I love you no matter what
dont worry, Nuggets will have lots of motivation, against the Lakers
Man…us fans have built a small fucking runway to land our happiness plane now.
Matt was/is so wrong. And Ryan actually gets the Jokic vibe.
Jokic is not enjoying this, far from it. Its been like this since the season started. And it got more tiring, more depressing over these 26 games. Its predictable, almost embarrassing how bad this team plays and how flawed it is.
Jamal was atrocious for the most of it – showing up in 2-3 games, in spurts, here and there and is ignoring defense.
MPJ still can`t create his own nor can defend anything – strangely, he showed improvements and in investing in getting better – maybe the most on the roster… but he`s just not `a hooper`, game IQ is just not improving.
Nuggets are missing 2 pieces and Jokic was forced to `close the gap` over and over again.
Jokic is TIRED of it. Maybe he`s not `sending a message` (although I think its more likely than not that there is a message or two), but hes definitely showing serious mental fatigue with this situation.
DEN is playing 7-8 man rotation in the 1st 26 of the season, with Jokic playing, well almost 40 minutes every night… Its difficult to explain just how BAD the roster situation is in DEN, w/o using harsh and cuss words.
DEN is not a favorite even against the absolutely worst and tanking teams in NBA.
Booth, Kroenkes, Front office shat the bed so badly for 2 seasons now that 2 Jokics cant fix it.
And Matt… I guarantee it – he hates this situation more and more every minute.
You guys are way too negative. You didn't even discuss the exciting game and went off topic rambling.
Ryan has all that access just to sound like a casual
The problem is that we've seen how good they can be, and we watch them put out such a middling effort. MPJ looks like he's going to fall down on defense. Even Braun looks un motivated.
The fact that they had such a great 4th quarter is the most frustrating thing. I mean, if they were just bad, okay, they're bad, but to know that they can be this good but just aren't, for most of the game is so frustrating. And I agree that Jokic is showing a lot with his body language, but at some point, even he has to just suck it up, stop pouting and understand that this is the reality right now, you do have to do everything. You get paid the big bucks for it, so just suck it up and do it. Save the protest to between games, open your mouth, and demand changes from management. Protesting during the game is just making him like every other NBA star, and I don't like it.
Ha now, what's going on with the kids too yesterday😂😂
Also having to watch this game again, I hope you're getting paid good money😂😂
They should ship Portor, Gordon and Saric to the Jazz for Markkanen and Clarkson. Maybe add a 2nd round pick to smoothen it out. I don’t think Gordon has been that great either.
Could you guys limit the intro bs? There’s a ton of content to watch. Please don’t waste our time with meaningless content. We already know you’re locked on nuggets. 3 min in, the content finally starts.
Glad they got the win, however thanks to mpj for being 2 points shy of my same game parley.
Can't wait until the chiefs lose. Fuck your side project. Be professional
Westbrook was essential for the win. I was happy to see him finish.
Leaders and record holders for rating player efficiency. On the RACIST BASKETBALL REFERENCE page, before the Nuggets vs New Orleans match, Jokic's PER was 31.86, but according to the last update on 12/24/2024, it was 31.34. With Jokic's performance of 27 points, FG%55, 3P% 66.7, 13 reb., 10 assist., that 3, 1 blk, 1 stl., +/- +6, etc.. As it was a "coincidence" in the season 22/23 when Joki c in the race for the MVP title with the "epileptic" Embiid intervened, the avowed racist Perk implicated Jokica that he won two MVP titles thanks to Aryan blue eyes. He is succeeded by the no less virulent racist Mr. Arenas, who claims that Jokic is dealing with empty numbers, i.e. triple doubles. The empty numbers are when Jokic's main opponent for the MVP title, G. Antetokounmpo, shoots a miserable 17% for 3P, in addition, he shoots a poor FT 61%, and in just one meeting, he shoots a dizzying 26 free throws. In order to get a precise insight into the "empty numbers" this season, Jokic has FT 117/147 against Ganis 167/272, which enables with (+2 from FT per match) 32.7 leads on the list of scorers. In the last 8 matches, Jokic shot a total of 24 FT or 3.0 per match. Therefore, even for Komač's consciousness and conscience, it is indisputably clear what he is talking about.
PS When you hear or read the dintag "Best Team" is actually a new name for "Big Marcet" who was godfathered by the late Nick Writ.
The best argument for why MPJ has to be traded is when you say they don’t have to close with him every night. $30+ million on the bench during the game winning moments in favor of a 37 year old playing on a veteran minimum. The math doesn’t math.
Sorry Ryan, the Nuggets margin for error is razor thin. We can't afford to take Jokic off the court. But for an additional 3-5 minutes a night. Yikes. This turns to 2 point wins into losses.
Why would Chicago want MPJ and Zeke? How does that help them? Zeke will never play and MPJ doesn't add more points and only adds a few rebounds. The only way that helps is if they want to enter the 'capture the Flagg' competition.
Another absolutely disgusting game by the Nuggets…
4-1 week
Why does every team the Nuggets play look like an elite shooting team!? It’s so frustrating! They can literally throw any garbage shot up and it goes in??? WTF!
Not a big fan of MPJ but I really dont like how fans just suddenly turned around and now point to him as if hes the worst nuggets player when in fact, numbers wise, he is still the 2nd best.
The Debbie Downer show featuring the biggest downer, Blackburn. He's so depressing.
Missi is Jokic's daddy.
