Murray leaning over, hands on his knees, looking miserable as he fucking cooks you over and over and over gotta be demoralizing.

Mal NBA, in any case. Dude has been fucking incredible all year and especially in Jokić’s absence.

Edit: a letter. His posture is terrible.

I can’t believe Denver got THJ on a vet minimum. He’s gonna win Denver several playoff games, just gotta make sure they are healthy. Jamal is an easy lock for all star bc leading this team to 7-3 without Jokic is incredible.

I couldn’t watch the game but I clowned on someone a month ago who said the wizards are going to be a force in the next couple years ago and was ready to eat crow keeping an eye on the play by play.

Gg wizards.

TA_Account_12 | SAS

They genuinely are building a great team. They have Sarr who’s a premier shot blocker and can run the break and has great handles for his size. They have great lengthy defensive forwards in Kyshawn and bilal. George is looking great shooting and playmaking as well. Add on to that a rangy 3 point sniper in Tre. If Trae young can go back to the trae young of a couple of years back and can be a good 3 point shooter on top of his elite playmaking, he can help make everyone better. They they have a 3 and d wing in Justin champagnie, a good playmaker in Bub coming off the bench. Plus Vuk while not shooting great this year has shown signs of being a good stretch 5 backup. Add in Will Riley who’s looked good in limited mins and this year’s pick that is a very solid core.

7-3 without Jokic now helps when Murray is playing like a flipping All star

runevault | Nuggets

Frankly Murray has a real shot at all-nba this year.

manquistador | Supersonics

18 | 5 hours ago

I would say he is a lock currently. Still a lot of season to go, but there is no way you can convince me there have been 15 better players than him this year.

runevault | Nuggets

7 | 5 hours ago

I agree with you. The thing that gets interesting is what happens to his numbers once Jokic comes back. But his current level of play is easily top 15.

IllegitimateRisk | Nuggets

11 | 5 hours ago

“What happens to his numbers”

he will likely just score more points

Sikkly290 | Suns

2 | 4 hours ago

He has had the ‘jokic merchant’ tag for a bit, for fair and unfair reasons. Anyone thinking he wont score more with Jokic simply doesn’t know how those two play ball together lol.

-xXxMangoxXx- | Raptors

7 | 5 hours ago

If his shot is falling and hes playing well, jokic is more than happy to let Murray do his thing and play second fiddle when necessary. Having an unselfish superstar who just wants to win above all else is nice.

runevault | Nuggets

3 | 5 hours ago

Yeah there will be games where Jokic just puts up like 6 shots and Lets Jamal cook for sure. But it won’t necessarily be quite as often as he gets to cook now.

I was kind of hoping we would win this game because it would have been funny to be 3-0 vs the Nuggets in our last 3 matchups.

~~Although Jokic didnt play this game so I can at least push the “Wizards own Jokic” agenda /s~~

But for real GGs Nuggets, Jamal Murray is an all star and Tim Hardaway Jr. fucking Boomed us. The tank rolls on

ChristianLesniak | Nuggets

The Wizards played really good. They seem better than their record - Have they been just catching bad breaks this season?

Kennyc1234 | Wizards

10 | 5 hours ago

We’ve played a lot of games close before our coach puts in some absolutely dog shit lineups to tank the game

We have a lot of really promising young players, but we need to tank this year because our pick is top 8 protected, which means if we dont end with a bottom 4 record our pick could go to the Knicks. So this leads to a lot of games where our young guys ball out for most of the game and then we tank it right at the end.

They were playing pretty well those last couple weeks with CJ, but they haven’t won since they traded him (the main point of the trade tbh.)

trae is the tip of the hand that dawkins is going to be making a move out of rebuild and into lets win some games…for next season.

I’m interested to see what else he does at the trade deadline, the past 2 years it’s pretty much telegraphed what the following off-season plan ended up being.

Full-Anywhere-7883

5 | 5 hours ago

Young players lose games. The development and minutes for the young players is worth so much more then having some random 27-29 year old journeymen vets that win you like 4-5 more games over the course of the season.

They said THJ would be up and down. Win us games and shoot us out of games yet he’s been one of the most consistent pieces on our roster this whole season. Nothing but a bucket. Does he just fit our team better or what were all those comments about him?

The THJ experience is that he randomly goes off here and then but also has patches that it seems like he cannot make a shot to save his life.

Great player to have on minimum, and his current role is perfect for him.

TA_Account_12 | SAS

He had been surprisingly consistent this year. 3 months of shooting above 42% from 3. December that dipped to 38% but even that’s not bad.

If this Denver team makes it to playoffs healthy and with Murray/Jokic in form, they are going to be very hard to stop.

Other than Jamal, the whole Nuggets team shot well today.

Edit: I mean aside from the great shooting and performance of Jamal, …

WizzleSir

3 | 5 hours ago

You mean “in addition to Jamal” ? Because Jamal also shot well today.

fuzzythinker | Nuggets

1 | 5 hours ago

My understanding of “other than” is the same meaning as “in addition to”

WizzleSir

3 | 5 hours ago

It’s more similar to “except” or “aside from” or “besides” which has the opposite meaning. So I read your statement as “except Jamal / aside from Jamal / besides Jamal, the nuggets shot well today”

At least that’s how I’ve always understood and used “other than”. But I grew up in Canada, so maybe things are a bit different in the US and elsewhere?

Nuggets was struggling before injury carrousel , now this rooster team is NBA top 3 level! They have gained new avenues to gain games , so basically Adelman can throw surprising layouts every night and it will be a tremendous mistake if He doesn’t . He needs to keep this rooster firing and then am sure they are in the finals 🔥🔥🔥🔥 although they have played mainly the weakest conference so far, the hard core games are closing up but Jokic will also be back 🙌

sorakaisthegoat | Supersonics

Denver lost both of their games against the Wizards last year with Jokic playing. Now they blow them out without him. He has no help though. Definitely not holding this team back. MPJ all star without him, Murray all-star without him, Watson close to, but for years all you heard was how he was carrying bums. Meanwhile they’re 7-3 without him. MVP my ass.

Don’t disrespect the wizards like that. They lead through almost the entire second half.

The Denver Nuggets (29-13) defeat the Washington Wizards (10-31) behind Jamal Murray’s 42 PTS, 121-115.
