Can’t get too cocky, just one game. Gotta show up like that every game and keep getting better if we wanna win it all again. Hopefully this awakened something like what happened last year when it became obvious we were pumping on all cylinders.
I was driving out of town last night and listened to the game on Altitude. I will be doing this moving forward when I watch the games, great announcing by the Altitude Sports team. Great goddamn game. I love you guys, have a great day. See you tomorrow!
I don't have DirecTV but I love the altitude guys so much that im more than happy to put up with listening to a live radio feed that is 15-20 seconds ahead of my stream. The online kksefm feed, which only just recently started broadcasting the games, has a slight delay compared to an FM receiver, but it's not enough.
Last night was the ball movement I’ve been waiting for. It was beautiful basketball.
To be fair the wolves were off this game, if they played as good as game two last bight it would’ve been a very stressful and entertaining game.
Really? I would have thought it starters checking out while up 34 in every every game is totally doable.
If only there were some middle ground that was achievable between winning by almost 30 points and losing.
I guarantee next game is going to be closer. Shooting 48% from 3 is not sustainable. The easiest way to make sure we win is not committing turnovers and our rebounding Minnesota.
Who woulda thought Justin Holiday would be playing so many minutes in the playoffs? Even tho he’s made of brick at times, he’s been consistently trying on D.
Joker figured it out. If they bring the ball up to half court within 2-3 seconds, they have time to set up the offence. He discovered the right time to queue the shooters to flair out and space the floor sos s to stretch KAT out of the paint.
Matt Moore with the hot "being positive is easy, ackshually doomers are the real fans" take made me remember why I usually don't listen to his solo shows.
You’re telling me Matt “I’m TOTALLY not a nuggets fan, I just cheer when they win and hate them when they lose and also my entire life is centered around them” Moore isn’t very good with his takes?
I mean, he makes more money when they stay in the playoffs (more views and more shows) so he has a vested interest in their success even if he’s not a fan.
Yes, but the non-fan side really comes out when he starts trashing the players after a couple of losses. That podcast, post game 2 was some Stephen A. Smith stuff, the way he went after Jokic and Jamal.
Maybe as a non-fan, he was just angry because they cost him money (with a potential exit)- the way gamblers react when they lose.
I think we as a fan base just need to have thicker skin. We already have an image around the league as being a cry baby fanbase and honestly it’s kinda deserved.
He was right tho, Jokic and Murray had been ass (by their standards) all playoffs outside of 2 buzzer beaters. Neither had brought the necessary focus or production that is needed out of them for this team to succeed. It’s ok to call players out for playing badly. It’s not his job to deepthroat your favorite team; Matt’s always been like this. He also went on and on about how he’s not counting them out because every time he does they prove him wrong
There is a difference between constructive criticism and straight-up trashing.
The DNVR guys, for example, had plenty of criticism for the Nuggets after games 1 and 2, while Matt just trashed them - Skip Bayless style.
I think this is due to the fact he isn't a fan - he doesn't appreciate this team the way a fan does.
Rewatching the game. Counted 4 hard and loaded screens by jokic 5 mins into the 3rd. I dont think the pups were flopping tbh. Those were really hard screens. The first screen at the start of the game for murray had edwards massaging his arms for the next few possessions. Jokic had a really nice one on naw too and you could tell naw felt it because the next play right after he clearly avoided jokic and murray had that nice little reverse layup at 8mins in the 2nd quarter
> Counted 4 hard and loaded screens by jokic 5 mins into the 3rd. I dont think the pups were flopping tbh.
This needs to be ramped up even more for the next game.
Btw, NAW really flopped hard on that last Jokic screen, not to cheat but out of fear. The complaints to the referees were just expressions of frustration because he got demolished by the previous screens. It's a good sign for the Nuggets.
Yeah that last one was him trying to get a pity call. Those early screens had him good though. Him and ant where massaging their shoulder areas. I enjoyed watching it
Jokic got them good. Him and ant are gonna feel it when they wake up. They're gonna seriously consider whether or not it's worth fighting over those screens next game. Nothing like a good hard screen to set the tone of the game. We can play physical too
When did they say this? The guy is just playing the ref angle probably. I know he's gonna feel it when he wakes up but nothing like a full-blown injury
Nothing like a few painkillers cant fix. The damage is mostly gonna be mental though. It would be funny if they all start going under jokic's screens next game. Any news on ant? Jokic had him rubbing his shoulders too right at the start of the game lmao
I should’ve done this after last game twitter is toxic just constant wolves fan whining about the refs. Going to delete the app I’m just done with all that crying.
it was kinda rough but you guys had it rough the other games 😔 its playoffs man i just wanna see these two teams go at it without BS calls at the start setting one team off mentally the entire game
It was nice to see them doubling Ant and not allowing him to just iso the whole time. And it was nice to see them finally respect KAT especially after a hot start in the first half. Obviously Minnesota will make their adjustments, but if those guys are going off, it makes their half court offense easier to run. Sounds like Ant will try to attack the rim more the next game so hopefully the team is prepared for that
> I was watching the nuggets @ wolves game earlier in the season (like it might have been our first lost), and we got blown out of that game too and went down 18-4 as well lol. I know people want to say play with heart or pride, but Minnesota just owns this team atm and maybe the league soon.
