    AG and MPJ were each 1 FT away from there being 4 Nugget starters scoring 20 pts or more.

  2. Superbotto

    Good thing the Nuggets ain’t pushing for that 1 seed.

  3. MurrayFlurray

    I never let my kids use screens of any kind. I see all these other terrible awful shit “parents” with their hellspawn “ipad kids”, and all I can think of is you should know that when your kid grows up he is going to be exactly like Jamal fucking Murray.

    No respect. Can’t play good basketball. Discriminates against good Christian folk by never passing them the ball. Sure sometimes like tonight he makes his shots and wins big games and everyone says they love them. But then right after he is out there disrespecting hard working journalists by watching youtubes of fighting on his phone.

    My sons might not have spoken to me in quite a few years now, but I know wherever they are they are acting like the consummate professionals I raised them to be and NOT like #27.

  4. ShaoDres

    My wife and I are having a debate. Nugg nation, plz remind me who started “Who’s your daddy”

    Vic Lombardi or Moach?

  5. Zman2734

    Bad news for doomers, Nuggets don’t play trap games anymore

  6. 35 / 17 / 12 / 6

    What a monster fucking stat line. FYI; every one of those numbers was higher than any raptors equivalent stat.

  7. landlion35

    If you show 1000 people a picture of Gradey Dick and ask them what’s his profession, not a single one would say he is a professional basketball player.

  8. snakejakemonkey

    Try and ban me and assault me all u want lol

    They should’ve been able to get Mills or Delon

    Delon literally benched already in Miami

    Would be nice to have something behind Reggie who’s legs seem gone

  9. Gyncs0069

    Down extremely bad in the first 3 quarters and then having a divine 12 minutes of basketball to win the game. Yeah that’s the Nuggets alright

  10. YungFung1001

    This team loves letting opponents think they’re gonna win then yanking their hearts out.

  11. Glove_Upset

    I see why we do this. Moach is way chiller after a comeback than the blowout where we coasted for a quarter.

  12. ScrewuGuysImGoingHme

    Kinda worried about Murray playing the entire 4th 2 games in a row while he’s dealing with injuries.

  13. SnooDonuts9093

    Downvote me all you want, but what Murray does isn’t good basketball. The rock ends up with him, and if he’s hot he scores so he gets a pass, but he’s not a million times and he ruins a good offense, but all of you forget cause he scores the next time

    Even when he scores, it’s not a good attack, he just manages it. It’s bullshit and it doesn’t win more rings

  14. Sizzle2121

    Jamal Murray was the meteor that killed the dinosaurs confirmed

  15. Korndawgg

    No joke, Kelly O is one of my most feared jokic matchups

  16. lunar_alpenglow

    I saw we were down 20 in the third and was actually excited because I knew we were going to pull off a comeback. LFG nuggets

  17. NuggAvsBroncRock

    I absolutely have no idea how we won that game and I don’t care this team is just incredible but that being said they need to stop digging holes against themselves.

  18. Saw a bunch of people saying throw in the towel when we were down big. Glad we didn’t.

  19. porkadachop

    You guys, his name is slang for the male sex organ. What a riot.

  20. Superbotto

    17 games remaining.

    3 magic number for the 10th seed (play in clinch)

    11 magic number for the 6th seed (playoffs clinch)

    16 magic number for the 4th seed (home court in round 1)

    17 magic number for the 2nd seed (home court in round 2)

    19 magic number for the top seed (home court in WCF)

  21. confusedjuror

    @bill, I’m eating al paror quesadilla

  22. bigfootdude247

    They had us in the first half, not gonna lie

  23. Real_Routine_

    Doomers won’t read this because they went to bed an hour ago

  24. Savahoodie

    I’m about to say the funniest joke about Dick, ball arena, and tip off. Stay tuned

  25. InsertWhittyPhrase

    Kinda enjoy that the Thunder and TWolves are on alternating nights from the Nugs during this push for first in the West. Really makes the off nights more interesting and feels good knowing we put the ball in their court after a win

  26. snakejakemonkey

    I hate how Malone sees Gordon+MPJ and Watson and Braun as 2 separate pairs who rarely intertwine

    Should be connective tissue of the team but they barely play among each other.

  27. Savahoodie

    “Obviously if I couldn’t pass I wouldn’t play point”

    WRONG again dear Jamal.

  28. SmackBroshgood

    SO FUCKING DISRESPECTFUL OF MAL TO LOOK AT HIS DRINK WHILE ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS HE OWES IT TO THE FANS TO MAINTAIN CONSTANT EYE CONTACT WITH ANY BEAT REPORTER GODDAMNIT

  29. Bodiroga1986

    The Fantasy semifinals on ESPN started today. Millions who own Jokic have a smile from ear to ear. These stats as Luka+ Davis hybrid 😄
