  1. jeric13xd

    Down 20 in the 3rd and the Champs find a way to win again 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Joker and Jamal 12 assists each lol with 35 and 26 points respectively. Good luck trying to beat em 4 times in the playoffs

    Edit: joker statline 35/17/12/6 stl 🤣

  2. mMounirM

    Bruce Brown and Jalen McDaniels made sure we got the L for the tank. thanks fellas!

    Great game for Gradey which is what I care about

    tanking masterpiece by Darko

  3. MrRamenMan

    The Jokic Murray PnR is too butter man, gg Denver!

  4. Ihatgar11

    Lights were too dim for Murray so he had to go down 20 to lock in

  7. dnfnrheudks

    Damn it nuggets I had all my dick jokes ready to go

  10. shunsui___kyoraku

    One of the great trap games of our time

  11. Whalesftw123

    Nuggets might be the only team in the NBA that I was still certain would win after that first half.

  12. JoshSran04

    Darko saw the lead and put in jalen McDonalds , incredible stealth tank

  13. TheRedditoristo

    I’m glad to see Dick playing well, and not just for the memes.

  16. jump-back-like-33

    It must really suck to not have a nikola jokic on your team

  17. twopiece_danny

    Just had to show everyone we can win if we want, but we’d rather tank instead

  18. Fit-Avocado-342

    Nuggets when Jamal and Jokic are locked in are nearly unbeatable, like seriously it doesn’t seem to matter what team they’re facing or how big the deficit is if those two start getting a rhythm going together.

  19. greywolf2155

    Anyone else watching the Porter and Porter jersey swap and photo op? Now kiss

  20. SwiftDray

    I’m considering that a raptors victory idgaf

  21. itsnotyellowfever

    Jokic was on his way to a Zhugo defensive lowlights compilation video to push the Giannis MVP agenda in the first half then turned into Wembanyama in the second half

    35/17/12 and you can make the case this was a terrible offensive showing from him

  23. Fate_Unseen

    Mr. “No Defense” Jokic with 6 steals and 2 Blocks. Another ho-hum day at the office.

  25. comeonyougunners10

    Jokic with 6 steals and 2 blocks? I thought he was a cone on defense

  26. KangorKodos

    On one hand, why do they do this to me.

    On the other hand, in the long run this team has probably ruined basketball for me in the long term, because after the first half, I was just kinda like……ya of course they will win

    That 2nd block by Jokic was insane

  28. WilliamPSplooge

    It’s so crazy to me that my favorite team is this good 

  29. Careless_Review3166

    I think Jokic in the 3rd quarter alone had 19/4/5

  30. BayernFanTV

    This game was over after that one play where Jamal Murray got fouled. He was a liability before then, but I think everyone knew that he would take it personal, and that’s what we saw with his masterclass right after that.

  31. troll413

    The Dick tried to come from behind but sadly did not insert himself into the game with enough strength

  32. ShetheKing

    There was a time when we were terrible every 3rd quarter. Now it feels like the opposite.

  33. gobills1365

    What a game. Jokic was absolutely unreal and murray had a jaw dropping performance in the 4th.

  34. esteban42

    Nuggets straight playing with their food. Jokic is inevitable

  36. schoolhater12

    Best Gradey Dick game so far. He had some pretty pretty passes. Some great finishes around the rim too.

    If RJ continues to pass like that in the flow of the offense, the Raps offense will cook when healthy

    Jokic is literally an offensive Jesus. Some horrible missed calls against him

    Murray masterclass in the 4th quarter

  37. Phoeniyx

    No shame in losing to Jokic, the three time and currently reigning MVP.

  38. Cul_what

    Whoever made Jamal Murray mad should get double the training and shots up

  39. Outside_Tear6538

    Jokic has the most insane stat lines.

  40. Cul_what

    Jokic’s statlines gets more ridiculous the closer we are to the playoffs

  41. Doodle333

    Great example of how much better of a DEFENDER Jokic has become. 6 steals and 2 blocks on top of a monster 35/17/12. MVP!

  42. juandell

    You Nuggets fans should really get the Broncos and Avalanche fans onboard….

    This is one of the best teams ive seen in 30 years of watching the NBA, feels like their isn’t enough hype due to NBA media being lazy with smaller market teams.

    There have been 4 NBA dynasties since the 80s and they all felt like this. Jokic the best player I’ve seen since MJ.
