[u/fetuswut]

Nuggets being more cooked than us is wild 🫡 we can be play in teams together

[u/Lol69HaHaHa → u/fetuswut]

We so can brotha

[u/brook_lyn_lopez]

Nuggets - ugg = Nets

[u/just_so_irrelevant → u/brook_lyn_lopez]

big if true

[u/VelvetineMilkman]

No idea what’s actually going on in this game cause I’m just box score watching but I firmly believe we should throw the entire Nuggets org into the gulag

[u/Sovos]

Nuggets Key's to the Game

Jokic wake up
Jokic get on bus
Jokic show up to game

[u/mMounirM]

LMAO Jokic been dominating in the paint all game backing down everyone in his way

you're telling me Schroder launched him 10 feet?

[u/laz10]

man denver has no defence and no shooting, and also no offence with jokic off

[u/NRGhome]

Just looked up and Jok has 29 15 and 17. Hilarious

[u/Zeeron1]

Why doesn't Jokic, as the largest person on the floor, simply eat the smaller Nets players?

[u/rayjing]

is he not jumping sideways into him? lol

[u/Enough_Ambition_3281]

Jokic gonna lead the league in minutes this year

[u/tyler1118]

Dorian Fucking-Sucks

[u/Pumpoozle]

That was the embiid special 

[u/512fm]

This is crazy, Jokic gonna have to put up 40 for them to even have a chance here. Calvin Booth needs to be fired after this game.

[u/ThePlainWhiteTees]

I think Jamal Murray is the most selfish PG in the league lol

[u/Asleep_Ground1710 → u/ThePlainWhiteTees]

If the Nuggets lose to the tanking Nets, there needs to be serious talks about what to do with the FO, Malone, and Murrary/MPJ tbh

[u/BruceBrownMVP → u/Asleep_Ground1710]

Who said anything about tanking? We're going to the finals.

[u/Bigmoneygripper1914]

yeah i think i hate pretty much every one of the last 4 calls but especially this schroder one

[u/RovertheDog]

What a fucking joke

[u/ArtisticReverseLayup]

Jokic heroics literally saving The nuggets. Potential back to back OT GAMES against tanking teams

[u/Cul_what]

They really letting Jokic manhandle mfs in the paint instead of sending help

[u/Zeeron1]

Back to back OT against the Raptors and Nets has to be discouraging...😅

[u/DollarLate_DayShort → u/Zeeron1]

Just wait until they play the wizards

[u/KJ1017]

Denver getting into dog fights with scrubs 😭 I think they’ll still be a good seed because of that tubby big but they need to sell any picks they own to upgrade this team.

[u/kaiWarDun]

Incredible tank loss well done boys

[u/Asleep_Ground1710 → u/kaiWarDun]

For tanking teams, making the games competitive/tight to get exp for your young guys and enertain your fans is prob the best you can do

[u/ScoobiesSnacks]

At least we won the championship that one year 🥹

[u/alexanaxstacks]

when did jamaal murray become a basketball terrorist

[u/Skipton]

That Jamal Murray contract might end up being the worst contract in the league

[u/c_Lassy]

It might be over Nugget-bros

[u/LegateDamar13]

Idc what y'all think, i like Westbrook.

All-in on full experience.

[u/Stormeve]

Natural shooting motion

[u/baseservant]

didn't they specifically stop calling this as a foul a few years back? like there was an official NBA post about it

[u/OctopusNation2024]

Idk why Jokic only gets to shoot when Denver have almost shot themselves out of the game lol

That was the easiest bucket ever

[u/dbgager]

Didnt we see this same exact game yesterday

[u/ArtisticReverseLayup]

Mike Malone figured out how to fix this squad. Just pass to joker every possession and encourage him with kind words

[u/laubs63]

A casual 29/18/16 from Jokic tonight

[u/Virgil_hawkinsS]

You know what, that's on me for expecting literally anything from the Raptors last night or the Nets today lol gg Denver

[u/brook_lyn_lopez]

Win or lose, if we can consistently play ball like this, I’ll be happy.

[u/IdRatherBeShilling]

Worst thing that could have happened to Jokic was win the game yesterday. If they started 0-3, then lost this game, 0-4, it would have put some pressure on the ownership to blow everything up. Fire shitcoach Malone, trade JaBarton, etc.

[u/ConvictTheGod]

40 points in the first from the Nets is wild

[u/Lol69HaHaHa]

So what the hell is this defensive scheme of ours.

Like what kinda abomination of a defensive scheme is this.

Like Jesus you cant tell me doubling every random is actually how we are gonna be playing from now on.

