I feel like I’m going to be so bored this coming week.
I loved the vibes from Reggie and Bryant on the bench. Crazy how much energy they brought on a new team. Excited to have them on board.
Mavs: Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon don’t play today, we’ll beat them easily!
Jeff Green: My name’s Jeff
Woohoo. Glad i got to watch the altitude broadcast on PH cable too 💘💘💘
Lol I had Luka at Under 3.5 3PT FGs and almost peed my pants at 3:07 4Q
Woah! Nuggets?
3-0 in the Thomas Bryant era btw
Lakers look good sadly. Hope they fall off
How does Jokic continue to get these quiet triple dubs?!? This man is a treasure!
Nugs win, Avs beat the Wild….today was a good day!
Refs were the best Lakers trade deadline acquisition. God, I hope we don’t get them in playoffs
The copium in here when DAngelo Russell went to the lakers was crazy to me. They are much better now imo.
MPJ DPOG chain, you love to see it
Don’t think I’ve seen the nuggets stat pad for Jok in a long time. Also Thomas Bryant was fun but he was also huffing and puffing hopefully he trains over all star and gets more acclimated
I’m hoping Portland or OKC gets it done man. Lakers playing really fucking well and they’ll kill us in transition
I liked the Jeff “Sizzlin’ Senior” Green show
Oh no, it’s the ASB already? 😭
bill kennedy is the 🐐, glad we had a game with no shenanigans

Gotdamn the Nuggets get a dubya and the Avs get one too fuck yeah
I’d like to shout out the team for at least being respectable from the line these past couple weeks.
Braun picks up how to play with Jok so easily. This is why Bones was benched. I watched this exact play with Jok / Bones many times and not once was it this fluid.

I swear to god the Suns or Warriors are going to get Kevin Love out of this buyout. Hope he goes to Miami or the Clippers.
I heard that Reggie would be available pregame for some questions and an interview on altitude? Did they end up getting him on for a short interview or something?
The more I think about the Phoenix trade the more torn I am. I think it makes them better but not by the margins people think. My POV has nothing to do with Bridges scoring 45 tonight. Who the hell do they have to guard anyone on the perimeter? Someone is getting hurt by the conference finals. Ayton played decent defense against Jokic two years ago with a completely different roster. Torrey Craig is such a meh #1 defender for a contending team. Maybe I’m too confident but they have way more holes than us.
Every time I comment in the post game thread we win 🤔
>Thomas Bryant on being with the Nuggets:
>Smiling at the podium, “I’m very happy to be here.” Said he already feels a part of the team camaraderie.
>“You can tell these guys really care about each other.”
>Said it’s like a brother ship over here.
and
> Thomas Bryant: “I’m very happy to be here.”
>Said the biggest change is the team’s camaraderie. Later clarified he didn’t mean that as anything toward the Lakers, but he could just sent how close this team is.
😭😭😭
Awesome game by the team. Uncle Jeff 💪
I am loving all these Lakers fans that, unironically, think Beas and Vando as starters are the answer to all their problems…lmao.
Guys out there calling Vando a lockdown defender, and Beas a shooter….I honestly can’t…lmao
There was some garbage time shots, but Mavs out shot us from 3 and the line. It is really nice that we didn’t have to drop a nuke from 3 in order to dominate. Also, CB is insane. Great play making today, and while really low volume and uncontested usually, his 3 ball is dropping. It probably helps to have Jamal, MPJ, and KCP provide lessons. Hopefully he learns how to attack the close out if teams close hard on him. Like don’t don’t travel or step out of bounds. I was down on him after summer league and didn’t want to praise him recently, but these past 10 games have been really impressive except for Orlando lol
Loving the mpjs shooting % this game triple fifties
Jeff Green playing like some kind of atomic leopard, you love to see it.
