So **** close damn, this would have been a HUGE win.

It's sad that Beal is so horrible. He doesn't get any attention and he can't make any difference on offense. 11 points in 40 minutes with a ton of opportunities.

I would give up so much to put him on another team. He has regressed badly.

To me is a joke to put SGA over Jokic as a player.

No one believes that. Thunder is the 1st seed with 11 games ahead. That's why.

Honestly Jokić is beyond the MVP conversation, he is entering ATG conversation

And we are just here to witness his greatness.

1st 30-20-20 game in NBA history damn...

I was thinking the same.

I was saying this to my brother when watching the game, that the Nuggets look like they just want to get this game done with and go home. We caught the Clippers off guard later in the 4th too, they just couldn't hold on at the end. The Nuggets has Jokić though, 24 points in 5 minutes is insane, they kinda let us score some garbage points at the end of OT otherwise it wasn't close. We ran out of gas because we play catch up most of the game.

Christian Braun has one of the most punchable faces in the league.

Hey Westbrick that's how you get a real triple double, let the game come to you not trying to force a triple double

Scott Foster too, he's beyond pathetic

We’ve played Denver really well other than the 2023 playoff series, but these last two games just show that we should have 10 more wins easily. Doesn’t make us a contender but morale has been abysmal for most of the year.

Dallas is in complete free fall. We really should get that 10 seed. I get some people here don’t want that, but I do. A little excitement before the extended irrelevance starts.

The moment I saw that it was Scott Foster reviewing that Jokic push, I just knew that somehow this was going to be called a foul on Phoenix.

I can't blame the team when you're playing 5 vs 8 especially with that mitch Scott Foster. How was that not a foul on Kd late in the 4th? The defensive foul on Plumlee was clearly a offensive foul on Jokic, Malone barking at Foster but refused to give him a tech, the Porter foul on Allen should've been a goaltending plus the foul. It's a disgrace

KLEON · Post #50 » by **KLEON** » Sat Mar 8, 2025 6:08 am

Shout out Plumlee, he's been playing like the Clippers Plumlee these last 2 games

Knowing we don't have our pick this year, I think most people here want us to make the playoffs regardless of what the inevitable will be in the 1st round.

We shot 29 FTs to their 18 and Jokić only had 3, even with the intentional fouls we committed in OT, I don't think the officiating is a factor. A lot of questionable calls and non-calls in the clutch. MPJ had a clean block on Allen that was called a foul, surprised Malone did not challenge it. Jokić got fouled on shooting a three that wasn't call a shooting foul, 10 times out of 10 that's a 3 shots foul. KD got some favorable calls, as he always do, but a crucial non-call in the last minute of regulation. I think it's pretty even on both sides all things considered.

Terrible

Just in OT huh? You're generous...

If Plum protected the ball on that rebound in regular time Suns steal the game.

Mavs season is over, but there are the Blazers. Our schedule is much harder. It's not like Suns deserve 10th spot anyway, so whatever happens.

Curious how many unprotected picks you'd give to make this terrible trade even worse.

I would give up one. Not more than one for sure.

Hopefully it's enough with "just" one of our low FRPs. But getting away from him would be a great win for the team.

Great player + shameful defense = historic record

Zion got his first triple dub in his career, Zubac dropped his 40 point masterclass, and now Jokić with first ever 30-20-20 in NBA history, every big eats in the paint against us it's a disgrace
