    Watching the post game and I really just got rick-rolled by a AAA commercial

  2. UnderratedNightmare

    Bro just told me in r/nba he will give me 1K if we win a ring. Lol they really silly over there

  3. DutyPuzzleheaded7765

    Grest game. That was wild. The Warriors aren’t it anymore

  4. RefuseAfraid1756

    From Mike Singer: Jamal Murray: “We’re a championship team.”

    Said there’s no room for guys not buying into their roles.

  5. Is there enough sample size to suggest if the Nuggets are better without Bones

  6. AndoArugula

    Hastings hating on Poole’s playstyle is probably the first time I’ve agreed with him this season

  7. Betaateb

    lol this game has been so gross since I switched to it

  8. Wonder if DAJ joins the coaching staff next season

  9. Spirited-Praline1094

    There were times last season where all I could say was “Bones is special”. I haven’t seen someone score so effortlessly on the Nugs aside from Joker and Melo. I’ve whined and complained about his role this year a lot as to me it’s obvious all you need to do is play him with longer defenders to compensate for his defense (not just opinion i suppose, stats bear it out too), and give him someone committed to setting screens. It’s going to hurt losing him
 bad. I have a feeling we’re losing a future all star and we’re going to end up with pennies on the dollar in terms of value.

  10. birds_over_humans

    Was bones even on the sidelines tonight?

  11. Betaateb

    Giannis absolutely loves bailing out his opponents by shooting 3s for no reason lmao

  12. Spirited-Praline1094

    Monte, CB, BB, Cancar, Nnaji, then mix and match AG, MPJ depending on if we need to match length/talent. Seems like a winning bench to me.

  13. D-raelon24

    The clippers can’t touch Giannis. Just automatic whistle the moment they contest. Disgusting from the refs.

  14. shadymac34

    This Bones stuff went 0-100 real quick, kinda unfortunate

  15. PG playing like he usually does in the clutch


  16. So Jokic doesn’t play CoD with the team and instead plays Counter Strike.

    Typical Jokic playing the game that requires more skill.

  17. JakeJacob

    Giannis did his best to throw that game lol

    Good thing Kawhi air-balled the middy. Very clutch from both teams.

  18. _cosmix1

    If you don’t love a Clippers choke, you don’t love Nuggets basketball

  19. inurheadinurhead

    damn they really got me in the trade bones camp outta nowhere, how far we’ve come 😭

  20. davidleo24

    Hey guys, I remember years ago there was a meme video with a narrator that sounded like David Attenborough about the Nuggets orbiting something like their”Soft” star in Jokic. The visuals of the video I think were just animations of the sun.

    Does anyone remember that?

  21. _absofuckinglutely

    lmao. Beat GSW by nearly 20 and the PGT has less than 400 comments. Doom crew is truly the back bone of this sub 😂

  22. finn_odalih

    I’m so tired of this Bones talk, like I can’t even enjoy reading through the PGT after a win cos every other comment is shitting on him. Like we get it, he needs to go cos he isn’t fitting the timeline.

    But the way people act here like he wasn’t one of the few bright spots last year when we were far from being a contender. It legit bums me out.

    I feel sorry for whoever fills in the Barton hate role after Bones is traded. Seems it’ll be Jeff Green from the comments I’ve seen.

  23. HauntedandHorny

    Remember mile high city babyyyyyy. I remember when I thought he’d be here for a long time. Things change fast. I hope he doesn’t hate us

  24. Spirited-Praline1094

    Good night my sweet cherubs. Back to back Murray 30 pt games

  25. For me if we going to sell low on Bones, don’t do it within the division

  26. Urban_Achiever14

    To lose by 17 the way the Warriors shot from 3 is actually insane lol our offense is unstoppable.

  27. Zeus_One

    6 players with at least 17 points is nice af

  28. highkickthrutheroof

    Genuine question. I get the sentiment of wanting to move bones because “he doesn’t fit our timeline” or “we need to win now”. But realistically, can we get someone in return who clearly makes us better? I’m gonna say no. Guys that would truly make an impact like OG is not realistic in my opinion. Personally, I think we have the pieces, it’s more of a matter of finding the right rotations. That being said, if we’re gonna sell low on bones, wouldn’t it be better to just keep him deep on the bench – have him for situations that call for it?

    Tl;dr – Having a sparkplug off the bench when needed (but not in the regular rotation) is better than trying to get lowball offers

  29. PeckyHen92

    With the warriors imploding, we should try to trade for Curry this off season

  30. Praying for Malone to play Cancar over Green going forward

  31. finn_odalih

    At this point, these 40-50pt games don’t move me, unless they’re on a Jamal Murray 50 w/o freethrows on 21/25 type beat.

    Again, I’ll take 6 players with 17+ pts a game any day over Joker having to kill himself with 45 for a 1pt win night after night.

  32. Bones was so good as a backup PG last year, what happened man
