Almost choked again. Phew

The Nuggets outshot Memphis, got more free throws, got 23 more rebounds, and still barely won. They are looking so sloppy.

Denver is good at choking

RanceSama3006 | Nuggets

Nah we just either play at an opponents level or relax our actual game plans, but rarely would I call it outright choking since usually that implies you’re still trying but failing.

They usually fix it by playoffs but god if it wasn’t a stressful bad habit.

It feels like every loss denver has had this season has been extremely close idk why

Its simultaneously really fun and also really stressful

RanceSama3006 | Nuggets

Yeah…there’s definitely been games where they either can’t fix it, cause the other team got their momentum or it’s just too little too late.

Most of our games are close (our worst one is 10 points iirc but on avg probably around 5 points) in the perfect world they’d pick their battles on when they’ll try the entire match and when they’ll take it easy, but with the current nuggets mindset it’s almost like they only wanna win by a hairs edge lol.

AM1232 | Nuggets

They’re a really good team in general. However, their offense is the superpower here, and their defense is heavily reliant on a lot of guys who’ve been injured quite often this season, so quite often they struggle at times to hold on to leads or successfully come back. The Portland game was just pure BS though, refs took over. And while limited sample size so far suggests they can be very good at defense, they still have weaknesses that are being targeted more often now.

Unlike OKC they just don’t have the defensive energy and volume 3pt shooters to wear a team down and blow them out quickly. I trust them in the playoffs when things slow down since they’re good at the hard things

RanceSama3006 | Nuggets

Id argue our individual defenders are pretty good to great, I mean once healthy we have AG, cam, THJ is a solid defender, Braun, Watson and Jones but either our defensive plans are too simple or outright weak that nothing ever really comes together defensively compared to other teams

That was way more competitive than it had any right to be. That’s some fun tanking right there.

Ok_Breakfast4482 | Nuggets

We weren’t tanking, it was only that competitive because Jokic had 9 turnovers. He’s still not 100% back from the injury. Grizzlies had 22 points off turnovers to our 4 points.

We were tanking, my friend. The person you responded to was implying that our tank commanders remained competitive with your full team, and that made it fun despite the loss.

Casual triple double for the Joker

Tim Hardaway Jr has been balling recently for the Nuggets

itsnotyellowfever | MEM

11 | 10 hours ago

Nuggets would be in deep shit without THJ

The fact that he doesn’t know anything but shoot basketball has bailed them out so much when Jokic won’t do anything but pass against AI-generated frontcourts or this recent stretch where Jamal also hasn’t been playing all that well

Hardaway fits that role that Jeff Green filled in 2022-2023. A dude who has been productive in the league for too many years to be intimidated by anyone and understands that the ball just needs to go in the hoop

FuckLebumFlukaGayker | Spurs

Damn near quadruple double from the joker

i was at this game, and it was not a pretty watch. But I love that even a terrible Jokic game is still a 26-point triple double on league average efficiency. Very lucky THJ popped off otherwise this was going to be an embarrassing L.

Shoutout to the warriors fan who said we threw the last game because we didn’t play KCP in the clutch lol

angel2timez | CHI

Scottie pippen should have had like 3 free throws in that last min

RanceSama3006 | Nuggets

1 | 10 hours ago

Love the nuggets team but one of the more risky things about them is how they’ll either play at the opponents level or relax whenever they’re in the lead, it’s why Denver rarely gets blow outs and why as a nuggets fan you can trust a 16+ lead unless there’s 30 secs left lol

Sensitive_Worry2499

they got it but way closer than it should be

Jokic was dying out there at the end, clearly not at 100% yet

The Denver Nuggets (35-20) defeat the Memphis Grizzlies (20-33), 122-116.