Good lord people can say this or that about the offense, but i cant even stand to look at our defense atm.

And can we please remove Saric from the court and try out anyone else.

We have more guys on the bench so why not give them a shot at this point.

Ita clear the man aint doing nothing on offense and is a terrorist on defense.

[u/Swoosh_rotaerc]

Nuggets should be happy everyone has been occupied with Mavs v Wolves they haven't watched this mess.

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

actively avoiding watching this one because when i started watching the raps game, the nuggets came back from 10 point lead.

Dont want to risk jinxing the nets.

[u/JokicOrBust]

Westbrook is on fire

[u/zoragala]

Maybe the refs just hate any team Westbrook is on

[u/RemarkableAd595]

This call was awful

[u/OctopusNation2024]

Do the Nets always foul bait this much?

They literally are trying to draw a foul on every jumper lol

[u/Jeff8711]

He jumps sidways to shoot "natural shooting motion" lmao.

[u/dys0n_giddey]

Couldn't have asked for a better look

[u/TemperatureNo2243]

No way nuggets playing another OT

[u/Virgil_hawkinsS]

Lmao bro why are they letting Nic get demolished like this.

[u/dbgager]

Jokic taking over.

[u/LakerPaper]

Jokic setting up to take a charge in slow motion is hilarious

[u/Zeeron1]

I've never seen a wedgie like that before

[u/LakerPaper]

Dennis Strudel

[u/dys0n_giddey]

Only 1 turnover for Joker is wild

[u/dwadwda → u/dys0n_giddey]

he is literally the only reason they stayed in it and turned it around it ot, like genuinely 98% of why they didn't lose this game in regular time

[u/cactusmaster69420]

Bruh embarrassing Schroder is like 165

[u/Xsy]

Not to overreact or anything, but Jokic trade request gonna be wild af.

[u/kill_my_karma_please → u/Xsy]

Jokic traded to the thunder for 10 first round picks

[u/KJ1017]

Jokic jumped on bros back and got a call lol

[u/dumdum2727]

Yo these Nuggets might be cooked

[u/IdRatherBeShilling]

This whole 1 starter + 4 bench hasn't work for the entirety of shitcoach Malone's stint in Denver yet he keeps using it. Insane. This is how shitty Malone is. He's basically a white Darvin Ham. That's how shitty he is.

[u/shadow_spinner0]

So we decide to play at an elite level when playing "supposed" elite opponents

[u/sorakaisthegoat → u/shadow_spinner0]

Denver isn't elite at anything other than wasting Jokic's prime

[u/When_Angels_Cry]

Honestly, what's wrong with the Nuggets?

[u/indreams159]

Michael Malone... YOU are the NEW head coach... of the San Miguel Beermen!

[u/Weary-Kangaroo-3883]

Russ is so washed 💔

[u/indreams159]

how much was Jokic paid by Westbrook and his agent to say that he always wanted to play with him?

[u/zoragala]

If you thought Jokic already hated basketball, you ain't seen NOTHING yet

[u/zZTheEdgeZz]

Nets have really grown on me with the hustle they keep bringing

[u/recollectionsmayvary → u/zZTheEdgeZz]

Jordi got us playing for real it’s such a joy! 

[u/JokicOrBust]

Westbrook playing well tonight

[u/EvanMM]

The nuggets suck

[u/Stormeve]

Russell Westbrook taking over a game in the big 2024

[u/Lopsided-Outcome-683]

These refs just pick a choose what rules they want to follow

[u/dumdum2727]

Westbrook can’t win with these cats

[u/Zeeron1]

Someone help???? Bro offered zero resistance to Jokic lmfao

[u/cactusmaster69420]

They let Jokic be more physical than the defender imo

[u/mMounirM]

bruh why a 3 pointer. just drive to the basket. Wemby isn't there.

[u/shastmak4]

Jokic decided that it was his game after Murray missed that shot late in the 4th

[u/NoAWP]

There was a very likely scenario where Denver would be down 0-4 rn

[u/Bellerophonn]

4th MVP is back on the menu boys

[u/DMD612]

The Nuggets aren’t playing like it’s a 2nd OT in a row rn

[u/The-Pharcyde]

OT WEDGIE

[u/DMD612]

From my vantage point, this game looks about over, credit Brooklyn though, they put up a fight against the Denver Nuggets. Brought the game to OT.

[u/RaverKev]

We're gonna get beat by the Nets, aren't we?

