If Murray doesn’t end up making All-NBA I will egg a building

Available_Story6774 | West

Imo this is why the Nuggets have a better chance of winning the title this year than they did in 2024 and 2025, this is the best Murray has ever been, even better than he was in the 2020 and 2023 playoffs, Nuggets are on a quiet 7 game winning streak, but they’re starting to get into form heading into the playoffs, which is huge, they will almost certainly get homecourt advantage in round 1 now.

ilikekittens2018 | Nuggets

Cam Johnson and Christian Braun also put up great performances tonight and have been consistently raising their season averages since they returned from injury. AG looked rough on offense but I’ll chalk that up to rust. I know he’ll show up when we need him most.

bdybwyi

His burst is completely gone, and I have next to zero faith his can stay healthy for 4 rounds of the playoffs, looking unlikely PWat can either with his hammy at this point too

Hopsalong | Nuggets

Except that Watson reaggravated his hamstring and THJ hurt his knee tonight. This is after Spencer Jones has done something to his leg a few games ago.

Narrow-Theory-3533

Not regarrivated. Hamstring tightness.

CheesewayBreezeway | Nuggets

5 | 12 hours ago

Agreed on the Jamal front, though the chemistry/energy still seems off, and Jokic is making more mental mistakes (and getting rattled by bad reffing) than usual. It’s nice to win 7 in a row regardless of who they’re playing, but I’m looking forward to Saturday to see what their higher gears look like for a game against an actually good team

CaptainCerealCanada | Nuggets

he’s a 3rd team lock. 2nd vs 3rd team will be the question

Kvsav57

I honestly think he should make 2nd team without question. He’s a top ten player in the league this year.

Ngl, the sheer amount of unnecessary Jokić outlet passes that were so obviously going to get stolen made me lose my mind in the 3rd.

Standard Jokic troll game against bad teams. Got annoyed by some calls and stopped wanting to even cross half court

IcyTie9

44 | 12 hours ago

jokic was having a great game, got mad about a couple of plays and decided to not play defense and turn it over 4 times out of nowhere for a horrendous 3rd quarter

good news is our government mandated daily injury guys seemed mostly fine and being cautious, Val is also looking better which hopefully means hes playable come playoffs

I cannot overstate how much I hate playing the jazz this season. It’s always the sloppiest shit I’ve ever watched and they always make it a game despite that

jimzzz38

If the Jazz aren’t actively tanking, they will at least 2 of these games.

Same. Very nice color commentary and insight. They just ooze basketball experience.

This is only the second or third time I’ve heard CJ Miles doing it this season, so it’d be nice if he was there more.

Just your casual triple double for the Joker

Murray has been a dawg this season

greywolf2155 | Supersonics

Jokic triple-double with only 15 points hits like crack. Gorgeous basketball (ignore his 4th quarter please and thank you)

FERFreak731 | Jazz

16 | 12 hours ago

Brice and Flip doing this off the bench when the Jazz lead by 30 at halftime next season will be cinema

Apotheosis62 | Nuggets

10 | 12 hours ago

Jokic once again doesn’t really give a fuck about playing the Jazz 76 games into the season and everyone is going to lose their mind about it.

Coke_ButNotTheDrug | Nuggets

12 | 12 hours ago

As rough as a season as it’s been, I’m slowly gaining confidence they can put it together in the playoffs

Murray is and has always been our playoff x-factor; when he’s playing well, the Nuggets are just a different beast.

These last few games should hopefully get the rest of the team into game shape, and if the team can stay healthy, I think they’re gonna be a big problem.

Academic-Style-6105 | Nuggets

10 | 11 hours ago

Upcoming games against Spurs and OKC are crucial for our confidence

Haydaddict | Nuggets

Rough game but the starters got it done. Good to see Jamal Murray sinking 3s with confidence.

TheNaskgul | Nuggets

3 | 12 hours ago

Thank god, since he wasn’t sinking anything else

ilikekittens2018 | Nuggets

1 | 12 hours ago

This how I imagine a player gotta look on 2k if they max the 3pt but forget their middy and layup package cause it was horrid tonight from inside the arc lol

IllegitimateRisk | Nuggets

7 | 12 hours ago

Regardless of the box score these are good games for the starters to gel.

UnusualTarget7661

cant wait for the post about how the jazz shouldve won this one but didnt due to their blatant tanking by not playin bez mbeng and john konchar 30+ minutes

MegaAltarianite

Rarely get excited over second round picks, but Kyle Filipowski is going to be an important piece next season if he can keep it up.

John Konchar had quite a game from what I watched, damn.

ilikekittens2018 | Nuggets

Jazz have a lot of good players hidden behind the horrible record. They’re gonna be a real problem next year, especially with a top pick.

Disappointed that nobody seems to care that Jokic has now clinched another triple-double season.

The following players took as many or more shots than Nikola Jokic did in this game:

Cam Johnson

Christian Braun

Jamal Murray

Brice Sensabaugh

Ace Bailey

Kyle Filipowski

Cody Williams

Kennedy Chandler

I understand that this was not the most difficult of mountains to climb in terms of opponent but he’s gotta take more than 10 shots when he’s passing the ball right to the Jazz 5 times a night.

Jamal’s earned the right to take 26 shots because he’s been on a heater and a half for about three weeks now but Jokic freezes himself out of the offense far too easily for the sake of “team basketball” like he’s not one of the best offensive weapons in the sport.

The Nuggets have played the Jazz three times in the last 30 days and they were in serious danger of losing all three times because Jokic was foul-baiting like shit (first game), put forth the worst defensive tape a singular player has had all season (second game), and was overly passive while still turning the ball over an egregious number of times (tonight).

ChilledGopher

21 | 12 hours ago

It takes a frankly stunning lack of ball knowledge to make this comment when the Nuggets scored 130 points even with AG laying an egg and Jokic having some sloppy turnovers. If Jokic had taken more shots, would they have scored 140 instead?

Offense was not an issue for the Nuggets tonight.

Stephen a smith ahh take

Terrible-Suit9991 | Nuggets

19 | 12 hours ago

He’s trying to get everyone cooking as the season winds down. If there’s no need to shoot he’d rather pass. He has said this so many fucking times now.

RanceSama3006 | Nuggets

8 | 11 hours ago

Gotta disagree at times like these you gotta get guys like cam use to taking shots, jokic kept passing to him Q1 to get him to shoot more and hopefully keep the momentum he’s been showing the last couple of games.

If we’re gonna be real contenders we need every nugget to be as close to 100% as possible

FERFreak731 | Jazz

-11 | 12 hours ago

Jokic looked passive today. 6 foot 5 Jitty was locking down Jokic. The Nuggets’ lack of interior defense is telling. First round exit IMO

ilikekittens2018 | Nuggets

8 | 12 hours ago

First round exit to who lmfao what are we talking about? We play down horrifically which is why this looked close. We don’t play like this against real teams.

gnjurci

If they look like this, without a doubt they are first round exit

The Utah Jazz league pass channel is showing a modern interview with Karl Malone about how he got his nickname?

Disgusting.

Disgusting person, and any affiliation with him is despicable. What a shit team, can’t wait for them to drop 4 spots in the lottery

But it was a problem when he was benched for a 4th quarter while having a good game.
