142 points, 44 assists, and one whooped ass

I understand they were on a back to back, but running Denver out the gym like that in Denver is crazy.

Good news: Jokic rediscovered the ability to summon God inside the arc

Bad news: Everything else. Actually everything else. Murray’s hurt. Everyone outside of Jokic was dogshit on offense. Everyone - especially Jokic - was dogshit on defense. Half their rotation is heading towards unplayable territory. Got bitched on the boards. Knicks couldn’t miss a shot after the first 5 minutes of the game. Nuggets couldn’t hit a shot if they weren’t a member of the two-man game. The jumpshooting looks like 10 guys inherited Michael Kidd-Gilchrist’s shooting form. Pacome Dadiet had a better game than anyone on the Nuggets roster not wearing 15.

OKC is stacking their guys to come back against a now likely Murray-less Nuggets on Monday. They’ll then get Houston, San Antonio, the Lakers again, and Philadelphia, likely all without the jelly to their peanut butter.

4th Quarter gave me second hand embarrassment lmao

That was pretty cool and I liked it a lot

OG just hates the Rocky Mountains for some reason

I think Denver would’ve still headed for a loss if it didn’t happen, but once Murray went out they rolled over

The Nuggets were doubling Brunson aggressively all night, but it’s a beautiful thing when your best player shoots 3-13 and you still put up 142. Great team basketball

You’re not going to win any games when one of your main strengths is three-point shooting, and you shoot 20% from three. Jamal’s injury left Jokic as the only consistent scorer on the team and his 3-point shot is pretty awful at the moment. His touch does seem like it’s back to normal though

The top end of the east is better than the west

The Murray injury sucks so much

But as an aside, 7 assists by Kolek in 7 minutes of garbage time is kinda crazy

If the nuggets were a real team, they would fire Adelman today. the nuggets were up 10 and then Adelman decided it was time for 1 big and 4 small lineups for 15 mins straight. Legit a 20+ point turn around in that span. i have never seen a human being understand momentum less. I think he is single handedly responsible for 10 Nuggets losses this year which is crazy for a head coach. that 30 seconds of extra Jokic rest is less important than a 7 point in-game swing

Someone make a Brunson despite the bad shooting post. 15 assists 🔥🔥🔥

David Adelman about to get taken out back like Old Yeller

Gotta figure out how to raise MSG a mile above sea level, bc high altitude OG is a beast

Pacome Dadiet legacy game

7-1 against Denver over the last 4 seasons. Complete domination.

OG been so damn good for the Knicks 

The Nuggets are a mess 

I very much prefer the Knicks going supernova in the 3rd quarter rather than getting clobbered in the 3rd quarter. More of this please!

Damn didn’t know OG balled like that

YERRRRRRRRRR

Dadiet had a 9 point run by himself beautiful fucking stuff

3rd String Legacy 4th Quarter

The Nuggets got massacred at home. Great win by the Knicks.

Our garbage lineup would probably smoke a couple of these tanking teams lol

hnnnngggggg

I genuinely don’t remember the last time we lost to the Nuggets

Tell someone before the game Brunson got outscored by Dadiet. What would you think?

Every three point chucking team should get a guy like Mitch Robinson recycling your bricks in the paint real-time.

But there’s only one Mitch.

OG against the Nuggets is hilarious. He will hit ridiculous shots, successfully iso people, and just dominate. he’s always special, but against the Nuggets he is unreal

Josh Hart and Pacome Dadiet combined to outscore Brunson and KAT and they won by 39. Did not have that on my bingo card.

OG. The Prince. My goat.

Knicks are so good on the glass!!! OG was spectacular tonight on both ends of the floor.

Don’t think Jamal would be out for too long but as it is soon approaching the playoffs this is concerning. Hope for a speedy recovery since the core five still have to gel.

Again, I watch the Knicks for Mitch’s OREBs lol.

Kolek 8 assists in 8 min

Our garbage lineup would probably smoke a couple of these tanking teams lol

Knicks are 7-1 in their last 8 matchups against the Nuggets with avg. margin of victory being 17 pts

Pacome Dadiet human victory cigar hit so good

In the last 5 days the Knicks annihilated the Nuggets and whupped the Spurs and went down to the last possession with OKC.

Ok but like over the past like 3 years why have the Knicks given consistent belt to the nuggets?

I kinda like the Nuggets, but man oh man they are in a bad way right now and it just got worse with Murray going down

Anyway, OG is a terrifying player when he turns aimbot on, and if we can get any sort of offensive consistency going we are truly truly dangerous

You guys know that scene in Dune Part 2 where Paul gives that incredible speech to the Fremen?

