The Nuggets look like Nuggets again but Braun has to play better, he is arguably their worst defensive starter and by far their worst offensive starter

Jamal Finally woke up in the 4th quarter

Insane defensive game by jokic btw. He had some amazing stops but then also had some cartoonish turnovers after those stops.

its funny that Jokic and Avdija technically play the same sport. If you watch their games and observe their whistle, you would think that Avdija was the 3*time mvp. Jokic had 0 FREE THROWS on 28 shots at one point while deni has 14 fts on 11 shots. Obvious missed call against Jokic on 1 end, soft call for Deni.

Camara was insane, Scoot was good, Clingan Was good, Thybulle was excellent.

Strawther and jonas were insane from the Denver bench. Strawther has to get playoff minutes otherwise Adelman is not a serious coach. He can shoot, can drive, and can get Jokic the ball

Even up 18 I felt like Denver was gonna win this game

Denver in the #3 seed makes for a much more interesting playoffs now anyway

Yeah it near guarantees a cool new matchup in denver vs spurs and whoever wins has a [very likely] very interesting series against okc after

I almost worry if okc path ends too easy that wr would be caught off guard coming into wcf

Gordon is so fun to watch in clutch time, he’s unbelievable. Nuggets are dangerous in the final few minutes, they’re going to have some fun playoff games.

Apotheosis62 | Nuggets

I mean when any team shoots over 50% from 3 for 3 quarters games are bound to look like this

runevault | Nuggets

4 | 3 hours ago

yeah if the opponent shoots 48% from 3 on the game, assuming the opponent doesn’t also shoot 45+% from 3, you expect the team to lose.

Denver showing that it’s better to be clutch late than clutch early. Portland built a very advantageous lead with phenomenal shooting and then crumbled as soon as the momentum shifted in Denver’s favor.

50 to 31 in the 4th and OT. The clutch offense felt completely unstoppable and they played really solid defense at the end.

Also holy shit Portland hit 25 3s I was so damn scared of that game

Good teams don’t try to minmax like it’s a gacha game. Nuggets believe they can get the chip, and they’ll have to beat both the Spurs and Thunder for that anyway. This seeding shit blew up in GSW’s heyday, but I don’t think teams throw for matchups all that much, it’d fuck with the players, who are more important.

It is looking likely that Denver gets a top 3 seed. With how Jokic has been playing he really should be MVP. Only thing that is preventing him is voter fatigue. Him finishing with only 3 in his career is only due to the high standards that he set for himself in previous seasons.

The blazers bball iq was so bad, my goodness. Jrue Holiday doesn’t even care anymore because a guy with his level of experience should not have such poor feel especially on offense.

Gave the game away. And Denver are the greatest timely shots merchants I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen a team defense being so bad but still capable of walking down teams.

Blazers odds haven’t really changed? They still need to beat the Kings and Clippers for the 9 seed. No one was planning on winning this game.

The Denver Nuggets (51-28) defeat the Portland Trail Blazers (40-39), 137-132 in overtime
