It’s games like that that cause nuggets fans to act foolish in public but no one is awake at 11 central to understand why. So many games he just gets ignored by the whistle.

Blazers are really large and physical, great on defense and had Jok struggling and settling for bad threes for multiple possessions. It’s just that once our players started making their 3 pointers, you couldn’t contain his passing anymore and it opened up the spacing way more for him to get easier shots and isos as well.

I’ve said before you have OKC’s defensive tendencies you just don’t have an offensive player in SGA’s realm to make you unstoppable

When y’all strap up and lock in on defense you’re as physical, quick, and handsy as just about anyone and hitting 25 3s is the death knell that normally allows that to translate to a win

Just gotta practice clutch games for the playoffs now that most of the squad is back together lol

Don’t even know if he turned it on. He was trying all game which is why he had so many steals and blocks. Dude just couldn’t shoot in the middle quarters.

Yeah, this is a bit of a Pyrrhic for the nuggets in the health sense. Not sure it’s worth it given the 4th seed may be better and the lakers are fucked.

But if this is what’s necessary to set the tone for the team, to dial in prior to the playoffs it’s worth it. Nuggets since winning have operated under the assumption they can flip a switch. This year it’s been concerningly lacking. There last two games have been encouraging.

Bro I’ve never been more disgusted with someone’s play than Deni tonight. By far the worst free throw merchant in the league he looked like garbage when he didn’t get his calls. 

Sometimes when you’re having an abysmal shooting night, on the same night the other team is having the best 3-point shooting night in the 56 year history of their franchise, it takes until overtime to roll them.

and with portland shooting their franchise high in threes

there is no easy path in the west, whoever comes out will have had a tough road.

I mean they are not avoiding them if they want to win

FG percentage is being dragged down by those missed tips but at the same time probably no triple double without them also counting as OREBs

Gets a triple double in more than 50% of his games and people be like “will it wasn’t an impressive triple double”

oh because he hurt him hammie in that loss to the thunder. yeah too bad for luka.

Yeah if the top 3 are Big Honey, the Joker, and some Serbian horse jockey
