why does it feel like the nuggets and kings have played about 8 times this year

Standard_Landscape_6 | Kings

109 | 10 hours ago

Kings schedule is crazy playing the Thunder Nuggets and Timberwolves nonstop

DerGovernator

43 | 10 hours ago

The whole league schedule has had a lot of this, with the top teams playing bottom teams a lot and not really playing each other much. Of the (other) top 5 Western and Eastern teams in the NBA right now, the Thunder have only played a total of 2 games against those teams so far despite being close to 1/3rd of the way through the season.

Maybe the NBA wanted the better matchups to be in the 2nd half of the season when the NFL’s season is wrapping up

topazswissmas | Toronto Huskies

Pretty sure all 4 OKC v Denver games are after the allstar break lmao it’ll be a bloodbath

DerGovernator

The first I think is right before it, but yeah, basically.

THE MATCHUP EVERYONE’S BEEN WAITING FOR

ARGUABLY THE ONLY REAL THREAT TO OKC’S REIGN & DOMINANCE

If only there was a team that torched the Nuggets without their star player recently!

T0NEZZY | Nuggets

10 | 10 hours ago

Recently ?

We have 6 losses on the season

Warriors by 6 points

Trailblazer by 2 points

Bulls by 3 points

Kings by 5 points

Spurs by 3 points

Mavericks by 10

Torched is a strong suggestion of a massive double digit L

Our biggest L this season was against the Mavericks & they had AD?

Which team without their star player?

1manadeal2btw | Nuggets

4 | 10 hours ago

Spurs

T0NEZZY | Nuggets

9 | 10 hours ago

Torched in a 3 point game without Wemby is hilarious

Nuggets never take the NBA cup seriously, they always lose those cup games to avoid player fatigue. Not once have we advanced deep into the NBA cup since its existence.

1manadeal2btw | Nuggets

5 | 9 hours ago

I agree.

It’s a silly adjective to use especially because we basically troll in the regular season, unless we’re playing contenders.

1manadeal2btw | Nuggets

-2 | 10 hours ago

Yeah, we play down to our competition. I don’t think the Spurs are considered an actual contender though.

Free Westbrook

T0NEZZY | Nuggets

57 | 10 hours ago

I love Brodie

Some people hate him, but he’ll forever be a legend in my book.

Tail end of his career Russ made some boneheaded plays, but prime Westbrook man he was special.

Every now & again you see the occasional glimpses. Shit even last year when Jamal Murray was out for us early in the season, we went on a good little run because of Russ.

Also love Westbrook, but he’s been making boneheaded plays especially shot selection since day 1. The good just used to heavily outweigh the bad

Jokic is just a monster

The Kings got taken out to the woodshed god damn

Hopsalong | Nuggets

57 | 10 hours ago

They asked Jokic postgame why he dominates the Kings so much, and Jokic said “Domantas was out”

Their matchups are like two kaiju fighting

That usually happens to us don’t worry

IllegitimateRisk | Nuggets

57 | 11 hours ago

Cam Johnson 16 points. Watson 21 points. JV 15. And not a single player with more than 30 minutes.

T0NEZZY | Nuggets

26 | 10 hours ago

Every single player was in the postive net ratings too.

Well everyone until Zeke Nnaji messed up our perfect team game.

PM_me_datSmile | Kings

Can’t wait to get a top 3 pick and draft Marvin Bagley

TahoesRedEyeJedi

18 | 9 hours ago

They’ll get the 4th pick, one of the top 3 will fall to 4 (Wilson leapfrogs Boozer), and they’ll pick the 22 year old PG ranked in the mid to late lottery

Vivek is a basketball terrorist for what has done to kings franchise. at lest max looking pretty solid as a starter

Maxine is one of the only reasons I still watch and find a glimpse of joy. He’s been a very pleasant surprise

We went from actual dogshit backup 5s to having maybe the best one in the league lol

Lets keep the DJ slander to a minimum, he wasn’t great but he doesn’t deserve “dogshit”

As a guy he’s ¹⁰⁄₁₀ but he was not an NBA caliber player for us

Placebo_Plex | Nuggets

3 | 6 hours ago

Completely. Love the guy, but he was not playable in the playoffs at all. Insane to think that for a while our only playable backup 5 was our starting 4.

11 straight road wins for the nuggets

NEW FRANCHISE RECORD

Jokic must be ecstatic knowing he has a damn good backup C behind him

T0NEZZY | Nuggets

19 | 10 hours ago

Every Nuggets supporter has been ecstatic since we got him. Right now we’re chilling letting OKC have their moment as we patiently await the returns of Christian Braun & Aaron Gordon.

See you in the Western Conference Finals Oklahoma, but before that we’ll see you again on 2/1/26 & 2/27/26.

CringeCoyote | Nuggets

Not to mention, this is our best start in franchise history. We’re a huge threat and I’m so excited.

topazswissmas | Toronto Huskies

2 | 37 minutes ago

Aside from OKC, Nuggets should be a favorite in any other 7 game series

CringeCoyote | Nuggets

1 | 10 minutes ago

Can’t wait for the two to battle it out. We took them to 7 last year on a crippled team with no depth, things look different this year. They also look a lot more dominant though

ImJeeezus | Kings

Why didn’t Maxime recorded a double double at 2:35 In the 4th quarter then the rebound was change to Clifford when it was clearly Maxine getting the rebound?

Why didn’t the kings use Saric when Eubanks went down

fuzzythinker | Nuggets

2 | 9 hours ago

Murray 1-4 3PM, Johnson 1-5 3PM, THJ 1-6 3PM and starters didn’t even have to be back in 4Q, lol.
