AB's had a solid game even though he's been going half speed.

Also has had multiple nice passes blown, including Goga airballing a layup.

Some good news for our Denver pick


Man I hope the Rockets can pull it off, but I am just not optimistic. A lot has been going right for the Nuggets lately. Wolves blew massive lead to the Bucks, Warriors lost on crazy Barnes game-winner. Nuggets were losing wire to wire against Grizzlies but the Grizzlies ran out of gas (back to back).

And also related to that pick we smoked the Pacers and the Pacers are getting smoked today. They were ahead of the Nuggets record wise.

Hey it was pick 27 for a while so at least small gains were made.


I didnt notice until after the game that beating the Pacers actually hurt our pick odds. Took my excitement away

Bizarre that the Pacers are losing considering the Cavs are playing players I never heard of before

I'm just hopeful the Nuggs somehow lose their last 2 games and we end up with an early 20s pick. Houston & GSW is nothing to scoff at

I'll be hatewatching

Caleb is exactly at 40% from 3. They should take him out of the game.

I mentioned the pacers win possibly affecting the Denver pick before the start of that game. Also, no one has 2 games left. Today is the last day of the regular season.

Thinking about that Denver pick though… if Denver gets knocked into the play-ins and lose both play-in games, they give us a lotto pick (as long as the don’t win one of the top 4 picks). That would be amazing luck.

It's funny to me how seriously people are taking these recent games. Starting from the Boston game, nothing can be gauged. In those stretches, one or both teams don't have their starters and neither team is honestly trying.

I joined the thread around halftime of the Pacers game

But damn you're right, not sure where I read Nuggets vs Warriors.

So who should we be rooting for btwn the Clippers vs Warriors game? Not sure which of the two have a tiebreaker advantage on the Nuggets

A shame they could not go 42-40 but 41-41 is ok.

This was more about getting through this game.

On to the Play-In on Tuesday.

I think you root for the Warriors. If the Nuggets lose and Warriors and Wolves win then the Nuggets are 7 seed.

Honestly not sure who to root for since I don’t know all the tiebreakers. I’m hoping that Denver falls to the play-ins and then lose both games… giving us a lotto pick :D

I give that a 0.01% chance of happening… but there is a chance :lol:

Does this loss help out in drafting or is that based on our playoff position?
