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 1 year ago (1 children)

Jalen Green with the anti-Cade.

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

[–] Frankalicious47@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] mohiben@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

Jokic is pretty good

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

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

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

He is miserable defensively a liability out there

[–] RTLT512@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.

[–] Zbrushgyu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year 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 1 year ago

Jok the Coke with dat trip-dub

[–] elvvay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

MPJ the flame thrower

[–] Dare555@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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

Cancel culture is out of control smh

[–] Tranquili5@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mods are Tony Brothers’ fans.

[–] Alpha1stOne@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

R/mma is a much much better sub

Jamal is back

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

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

[–] RTLT512@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

He's the Monster in the Mountains.

[–] medspace@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wow… who the hell did they lose too?

[–] Ayjel89@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] chizzmaster@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

Free Cam Whitmore

[–] TheNaskgul@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

The Jeff Green interactions were also heart-warming

[–] JasonLikesCTE@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

Sengun is one of the worst defenders I have ever watched

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

Lol gtfo hater

[–] burrito_fister@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

All I want for Christmas is a Rockets road win

[–] polymorph505@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] PsychoWarper@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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