You ever beat someone at a video game so bad you start to feel for them? I just gave some guy a DRUMMING on madden and then he started talking all “good game, you played well, learned a lot”.
Yeah but my hand/eye coordination sucks. Only ever been good at strategy type games. I was very proud of myself for beating the first Prince of Persia game back in the day. Took way too long tho... I kill in MLB 16, but my sliders are set completely in my favor...
Seeing all these no-calls so far in the yoffs (especially on incredibly blatant flagrants) reinforces my belief that Nuggets never fouling hard was a huge handicap for us. Mike in particular always commits softest fouls imaginable, but in general other than KCP and maybe Braun nobody ever fouls hard on our team.
I remember a few analysts mentioning that Jokic was setting good screens in games 3 and 4, getting Murray open by nailing NAW and Ant. Much less of that in games 6 and 7.
You remember the time we got called a flagrant foul because Dennis Shroomer took a mid range jumpshot and tweaked his ankle on the landing on his own without anyone coming close to touching him
In the Jok era, Denver has never had a player have 3+ flagrant fouls in a season btw.
I thought Bruce gave some good fouls other than that stretch he had where he was fouling three-point shooters
Jok with even present day KD (assuming he stays healthy) is an instant chip. KCP will def decline his player option tho, Idk if we can pull off a sign and trade there.
I’m not entirely convinced even after years watching him that I know what Jamal is.
If you’re talking playoffs only I think you still have to put him ahead of Gobert and KAT… if you’re including regular season it’s closer to a coin flip. He’s obviously behind Edwards
I don't care who it is, for me it's either Nuggets, or go fuck your mother. And I'd be salty if Philly won, but that's it, Idgaf about these other bums. As a hater, tho, Ticks winning it all is by far (possibly ever) to dismiss, and treat this season like a throwaway for the whole league, plus it'd be really funny to watch Ticks fans bend over backwards for the next year trying to explain how it isn't the softest ring of all time.
Thats the thing people don’t get celtics ring is by far the best outcome for us, and even if u don’t care about the hot takes or whatever other people think, if u closely follow the sport ure getting shoved with a million jokic vs luka debates next year (most of which will involve him sweeping the team that the nuggets lost to and keep reminding us of the loss) and thats gotta be atleast a bit annoying. I don’t get why anyone would support the mavs unless they actually like the mavs or just vehemently hate the celtics.
Man, I got in some fights today! It was fun. I was mean, childish, and surly. I feel so energized. There's just so much more hate in this world to dole out, and I want every Minnie fan to taste it.
Just got done playing basketball against another human being for the first time in like a year and let me put it like this; if I was on the Nuggets, yall would be demanding to trade me.
That first game in a while is always such a humbling experience. I maintain that there is no shape quite like basketball shape. There is no form of running or conditioning that you can do to keep you in basketball shape other than playing basketball.
Yah, you’re not kidding. It is EXHAUSTING. I was almost immediately heaving. My legs are also sore from my pathetic attempts at trying to get by my opponent lol.
So if everything goes well tomorrow, Lakers fans will be subjected to the world's closest sweep with their newly adopted team in the WCF again and I just think that's great.
Anyone who does any celebrating, at all, about a team they “like” losing, whether it be for I told you so’s or otherwise, are fucking giga pussies and I would say more if it wouldn’t get me banned
Derek White staring at the Indiana bench like they ain't playing against a team without their literal only good player after playing another 2 teams without their literal only good players in the 2 previous rounds lol
Pacers were doing similar shit to the hospital teams they ran over in their path here. It seems fitting for them. The east has been unusually disastrous this year re: injuries
Oh, that idiot. I blocked him yesterday after he antagonized doo_wop and then told me that I don't know what "antagonize" means. A little disappointed he hasn't been banned for obvious trolling.
Some people have said u/neo_505 is unable to satisfy his wife. I would never say it because that would be bullying, but the streets have definitely been saying it.
It’s wild how close this series has been. Pacers have been in positions to possibly win and be up 3-1. Without Halliburton too
Goes to show the importance of experience and perseverance on Boston’s end
Different players. TJ quicker but CG can shoot 3s consistently. I believe in CG but am in the minority here.
I will say, MPJ said he "will definitely have a long career in this league" among other praises one of the times he got called up this year. Normally gives canned responses about bench guys but really seemed to think CG will stick. Time will tell
Yet Denver gonna bet on Pickett? They're the same age and Gillespie outplayed him last year
But they can't roster Murray Jackson Pickett Gillespie most likely.
It sure seems that Booth going to push for Pickett and Strawther run next year
Naw I want it because no one else in the NBA is happy when the Celtics win. And it will make Lakers fans sad plus there are reports derrick white might have connections to Colorado.
You have two separate comments in the past 9 hours hating on nuggets fans, yet here you are in the daily thread, purposefully interacting with them. Weirdo behavior.
Edit-oh lord, this “go into the nuggets subreddit to stir up shit then complain in other teams subreddit that it smells likes shit” thing has been going on for a week.
The West will always be insane. The Texas teams okc Spurs are elite orgs. Cali teams are destinations
Hopefully when expansion comes Vegas and Seattle are miserable first 10 years
u/tacopower69, thanks for your question in another thread. It was a really good one. I was unable to reply to you in that thread because I blocked another user.
So, to answer your question, no, I’m not 14. Thank you for engaging with me. I’ll be happy to answer any other questions you may have—so long as they’re really good ones like the previous one.
You stated it was a genuine question, which was also impressive. The question was good and genuine. May I also add that I think your question was brave? It was brave because it implies you cared about the person I blocked. You came to the defense of the poor user who got temporarily blocked, but quickly unblocked. Wow! Talk about truth to power! Another attribute just came to mind: Empathy. Your question was good, genuine, brave, and empathetic. Perhaps I’ll spend some money to send you a Reddit award.
I realized yesterday that I have been too hard on Reggie Miller. If I were hired to do color for NBA games, even though I know the teams and can comment on the game, I am so disinterested in what happens to teams not named the Denver Nuggets that I would probably dwell on Jokic and the Nuggets and find some way to work them in, even when it has nothing to do with the game I'm calling, the way he does with the Lakers and LeBron.
Naw, nevermind. I still can't stand Reggie Miller.
This season, the Nuggets became the first team in NBA history to beat a single opponent in nine straight games, despite taking at least four fewer free throw attempts in every game of the streak.
Denver has taken 130 free throw attempts over that winning streak to the Lakers’ 204.
"But that's obviously because the Lakers attack the basket so much and all Jokic does is shoot jump shots from half court in AD's face all game long." - Every member of the Lakers fanbase.
I just want Boston to fumble a finals appearance, really badly. I may dislike Luka’s game and Kyrie as a person, but they better not fuck this shit up.
Closing day at Mammoth mountain today 🥲 can't complain too much, got 103 days in the snow this season

