Nice to get back in the win column. Really worried about Jamal.
This game further proved that the team most capable of beating us is ourselves. If our team plays together with intensity we’re very good.
8 players in double figures. Everyone who scored was in double figures and shot more than 50% from the field. Incredible team offense, and we finally decided to play defense in the 4th quarter.
What am I hearing about our all star Jamal ? What happened
#NEVER DOUBTED IT
jamal is fine guys, hes just gonna let people bet on how long hes gonna be out, then come out unfazed and announce hes partnering with kalshi


Does it not feel like we go on a long road trip with back to backs and crazy shit, get 1-2 games at home and then we are back on another road trip or is it just me?
Cam a +21 on his 1st night back. Glad to have him back Braun was also +20
Obviously the Bulls are trash, but Nuggs had a few stretches in this game where they looked like what we expect them to be. Jokic and CB looked more comfortable as the game went on. Cam looked better then I thought he would after missing so much time.
As long as Jamal is ok, this was a step in the right direction
Muh thoughts
– I think Strawther keeps starting (over Spencer) to keep his momentum and offense going. He’s playing well on both ends at the moment and feels like one of the few players that actually closes out on 3pt shooters and doesn’t unnecessarily cheat into the paint.
– More and more I want Lonzo Ball, better than Pickett and should be better at guarding the perimeter than most our guards.
– Don’t need Cam Thomas especially with Strawther stepping up.
– Boucher is my second preference to Ball
I looked away for the last minute or so did it seem like Jamal was actually injured or just did something that hurt?
But Jamal got injured now. Looks like hospital nuggets is playing rest of the regular season.
On the bright side this game shows why Cam is indispensable for this team
Jokic with a +36 lol
I hope Murray’s okay
Tim Hardenway Jr with 12 FTAs I LIKE THAT (make them next time)
Julian’s been on a tear the last few games.
I am not a religious person nor have I been to church in years but you know what I’m considering going just to say a little prayer for this team. Maybe that will stop their injuries. I’ll also try an Etsy witch just to have all my bases covered
Bulls trade team was motivated they were hustling for every ball , and shooting great from 3pt but Nuggets quality came up in 4th , a good win .
Was at the game, Bruce’s defensive intensity was insane
Jok with 4 blocks tonight

125m to have no halfcourt offense outside of the occasional cut and OREB my goodness
IMO, seemed like Jokic trusted his knee in the 2nd half vs very hesitant to test it in the 1st. Definitely more physical and looking to go inside as the game went on
Bruce Brown will continue to be the guy where if you think he’s bad or he doesn’t do anything or whatever it’s just a clear indicator of you not knowing any ball at all lol

Me reading doomer comments after a Nuggets win
Adelman said that Jamal had a hip thing, but feels that he’s all good.
Jokic MVP still on the menu
How does big val hey 3 or 5 fouls every game in less than 15 minutes.
Pathetic FT%.
Missing 11 free throws can cost you a game. There were even times where both free throws were missed.
Against a good team, that’s suicide. Imagine a sequence where you Miss two at the line, opponents hit a three on the other end — that’s a direct five-point swing.
Not making those FTs is likr you’re essentially handing the opponent an 11–0 run at the 0:01 mark of the 4th quarter.
Big sigh of relief regarding Jamal

Jimmy Larden in a Calves jersey looks weird af Im ngl lol
With guys coming back, BB seems to be playing better. Gets to be the spark off the bench while playing solid D.
Good news from Adelman