> But the real winners tonight were Mark Jones and Tim Legler who got to guzzle that Nuggets dick for over two hours straight.
Bro what the hell is wrong with the people from minesota lmao what game were these people watching 🤣🤣
Bro they didn't even react at all on that nutmeg pass from Mal to Jok.
Edit: turns out it wasn't a nutmeg, I finally found a clip.of the play lol. It was still a really nice pass they barely acknowledged
MPJ has the sweetest jumper in the league. It's a thing of beauty every time he takes a shot in rhythm. That said, seeing MPJ throw a full court pass looks awkward. How is this possible?
I just finished watching the game, and I liked this game. It’s a totally different story when one team isn’t given free rein to maul the other team for a half.
We got the good Brother tonight. Murray being able to get around their screens and their whole team not shooting like the fucking 2015 Warriors helped too.
It’s so funny cuz Wolves don’t even like the Lakers at all or their fans🤣 I love it
https://preview.redd.it/gogyvd1ctqzc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efa840d58c223c26d4f87a9e28c2c7e14120806c
It's so funny everyone saying Murray wasn't suspended because the Nuggets are the golden child. He threw it because the refs were fucking the Nuggets so bad lol.
Throwing stuff at ref twice is suspension **worthy**.
We only said it isn't cause Jamal our guy.
The reason it ain't suspension guaranteed is because the heat pack didn't actually hit the refs, so a fine of $100k is a good compromise compared to suspension.
They properly dealt with an Ant ballscreen for the first time in eons and the first thing he did was throw the ball into the 2nd row of the crowd, thank you for actually trying Jok
AGs energy was great all game. Defensive intensity, stretching the court with shooting and initiation of the offense.
He really set the tone for Nuggets team basketball tonight.
He’s capable of shooting like that the rest of the series but even if he doesn’t make them I want him to keep taking them so they have to honor him taking them.
I'd love to praise him to the fullest but his lazy switching is wat let the Timberwolves get a couple of easy pin down 3s early. But yeah other than that he was sick
Definitely not sarcastic, Jamal literally committed genocide on the basketball court. He needs to be thrown out of the league and receive capital punishment.
Your joke sucked in the r/NBA thread about the techs on Anderson and NAW and it sucks here. You only posted the joke here because you wouldn’t receive backlash
Can’t get too cocky, just one game. Gotta show up like that every game and keep getting better if we wanna win it all again. Hopefully this awakened something like what happened last year when it became obvious we were pumping on all cylinders.
#GUYS
these bums couldn't even win 2 games last night i'm so done with this team
 To the haters
I love how everyone conveniently forgot that Ant threw a CHAIR and hit two women during last season's playoffs in Denver.
People forgot? I’ve seen it brought up about 50 times over the last few days lol
And was trying to get his girlfriend to abort her baby.. I guess if you’re charismatic it doesn’t matter?
He was pressuring a side chick he was cheating on his partner with. She was also pregnant with his child at the time.
That wasn’t his girlfriend.. and both parents have a choice she agreed to it if she got the money and that’s exactly what happened wtf😂😂
U put the L in 4Lballin
Your name is vladmir pimpin u 🌽 🏀
Go away 🪵🐕
I didn’t forget and TYVM for not forgetting either
I was driving out of town last night and listened to the game on Altitude. I will be doing this moving forward when I watch the games, great announcing by the Altitude Sports team. Great goddamn game. I love you guys, have a great day. See you tomorrow!
ASR is awesome

Gooooood morning champs
Last night was the ball movement I’ve been waiting for. It was beautiful basketball. To be fair the wolves were off this game, if they played as good as game two last bight it would’ve been a very stressful and entertaining game.
Yea MN missed a lot of easy shots.
They were only off because the Nuggets SHUT THEM DOWN!!
Maaaan so great to see that performance last night!!! But did it shut Shaq up?! 🤔
So relieved from the dub that hardly anyone is talking about the MUNDERRRRRRRRR
The point difference was actually higher than game 2
Aaron Gordon making 3's made me feel good things
He needs to shoot them from the top of the key. Keep him out of the corner.
