It was great seeing the whole team giving Uncle Jeff love at the end of the game! He deserves it and will be forever a Nugget in my eyes.

I like when we have our full starting 5

[–] KryptoNike21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jalen Green with the anti-Cade.

26pts on 12 shots and 9 assists w/ 2 turnovers.

[–] Frankalicious47@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I felt like he scored every single one of their points in the 3rd

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

I swear the refs started giving Jokic a few free throws at the end of the 3rd just to ruin the “ethical buckets” comment I was writing in my head

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

Jokic has 34 free throws in his past 6 games

Embiid has 33 in his past 2 games

As a team the Nuggets had 37 assists and only 3 turnovers, on 48 made baskets. The starters had 0 turnovers. Jokic with 15 assists / 0 turnovers.

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

Jokic is pretty good

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

Sengun has become a walking 20/7/5 dude.

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

He is miserable defensively a liability out there

[–] RTLT512@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We literally had the top ranked defense in the NBA going into this game.

Tonight was obviously bad, but there’s just not much we can do against Denver when all of their role players are hitting their shots

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

He's literally top 15 in every single advanced defensive metric this season so far.

It's 2023, might want to update your calendar and join us.

Landale played 13 minutes and every single one was painful. Please get a backup C.

Not sure why Sengun played only 28 mins, B2B?

Most insane stat of the night:

Nuggets had a 37:3 assist to turnover ratio headlined by Jokic's 15-0 contribution

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

This game was not as close as the score implies

Champs came to play tonight. Looked amazing.

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

Jok the Coke with dat trip-dub

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

MPJ the flame thrower

[–] Dare555@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Can someone tell me why mods keep deleting Nuggets highlights here? Jokic posterzing Sengun got deleted 3 times !! And it was trending ...

Constantly deleting Nuggets highlights , blackout during finals i feel like mods here have a hate bonner on Nuggets. Ppl on largest subreddit cant see Denver highlights but Lakers/Warriors one never get touched makes no sense

[–] UndisclosedLocation5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cancel culture is out of control smh

[–] Tranquili5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Mods are Tony Brothers’ fans.

[–] Alpha1stOne@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

NBA mods must be same guys as the ones running UFC. They allowed a lot of racist hatred against one fighter in the build up to the championship fight. And when the fighter they hated won, the shut down the sub for three days out of spite.

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

R/mma is a much much better sub

[–] Substantial_Area7887@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jamal is back

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

At this point playing Jokic in Denver might as well be a scheduled loss lol

[–] RTLT512@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

After that first quarter I was just hoping we wouldn’t lose by 50

[–] Late-Necessary@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's the Monster in the Mountains.

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

Wow… who the hell did they lose too?

[–] Ayjel89@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jokic and Jamal heard y'all talkin about DAJ and Reggie takin their jobs and took it out on the Rockets smh

[–] _s0lace_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I anticipated a loss tonight yet it still hurts lol. JG & Cam looked good though so I’m leaving with something.

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

Am am tripping or is Nuggets offense this year better without Aaron Gordon? Watched decent amount of Nuggets games this year and imo he's been kind clunky. He iso's for no reason and plays like a black hole for a good amount of stretches in games

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

I know you might now look at the box score and go, oh Murray had 16 points and 6 assists on 4/14 shooting. That's not very good. But oh my god does he make the offense flow better, like it felt different 2 possessions into the game. the Jokic Murray 2 man game is so good at getting Jokic the ball in a position that is either a forced bucket, or forces the defense to collapse, leading to the Nuggets getting open shots. Also I think MPJ had like 3 wide open 3s in the second half that was just pure Murray making a great pass after drawing attention, and just missed them. Which was funny considering he was unconscious before that.

Anyway, if you didn't watch the game, your gonna have to just trust me, Jamal Murray was very impactful, and makes a huge difference in how the Nuggets play.

[–] OUEngineer17@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, just Murray off ball action drawing the defense away from the other shooters is huge. So good to see him back.

Jokic and Porter combining for 62 20 and 20

[–] mickelboy182@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ordinarily I'd see this and assume Jokic had 20 assists.

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

When MPJ swung the ball to Jokic for the dunk, I thought we'd entered the Twilight zone.

[–] 9HashSlingingSlasher@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Free Cam Whitmore

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

It’s actually so insane how even a mediocre night on limited minutes from Murray makes this squad look so much better. Absolutely lynchpin

[–] itsamemario1234567@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jokic and Boban end of game was fucking wholesome. Think the Joker was pointing out family to Boban haha

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Jeff Green interactions were also heart-warming

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

Nuggets just exploded in the 1st with like 7 threes and like 4 of them being deep 3s and we just never really came back. Always 12-18 pt game but i still liked the way we played without FVV. Jalen played great in the 3rd and almost started a mini comeback but no one else could hit shots

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

Sengun is one of the worst defenders I have ever watched

[–] Intelligent-Bid-633@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lol gtfo hater

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

Biased but that was a fun game, good vibes on both sides. Jalen Green was scary tonight. I love Jeff Green. Nuggets had the home magic with Jamal back, everything was going in - banked threes, half court shots, MPJ couldn't miss for a while. Rockets still up 2-1 on the season series, which will weirdly end next week in Denver, and Jeff will finally get his ring!

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

All I want for Christmas is a Rockets road win

[–] polymorph505@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is Jamal Murray back? The saga continues....

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

Joker with another ridiculous night, 15 assists and 0 turnovers is some prime CP3 shit.