That’s what I imagine Jalen Brunson’s speech at the team meeting was like because the Knicks have barely lost since. Also have a Top defense I believe.

Mile High MSG

I knew beginning of the season nuggets wouldn’t do shit. Scam Johnson trade ruined this team.

I hope Jamal is ok

Man the Nuggets fucking hate playing the Knicks haha.

Denvers worst home loss this century and the Knicks 3rd straight 30+pt win in Denver. We’re just a bad matchup for them since they dont have a Brunson stopper or the rebounders we do

ANUNOBY OWNS THE NUGGETS

all our guys are dead, we have some players that have proven they REALLY struggle against these top teams and they are having yet another bad showing

please adelman just one (1) singular time adjust to the fucking game we’re playing, how are we down by like 40 before we play pickett

Knicks absolutely own the Nuggets for some reason.

Lmao almost all of Jokic’s missed shots are 3PA

³⁄₂₇ from deep at the end of the 3rd lmao

I don’t want to be hyperbolic, but the Nuggets play compared to their talent level has to be among the most embarrassing in the modern NBA. This was one of the most pathetic performances from a team on the short list of “title contenders” I have ever seen. I don’t care that Murray got hurt, Gordon is working himself back and it was his first game, or that it’s a back-to-back.

Their offense has no energy or imagination. Just let Jokic orchestrate from the high post and hit guys to brick three point shots. No one attacks the rim.

Their defense though, oh my fucking God. I don’t want to hear shit about Jokic being top ten all-time. His defensive effort is the worst in the NBA. Never closes out, never contests at the rim, doesn’t even pretend to go after a jumper. Just consistently gives up wide open threes and lay ups. Game after game. Steph Curry might have defensive limitations, but watch how hard he fights every single game. Jokic sets the tone for the team, and well, we’re seeing it.

40 point home loss in a tight race for seeding in a tough conference. They act like they’ve earned the right to flip the switch like the Kobe-Shaq Lakers (which didn’t work, by the way), when they won a single title three fucking years ago and haven’t been back in the conference finals since.

I don’t care about thirty-pint triple doubles, this is why you need to watch the games. Zero pride.

Goodness

I am so sick of Adelman running these 4 guard lineups. Jokic is forced to show and we don’t have a player big enough to contest these cuts to the basket. Christian Braun for some reason is getting blown by powerforwards. This season is hell.

I love OG so much

I miss you OG 😔😔

Nuggets are screwed this season lol. They don’t have enough depth as it is, let alone cover for their starters going down 1 by 1

I know the Nuggets have a tough stretch but my goodness, it was Jokic vs the Knicks for most of the game.

Belt to ass

Our third string guys genuinely looked better than some of the nuggets second unit

Nuggets are the Milwaukee Bucks of the west. Without their star player, they’re a G-league team

MAGIC BRUNSON, LOOK OUT LEAGUE

Nuggets are tanking for a lottery pick

What’s the record for the difference between largest win and largest loss in a two-week span? 93 points seems pretty high

I legit don’t understand why we match up so well against the Nuggets.

We’ve won seven out of our last eight games against them, and haven’t lost since March 24, 2024.

The team’s gameplan/roster has changed a ton over those years (Start of the Brunson era, Villanova/Hospital Knicks, adding KAT, etc.), so it’s not like we’re a static roster they just can’t beat.

Adelman is not an NBA coach

Brunson getting as many dishes as FGA, KAT shooting >50% and OG being assertive is the way to go

This is 2023 Bucks West

That was the year that Jokic lapped Giannis, and 26 is the year that Shai lapped Jokic. It’s ova in mile high 

victory cigar dadiet im dying bro

Brunson with the wild 9pt game shooting 3-13 but had 15asts lol.

And Adelman had a full roster available minus only PWat. Seriously what the fuck was he thinking? At this point you might as well bring back Earl Boykins and put him at the back up 5

Biblical beatdown

YOU BETTA STOP OG

Man those percentages are tragic. Only Jokic knew how to score for the Nuggets. Rest of the team didnt even know how to score lay ups.

Hopefully Murray gets healthy soon.

I picked the wrong night to stop doing hard drugs

Feel bad for Murray getting hurt, that sucks. Knicks ran a train on the Nuggets tho, defense is good, limiting turnovers, and we’re getting good play (and minutes) beyond the starting 5. Definitely feels different than last year’s team

I keep staring at the box score and can’t figure out where 142 points came from

This sub hates the Knicks. We smoke the Nuggets and the post game thread is on page 2.

A few weeks back the Pistons beat us by like 20 and it was at the top for the whole day.
