1. That was such an obvious reach there

2. I mean we gotta lead the league in 3 point fouls

3. It’s so obvious when Harden is looking for a foul. You gotta keep the hands back.

4. Hopefully Jok finds a better rhythm in the 2nd half. I wouldn’t say he is playing lazy, but just out of sorts

5. Harden and SGA both play like pussies

6. Please try to score more Jokic, goddamn.

7. Need more of that from Jok, they just can’t stop him

8. Every night when I’m in my room all alone I like to get on my knees, put hands together and open my mouth to thank god James Harden has never won anything meaningful in his career.

9. Julian cmon you gotta know harden by now, don’t go near him 

10. Jim Harden plays like a traffic cop bro i cant respect this clown out there looking to write citations get a bucker you shitbag

11. I’m starting to see “Julian Strawther shooting foul” in my dreams.

12. Good defense on that last possession

13. Strawther’s rebounding has improved dramatically

14. The thing about Strawther revival is we really needed someone to step up. Great to see.

15. Pleasantly surprise that the Cavs only scored 54 at the half

16. lol the Wolves fighting too, today is WWE day

17. You know the “jack ass” guy from Happy Gilmore? We should hire a guy like that who yells “fat ass” every time Harden shoots.

18. watching this team play good defense brings tears of joy to my eyes

19. Jokic ain’t trying today but still up 5 lol

20. I hope Harden heard me yell that he’s weak and it wrecks his soul for the rest of the game.

21. This Cavs team is soft inside with Mobley out

    They have no other size other than Bryant.

    Sad denver playing so small

22. Julian on the run!!!

23. Nuggs have shown a few dominate stretches with their starters, but then the rust and some funky lineups kill the momentum. Overall, solid half as Nuggs win both quarters, but could have been more

24. Val redemption game we out here!!!

25. 4 point lead with a Jokic passive gimmick featuring turnovers and Jamal laying bricks all 1H we move

26. For those complaining about some of the lineups…DA doesn’t have many options. Jokic, CB and Cam are all on a minutes restriction. Jamal is a bit banged up. That means we are gonna see some Pick-Bruce-Julian-JV lineups that don’t really work. Just gotta be patient until after ASG

27. Watching big Val is how you add 35 grams to your protein bowl

28. Cam & Julian looking great just like last game. Val was also only a -2 which is a major improvement from last game.

30. Hornets and Pistons had a fight lmao. Figures

31. I’m not a fan of only giving Jokic 2 mins at the end of the half. Need to end with at least 5 mins to go on a late run heading into the break

32. Hornets winning the east, can’t be denied. They ended their 9 game win streak but only because it turned into UFC match

33. In the least shocking turn of events, Christian Braun, the nuggets only true defensive ace available for tonights game, is sitting at a comfortable +15 in the first half. Just imagine if they had any of the other 3 defensive guys available.

34. Cannot wait till we have CB, Pwatt and AG out there on defense.

    Hell, we could even through Nnaji in that rotation. Who’s gonna score on us? Only Jesus himself could score on that lineup.
