Still tho .. its the Kangz. But I think Denver wins. Keegan Murray is good, he sticks out from that Kangz lineup.

oh god here come the excuses


Down two starters and on a back to back where they had to fly back in, while their opponent was already there. Not an easy game to win, even if we think the Nuggets should.

Nugz will lose but this performance from Joker should really increase his lead at top of The MVP race. What a legend

Kings have also been probably the most disappointing/underachieving team so far this season, this type of gutsy win at Denver could possibly kick start their season. They are good to bottom out/tank imo

Guy honestly has like 1 or 2 "bad" (for him) games a season, and is the most consistently spectacular player I've seen in decades.

Spencer Jones 1 point -16 in 23 min as the AG replacement. Brutal

I agree with that. I can count on on hand the amount of bad games I can ever recall watching Joker play.

I am really desperate from him and The Nuggets to win another chip (except against Boston obviously lol)

I cannot believe there are some out there who still don't rate him/think he is overrated (on this forum)

Has to be jealousy surely ? Joker is a legacy player who like Steph has changed the game forever, especially expections from a 5/Centre

Watson was the Braun replacement. Watson and AG both started last game against Houston.

Always find it weird people demonized "excuses" as if there aren't reasons things happen...

The Kings missed Keegan Murray all season. Thank God he’s back - just sucks they have no Sabonis. Yes the roster is a bad fit overall, but they have had some crappy injuries to go with it.

Disagree, Clippers and Mavs underachieving, did you expect smth of the kings? i saw them outside play in, their team is brutal, they got one today tho, Westbrook and Shroeder were both great, something that wont come often.
