Bruce Brown needs his beard back he doesn’t look nearly as good like that
Would have won by 60 if Malone played DeAndre Jordan
Btw go rate the players on the unofficial sub’s post game survey ya cunts

Nugget?
Free samples of positivity for all tonight. A lil taste to get you dummies hooked 😎
Jokic 4-8 extending streak to 29 games shooting 50%+
Bones with a casual +27 because he’s the worst defender in the NBA.
Idk man, I don’t even want to shitpost, just want to bask in the excellence of that game which can be summed up in a [single possession where the ball touches the floor just once](https://twitter.com/nuggets/status/1611201395180589056?t=hWBzU61rVT17UCqjpHp4Uw&s=19)
1/9 shooting, it’s the return of Pandemic P!
r/nba got so shook they deleted BOTH PGT
Lmfao we own the clippers
Just noticed that nobody scored 20
Hopefully someone takes the Clippers out in the first round, enough of em enough
First half was insane, 3rd quarter was fun, 4th quarter was sad, but overall it was a fantasic win, I really wanted to win by at least 40 if not 50. It was amazing when it was 90-49.
Everyone: Malone has to find a way to get Christian Braun minutes.
Malone:

In hope we get a video of MPJ getting DPOG
Bones has quitely had a very solid stretch of consecutive games. An area I think he could immediately start contributing defensively right now is defensive rebounding. I think if Bones makes the conscious decision to go an attack the ball, try and chase down everything and fly around out there he could actually rack up a bunch of boards.
He’s got great length, good hands, and a nose for the ball. There is a level of recklessness he’d have to start playing with, but if he decides “*I’m gonna go get that fucking ball wherever it goes*” when a shot goes up I think he actually has a natural ability that would be a quality backcourt rebounders with a wide range.
When that version of Jamal Murray shows up it’s light work.
Wow Murray lead both teams in scoring with 18
MPJ WON THE DPOG CHAIN
We didn’t beat ‘em by 40+? Fire Malone!
Munder secured
Def think that adding KCP with the bench rotation has been a good move and stagger on the coaches part besides his defense and helping to space them he just helps connect them more on the offensive end whether by making the extra pass or moving so he or his teammates can get the ball – KCP Bones Brown and Zeke already is an improved four man bench group and while Vlatko hasn’t been as consistent we saw tonight that he can provide solid minutes at backup SF/PF as well