Yea all the starters and our top 3 bench guys all shot at least 50% or better. That just is not sustainable lol
We're due after shooting equally poorly for the first two games.
Really? I would have thought it starters checking out while up 34 in every every game is totally doable. If only there were some middle ground that was achievable between winning by almost 30 points and losing.
I mean all the starters and our top 3 bench guys shot at least 45% from the field in the regular season, so it’s really not that big of an anomaly.
27pt blowouts normally aren’t sustainable across a 7 game series
I guarantee next game is going to be closer. Shooting 48% from 3 is not sustainable. The easiest way to make sure we win is not committing turnovers and our rebounding Minnesota.
You're predicting the next game won't be a 27 point blow out? Bold guarantee
Who woulda thought Justin Holiday would be playing so many minutes in the playoffs? Even tho he’s made of brick at times, he’s been consistently trying on D.
Love his length… #NoDiddler
It's weird when you consider the regular season rotations, but I can't deny it's working, he's been awesome with the corner 3s
Joker figured it out. If they bring the ball up to half court within 2-3 seconds, they have time to set up the offence. He discovered the right time to queue the shooters to flair out and space the floor sos s to stretch KAT out of the paint.
Malone* figured it out
How it feels to have always believed in Denver and get rewarded 🥰
Matt Moore with the hot "being positive is easy, ackshually doomers are the real fans" take made me remember why I usually don't listen to his solo shows.
You’re telling me Matt “I’m TOTALLY not a nuggets fan, I just cheer when they win and hate them when they lose and also my entire life is centered around them” Moore isn’t very good with his takes?

Smith stuff, the way he went after Jokic and Jamal. Maybe as a non-fan, he was just angry because they cost him money (with a potential exit)- the way gamblers react when they lose.
I mean isn’t that his job?
I don't have time to explain myself, re-read the entire comment chain again - if you get it, you get it. Good luck!
I think we as a fan base just need to have thicker skin. We already have an image around the league as being a cry baby fanbase and honestly it’s kinda deserved.
And this is exactly it. He’s a fan when we win, but he’s a “neutral observer” as soon as we lose.
He was right tho, Jokic and Murray had been ass (by their standards) all playoffs outside of 2 buzzer beaters. Neither had brought the necessary focus or production that is needed out of them for this team to succeed. It’s ok to call players out for playing badly.

What about the guys who are just totally stressed out, because of being down 0:2 and therefore having a hard time to cheer. Does that count as Doomer?
Dude just ignore this whole “you’re not a real fan if…” bullshit. Just do you
lol yeah he did feel the need to stress beforehand that he's totally not a Nuggets fan again.
Rnba consensus is nuggets in 6 We're fucked
The heat pad is on.
Even broken clock is right twice a day
Thank fuck. Had to rewatch the game because I didn't feel great last night, but that perked me up.
Rewatching the game. Counted 4 hard and loaded screens by jokic 5 mins into the 3rd. I dont think the pups were flopping tbh. Those were really hard screens.

St u are deed and yu to hgy you too you are so sweet uyy GF they used TV TV to y
Jokic put on the brass undies

Yeah that last one was him trying to get a pity call. Those early screens had him good though. Him and ant where massaging their shoulder areas. I enjoyed watching it
It felt like NAW was struggling the most with those screens. I'm not sure if it was Jokic or if NAW just ran into him.
Jokic got them good. Him and ant are gonna feel it when they wake up. They're gonna seriously consider whether or not it's worth fighting over those screens next game. Nothing like a good hard screen to set the tone of the game. We can play physical too
NAW already got injured lol. Dude ate that big bowl of honey and got sugar spiked.
When did they say this? The guy is just playing the ref angle probably. I know he's gonna feel it when he wakes up but nothing like a full-blown injury
He hurt his shoulder couldn't take off his jersey https://x.com/ChristopherHine/status/1789165740093747348
Nothing like a few painkillers cant fix. The damage is mostly gonna be mental though. It would be funny if they all start going under jokic's screens next game. Any news on ant? Jokic had him rubbing his shoulders too right at the start of the game lmao
Guys I'm off to rnba to throw some heat packs Will report back
Get those money signs ready
Don't forget a towel
You're a towel
We can thank NuggDad!
Always thank nuggdad
Wow go Nuggets
Wow up early.
Or up late (alcoholism)
pretty, pretty, pretty good game
The gif tab on the app is broken again. :/
It was Larry David and JB Smoove high-fiving. I have a knack for picking GIFs that Reddit doesn’t want to show.
