Jamal Murray with 42 and Jokic with 35 combining for 77 points.
This season would be completely hopeless without Trevon. I am officially Brazilian 🇧🇷
Is he actually Brazilian? He lowk looks like one lol. Crazy game from him, a dawg
He’s from Springfield, Missouri
Which I believe is somewhere in Brazil
I can’t be this slow 💀 it’s bcuz of his last name
Nah, but it would probably be good for his brand if he got a dual-citizenship or something lol
How did Brazille fall to the second round? Instant plug and play player for Denver and a pretty fucking good one at that
Scouting isn’t an exact science
Everytime I watch a Pels game it breaks my heart.
Must be masochism subjecting yourself to the pelicans while simultaneously being a kings fan
My favorite Eastern Conference team is the Hornets too. I should probably just go to therapy.
i’m so sorry bro
Maybe watching these teams is your therapy
Sometimes I think I moved to the pnw because I like being sad and melancholy
l used to root for Det Lions + N 0 Saints
I find it charming that the Pels break your heart. Every time I watch a game, it just gives me another reason to nuke the entire organization into the earth.
Lost by 3 to Indy, by 1 to Utah, and then lost this one in OT after being up 23 tough breaks to start the season.
They led the league last year in blown fourth quarter leads with 21. They really need to figure something out.
Blowing 20 pt leads is so in this season
Murray is so cold when he’s healthy
*when healthy and not playing the Thunder or T-Wolves
McDaniels just owns him
Pretty sure mcdaniels just owns everybody, I hate that dude but he’s just so good
Between the Nuggets and Broncos, I’m not making it past 50.
TRUE, 0 , so true
Literally
Would love just one comfortable single win from either team. Nothing is ever easy and both teams play down to their competition.
Add in Texas and I don’t think I’ll hit 40
Trevon Brazile my life is yours.
I dipped out at the half for a second because the Nuggets were getting cooked.
I swear man, Jordan Poole is still in the NBA specifically just to be a flamethrower against the Nuggets, fucking christ
I remember 2 years ago when we could never beat the Wizards. Jordan Poole just hitting buzzer beaters
That man gave me ptsd
never give up on the Pels to shit the bed.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that there is no NBA team I hate more than the Pelicans. I’ve sat down and watched just one entire Pelicans game in the previous two seasons, and it’s one I went to in-person. This loser ass organization has played a significant role in my declining interesting in the NBA. There’s just no point in watching when following your team feels futile every year.
Describing my baseball experience
The Joe Dumars experience.
The Gayle Benson experience.
Fire current GM into a nepotism hire without an interview hiring process speedrun.
Did I write this? What is your name? Tyler Durden?
You know OKC exists right?
Jamal with an excellent bounceback from the OKC stinker
Jokic turned an all-time stinker into simply a meh game
But Trevon Brazile should be the next mayor of Denver that was championship role player stuff he showed…at the doorstep of death he saved the Jokic-Murray era Nuggets as we know it
I am genuinely convinced his effort in the 4th quarter bullied Jokic into putting his hands up on defense and battling harder on the glass and that made all the difference man his rim protection was superb down the stretch
I find it kinda funny that (some of) Jokic 30 point triple-double games have become meh, but I agree with you to an extent bcuz he was doo doo shit first half.
I’m so impressed with the rookie, just full of impact. I’m glad a Jamal 40-point game wasnt wasted, and happy they pulled a win, or else they played 40 mins for a loss, which is just painful.
35/15/10/2/3 +11 66% TS is meh game for one man on the planet
to be fair he looked like he couldn’t be asked for the first 3 quarters and then bullied the shit out of them in the fourth and OT
It is insane that dude has that statline, and calling it a meh game isn’t crazy.
But he turned it on defensively in the 4th and OT with the big three blocks.
A triple double is a meh game for Jokic I guess. Agreed otherwise
Tf you saying
I am genuinely convinced his effort in the 4th quarter bullied Jokic into putting his hands up on defense and battling harder on the glass
Exactly this. Shamed that fat slob into trying on defense.
Brazile MVP, truly unreal player jesus fucking christ
Motherfucker blocked a step back deep three that he was dropped 3ft off of in coverage. Absolutely unreal play by the rookie in the 4th and OT. And then misses the FT in OT, gets his own rebound and scores to ice the game. Ice fucking cold.
Brazille is a dawg.
Denver Nuggets basketball innit… heartattac
Brazille is great
As an Arkansas fan, with a heavy bias telling me he’d be great, this makes me happy. Eye test always told me he could be a role player in the NBA with his tools.
hey lowkey, pretty solid game from DeAndre Jordan. love that man
Love that guy!
Pelicans
Bucks
Heat
I wonder who’s gonna get their first W after being down 0-3. 🤔
It would be hilarious if the Heat are last to get a win
Large comebacks are in.
New Orleans Sellicans
New Orleans Pavaliers
Not sure if it’s a good or bad sign that it just took a couple guys actually caring and trying hard to turn the game for the Nuggets. Kinda concerning that the effort isn’t there in game 2 though
pretty typical nugs game during the malone era. Shit the bed first half and claw their way back
it’s unsustainable for sure we gotta get our shit together
David Adleman needs to be fired into the sun. Let JJ Barea coach.
Christian Braun being near 100% and Trevon Brazile being a strong rotational piece makes this Denver team so much better than last year.
Zion sold so hard. 3 backbreaking turnovers in the last 2 minutes of the 4th.
A disgusting 4th quarter choke job by the Pelicans.
That might have genuinely been the worst 4th quarter performance I’ve ever seen. Get rid of back to backs but also someone investigate the Pelicans because wtf was that.
Words cannot describe how terrible jeremiah fears was in that 4th
Zion throwing the ball away twice in the clutch didn’t help either
Every team should look at us like bbq chicken in the 4th qtr.
God damn what a terrible game for 3.5 quarters lol
Its a shame they have to ply so bad to play so good. SO many times they have had to make big comebacks.
I watch like 9 or 10 Pelicans games every season (or at least second halves of interesting games). It seems like they completely implode in the 4th quarter, or just go totally stagnant after a hot start in at least 50% of the games I watch.
I am zen and expect this of the Pels. Good thing I learned to be a players fan when we had no franchise
Not Zion though. Wish we’d have kept Ingram instead