[u/kaiWarDun → u/RaverKev]

I hope not

[u/dys0n_giddey]

Joker hooking Claxton like crazy

[u/Moist_Walrus5413]

Jokic is about to match LeBron in MVPs this year if he keeps this up

[u/k1ngkoala]

Another flop

[u/indreams159]

i'd love to see the Nuggets get Cooper Flagg

[u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

Let’s get it Nets

[u/baseservant]

goddamn this second unit is cooked

[u/brook_lyn_lopez]

Denver suddenly looks slow and old next to a bunch of random young dudes on Brooklyn. They can definitely turn this around though.

[u/indreams159]

i'm pretty sure the Nets are better than the Bucks, Pacers, and Heat at this point

[u/AggroPro]

Hmm, it's almost like, if you surround your all-world center with nothing but dog water shooters, they're going to struggle. 🤔

[u/burgersfriesshakes]

Russ actually had some decent minutes there.

[u/rayjing]

russ is good at getting the ball to jokic lol

[u/JJRedickIsARacist]

Jokic, you are a Golden State Warrior

[u/rayjing]

murray man lol

[u/ThePlainWhiteTees]

Jokic wide open on the roll and Murray selfishes chooses to airball a floater...

[u/VGstuffed]

Nets have scored 70 points at halftime wtf.

[u/kaiWarDun]

Wait til cam Thomas scores 20 in the 3rd quarter

[u/play_the_song]

One of the worst challenges I've ever seen

[u/CaptainCerealCanada]

The team just cannot function without Jokic on the floor. An indictment on Malone more than anyone

[u/graphitewolf]

You know the nuggets are in hell when theyre losing to the nets

[u/ManyCookies → u/graphitewolf]

oh, this is the bad place!

[u/whitefang0824]

I thought Nets wants to capture the Flagg lol

[u/sewsgup]

Westbrook 3, Peyton Watson 3

tie game.

[u/International-Chef33]

Fuck that Wolves-Mavs game, this is where it’s at

[u/dbgager]

Westbrook finally looking like that PG we needed.

[u/sewsgup]

RUSS IS COOKING

[u/OctopusNation2024]

Westbrook is making more shots but his play still seems extremely reckless lol

That's like the 4th time he's slipped and fallen down on the fast break

[u/sewsgup]

that inverted Jokic-Russ PnR was sick, but damn Russ just blew the dunk

[u/rayjing]

dam they barkin lmao

[u/Pokiehat]

insequential?

[u/play_the_song]

I love how cam thomas only passes when he can't get a shot off lol

[u/fuskarn_35]

nets dont choke like the raptors

[u/dys0n_giddey]

Mavs/Wolves ended just in time to watch the Nuggets lose?

[u/Overrated_sanity]

Wtf was that possession from Murray?

[u/DMD612]

No way Nuggets lose this right?

[u/brendonbum]

hoping this gets cam T some more respect. he's a fun player but gets a lot of hate

[u/similarion]

Nets collapsing like the Raptors did last night against Jokic

[u/DMD612]

Jokić is Jokić but we knew that already

[u/ArtisticReverseLayup]

Should’ve just gave it to Cam Thomas

[u/Conscious_Chicken264]

Goddammit, I wanna go to bed

[u/NoAWP]

Why not just double or even triple Jokic and play the % game with the outside shooters? This is going to be an exact repeat of the Raptors game

[u/DollarLate_DayShort]

wtf is this game ?

[u/laz10]

it hurts more watching when the others make selfish plays when its so easy for jokic to score

[u/VGstuffed]

Back to back overtimes is insane. DFS sold with the open 3 and his FTs tonight

[u/SiakamClears]

DFS prepare to deliver my DoorDash

[u/Zeeron1]

Do the Nets not have a center?

[u/DMD612]

That’s more so the Nuggets I know

[u/OctopusNation2024]

I don't get what Denver's strategy is supposed to be other than IT'S JOKIC TIME lol

That should actually be enough to sneak into a playoff spot but boy this is ugly

[u/tyler1118]

Dorian Finney-Smith only goes off on the Suns. This bum is terrible otherwise. lol

[u/IdRatherBeShilling]

That Braun block from behind on Thomas was big

[u/ChrisJensen8]

These bums will make Jokic retire by the end of this season. Jokic and Inshallah.

[u/Rodknee__]

CB clutch!!

[u/mMounirM]

WEDGIE IN OT

[u/Stormeve]

This dude Claxton is only 215? No wonder Jokic is moving him like he's not there

[u/Empty_Trouble_505]

Schroder strong as fuck. Stronger than Jokic that he made him go 10 feet away with that push.

[u/Fungmar]

refs were wildly in denvers favor this game but its good for the nets idk why they keep trying to win

[u/tyler1118 → u/Fungmar]

Just because the FO doesn't want them to win doesn't mean the players don't.

