I have no words…. But… amazing!!!!!!
Let’s goooooooo, Pickett/Nnaji 2026!
A? A? NBA teams, you see how good Zeke is? We would totally hate to let him go, but if you twist out srm we might consider it.
I think we all owe Zeke a personal apology
It was an amazing game! Also picket didn’t hop around but played so much smoother. We need him to play like this a lot more!
You have to think, you know these guys ball out during practice to be on the bench of this team. When they are told it's on you all, the team you play with every practice…..it was possible…
Never wanted a win more so far this year….hellllllll yessss!!!!
Bench new starters, rest all starters till playoffs lol. Use Jok, AG, Brau, Cam, Murray as bench minutes. Im so happy for the bench they deserve this opportunity, nobodys is good when they're not on the floor. Nuggets bench proved how each and one of them have something to give if they had the time to play. ATNAG, historic bench game.
We are back with vengeance! 💪🙂
Nine real guys! Loved this game, what a stellar effort from all, some brilliant plays, OT clutch! #ATNAG #PICKETSTAR
Like honestly, does this feel better than that Rockets wins…or the wolves game???? Idk
But my boyzzzzz!!!!!
50 Cal is out there punching air tonight.
I did not expect this… this is what makes it worth following this team so closely; you get surprised more than often
People really need to stop calling Adelman pregnant man😬
And Okc got blown out by 25….6-6 in last 12 gms
And now you can see that Malone destroyed so many good young players. I have been talking about that for years. He destroyed their confidence, he didn't use them enough, he didn't develop them.
I am so glad for these boys and this game, they deserved this moment! Congrats!
Justice!
SO MURRAY was the problem? Okay…taking notes with him 103/108/115, without him 120…turns out all the starters are Jokic merchant, let the hoopers play until Jok comes back…
The best comment ever: Actually, Embiid was avoiding Pickett all this time!!!
When Jamal is not playing ball is going much smoother, he is not so great off the ball player. Maybe Nuggets should try to trade Jamal because his value is historical pick right now.
Early Jokmas game, as a Christmas gift for the Joker 😀
Adam WOULD want to chat about a game he didn't even watch lol
9 real guys.
Bro valuable asset game for the squad. We can really retool if we had to. I love THIS team
Malone was a basketball terrorist with his washed veterans playing Barton, washed Jordan, washed Reggie, washed Millsap, washed Jeff Green etc instead of many talented young boys.
We overpaid cb he is a 18m player at best
figured y'all would go baysh!t crazy, but of all the games for adam to miss! 🥲
Hollywood should make a movie about this game. It reminded me so much of The Replacements. What a game!
obviously the game should be called NINE REAL GUYS
Always wanted Pickett to get more minutes. Jamal is our PG for sure but he can rest a bit more – Pickett has got IT! 🙂
Scheduled Loss turned into HISTORICAL UNDERDOG WIN 🎉
I was thinking before the game the NBA is so funny, you lose the games you think you should win and sometimes you win the games you think you're definitely going to lose. And this was such a sweet one and on national TV 😂
Trade all these guys today, the stock is so high 😂😂😂
55:05 JP was playing Embiid like a fiddle. He has an insane basketball IQ.
1:10:19 i coined Phantom of the Flopera when Embiid had the mask last year. That’s his name now in my circles.
1:10:46 the Zeke off is crazy. Zeke should beatchallass😂
Y'all Nuggets still are not winning anything… lol. Let us know when you win the Finals again… lol 😂🤣🤣🤣
We need Zoom call ins to talk shit when All City teams play each other. A little post game roast 90-120 seconds long in good fun? GENIUS idea.
1:27:07 single game box +/- really holds nothing sometimes though. No Zeke we lose that game, he was a massive defensive factor and made crucial shots. Remember they were facing a titan center and large front court team overall.
Everyone should realize that the 76ers played down to the Nuggets bench players. The Nuggets do this all the time it’s hard to get up for a team that doesn’t have one starter just human nature.
I'm looking at the lineup last night like oh man it's a bunch of scrubs (minus P Wat and Brucey)
