  1. So much for Murray fans’ pregame predictions of 30-40 points. At what point does the hopium wear off and they come to grips with reality… CB outplayed him again…and by the way, Braun is the only Nuggets player aside from Jokic to have scored in double figures in every game so far this season. Shot 100% tonight. He’s nasty.

  4. Anyone see Russ tap Joker on the head with the ball after they fought for a rebound in late 4th quarter? It was funny

  5. Christian Braun is a top 10 SG in the NBA dont @ me. His consistency has been CRUCIAL while we’ve been … shakey

  7. Russ went 29 points against OKC in a win then almost a triple double against the team that hates him the most. He’s so fucking fun to watch

  8. Anyone know how the Kansas dude’s bet that Kinect 4 would have a better game than Murray went? How many stacks did he drop and did they already shut his internet off?

  10. My general take with our backup C position is we have Saric and DAJ that have very different skills and match up differently.

    In a weird way, because Saric is proving to be less than good, it’s forcing us to play DAJ more. It now it’s clearer when we can play one over the other. Plus DAJ is like 15% better playing with Brodie so he can be serviceable at times.

    It’s a weird sum of their parts is better than the whole kind of thing.

  12. Nuggets win ✅

    Austin Reaves played well ✅

    ASU is going to be a playoff team ✅

    My semester is almost over ✅

    Oh yeah things are coming up Savahoodie

  17. We are the greatest 3rd Q team in history, I wish we could be a great 1, 2 and 4 W team as well

  18. It’s obvious Malone wanted to tank that game last night to set the record for most winningest coach against the lakers lol no I’m just kidding but it’s the most nuggets thing ever

  22. I am a huge Westbrook fan and it has been so awesome seeing him succeed with your squad. Tonight was extra special because of how badly lakers fans and honestly whole team treated Russ.

  23. Hot take: Jamal was solid tonight.

    Shot is still a bit clunky, but he was in the flow of the offense most of the time and helped us move the ball while he was out there

  24. Lmao at 6:00 in the 4th Jokix gets a rebound over Russ and passes to him and then Russ boops him on the head with the ball, I enjoy this pair

  25. I turned this game on after the Nuggets went up like 22 in the 4th with 10 minutes to play. Murray proceeds to have a turnover, get his shot blocked, fouls a Laker for an and one, and bricks a free throw to go 1-5 from the line. For some reason, he was still on the floor after a Moach timeout.

  26. I’m liking this Westbrook guy. He is perfect in his role and I really hope we get him a ring and us another. I feel like this year he gets his flowers.

  27. Nuggets blow out the Lakers. It was another great 3rd quarter that fueled a comeback (this time ending in victory), winning the quarter 36-15. Michael Porter Jr. with a double double 24/11/4 shooting 10-15 (4-7 from 3).

    The non Jokic minutes were a disaster in the first half. Jokic came out with the Nuggets up 4 and came back to an 8 point deficit (-12). The second half was better as the Nuggets managed to play even. The garbage time minutes made it (-14) for the game.

    Combine that with the (-7) from last night, and you get (-21) for the B2B. Add that to the season total, and we have:

    #-100

  34. I had been “cautiously optimistic” about russ but, man, I’m completely sold now. He should start instead of Murray, at least until Jamal is back to full fitness.

    I wish he could still make his layups, but Westbrook has been fantastic so far, even with his abysmal 2pt shooting

  35. Random meaningless factoid for Lakers fans to sleep on and wet their beds tonight: If Playoffs started now, Nugs would play Lakers in 5/4 seed matchup.