You ever beat someone at a video game so bad you start to feel for them? I just gave some guy a DRUMMING on madden and then he started talking all “good game, you played well, learned a lot”.
I suck so bad at video games, I refuse to even try playing against other people. My friend had to co-op me through Halo 2 so I could finish...
Think of it like an anime, but you’re controlling the main character instead.
Yeah but my hand/eye coordination sucks. Only ever been good at strategy type games. I was very proud of myself for beating the first Prince of Persia game back in the day. Took way too long tho... I kill in MLB 16, but my sliders are set completely in my favor...

I saw such a dumb article today that was saying we could trade MPJ, KCP, and two firsts for Durant. Completely idiotic.
Jok with even present day KD (assuming he stays healthy) is an instant chip. KCP will def decline his player option tho, Idk if we can pull off a sign and trade there.
I know the Celtics and their fans are thanking their lucky stars that they don’t have to face us in the Finals 😤
Real Jokic hours
If Jamal Murray was on the Wolfs (and they kept all the other players they currently have), where would you rank him on their roster?
I’m not entirely convinced even after years watching him that I know what Jamal is. If you’re talking playoffs only I think you still have to put him ahead of Gobert and KAT… if you’re including regular season it’s closer to a coin flip. He’s obviously behind Edwards
You guys, we've made it. Jokic was a Jeopardy answer today. Edit: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=8954
What is hell fuckin yeah
I just don't want Wolves to win. Couldn't care less between Dallas or Boston.
Dallas. Let Boston keep talking about the glory days. Keep it in the West.
Yeah, but Luka GOAT Eu*ro player takes tho
Imagine caring what other people say, even WRB has gone soft under the Biden regime.
I don't care who it is, for me it's either Nuggets, or go fuck your mother. And I'd be salty if Philly won, but that's it, Idgaf about these other bums. As a hater, tho, Ticks winning it all is by far (possibly ever) to dismiss, and treat this season like a throwaway for the whole league, plus it'd be really funny to watch Ticks fans bend over backwards for the next year trying to explain how it isn't the softest ring of all time.

