    My takeaways: Jamal’s mind was straight up somewhere else, and DeAndre was HORRIBLE.

    Plus that Jokic guy is pretty good

  2. MasterStrange616

    First off, GO Nuggggeeeettttttsssss!!!!! That was a fun game to watch

    Jok was an incredible, and the cutting leading to an in-game dunk competition was great. Absolutely great offensive movement and cutting tonight.

    Defensive rotations are still so slow when the ball swings around the perimeter, and seems to be mostly caused by the weak side helping on to Jokics man in the post and not being able to get back in time without leaving the paint wide open. Hopefully we can continue to work on this and improve the defense some more cause it felt like a step back from the previous games.

    I love all the nuggets and had a great time watching, so overall a great game!

  3. n0t_malstroem

    50 of 67 on 2 point attempts is straight up insane

  4. finn_odalih

    Early Jokmas present from the Joker 🙏

  5. landlion35

    That game was just a 2 hour highlight reel.

  6. AP16__

    Zeke not even get minutes over DAJ with a fucking injury is a concern, at this point just trade him

  7. YoungTheGiant_

    Why not have a little award ceremony for Jokic before the game??

  8. UnderratedNightmare

    Anybody got a link or photo of Jokic & Monte swapping jerseys?? I seen some bully post about it on Twitter but I want to see it!

  9. broncosfighton

    What is it with the person who names these threads loving the word humble? Every other game we’re humbling a team or getting humbled.

  10. TheOrthodoxPolock

    I got a free jersey and was on the Jumbotron.

  11. Denverbenji

    98 point paints….I needed 1 more Mal 3 pointer for a fucking PAYDAY arghhhh

  12. UnderratedNightmare

    Also the exact game I wanted. Monte & Barton had good games and we got some amazing highlights and the W!

  13. FivePointsPlay

    Jokic in his last two games averaging 3 steals and 2.5 blocks. Might as well save some time and hand him the Hakeem Olajuwon trophy now

  14. griffskry

    Guys im tired of saying it and I’m sick of the doomers: This is the best team ever assembled in franchise history. Period.

  15. smokingreggiebush

    We scored 140 despite shooting only 4/16 from three… that’s fucking insane, our ball movement was on dynasty Spurs/Warriors level tonight god damn

  17. metalhead252

    Wish Jokic didn’t shoot the 2 three point attempts, his TS% would’ve been stupid high for a 40+ point game. I mean it already was even with them lmao.

  18. ApplesAndToothpicks

    I swear to god, if *that* Jokic pass is not on top 10 plays of the night, I will do something that’s bad for someone’s health.

  19. WeirdRedBeard

    Ngl, I think there’s a decent chance we get humiliated by the Lakers.

  20. TwoWayMarko

    Jamal had a rough night but he only took 6 shots , i respect that because some players would have taken 12-15 shots to “shoot their way out of the slump”

  21. Key-Presentation-449

    Bones 9n the year 278 pts on 412 min for a per 36 of 24.29 AND he’s only going to get better as the season progresses. Love it and all of you comparing him to Barton tonight’s game is the difference. Bones and jok 2 man game is REAL and that connection is organically becoming absolutely beautiful.

  23. TheAgeOfTomfoolery

    Uhhhhh giving up 128 points is like objectively bad right?

  26. AndoArugula

    Every time it’s proclaimed that Jamal is back the very next game he drops an absolute stinker

  27. MasterStrange616

    I already know I’m gonna be the resident KCP defender at all times. Don’t you come for him, or you gotta mess with me

  28. skurkles

    I can’t get over how easily Jok can put up 43, 14, 8 and 4 steals. Looked like an average game from the 🐐

  29. samwolfsam

    I don’t know why people are so negative right now. Very fun game, Jokic killed it, AG worked it, Bones drained them, and Plumlee made his half court shot. Let’s go Nugz, what a game .

  30. couponuser9

    AG had 5 dunks tonight (Denver had 13 lol). That means he now has 64 dunks in 24 games played, or 2.67 dunks per game. Another way of thinking about it is every 3 games, he has one with 2 dunks and two games with 3 dunks.

    Last year he played 75 games and dunked a career high 130 times. If he plays 75 games again this year and maintains his current pace of dunks per game, he’ll finish the season with 200 dunks.

  31. Key-Presentation-449

    Another great take by mares on DNVR. Bones is FIRE on the court w joke

  33. native_end

    Katy and Hastings asking Malone and Jeff about Jokmas

    Dreams really do come true

  34. blewrb

    Katy with the call of the game, w/ assist from Marlowe…

    Jamal hits that 3 late in the game.

    Marlowe: Jamal… (Trails off)

    Katy, quickly like a school kid checking in: _”present”_

  35. m0userat_

    I’m in KY and its after midnight here so Merry Jokmas guys!!! ❤❤❤

  36. Lake_Shore_Drive

    Pretty sure we just saw buck naked Joker in the background of Brauns locker room interview 😳

  37. KingVzn

    Shout out to Polock for getting on the Jumbotron tonight and winning an MPJ jersey! I see you big dawg
