bad it initially looked
Reggie 8/35 from 3 in February. But 39 assists and only 11 turnovers at least.
My first Nuggets game, at home, and we get the W.
What a way to ring in year 27.
Took care of the back-to-back, that’s all that matters
Anthony Edwards rolled his ankle way worse earlier this season(look up the video) and was back after half time.
Nuggets probably kept Jamal out to not risk it.
I’m texting with Reggie Miller and he just shared a few keen insights with me.
On Burj Khalifa – “Arguably the tallest building in Dubai.”
On China – “Arguably the most populous country in Asia.”
On the Great Barrier Reef- “Arguably the largest coral reef system off the coast of Australia.”
Wolves have King Clips Portland at home then tough 6 game road trip hmm could falter here
How many blowout wins should we have, but we keep letting teams back in? We need to stop playing with our food
Doomers will say both that every game is must win and playing Murray should get Malone fired
Could you imagine a player with Strawther’s brain, Porter’s spine, Murray’s ankle, Jokic’s weight and signed to Murray’s contract?
Edit: and Bol Bol work ethic 😱
I hope Murray is ok
I re-watched the game and it is looking like it will be 14 days before Jamal can play again, but no way he makes the flight and they leave him behind to go on that road trip. Jamal is going to be home alone at Ball Arena right when Cirque du Soleil comes into town. He can’t be doing trapeze shit with shin splints this is a complete fucking disaster.
​
They should have put him in the iron lung while he still had a chance.
​
Now we are 9 games out of falling out of the playoffs entirely, and if Booth doesn’t make one of those classic post deadline signings right now that typically solidify all the real champions in league history then I guess we have no hope but for the players holding us back to step up in precisely the ways that I totally called for all season long if we want to win another championship like last year. All I know is win or lose, I’ve never been wrong about a single fucking thing in my whole life.
Heat/Nuggets fan. Good game all! Hope to see Jamal back soon and certainly by the time I go to the Nuggets game in Miami in two weeks. Keep winning and get that first seed!