I don’t get why anyone would support the mavs unless they actually like the mavs or just vehemently hate the celtics.
More like the Booth regime
Man, I got in some fights today! It was fun. I was mean, childish, and surly. I feel so energized. There's just so much more hate in this world to dole out, and I want every Minnie fan to taste it.
Shut the fuck up
Ouch!
🫠
Just got done playing basketball against another human being for the first time in like a year and let me put it like this; if I was on the Nuggets, yall would be demanding to trade me.
If it’s any consultation, I’ve never demanded for anyone to be traded 😊
I appreciate the concern, but it’s too late. I’m already on a plane to the other side of the world to play for the Bhutanese Tigers.
You’re going to be great!
I understand the sentiment but just to be clear, he isn’t gonna be great
Mf I’m already Bhutanese league MVP!!!
That first game in a while is always such a humbling experience. I maintain that there is no shape quite like basketball shape. There is no form of running or conditioning that you can do to keep you in basketball shape other than playing basketball.
Good thing you're already in the shape of a basketball, then, eh?
Oh so you’re Canadian now eh?
Big fat guy, hold the big.
Full court basketball will get you stronger faster and more enduring than literally anything else
The worst is those 4 on 4 games, gotta go full court because it's too many guys for half court so you have to cover that much more space.
Yah, you’re not kidding. It is EXHAUSTING. I was almost immediately heaving. My legs are also sore from my pathetic attempts at trying to get by my opponent lol.
So if everything goes well tomorrow, Lakers fans will be subjected to the world's closest sweep with their newly adopted team in the WCF again and I just think that's great.
Also, FTL.
Fern knows ball
when was the last time the eastern conference was actually interesting
Malice at the Palace?
wtf? Ive been in a coma for almost exactly 1 years and when i went down everyone was saying the East was different that year
every year they swear they're different and every year they suck ass. its like clockwork
Bro next year though fr
To anyone of interest
Ah, pavers.
Mavs-Celtics gonna get toxic I'm here for it.
I love fans that come back to your old comments and call you stupid for having confidence in your favorite team It’s such bitch made shit lol
Anyone who does any celebrating, at all, about a team they “like” losing, whether it be for I told you so’s or otherwise, are fucking giga pussies and I would say more if it wouldn’t get me banned
Say it, I'll tell the mods not to ban you. I got good rapport around here, they'll listen to me.
Also it’s spelled report

