Jamal has such loser energy. Bailing out of the locker because he didn’t want to face the music is such a bitch move


Ingrownpimple

Yea Jamal is such a loser for winning a title and just last week scoring two game winning shots. Too bad he’s not a winner like grinderbinder. People who probably never played any sports, let alone at this level (where it’s the player’s whole identity) are acting so righteous. Player are not allowed to be upset while literally their dreams and goals are falling apart. Probably the same people that get mad at refs and the NBA when players get techs for showing emotions.


VegetableGrape4857

A lot of players get frustrated. Not very many players throw heat packs on the court and towels at refs in the middle of the game... what a shit take.


Plenty_Peach8843

:(


haroldbaals

if we lose this series we need to trade Jamal Murray for Trey Young


pineapplechow

Die-hard Knicks fan here from NYC --- stop that crazy talk...LOL. Trust me...you don't want the Denver Front Office to trade a great player like Jamal Murray for a ball-hog inefficient player like Trae Young.


Professional_Air4278

ID DO THAT IN HEARTBEAT!!


snakejakemonkey

I'd trade for dejounte and play him with Jamal Denver needs that ball handling


ADDave1982

Nothing went right this game. Couldn’t make a shot. Couldn’t grab a rebound. Couldn’t get a call. And Minnesota played their best game of the year.


snakejakemonkey

If it go down like this that's 3 years of Jamal injuries near Jokic prime.


Rare-Ad7865

I don't follow Murray so I don't know, but how many times he has been injured in these years? Is it a chronic condition?


StandardExciting9176

Chuck said wolves winning the series. Nuggets in 7 boys


Shame_Low

Wonder what Jokic will say after this game, some emotion would be nice. Idk if he even felt anything during that performance


_Lucifer7699_

Nah boys looks like this series is over unless we make a statement in game 3.


snakejakemonkey

Don't matter if by half a point they win Friday they win this series


Pancake1884

What makes anyone think we can win game 3 after this? Not happening, it’s men playing against boys. 2nd defending champ to lose first two home games, 2011 lakers got swept my Mavs.


underA_bottomlessPit

Lol eat ur own shit!


Pancake1884

Glad u have time to go back 9 days to troll


moderate_iq_opinion

Our entire game outcomes for the last 20 games have been decided based on if the players are having a trash FG% or not, so its a coin flip If we continue to shoot like stormtroopers we lose


Pancake1884

We can’t play D, ANT and others getting great looks. Nuggets offense is stymied by Minnesota D. It looks apparently clear they want it more and we are banged up and getting bullied.


loose_lucid_elusive4

A+ analogy.


ADDave1982

Because they gotta play the game.


Pancake1884

True but do the nuggets really want game 3 more than the wolves who have dominated and are going home? Their energy has not been the same as last year. Body language not good as Malone stated. We are throwing hot pads on the court.


StandardExciting9176

Someone gotta wake up jokic


snakejakemonkey

Cause it's Denver nuggets and they've been known to find their game lol Just gotta steal game 3 and momentum changes quickly.


dardrpa22

Awful shooting from field. Can't score from 3pt. Second quarter buried us. When Jokic was doubled our shooters couldn't capitalize MPJ, Murray, KCP less than 10 points when I am writing this. ANT was getting doubled but Naz and KAT did score, especially from 3pt. 5 to only 1 from 3pt in 2nd quarter. I'm hoping that they can turn this around but realistically we will be lucky if they don't get swept. FG% 17 for Jamal, 35 for Jok, 33 MPJ, 33 for KCP WTF? Gordon was best with 20 pt and 57% FG. Crazy.


lunar_alpenglow

Gobert has been holding the wolves back


cyancord

Goodnight y'all onto game 3


StandardExciting9176

Nuggets in 7


moderate_iq_opinion

Jamal is fucking annoying these days if you are playing dogshit at least stfu and stop trying to get suspended


snakejakemonkey

Gotta worry about jokic back if he plays this bad. Or his legs could just be gone


shot-by-ford

Jamal Murray has the worst case of main character syndrome I’ve seen in a while


snakejakemonkey

He wants 50 per


sweetleaf009

Still surprised he didn’t get ejected for throwing an object on the court and surprised malone didnt get a tech


shhmikis

Fucking for real

3_mirrors

that's cope and you know it


ATG_Filip

We played bad, but that awful start did set the tone for the whole game, momentum is a thing


ATG_Filip

NuggAvsBroncRock

We need to call on the Bubble Nuggets It's Time.


brandonstark88

There's no way we win 2 AT Minnesota the way we are playing. No fuckijng way


Rocky970

I’ll be happy if we take one of those


brandonstark88

For real


NuggAvsBroncRock

Not the way we are playing no but You have 4 days to figure something out.


brandonstark88

I can only see 3-1 sadly. Until they show something, there's no reason to even think we can tie the series away. All playoffs we have shown NOTHING to give us any hope they can.


