I love the Nugz team. I can absolutely see this team breaking through that glass ceiling as long as they remain healthy.

Nugs showed a lot of heart in the second half. Huge win.
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

Anyone know how many hockey assists Jokic has this game? RJ is calling the game, he might want to know.

Beating Denver in a 7 game series where they have 4 games with home court advantage is going to be tough, they’re almost unbeatable in Denver

Dude doesn't know the meaning of pass. Don't think I've seen him pass all game.

Jokic is trash tonight, one of many bad games he had this season. His teammates are taking bad shots for three quarters yet he wont take shots himself.

18 on 7-9, 18 boards, 10 assists is trash?! We are not watching the same game.

I get he wasn't shooting nearly enough earlier, but anyway the comment was more about MPJ vision and sharing willingness. Besides, any time your C has a PG on him down low, get him the damn ball rather than taking a contested J miss.

What will that racist ass Kendrick Perkins who is the face of ESPN NBA have to say about Jokic tonight?

Begs a question.

18/18/10 on 70% from the field on 10 field goal attempts. #stat-padding

In terms of taking what the game gives him and still dominating, I'm not sure I've ever seen better. I wish I could remember what it was, but Malone had a great phrase for it during another game recently.


Ya and if we are being honest, if your offensive possession ends with a wide open MPJ jumper, open Murray jumper, open KCP jumper, Gordon open slashing to the bucket. That should be viewed as a great offensive possession.

He should've caught it, no doubt. But wtf is Gordon doing too....Russ isn't even a good FT shooter. Calm your balls, get fouled, hit the FTs....that's what Gordon is, a shooter. Dumb losing plays by two vets....unacceptable. But don't just single out Russ.

Nice game by Derver, good adjustments on 2nd half and holy cow they actually played good defense for once.

Absolutely. I almost said something when you posted that nobody can hit anything and he should just start taking over. Which is obviously an option. But I'm putting the ball in his hands, letting him create and living with whatever the results are. It's just too bad that he doesn't really have a true No. 2 guy, instead of a handful of 3s. A legit All-NBA type wingman and they'd be almost unbeatable.
