HAVE YOURSELF A DAY PWATT
Zeke did a solid job against Zion and still was -15. Just insane.
Golden era
Won by 7 but Zeke was -18, like wtf?
With a 125 to 118 win against the Pelicans Wednesday night, the Denver Nuggets have been eliminated from In-Season Cup contention
One of my least favorite things about NBA refs is that they intentionally alter the results of games (both outcome and spread).
Also a lot of them just look weird as fuck
people here before the game LMAO “Adelman using naji against a shitty team to bring his value up,smart move by adelman”
Adelina just said Zeke did a good job on Zion, clearly he must be dumber than everyone in this sub
All I got

Feels like good timing with the Houston game to see where we are.
Jonas with 2 net scorchers in a row at the most intense moment of the game really got me going.
But man, Queen was cooking. He will be a force to reckon with. Already is.
Zeke start learning Chinese buddy
We sleep walked into a victory this time. I hope team morale is fine and that the boys can lock in against the better teams.
Jokic got outscored and outrebounded by the same teammate, and it was Peyton Watson.
We might legitimately have in our roster the softest hands in NBA history in Jokic, and whatever is the opposite of that in Zeke. Jesus Christ how did his game fall off this 10000ft cliff😭
Cam has been great last couple games
Adelman GLAZING Zeke in the post game THATS MY COACH
Really tough game, but AG didnt play
Got to clean up a lot: turnovers, execution before Houston and the week ahead
A win is a win but that was an ugly game. Hard to feel great about playing the rockets after these last two games. Hopefully we look focused again.
Peyton Watson everyone.

Couldn’t catch the game, stuck at work late. How was Zeke’s +- that bad, considering Jok and Big Val played 50 minutes? I’m assuming they caught a few minutes together too and that Zeke was also on court with one of them?
Also, how were Fears and DQueen? I’m happy to see him being a starter and even getting 30 (while Nuggets still win)
I won’t say Jamal had a good game, but no AG and CB puts an obscene amout of ball handling pressure on Jamal. Shots weren’t falling and he was gassed at the end, but he handled pressure well and kept the ball moving.
It should be interesting to see the starters for Houston
My toxic trait is that I am a Nnaji fan despite his flaws just because I think he’s cute. But ooof, tonight was rough and I almost didn’t want to admit it to ya’ll. But this is a safe space right? 😅 But onto the good stuff, like Cam continuing to come out of his shell and obviously PWatt’s monster performance (sidenote, gd he has some people who overly hate on him in the game threads). I don’t enjoy seeing all of the sloppy ass turnovers and hope they nip that shit in the bud.
Here’s hoping we continue with these road wins!

Is there anything that they’re doing different with Cam? It seems like he’s settled in more the past two games.
To start the season I would have given PWat a 3% chance to have 30 in a game. After that awful 1st quarter I would have said about 0.3%. All the credit to him for sticking with it and really elevating his game tonight.
WE SURVIVED THE ZEKE TANK GAME
Who is D. Queen and how did he drop 30? lol
Jonas sealed the game with those 2 Middies ✊
Jamal murray is one of the worst contracts in the league.
Daily remind we may lose P watson because of zeke naji horrible contract 🙂
Kinda hilarious that Zeke at the end of his contract will not play in the NBA ever again.
Calvin Booth’s ego trip after the championship run is arguably the worst thing that happened in the Jokić era, even surpassing Jamal’s injury.
All I’m saying is that the Nuggets are undefeated this year when Zeke starts and closes games. #Facts!
A W in the non Jokic minutes 😍
Wins a win i guess …but sheesh.
Adelman liked the Zeke minutes
Nuggets 11-3 (2nd in West), sitting 3 games back of OKC. Thunder just don’t lose, lol. Can’t wait to play them.
I wonder if Zeke’s contract was Booth’s attempt at making Malone ragequit as coach.