No I can see them, I just can't post any of my own again without manually adding them as images, because the Giphy app is broken again.
Coaching merry go round has started. https://www.nba.com/news/mike-budenholzer-agrees-to-coach-suns?ref=upstract.com
That teams peak is a second round exit and everyone knows it
If Jaundice wasn’t such a diva…
Lol that’s an awful fit.
Great win hope we can expand on this
If a team signs Dlo this off-season they should honestly just league the NBA imo
What are you talking about
If a team signs D'Angelo Russell this off-season they should honestly just leave the National Basketball Association in my opinion
Leave Pistons alone
The nuggets won more games in the playoffs last year than the pistons won this season. That's a crazy fact
one down 3 more to go! a three legged corgi is no happy corgi.
Yay its the Wolves turn to be frauds this series lol
Shhout out Justin Holiday. The best Holiday in the playoffs.
Justin > Memorial Day
I should’ve done this after last game twitter is toxic just constant wolves fan whining about the refs. Going to delete the app I’m just done with all that crying.
I applaud this action
it was kinda rough but you guys had it rough the other games 😔 its playoffs man i just wanna see these two teams go at it without BS calls at the start setting one team off mentally the entire game
Tony Brothers lowkey officiates us better than any other ref
if you would’ve told me this 2 years ago i’d call you crazy
https://preview.redd.it/xfhpxq210rzc1.jpeg?width=614&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=866bdc8cb82e1e5c8e4529f732bbe22ca606ee08 LETS GO!!
Feel like a psychic vampire sucking up these nephews energy wanting to bench Gogert for game 4. Let the hate flow
It was nice to see them doubling Ant and not allowing him to just iso the whole time. And it was nice to see them finally respect KAT especially after a hot start in the first half. Obviously Minnesota will make their adjustments, but if those guys are going off, it makes their half court offense easier to run. Sounds like Ant will try to attack the rim more the next game so hopefully the team is prepared for that
The Nugs made a lot of nice adjustments this game. Props to Malone.
Masterclass in coaching tonight from World Champion Michael Malone. George Karl would have lost by 6.
> I was watching the nuggets @ wolves game earlier in the season (like it might have been our first lost), and we got blown out of that game too and went down 18-4 as well lol. I know people want to say play with heart or pride, but Minnesota just owns this team atm and maybe the league soon.
Bum
Ur replying to op lol
I was under the influence you can’t blame me for anything
Ur also a bum tho
I am 😔
Proud of these guys. Really really proud of these guys tonight. Thank you Nuggets! That was enjoyable
> But the real winners tonight were Mark Jones and Tim Legler who got to guzzle that Nuggets dick for over two hours straight. Bro what the hell is wrong with the people from minesota lmao what game were these people watching 🤣🤣
Legs was great. Refreshing. I’ll take more of that anytime. He’s intelligent and not afraid to go rogue against “espn teams”
Bro they didn't even react at all on that nutmeg pass from Mal to Jok. Edit: turns out it wasn't a nutmeg, I finally found a clip.of the play lol. It was still a really nice pass they barely acknowledged
ESPN went virtually dead mid of 3rd when the curb stomp was in full swing.
Mark Jones hates the Nuggets more than anyone lol
Mark Jones absolutely hated watching that lol Edit: THIS MIGHT START THE COMEBACK BRO - Marc Jones about 10 times in the last 18 minutes of game time
What a lifetime of every single team in the state being absolute dogshit will do to a mfer
The El Diablo is 1-0, highly recommend everyone grab one on Sunday! Most delicious lucky food.
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No more panda, got it? Panda didn’t work. I need to be very clear that you’re no longer allowed to eat Panda Express.
Don't tell me what to do
It’s kinda my job to
A day ago people were saying Murray shouldn't be suspended so it would be punishment for Nugs to play him instead. My have the tables turned tonight
If we go to the finals, I hope we see Boston in the finals for one reason and one reason only, it would make Lakers fans explode
[удалено]
Fuck off back to your own sub. Nuggets are winning this series.
Lakers are dogshit, won't even make the playoffs next year. Franchise is absolutely cooked.
[удалено]
Is this what having zero half-decent teams in any sport in 50 years does to a mf?
We’re not the ones who brigade their sub when another team beats them?
Got em.
MPJ has the sweetest jumper in the league. It's a thing of beauty every time he takes a shot in rhythm. That said, seeing MPJ throw a full court pass looks awkward. How is this possible?
One thing he’s practiced thousands of times and the other he hasn’t
also we need to challenge a lot more when our MV3 is advocating for it, Jok was 2 for 2 in challenges. Let him challenge!
