Kevin Durant’s trash talk crossed a line according to Bruce Brown in Nuggets loss to Rockets
The Nuggets struggled in the early game against the Houston Rockets. Bruce Brown and Kevin Durant had a heated moment. Nikola Jokic got in fouls trouble and the Nuggets had an off day shooting or running offense without him. It was one of those days. Is there anything more to take away from the disappointing loss? How can the Nuggets bounce back. Harrison Wind and Duvalier Johnson come to you LIVE from the DNVR Bar to break down everything you need to know in this postgame edition of the DNVR Nuggets Podcast.

Im glad I didn't get to watch this game.
The bitch thing is definitely both contextual and cultural. Black hoopers will fight over that almost always. Iāve lost it hooping before and have almost thrown hands after calling a buddy that and we were going at it, but Iāve also said it jokingly and it wasnāt an issue. Iād say KD probably took it further than just that, given Bruceās response š
As far as the game goes, the house always wins. We saw what happened the previous 2 times when refs let the teams play defense. This game, only 1 team was allowed to play defense and it wasnāt the Nuggets. That being said, theyāre offense wasnāt clicking and Jokic from the start, had awful misqueues. saw this L coming from a mile away. Itās just a shame that now their margin for error going forward is even slimmer.
If Bruce was playing well, he wouldn't be acting all butthurt and offended. If Bruce wasn't getting torched, it wouldn't be a problem. If the Rockets didn't smoke the Nuggs, Bruce wouldn't have had a complaint.
I think it was Devs cowboy outfit that jinxed us. Burn that hat
The theme of the game wasn't "they couldn't get anything to fall," it was "we lack the hunger and fire and fight".
So the rockets dont have anyone out ?
Nuggets usually play bad when game time is early.
But I was told by the podcasters that this is the "year of Jamal"? What happened podcasters?
Matine loss, I think last important matine win was in the bubble.
Hereās an angle: it seems to me Denver does badly under Marc Davis. That guy allows serial penalties to run free ave people cheat left and right. Like the playoffs against the Wolves.
Don't worry guys, I paid off my house on this game…this was the most obvious loss in the history of the universe…Nuggs be like we been chilling at home for bit a won few games, why try anymore….we beat these bums twice….why try anymore…
Also let's be real about Jamal Murry all star birth, this is not negative against him…just reality of the NBA picture. There are 4 traditional guards spots. Ant, SGA, Luka…Murray not seeing them and Curry is baked in legacy spot…so Murray is a Adam Silver all star. If any od these guys get injured he needs to beat out AR and Dbook who have both have better numbers than him…so he's like 7th top guard in the west…amd that's fotgetting that second OKC dude
Relisten to Bruce Brown. It sounded like he said that KD said the thing to *someone else first*, then KD also said it to Bruce. Sounded to me like, fundamentally, Bruce was stepping in to have the back of one of his teammates….
We beat them 2 out of 3 and they just lost to the pelicans they didnāt want to lose 3 in a row we will get them next time hard to beat a good team 3 times in a row
The Houston team is so petty. I can believe that refs fall for their narrative. My favorites are Ime Bitch-oka, KD the whining franchise killer, and Sengun the crying Turkish Jokic replica.
Jokic and Murray will send Durant home in round 2. Tis a shame he won't get his own ring.
seems very experienced by KD..respect!! .. but there's always a next time so I hope KD doesn't forget his words if he find himself in Bruce's place !! Nuggets planned to play without 100% effort.. from the very start the ball goes from Joker and Jamal to Cam and Jones it was immediately clear to me that they are not going to kill themselves to win, and I think it is a smart move .. Rockets are furious there is no reason for anyone else to get hurt for one game..I think the Nuggets will wash them in the last one
Yāall understand they are missing FVV , Eason and DFS?
this felt lile a scheduled loss. i do predictions for each nba game everyweek and as a Nuggets fan ive only picked them to lose 4-5 times. this was one of them. lets move on.
100% agreed on not caring about this loss Wind
Kevin Durant will never win another title again and Jokic may not either if he doesn't start off games like this dominating. Jokic actually is soft against top teams for like the first half and I don't understand that. Fuck KD , this guy will never win another championship. Talk shit when yr playing against the top 5 on thd Nuggets. No AG,No Braun, and, honest take,NO KD STOPPER in PWat.Talking shit with half our squad down.
Bruce canāt rash talk and then Start crying when KD trashes them and torches Denver. There are some players you donāt trash talk in nba history KD is one of those guys you never want them to make it personal because they absolutely will and KD did
Itās good reps for Jokic on how a playoff defense just collapse on Jok in the paint and very bumpy physicality for Jamal.
