What’s going on with Watson? Bad timing if it’s an injury.
Melo. Great scorer. Not so great post game analyst.
Why are some fans saying this was rigged?
We lost 2 Center via foul out, how can they say that the ref are siding with us?
Didn’t get to watch this game but we somehow won despite Pwat only playing 5 minutes cause he got injured? That means we won without Pwat, AG and CB? Fucking insane lol.
Jokic and Murray are probably the most well-conditioned fat guys in the NBA.
Denver sports we’re having an incredible couple of days!
As a nuggets fan who just seriously respected sengun and I love the rockets I really do, I just can’t accept this win. I will be petitioning Adam Silver to relegate Denver to the g league
Rockets fans are so mad 😋😋😋

Jok and Mal man don’t take those two for granted
Anybody know how much this team can offer Spencer Jones?
Most importantly, Jokic tonight tied Raef LaFrentz for 8th place all time in blocks by a Nugget
Amen Tompson fucking blows btw lmao
Stephen Adams 0 rebounds is crazy tho
What happened with like a minute left in the second quarter? Was at the game, saw the whole Nuggets bench lose their shit at something, then a flood of security people on the floor and two techs on the rockets. Never got a replay or explanation
Benedetto says Adelman told the media that PWat had a “stinger, bone on bone” and “couldn’t get loose again. Nothing to be concerned about long term,” as far as he can tell.
Am I crazy for thinking we should explore the market for Cam and start Spenny at SF? I really like Cam, but Spencer is a better defender and I’m not sure the offensive fall off is that high…
Y’all can slap me if need be but I’m jUsT aSkiNg qUeStiOns.
I’m not seeing nearly enough hype about Zeke fucking Nnaji being a +5
Let’s hope PWat is short term
Hard fought win, proud of the team
Nuggets fan but that foul at the end of regular time was bs. Rockets deserved their win.
8-1 against 0.500+ teams and 11-5 against <0.500 teams.
[sucks for Rocket fans but this is clear as day](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/rDVvDerDPk)
Jamal Murray is the coolest player there is
Nuggets fan here: I think the rockets are just really cool and they worked so hard :^(
Do not go to r/nba lmao
I don’t know what the hell everyone is talking about. Peacock didn’t show the top angle of the trip, but I clearly saw the trip on one of their replays.
I can’t believe the Nuggets have Silver in their pocket. How can Wemby, the best player in the league, win his ethical MVPs now?
we got away with one, bout damn time
It’s impressive that, with a rookie coach, the team is going 19-6, without two top-tier starters. All the losses we suffered were, in quotes, losses. David brought the Denver playoff spirit to the regular season; especially with Jamal’s performances, and that’s a great achievement. Let the media talk about the other teams. Let the Nuggets be the ugly duckling. That’s how we like it.
Nuggets fan here, I feel so bad about winning a basketball game and I hope the rockets win the championship! Go rockstz!
Merry Jokmas Everyone! Dug up my first Jokic post I can find. 4 months before Jokmas: https://www.reddit.com/r/denvernuggets/comments/4yl440/reminder_jokic_taking_on_australia_at_400_mst/?ref=share&ref_source=link

Bruh we gotta get rockets fans some fortified bread or something, they’ve gotta have an iron deficiency causing their silliness or somethin
LMAO EZ win rockets are trash
Me to rockets fans in the pgt:

Rockets fan here! I have reason to believe the government has wiretapped my phone
sucks to have 2 starters injured and pwat today but hey, the very positive thing of that is the bench have more experience, playing big games like this and still winning, can not wait to see the full team healthy
Not now kitten, daddy needs to go to r nba to prostrate himself in front of the the rockets fans, I will come to bed in a moment
Release Tyson (lord knows nobody will trade for him) and give Spence the big boi contract.
Was at the game tonight- AMAZING GAME!!! One of the best I’ve been to!

Hi just got back from the game and wanted to let you all know that I was the one who told Zach Zarba to call that foul on Thompson. It felt a bit bad to dishonor the game of basketball but it was nice to finally see a home nuggets win.
Reed Sheppard has also been making me look bad this season because I called him a bust last season and all preseason. He’s looking pretty decent.
Last time we played Houston I got drunk and made a hundred of these lmao
I downloaded the license plate font so I could stick em on tourists trucks plates

Finally the sky cam does something useful
Man a lot of people don’t know the rule for away from the ball fouls prior to an inbound.
I introduce to you: The Spenny
