Pickett DPOG
Happy for Pickett man hopefully he gets more opportunities and can continue to build on this
Glad I had the opportunity to be at this game. Awesome 4q bench minutes. What was the non-Jokic +/-??
Vic Lombardi hates kids confirmed
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Gordon – MPJ – Jokic – Westbrook – Braun
That particular lineup has the best body language on the court. Something about the tone changes when Westbrook is out there with the starters, and for the better.
Would like to see PJ Hall get real mins
We need to trade DPOG Pickett for a frp so we can trade Zeke.
IMHO.
For all of the drama we are 1 loss behind 2nd place. And 5-1 in our last 6.
Jamal is also finally looking better. And I expect the young guns like Pwatt and Strawther will only improve as the season goes on.
Why are people yelling for this to be blown up?
I’m treating this one as a win honestly
Wemby is crazy soft. I can’t wait until everyone starts hating him
Lakers just lost to Detroit
Cherry on top: Lakers lose to Pistons.
LMFAOOOO LAKERS this is a good night

What do you call a bunch of chess players bragging about their games in a hotel lobby?
Chess nuts boasting in an open foyer… 😂😂🎅
Nuggets winning comfortably. Wolves, Warriors losing. Pistons sweeping the season series against the Lakers. There is a God!!!
Holy shit, that 6ers/Spurs game is hilarious
Well well well… go nuggets I suppose
Nuggets munder with Jokic playing less than 30 min, plus Lakers, Warriors and Celtics all lose. The perfect night of basketball.

Bros Nikola is always chucking half court heaves and grenades at the end of quarters… how the fuck he is still above 50% from 3? This is so insane lol
Zeke Nnaji was +2 in 4 minutes played with 0/0/0.
It’s pretty sad when you feel like this is the best outcome.
MPJ’s post game sounding like a farewell speech 🙁
To clarify, they asked him about the trade rumours.
Anyone disappointed in PWat’s body language and lack of iq today/finishing? He plays hard, but he looks out of control and he hangs his head on every mistake.
MPJs response about trade rumors were super awesome.
I also loved “yeah I watched your show…I didn’t watch the whole thing though” lol LMAO
Strawther was awesome tonight. He was aggressive in defense, especially the first time he came into the game. And I continue to be impressed by Tyson’s hustle and effort.
Nug fans have been struggling a bit this year, but so many western conference “contenders” are in a much worse spot.
Lake Show is more cringe than 5280.
What a great win by the Nuggets! Winners of 5 of their last 6 games. I haven’t been updating the Jokic +/- as of late (mostly because of all the doom), but I took a look at it after tonight after noticing the Nuggets were +8 tonight without the big man. The season sits at:
#-118
That ain’t too bad.
Edit: I took a bit of a deep dive because even after double checking my math, it was right, but it didn’t seem right.
After the Nuggets loss to the Wizards, the non-Jokic minutes were sitting at -142.
Since then, the Nuggets have not only won 5 of the last 6 games but have been +24 overall in their non Jokic minutes!! Positive in 5 of the 6 games! The one game that they were negative was the win over the Kings (-3).
Edit 2: that doesn’t math right. I’m lost now.
Edit 3: I think I fixed it.
Nikola Jokic is Devin Booker father
Hunter Tyson’s ceiling is like, Alex Caruso-lite
Foster kitty is a HANDFUL! Very sweet and very shy boy, by he also LOVES to scratch things up and I love for my things to not be scratched up. He’s sleeping in a little bed in the bathroom tonight.
They could NEVER make me hate any of the nuggets. MPJ, Russ, Jamal, whoever the scapegoat of the week is.
Scrolling for the doomers.
Joker outrebounded by 3 guards. What a bum. How is Malone still starting him?
Fire Malone.
the first JUNDER/MUNDER these season so far. can be called double-munder also.
I watched the Bucks v Bulls before the Nuggets game (we watch all the Bucks and Nuggets games) and was trying to form an opinion of LaVine. He moves around great. Bucks were missing Giannis and Dame and dominated them. LaVine took a ton of bad shots. While he moved around great, looked like a stat guy to me. Follow that game with MPJ going off and MPJ was the clear better player. When he is locked in like tonight his ceiling is so much higher. Make or Miss MPJ generally has pretty solid shot selection. LaVine was shooting whatever just like the rest of the Bulls who missed line 50 3’s, lol. I’m very done a complete 180’ on MPJ in 24 hours. He needs to bring that energy more often though.
According to Pickett, Russ comes in every single night to shoot with the young guys
Stay until you want to leave brodie
MPJ shot 83% tonight. I went to see how many games Lavine shot that or better and couldn’t find any from 2020-now (I gave up before I could do his career).
I like when the nuggets play defence!