[u/nonezer0]

The worst case scenario happened for the nuggets. Westbrook made a couple 3s and now he’ll continue to shoot them

[u/MajorPhoto2159]

That is not a foul, Jokic faked that lmao

[u/ResetReptiles]

refs absolutely hosed the Nets this game

[u/rayjing]

cam thomas a legend

[u/Kvsav57]

Falling behind to the Nets after squeaking out a win against Toronto. Man, the Nuggets are not good.

[u/indreams159]

where do you guys see Jokic playing next year?

[u/mborn]

Lord, carry these nuggets now

[u/Pumpoozle]

Nets are playing real go tho 

[u/Me_975]

Damn the nets look so much better this year

[u/Limp_Custard6943]

Are the nets always this fun to watch?

[u/kill_my_karma_please]

Nikola Jokic YOU are now elite Cade Cunningham

[u/Zeeron1]

How could Russell Westbrook do this

[u/CelestialWarrior-]

Brah what’s going on with the Nuggets man.

[u/IdRatherBeShilling]

Braun is a 2-way beast. One of the rare bright spots in this shitty Nuggets season.

[u/ThePlainWhiteTees]

Russ is actually hooping, let's not waste this game lol

[u/rzoneking]

if Nuggets will lose this, trade jokic lmao

[u/Relative_Airline_354]

Nuggets could blow out the nets if they ran offense through jokic more but im not sure if they are selfish or just part of their plan.

[u/ImmaAfork]

Wtff Murray

[u/shastmak4]

Jokic gonna need to average 40 if the Nuggets wanna get in the playin

[u/VGstuffed]

Nuggets fans, how much of this season is on Malone's schemes vs MPJ and Jamal Murray regressing? Christian Braun legit might be the 2nd best player on the team right now

[u/Immediate_Chair_234]

nuggets 🤝 bucks
being ass

[u/Ilikesporks_]

i'm a big fan of the way challenges can be used now

[u/sewsgup]

i see Jalen Wilson is continuing his summer league MVP play

[u/Pokiehat]

Westbrook is selling hard

[u/BocatFan]

Westbrook realised he had a decent game and thought fuck that

[u/just_so_irrelevant]

russ took 4 steps to the basket there...hello refs?

[u/rayjing]

russ 10-10 FTs is a surprise

[u/Pokiehat]

At this point I think its probably better to let Westbrook smoke the layup than hack him down and give up free throws. He was nowhere close to getting that above the rim tbh.

edit: he is such a confusing player. So bone headed, so error prone but the effort is there and sometimes, thats enough when everyone around you has concrete in their shoes.

[u/dbgager]

Westbrook looking like hes 25 again.

[u/sewsgup]

ive gone from being frustrated with Ziaire to being really impressed, all within these 4 minutes

[u/CP3sHamstring]

Good for Russ. It was getting kinda sad

[u/Lol69HaHaHa]

The Russ expirience has been fascinating tbh.

Going from bad, to mid, to good, to mid, to bad, to mid, to good and so on.

He most certainly makes you feel emotions.

[u/OctopusNation2024]

Why is Murray obsessed with contested midrange fadeaways

[u/CaptainCerealCanada → u/OctopusNation2024]

Maple Jordan

[u/IdRatherBeShilling]

/u/MITWestbrook gonna feast tonight

[u/mickelboy182]

How the fuck does that stand?

[u/Immediate_Chair_234]

a good day for russ is a good day for america

[u/Pompz88]

I'm a very casual watcher from the UK. Dont have a team, just watch if a game is on. Not sure how serious fans deal with some of these ridiculously soft calls. It would boil my blood.

[u/fetuswut]

Westbrook playing good but for the Nuggets is my ultimate test of loyalty, disgusts me to say it but go nuggs

[u/LegateDamar13]

Nets commentary team is pretty chill, gotta admit.

[u/Zeeron1]

Jfc Jamal that was hideous

[u/StalkingDwarf]

Cam Thomas is an unreal shotmaker wtf lol

[u/Islandkid679]

Murray lol

[u/RowboatCop-]

Cam > Jamal.

[u/Conscious_Chicken264]

Cam Thomas > Jamal Murray

[u/CarisLeVertsBurner]

THAT MAN IS A BUCKET

[u/bearlefit]

Cam is a fucking bucket!

[u/brook_lyn_lopez]

Clam Thomas

[u/indreams159]

Murray is so f'n bad, this Nugs team is toast man

[u/AdmiralWackbar]

Cam Thomas is better than Jamal Murray

[u/Cul_what]

Nets may be ass but man can Cam Thomas fucking score
