🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋Damn, I have the flu 😷 too! I just flew back from Hawaii and then it hit me. Drink some lemon tea (real lemons), bro, with a splash of cayenne pepper, trust me. Slice 1 lemon really thin, put in a pot, put 2 cups of water. Boil on low for about 40 min until the rinds are soft. Pour into a mug, splash 3 pinches of cayenne pepper into the mug, stir, drink while hot 🥵. It’ll break all of the congestion up!!!!
It’s at least worth noting that the Rockets were on the second night of a back-to-back AND had to travel, but it still doesn’t excuse a near 40 point blow out.
Here is a team that's had worse injury luck than Denver and OKC, and they're still the 1 seed. Pretty impressive.
Please stop with the nuggets are back. They blow out one team and the blown out by the other team in the next couple of matches.
As a Dubs fan, I got a lot of respect for Denver and the Joker! However, I think OKC and San Antonio simply have too much youth/depth on their side and in today’s NBA, you NEED to be able to play 10 guys in the playoffs if you want to win a championship! That’s why respectfully, I’d pick either of those two teams to represent the West in the NBA Finals come June over anybody else! ❤ 💙 💛
I want to take this dude serious but then he says something that joker's he slipped it in their the joker's not the best player in basketball that's laughable that game that that overrated SGA had against Denver the other night joker made way more big shots in that fourth quarter than he did why is nobody talking about that get off that guy's nuts he's not even the second best player in the league SGA is not joker is so far and away above everybody else but giannis is the second best player in basketball when he's healthy
Talk about Kawhi, we want agenda pushing for Kiwi
Denver has not been good, Houston is just more of a cluterfuck rn. Doesn’t suddenly make Denver good. They’re gonna lose to the spurs tonight then we will be back to realizing Denver is overrated
Jokic and Murray are scary in the half court but we’ve seen their kryptonite, it’s young athletic teams like okc and Minnesota that can run them out of the gym. Pretty hard 2nd round ceiling
If people think the nuggets are back off this game then they don't know basketball at all. They was playing a injury riddled rockets team coming off a back to back. I fully expected Denver to win that game last night. Watch how the nuggets lose to the spurs tonight.
Jokic playoff the last 5 years
2021 – 2nd round sweep to suns
2022 – 1st round in 5 to warriors
2023 – beat two 8 seeds and a 7 seed
2024 – 2nd round loss to wolves
2025 – 2nd round loss to okc
I don't really care about the standings because OKC is about to win back to back championships
Mailbag question: You've mentioned alot that Wemby is having a poor 1v1 defensive season mainly because he overplays the 3pt shot and in doing that gives up drives to the rim and there isn't a second wemby to help at the rim.
My hypothetical question is that what if you paired wemby with the closest defensive player to him and that to me is Anthony Davis 2023 or 2020 AD . How would that look defensively and how would they fit offensively.
My personal analysis is that 2020 AD would be a better fit offensively because he could shoot better and was a top 5 player because of that which to me would make that front court unguardable. But 2023 AD was stronger physically so AD could battle the bigger centers and switch with Wemby as help defense . So I think that pairing would be better and more versatile defensively. But regardless both iterations would be hell for anyone driving into the lane and would be all time great defense.
What do you think Jason?
I guess a back to back don’t count. When Denver lose tn it’s going to be first thing you bring up. SMH
This channel, Team looses a game then they are doomed, the Next game they win and now they are the future.
20:57 son getting war flashbacks
Twenty minutes of Nuggets hype and not a single mention of the Rockets being on a back-to-back? The bias is real.
KD can't be the best player on a championship team. Unless he's on the 2022 Celtics or some team like that.
The way you look at the Lakers and the Rockets is how I look at the Nuggets …these 3 teams are the same ..they are a 3rd teer contenders
Someone get this man a Hot Toddy
Come back to check in, can we RELAX on the nuggets glaze. Always overhyped, always underperforming. chilllll
