Given the Nuggets recent performance without Jamal Murray, I can see the rockets winning this one. Especially since their defense is really good.

[–] LegateDamar13@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Good luck Rockets bros. May the better team win.

[–] panchettaz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I see the Nuggets are already pulling my favorite "get everyone except MPJ to shoot 3s"

[–] PowerfulEnd226@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jokic's defense the last few games has been non-existent

[–] Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Was that Jokic yelling at Christian Braun or whoever on POA defense?

Seems like Jokic is frustrated.

[–] 3rdEyeDeuteranopia@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was pretty like oh shit when this game started since Jokic was in MVP form but then the Rockets went on a 13-0 run.

[–] cryocake_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

big guy getting calls, something's gonna happen at the clutch

[–] Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Uncle Jeff still got it

The Lebron of role players

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Denver could really use a 3rd guy who can create a shot

It's insane how bad everyone other than Jokic or Murray looks when they have to actually dribble the ball lol

[–] homiez@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They won a title with this formula, so it seems okay

[–] ffz_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

At least we're keeping it close with joker on the floor. Let's hope bench shows up like last time we played them.

[–] screwt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jokic is absolutely killing right now.

[–] jacobythefirst@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jokic is taking so many 3’s this year, and I think that it’s not that he’s just settling cause he’s tired or his wrist hurts, but I think it’s cause he thinks that’s the next big step in his game and is trying to extend his range to being a consistent and volume 3pt shooter.

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Denver depth really could be a lot better

I don't think I've ever seen another championship team that instantly becomes play-in caliber if you remove their 2nd best player

[–] TheRealLardin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Uncle Jeff Green will have like a 35 inch vertical until he´s 48

[–] PeepDurpel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nah he just gets buffs against his nephews

[–] jacobythefirst@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Garrett almost hit that half court shot, rip

[–] DefiniteSauce12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Everyone outside of Jokic is 1-16. Rockets don’t respect anyone outside of Jokic

[–] jacobythefirst@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Rockets hitting some circus shots tonight

Long step back 3’s, acrobatic and tough layups, just getting everything they want.

[–] JimmyV34@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

someone not named jokic need to score

[–] RGPISGOOD@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

lol Jeff Green always gets up for the Nuggets

[–] ExtraLow@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why doesn’t Denver just have five Jokic’s? Are they stupid?

[–] jacobythefirst@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jeff Green and being prime Wilt vs the Nuggets lol

[–] SeeingThings123@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This looks even rougher in person

[–] jacobythefirst@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Holy shit Denver, stop driving and getting blocked every time

Rockets to the moon with their stocks

[–] timmysp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sigh the rockets are never beating the allegations we can only win against injured teams

[–] ffz_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nuggets gotta change their play signs when they play vs Jeff Green

[–] JimmyV34@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

rockets defense has been amazing this season, i wanted Udoka despite being a piece of shit human being but rockets were the worst defensive team last year

[–] ffz_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't think anyone knows enough of what happened to warrant calling some a piece of shit.

[–] laz10@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

feel like pure shit just want him back

jeff green

[–] Limitsshowersack@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is Malone actually a good coach? The offense without jokic is basically nonexistent

[–] Obvious_Parsley3238@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

no one can run point other than murray who's out

[–] KaLdapussydestroyer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nuggets scored 2 points this quarter lol

[–] Pennywise_Throwaway@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If Jokic is even missing the close-range hook-shots then we are completely screwed

[–] jacobythefirst@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nuggets are fricking sucking a rock rn

Common at least make it close

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Some people say that Steve Kerr is a fraud who gets carried by Steph

That isn't really true but this is what the actual example of something like that looks like in real time lol

[–] Next-Firefighter-753@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nuggets need Murray

[–] StellarStar1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What happend? I left it when it was like 20-23

[–] 8mmspikes@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thats a weak foul call

[–] jacobythefirst@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Denver cutting it below 20 is imo important.

Jokic killing it but the rest of the squad needs to keep hitting their shots

Idk if Houston keeps up the crazy shooting, but if they do it’s ogre

Jokic is going to need to surpass Kobe's 81 if Denver are going to win this one lol

It's just not happening for anyone else right now

[–] ManyCookies@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Considering this game was looking like it'd be 58-29 at halftime 10 minutes ago... could be worse. Still within Jokic magic run range.

[–] addieman54@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bruh, you're 6'11", dunk that!

[–] Next-Firefighter-753@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gillespie is god awful

[–] laz10@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

mpj and gordon are just turnover machines man, as soon as they try anything other than catch and shoot for mpj and close range dunk for gordon

for a guy that strong and athletic to get stripped by FVV in the post is just sad

[–] ajteitel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe the low elevation is messing with the Nuggets

[–] JokicOrBust@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

There is really no point in Aaron Gordon drawing fouls when he is shooting 50% from the FT line

[–] Pennywise_Throwaway@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gordon is soooooooo bad in isolation

[–] StephenPurdy69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

AG is washed. He’s so bad can’t even’s get to the rim anymore

[–] DefiniteSauce12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wonder if Jokic will do some wild shit today lol. 3 games in a row, could be 4 with today