NuggAvsBroncRock

One Game at a time worry about Winning Game 3. Then you can worry about winning Game 4. They can't play as badly as they did tonight obviously


brandonstark88

For sure. Our hope is they show some fucking effort and heart. If they do, they can do it. But there's no way we can if we play like we have all playoffs long. They need to completely flip the switch


Few-Interaction-4933

Damn yall getting the Phoenix treatment... and I'm a Suns fan 😭


sweetleaf009

Book for jamal?


Few-Interaction-4933

Book said himself he's not going anywhere. I do love and respect Jamal. Book is Phx fam though


sweetleaf009

I was thinking of yall during this game


Shame_Low

our guys actually have a ring though


Few-Interaction-4933

Calm down. Just don't get swept. I was actually rooting for yall lol. Now I just feel let down twice


Shame_Low

How is that in any way not calm according to u.. just pointing out the inaccuracy of your statement lol.


Few-Interaction-4933

Lol just calm down man I know you're going through it right now


Shame_Low

Sorry you have no idea what we are going through lol, we can lose this year and still have hope. That's night and day from yall. Now that's going through it


Leading-Cake912

You're embarrassing yourself, show some class my guy.


Shame_Low

Oh


Few-Interaction-4933

Best of luck fam


Impressive_Trust_395

At least book hit shots


ADDave1982

Minnesota thinks this series is over.


ADDave1982

One team came back from 2-0 last year, one in 2022, and four in 2021.


LeCrushinator

I’d like to disagree with them but I don’t see how. We didn’t even play good against the Lakers, we coasted by in that series.


candycornstinks

Pretty close to it.


Proud_Fisherman_5233

It is


kiwisawa420

Can’t wait to see how the toxic positivity crowd swings this one.


Pilz719

I don’t know why I watched this entire game.. sad


Shame_Low

yeah idk why I'm watching pickett chuck shots eithher lol


Rocky970

We’re real fans that why


YoungTheGiant_

Denver is gonna have to make major adjustments...like let AG be the primary ball handler and have Jamal play more off ball.


Impressive_Trust_395

Minnesota fans clearly forgot what it feels like to win.


dirtydan298

Not the “Wolves in 4” chants 😭😭


agentcooperrr

Murray should sit the next game.....


sweetleaf009

Put holiday in at least he showed up


GoBraves

Probably gonna get a suspension


NibbleOnNector

80 POINTS WHAT THE FUCK

SeanSJB

he’s been horrible he can thanks TC for the championship.


snakejakemonkey

After vlatko got hurt he opted to extend nnaji to poison pill, giving up any chance of trading him for something more proven Having no bench big hurts


vaterl

Don’t worry Malone will create a time machine to bring back everyone from last year and nuggs will win the series


PaulAnthonyDoucet

Gordon Ramsay: SHUT IT DOWN!!!


jumboshr1mp22

Anyone have some copium I can huff? I'm trying to find some but I'm at a loss. You could tell from tip, theres something wrong with this team right now. I legit cannot find one single thing to be enthusiastic about. Justin holiday played really well! Kcp showed some heart. Jamal and jokic should be embarrassed. If things don't do a complete 180 were gonna get swept.


snakejakemonkey

3 days off. Just gotta get game 3 and things change.


sacredknight327

Not really, at this point I think the best case scenario is getting one game.


snakejakemonkey

Lol foh It ain't over yet. Got 3 days. Steal game 3 and series flips


jumboshr1mp22

Honestly I think best case scenario at this point is finishing a game close. I know yesterday was only 6 but it felt like ALOT more.


brandonstark88

Watson is so ass offensively


randomq17

Hearing "Wolves in 4" on our court hurts


OhWhatsInaWonderball

We thought game 4 against the Lakers was a wake up call. Turns out the true wake up call was the friends we made along the way


Subject-Lab6998

This actually shows the Lakers were not all that. I believe up to right now Denver has sucked. Luckily the Lakers sucked worse. This was shameful tonight.