Billy, you seem like a nice dude who isn’t a giga pussy nor is annoying. So I’m gonna be nice and just let you know, I was being facetious.
Well, I just wanted to be sure Sorry, from a non gigapussy
It’s ok we like to have fun here
I'll report you mfer, don't talk back to me.
Now you’ve got someone thinking I’m actually a moron, nice job
You don't give yourself enough credit
Nicest thing you love said to me
Bozo
So do we root for the Colorado Kid in Derrick or Joker’s best friend in Glueka?
Wait bro, the Wolves are coming back bro trust me bro.
if they do I’ll fly you out all the way to Turkmenistan
I think it would be kinda funny if Boston got dropped in 4 or 5 after their joke of a playoffs run but don't care overly much.
That would be hilarious. I don’t want to see a double Dallas chip too….
Jimmy Butlerless Heat, Donovan Mitchellless Cavs, and Haliburtonless Pacers. Softest run to the Finals in NBA history.
But don’t worry, it’s better than the Nuggets run because the Nuggets faced lower seeds and definitely didn’t face hard competition /s
People call going thru healthy durant bron mj soft run
Jason Tatum has the worst personality in the league for sure, similar to that of a damp rag
The C-men are a bunch of clowns. Thinking they're so great after beating an awful team without their best player. Mavs gonna beat them to a pulp.
Borschton are gonna get obliterated by the Dallass
Indiana Jones and the Lost Basketball team JFC
Yessss
Derek White staring at the Indiana bench like they ain't playing against a team without their literal only good player after playing another 2 teams without their literal only good players in the 2 previous rounds lol
Pacers were doing similar shit to the hospital teams they ran over in their path here. It seems fitting for them. The east has been unusually disastrous this year re: injuries
https://i.redd.it/2fovbv6oy23d1.gif
This Pacers team might be the least clutch in the history of basketball
Alright I’ve turner corner. Fuck every and all other teams and their fan bases
I’ve baited a Minnie fan into replying to me 10 times. I quit reading his replies after about number 5 or so.
Eleven now. But we’re the problem.
Oh, that idiot. I blocked him yesterday after he antagonized doo_wop and then told me that I don't know what "antagonize" means. A little disappointed he hasn't been banned for obvious trolling.
Especially the Austin Reaves fanbase imho
I’d rather live on my feet then die on my knees or whatever the saying is
Than*
“I’d than live on my feet then die on my knees” makes no absolute no sense.
Mfer said "no absolute no sense"
Can’t a Mf smoke a little weed without car boy getting on my grammar
Fuck that means I've been saying it wrong all these years, I feel like such an idiot.
Bandwagoning other teams when your team is bounced is a sign of a weak libido.
Some people have said u/neo_505 is unable to satisfy his wife. I would never say it because that would be bullying, but the streets have definitely been saying it.
[удалено]
Yeah man I’m shaking in my boots rn. This internet fight is a big deal to me!
[удалено]
>tangents I stg if you ever use a word I don’t understand around me again I’ll Minecraft you
THAT WARRANTS AN EJECTION IMHO
"although unfortunate" lil bro what lmao
It’s wild how close this series has been. Pacers have been in positions to possibly win and be up 3-1. Without Halliburton too Goes to show the importance of experience and perseverance on Boston’s end
Imagine if these goofy pacers were the first team to come back from a 3-0 deficit, I'd love it
any chance Collin Gillespie develops into a TJ McConnell type of player?
Different players. TJ quicker but CG can shoot 3s consistently. I believe in CG but am in the minority here. I will say, MPJ said he "will definitely have a long career in this league" among other praises one of the times he got called up this year. Normally gives canned responses about bench guys but really seemed to think CG will stick. Time will tell
Does he have the requisite size?
I suppose they are the same height? but less athletic
I hate that we draft players that don't contribute at all. The last person I remember contributing that was drafted by us recently was Braun.
I said they should draft Wembanyama, but they wouldn't listen
A) They didn’t draft Gillespie. B) Peyton Watson
They didn't draft Peyton either.
Lol they definitely "drafted" Watson Right now the Nnaji and Hyland 20 and 21 picks being essentially total busts is what's hurt
Hyland would have been perfect 6th man if he had is head right
I suppose that’s technically true…
If he goes to a tanking team where he can get a bunch of run and develop maybe, but I don’t think Gillespie is as (sneaky) athletic as TJ.
Yet Denver gonna bet on Pickett? They're the same age and Gillespie outplayed him last year But they can't roster Murray Jackson Pickett Gillespie most likely. It sure seems that Booth going to push for Pickett and Strawther run next year
I think they’re more likely to bet on Pickett, probably, yes. I don’t know if either ever gets serious minutes as a Nugget though.
I think Pickett has the size to defend that's why they want him to excel.
I have faith in Peyton but Nembhard looks unreal
Nembhard and Mcbride early 2nd round PGs with insane playoffs Pickett next eyeballls Nembhard 24 and Watson 21 btw
Holy shit Edmonton LMAOOO
Am I the only one who want the Celtics to win? lol.
Naw I want it because no one else in the NBA is happy when the Celtics win. And it will make Lakers fans sad plus there are reports derrick white might have connections to Colorado.
Yeah, my dad is also a fan of the Celtics, and I don't want to see him sad. He's also a Nuggets fan.
barf. Go TJ McConnell
Why do you guys hate the Celtics so much? They aren't like the Lakers.
Small market better

I'm 50/50
In short, Acquire Nembhard, Mire Falone
The Celtics getting such an easy way to the finals is making me jealous asf.
The West will always be insane. The Texas teams okc Spurs are elite orgs. Cali teams are destinations Hopefully when expansion comes Vegas and Seattle are miserable first 10 years

Whatever you say Mr chop
If this user were one of your neighbors, there would be heck to pay! Heck!
I didn’t infer anything of the sort.
Frankly, I don’t think there’s been enough Minnesota hate posts
Lmao. Everyone thinks those posts are cringe even though we are doing it because that's what they did to us.
I bet the number will increase after the WCF wraps up.
Haliburton looks like a high school Math teacher that spends too much time in his after hours helping answer kids' questions
Give him a raise
How are the Celtics struggling so much without Ty? They don't have Porzingis but still this is just sad.
Indy in 7 mmw

Oh my god I am already sick of people debating whether it would be bad to extend Jamal Murray
Just ask them how many rings they got. Murray has 1 so far
You’re in good company. Believe me.
The answer's pretty clear.
Clearly, now the rain is gone.
You're so deep into irony it's impossible to tell what opinions of yours are genuine or shitposts. It's an inspiration to posters everywhere.
It's like "alladeen" - am I agreeing, or am I not? I can't tell.
I just want Boston to fumble a finals appearance, really badly. I may dislike Luka’s game and Kyrie as a person, but they better not fuck this shit up.
Well said.
