1. Highlight of attending the game tonight was arguing with another Nuggets fan who was demanding we take Jokic out of the game in 2nd quarter. We’re officially bored everyone lol. Give me playoffs please

2. Malone had some super late timeouts too

3. Feels like Jokic doesn’t want to cement his MVP. Bro was being guarded by Eubanks and Thad Young, like bro takeover the game. The sequences where he kept passing it back to Gillespie for him to brick a 3 were infuriating man.

4. This was fugly.

   Surprised it was even remotely close. Looked like a totally different team.

   Next.

5. Very real possibility that Booth got all 3 drft picks wrong

6. Jokic was still +2 somehow, lmao

7. If you’re gonna attempt 40 three pointers in a game, you better hit more than 10 of them or you’re fucked. That’s 30 wasted shots. *Thirty*. If even half of those had been 2 point attempts instead on 43% shooting from the field that’s 12 more points.

8. If Jokic gonna play 41 then Porter should play more then 32?

   If not have them both play 30

   Just seems so little thought put into the rotation at times.

   It’s so obvious Braun should be the 1st sub

9. [deleted]

10. I have contracted Malonavirus.

11. Shoot 40 threes

    Make 10

    Lose

    Que sera sera, whatever will be will be

12. I’m bout to watch Vinland saga or berserk or something cause that’s the mood I’m in now

13. Glad Jokic got to practice some new passes today. 

    Hopefully he found new angles and schemes for the playoffs. 

14. Did Malone offer an explanation for that disaster of a lineup he threw out there during the 2nd quarter? Something like, “I lost my clipboard,” or “Miscommunication with the scorer’s table.”

15. Doomers out in full force tonight haven’t you guys learned anything from last year.

16. 2 most annoying losses of the season both against Phoenix at home S’ing my f’ing H

17. Aaron “Allen Iverson” Gordon isolation possessions annoy me

18. Reggie has got to go. He’s in his own little world

19. I love jokic but I’m not going to sit up and lie and say I haven’t found myself disappointed in him more than ever this season. He’s let the refs and physicality affect him the most ever in his career. He clearly feel he’s an NBA champion and deserved the calls this season and I agree but it’s thrown him off his game. It’s also been a good amount of nights against playoff teams in the west where he’s just like whatever, I’ll wait until the playoffs

20. Nuggs still in first and prioritizing health. Yes this game was annoying but there is zero reason to be bothered by tonight.

21. I’m just gonna say that Nuggets playoff basketball is a whole different beast. Minnesota knows this. Suns knows this. Lakers definitely knows this. People forget how bad our bench was last year too until the playoff roster got tighter and bench unit had our elite playmakers on the floor for 99% of the games.

    We are still in the 1 seed. Jamal was able to get extra rest. Jokic was trying to play make for his guys and the shots just didn’t fall through. One of those games. We move on to Minny where the stakes are higher.

22. I bet these trash Sons lose to the Thunder next game.

23. Ya boi played the under on Brad Beal getting 15.5 points 😎😎

24. what pissed me off the most was the fact that I know that we are much better than them yet we played a passive game and let the Suns control it from start to finish

25. We lost by 7 points with them going 50 percent from 3, and us going 10-40. Thats 30, THIRTY possessions where we came up empty handed. Jokic and everyone else played right into their hands instead of being aggressive, kicked out continuously all game. Sucks but its how it goes

26. Man we sucked. We most likely play them first rnd and I can see the suns sending us to Cancun.

27. Gillespie looks like a dwarf on the court

28. missing Brucey B big time 🙁