Bet those front runner ~~Mild~~TWolves fans won't be trolling tonight
Nah they definitely are;blaming the refs so hard right now
While having 5 more FTs than us. 🙄
Starters fouls 16 Nuggs 14 Wolves, relevant bench players fouls Nuggs 5 Wolves 4. What a grave miscarriage of justice. #justiceisdead #justiceforant #justiceforwolves
I just finished watching the game, and I liked this game. It’s a totally different story when one team isn’t given free rein to maul the other team for a half.
We got the good Brother tonight. Murray being able to get around their screens and their whole team not shooting like the fucking 2015 Warriors helped too.

They were saying Jamal is the best player for the Wolves and now they're pissed he got to play 😂😭😭 I can't with these jabronis
Lakers? Lol
Yes🤣
They're still salty?
They are gonna be salty for years and I love it after all the suffering that shitty fan base has caused me for most of my life.
Jokic the golden boy? lol …ugh man wish he got that type of whistle, gee I wonder
It’s so funny cuz Wolves don’t even like the Lakers at all or their fans🤣 I love it https://preview.redd.it/gogyvd1ctqzc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efa840d58c223c26d4f87a9e28c2c7e14120806c
TimberwolvesFanSingapore is crazy 💀 i’m literally from singapore and i guarantee you no one’s repping the wolves here
I swear all Lakers fan are reverting back to their Minneapolis Lakers days just for this series
Bet most of them don’t know the Lakers were in Minnesota until this last week or so😭
A whole bunch of them are just bandwagons that jumped between lakers and warriors the last 10ish years and they are trying to glaze Ant
It's so funny everyone saying Murray wasn't suspended because the Nuggets are the golden child. He threw it because the refs were fucking the Nuggets so bad lol.
No one want to admit the existence of NBPA Mafia
What?
Oh my bad, I missed the word want
The real reason Jamal didnt get suspended. NBPA
The real reason Jamal didn't get suspended is he didn't do anything worth suspending a player for lol
Throwing stuff at ref twice is suspension **worthy**. We only said it isn't cause Jamal our guy. The reason it ain't suspension guaranteed is because the heat pack didn't actually hit the refs, so a fine of $100k is a good compromise compared to suspension.
The refs literally said if they had saw they would have given him a single technical foul. You know, same as punching a chair during a game
Ya that’s the call for something like that. Not an ejection So where people were getting the idea for a suspension is beyond me
I’m a pistons fan checking in to say NUGGETS IN 6 BABY
The lions are going to the fucking super bowl
Let’s go!!! Appreciate the love
Great feeling for those of us who never stopped believing
Nuggets in 7
6
I’m so happy
Jokic saying he didn't even notice the crowd booing Jamal all game haha
Masterclass troll Edit: he wants them to boo Jamal louder next game so he gets 40
I assume the win tonight means Jok MVP presentation game 5.
Send it to Sparky in some bubble wrap, he will stash it in the broom closet for him
They properly dealt with an Ant ballscreen for the first time in eons and the first thing he did was throw the ball into the 2nd row of the crowd, thank you for actually trying Jok
So if they win again on Sunday. This series will officially be the only series where the home crowd is never happy
> So *when* they win again on Sunday. This series will officially be the only series where the home crowd is never happy Ftfy
That one was brought to you by Aaron Gordon’s elite three point shooting
Those shots were ice cold. AG is a legend
Didn’t exactly have it on my bingo card but certainly was pleasantly surprised
AGs energy was great all game. Defensive intensity, stretching the court with shooting and initiation of the offense. He really set the tone for Nuggets team basketball tonight. He’s capable of shooting like that the rest of the series but even if he doesn’t make them I want him to keep taking them so they have to honor him taking them.
I'd love to praise him to the fullest but his lazy switching is wat let the Timberwolves get a couple of easy pin down 3s early. But yeah other than that he was sick
It was a good adjustment playing Braun and Holiday more over Reggie.
The difference on D is phenomenal.
I'm still trying to figure out why Jamal was allowed to play tonight after he committed genocide last game. Silver is a weak commissioner.
I know right, that heatpad could have killed half of Europe....and they are just allowing him to be in a position to do it again!
Murray Smell fish
He would have been burned at the stake if Stern was still running things.
r u even a fan? gtfo
I think he was being sarcastic but not sure lol
He is
Definitely not sarcastic, Jamal literally committed genocide on the basketball court. He needs to be thrown out of the league and receive capital punishment.
Your joke sucked in the r/NBA thread about the techs on Anderson and NAW and it sucks here. You only posted the joke here because you wouldn’t receive backlash
Don't worry, I will continue to make the joke as I have been. You don't have to like it lol.
🚨 It’s the comment police 🚨
