And this is why Nuggets are title contenders. Doesn’t matter the score, the trend of the game, they just keep running that good offense and they are still in it despite the bad calls.

Like I been saying, just wait til some rando team like Utah throws him $30 mil a year to be a #2 and see what happens lol.


dude you would die for klay thompson to play as well as austin reaves. don't be delusional.


You'd die for Austin Reaves to have 1/10th the career of Klay Thompson lol, what's your point?

We deserve to lose man. Must win game and Ham has Lebron out the game when Jokic is out and the Paint is wide open.

Masterful coaching.

Get Nurse asap.

Darvin Ham finally about to take DLo out… 9 minutes too late. The master of adjustments that he should have made forever ago. Brilliant coaching mind

Its an absolute miracle that the Nuggets are still leading after this kind of **** show performance from the refs and Jokic.

Reaves has been great but that was a huge turnover. Terrible time to do that.

And as you can see on the replay before intermission, Brown was hit on the hand. No call, but was so obvious

20 to 7 FTA advantage

Jokic and Brown both with 4 fouls.

Totally normal.

Refs are furious. We just made Joker disappear. Now we gotta move onto this Brown guy.

Come on. Refs are human too. They cannot do too much work without a break.
