I don’t think Vogt knows the definition of redacted
Did anyone call out MALONE? Because he needs to be fired. ASAP. He’s lost the team, they don’t respond to him. He punishes MPJ this game, Braun the last game – what for? Other than destroying their confidence.
The smartest thing I saw Malone do was take Jamal out on the last possession of regulation.
My glorious king russ
Jamal Murray was never gone. This has always been the Murray experience a slightly inefficient volume shooter his whole career, you guys forgot. But he almost always comes through when you need him, HAVE FAITH.
Its absolutely crazy that Jokic seems to stick with wing players on the wing better than porter. Its crazy
Another life and death struggle we, like most of our games this season, we could so easily have lost and another game where the best scorer in the league decides to barely shoot in the first half/three quarters which is why we lost the 1 seed last year in game 82.
Jokic had 5 FGA in the first half and 1 was an offensive rebound. He had 10 in total the first three quarters and I think at least 2 were offensive rebounds and he still left it late in the third to start shooting more. Does Malone actually have a brain? He knows the best Jokic is aggressive Jokic and that he could easily score 40 a night but he allows him to do this time and time again. He should be taking a minimum of 20 shots per game and starting early. But ''Nuggets basketball'' doe
I know we can't have Jokic going crazy every night but we need him aggressive and going to the rim. Everytime he stats doing that, duh, we close the gap or establish one because it's the most surefire way of us getting points. We need aggressive Jokic every night, the problem is we need cover for him when he's off court or we need to rest him so he isn't burnt out by the end of the season but Malone allows Jokic to keep doing this. I don't even want to watch this team anymore they are so frustrating
I'm glad we won the game but Malone got away with spamming the Jokic button this game. The offensive flow in crunchtime was gunked up b/c Malone still doesn't trust MPJ. Mike has his flaws, but you have to have spacing if you want the two man game of Jokic/Murray to be effective. Better teams are going to punish this better.
As a former westbrook hater, i WANT HIM ON THE COURT. HE CARES. HE PLAYS D. HE PLAYS HARD.
“We have to talk about MPJ”. You cowards. Talk about Malone.
It smells like cry babies in these comments 😂😂 Learn how to enjoy life!
tell Harrison to stop moving his head away from the mic!
the nuggets offense is on par with the best-of-the best: cleveland, celtics, okc, girzzlies, etc.
but their defense is so terrible, they make bottom feeding teams look like superteams, and questionable players look like legitimate superstars. against the nuggets, the jordan pooles, and dejounte murrays, and norman powells look like curry, sga or luka – unstoppable.
Christian Braun should be traded this season, he is not a great SG as starter. We don't have much money to keep him next season.
Jamal Murray shot 9/2 for three, had 6 to, and he had good game, but Joker triple double, and he has bad game😂
I always mix up OCT with NOP. Maybe Nuggets did too.
I agree with trading MPJ, but you know it’s rough for him since he has been the nuggets second best player this year arguably and this is home for him. This isn’t some young player or a player that like a one or two year rental. You can see how every shot carries so much weight for him, and he is aware he’ll probably go to a non play off team. Hopefully someone in the nuggets organization gives him a conversation and is truthful cause at the minimum, he deserves that
Maybe someone cooking books? When betting underdog like sac good game, when big favorites bad game.
When I saw we were playing the worst team in the west I was like oh yeah this is going to be a close battle!
I still love the nuggets but it just feels cumulative years of bad decisions from the front office have given us a pretty bad roster. We got zeke nnaji making way more money than Russ, the Dario contract, Jalen Pickett?!! Even if we manage to scam some other team on an MPJ trade it’s hard to imagine it having a big enough impact on our overall roster for us to suddenly become a contender. I think we just gotta accept it and be happy we don’t live in Utah.
We got the best of Russell Westbrook, the young guys got no juice but russ have
This game was disgusting. I've cancelled my nba pass.
The heart attack nuggs pulled it off on a Joker protest game. Wow. Wtf is going on with this team😂 Cool to see Adam on altitude tonight. And yeah that has to count as a finale oop
Win is win but Nuggets are not playing good…