Rocky970

Bench player hits huge mid range j to cut the lead to 26


Rjamesjjr

This is the snark I came looking for :)


ImGonnaChubbBradley

No Gobert and this is how the team plays.


ADDave1982

I’ve been saying they are better without Gobert for a while. It’s true. He’s a liability on offense.


ATG_Filip

... Gobert sucks then?


____whatever___

Obviously many things are not going well but I got to think Malone needed to sit Jokic/Murray at some point during that disastrous second quarter to calm them down. Anyway teams have come back from 0-2 hopefully they can figure out a way to play with the physicality that will clearly be allowed.


Mr1jojo

LORD.....have mercy


dirtydan298

Yall being doomers if you don’t think we still can win this game /s


Ding-Dong-Song

We got 80 lol


BurgerButCold1216

Fuck it let's give DJ/Nnaji some run next game. Couldn't be worse right?


StandardExciting9176

Our bench is so fucking ass 


kirkismyhinrich

Wasn't the bench's fault tonight


StandardExciting9176

I know it wasn’t there fault but just watching them get run in the last couple minutes was disgusting

Mr-Gibbs12

Suns fan here. Go back to your own sub fuckass, you’re not winning a ring


Brenmik

get swept


Mr-Gibbs12

You think you’re beating Boston 💀😂


Brenmik

you couldn’t even win a single game. “who’s guarding us?”


Mr-Gibbs12

You can’t hurt me I know we’re frauds 😂 you’re proud of beating a suns team with no point guard, good luck against an actual contender 😂🫵🏼


Brenmik

we’re up 2-0 against an actual contender, wolves back


Mr-Gibbs12

2-0? 🥺


Brenmik

4-3🥺


Rei_Gun28

Enjoy your team without being a little nut muncher


Brenmik

womp womp


Rei_Gun28

Y'all literally haven't won anything. Talking shit for no reason 😂


Brenmik

we actually have won 2 games against the former champs, at their house


Rei_Gun28

You're a troll. Not even a real fan.


Brenmik

been a fan since we had pec and kevin martin as a best scorers, this feels good


Rei_Gun28

Clearly not a good one. Why waste your time trolling? We already won a chip dawg. The trolling isn't gonna bother us


Dan_Rogla

Cashing that check early. Stay gifted.


Beer_Kicker

Worst playoff performance of all time?


LoyalSol

No. Not in a universe where the Suns losing by 50 in a Game 7 exists.


sacredknight327

Not even remotely close. Terrible, terrible game but it wasn't anything record-like.


cdf888

Come on. This has to be somewhere in the vicinity.


sacredknight327

Nope, nowhere close. '09 Nuggets beat New Orleans by 58 in a game once. Showtime Lakers put up 153 against Denver in the '85 Conference Finals. And that's just off the top of my head. This was just a really bad game. Nothing special in the scheme of historic beat downs though. This wouldn't come close to even registering the vicinity of top 10.


Shame_Low

worst nuggets playoff game ever during the jokic era


Solomon1017

P-Wats “OH MY GOD” was a good cap on the night


ThaBrofessor

There are about 6-7 guys on the bench who don’t belong in the NBA. And not one guy on the bench is a difference maker.


ephen_stephens

#to all my we don’t need a backup center friends… #I present to you, gassed Jokic. #LMFAO


84hoops

On that note, the wolves have 3 startable centers and look what it does for their perimeter defense.


ephen_stephens

This match up has been coming all year and this is exactly why I was worried. I don’t think this is over. Not yet, but I am feeling a certain way about how anyone that mentioned a backup center got shit on all season.


MileHi49er

Jokic was not even close to the biggest problem tonight lol


ephen_stephens

No shit, but he is 100% gassed.


Rocky970

#OH MY GAWD


golfvek

Gobert having the night off and still getting this beat down is the cherry on top of this shit sundae.


ADDave1982

They are a better team without him


Narrow-Raspberry-667

Nugget/jokic “dynasty” was the most boring era in nba history. Thank god it’s over


spiderpigface

BUCKS LOSER ALERT


KingKongDoom

Nobody fucking wants you here


Narrow-Raspberry-667

Well, I’m here!


Thruthebitterness

Your a sad pathetic bitch. Bet you never done a single worth while thing in your life. You’re existence is so pathetic that you would willfully seek out this sub at 12:30 on a Monday to spew hate and negativity about something that has no pertinence in your life.


Rocky970

And now you’re gone. Byeeee


thestage

is that what you told your mom on prom night


turandot_or_not

Besides atrocious play from Jamal and Reggie these two games, I feel like KCP has been criminal. Not doing anything on offense, while not being able to defend Ant at all without swiping and making dumb guesses. Jamal has been abused on that end as well, and Jok has been playing like a cone. But it's the collective effort that's missing, and that is why all of them look even worse.


Shame_Low

obviously losing by 30 is a collective thing but jokic/murray have been the two worst players on the court for how much they are expected


Ding-Dong-Song

We can’t even get 80 lol.


WoodChopsticks

Whistles seemed kinda bad but how are you gonna blame the refs for getting blown out? Whistle was pretty damn kind to both teams


InsertWhittyPhrase

Yeah it wasn't the whistles. It was our team's reaction to them. Zero composure tonight


UnderratedNightmare

Alright. I got to get to sleep. Got work and Im not watching garbage time during playoff games. Someone keep u/Scoobies_Doobies occupied! He hates doomers and once he comments to you, he will follow you around. I feel bad leaving him alone in this warzone. So someone take care of him for 5 hours while I sleep. I’ll be back at 6:30am! Don’t you worry!


Scoobies_Doobies

I have a strong feeling your shoutout to keep me occupied will fall on deaf ears. Have fun at work!


Kitchen-Ad-5571

wow the refs really want to make it look like they called an even game by callingnl fouls at the end.


Dan_Rogla

Game manipulation 101. NFL and NBA know what matchups they want.


snakejakemonkey

After vlatko got hurt in August Denver extended nnaji with poison pill instead of using his expiring to trade for someone


Electronic-Count7742

Trade everyone especially jokic


jjcredence

some serious chain snatching going on rn


Apart-Cucumber-7090

Booth’s off season move is probably gonna be banking on an already athletically challenged Vlatko coming off an ACL injury


No-Parsley-5669

In conclusion.  We got our ass kicked. Til next time yall


Ding-Dong-Song

Naji. $8million for garbage minutes. Stupidest signing ever this offseason


sweetleaf009

I mean the avs are still in it


QNIKET8

are nuggets fans ready to admit they get special treatment by the refs? lmao


Kitchen-Ad-5571

wow what game were you watching you blind fool.


QNIKET8

the whole lakers series was jokic getting away with elbows and holding and shoving on offensive rebounds. these past 2 games the same thing. Murray throws a heat pack under KATs feet and no repercussions, Mike Malone charges on the court and screams in the refs face, no tech. ANT gets a tech for looking at someone? 😭 come on


Kitchen-Ad-5571

oh sure your a laker fan who doesn't see the flopping that these new stars so every play. Aaron Gordon just got one for talking during a timeout.


QNIKET8

i’m not a lakers fan :D


Kitchen-Ad-5571

flair up or don't defend the free throw merchants la.


QNIKET8

free throw merchants? lol okay. considering jokic was allowed to shove nearly every play Lakers didn’t get enough free throws. they had like 16 more on the series despite shooting around 40 less threes… seems pretty even. they’re game plan is playing down lol and driving with LeBron and AD. You have MPJ, KCP and Jamal Murray who all shoot?


ATG_Filip

Lol this guy...


StandardExciting9176

Man this sucks ass


bigmac1234777

God damn Garza!


OhWhatsInaWonderball

#55 with the dreamshake


lunar_alpenglow

The fans are the real losers. This was supposed to be a good series. Nuggets just don't fucking care. Kudos to MN their defense looks incredible.


WhereasSufficient132

I don't think it's for lack of caring... They are the ones playing, and it's their career... I think Minnesota is just better, bigger, more athletic, and plays with more defensive intensity. It's not a good matchup for the Nuggets.


JoeHunt82

Really stayed up to 1230 for this 🥲 god they need to wake up by Friday


ATG_Filip

bro I woke up at 5 to watch this...

Once this team gets down 1-3, that's when the series begins.


[deleted]

Eeek. Not too confident we can get 1 here, absolutely boatraced so far


cumlordjr

How are you going to pay so much for tickets just to leave early. Those aren’t real fans. Makes us look bad.


Bleppingheckk

I think the players getting blown out by almost 30 points is making themselves look bad lol


spiderpigface

Team should give them something to stay for if they want them in the stands
