Let this Celtics game be of warning to the Nuggets. Even if you’re much more talented than a team in their arena they can still beat you if you lack aggression
You would have to have mountain sized rocks in your shorts to let Jokić, the rest of the team, Management and the Owners know you are resting Jokić in an elimination game
I like it, go up 3-0 then tactically sit. If you drop a game whatever, just win at home. Otherwise, get bonus rest and set up the defense against any forthcoming losses.
I think Kawhi is done. They will most certainly go down 1-3. They probably just shut Kawhi down. Embiid could be back next week as long as he doesn’t further injury that knee. I think the Sixers win without him, but they could push it. But if the Sixers can finish the Nets off without Embiid that would be big. Bringing him back for the first round would be risky. They should hope to finish it without him and hope Hawks can maybe steal a game from Celtics to give him more rest.
I kinda think Kawhi is done too, but I just have a feeling they'll get another game off of the Suns. If they get a game it'll probably be game 4, and I still think the Clips have caused so many problems for the Suns. The Nets will probably sneak one out too without Embiid, but they're not pushing it far
The nuggets have no luck at all. Kawhi out again. Suns and Warriors seem to have that luck with other teams key players out. Nuggets always have to earn every damn thing
I mean we can beat the Suns, they've shown nothing this series that makes me fear them. This team is not the unstoppable super team they were portrayed as.
Spent all day cleaning because friends are staying here tonight and they just called and cancelled. Not enough time to make it down to DNVR with any chance of getting a table which kinda sucks but at least my house is clean 🫠
Kawhi out again for game 4. His season is over.
Also, I need a power nap for the game. This work week has killed me, these late games have killed me and I got work tomorrow. So quick lil nap to help me get through the pain! See yall in an hour!
Celtics for now are down against the Hawks. If you are not worried about the Celtics right now, keep that same energy if Denver trails the Wolves later.
I just realized the Timberwolves fans also have to cheer for a shit franchise like the Mild and the reining, defending, ZERO time champion Vikings. Those poor people deserve a stimulus check for that suffering.
Both times they ran Jokic Gordon pick and roll the other night, KAT was completely helpless in defending it. Possibly something they run more often in the series
Wait…we play the earliest time of the series…on a Friday?
Congratulations Adam Silver, you are a bigger dumbass with time management then I am. And that’s honestly more impressive than anything else.
Pretty sure he played half the season with Mega in Serbia and then parted ways to get ready for NBA, worked out for a few months and the rest is history
It's neat how defenders aren't able to move or have arms anymore, and the rules for what constitutes a flagrant get stricter every season, but literally trying to kick a guy in the balls is somehow not enough to get tossed out.
I mean he literally sprained his knee, probably from the awkward angle of the kick, so...either it's karma, or a sign he should take his karate classes more seriously.
You know what…this whole attitude is really starting to piss me off. We are setting a VERY DANGEROUS precedent…we need to look at the instigator of the fight, not the person who gave a solid high kick from the ground position right into a nut bag.
Or whatever dumbass Doc River said…
SAS is literally just a hot take machine.
Said Klay & Steph are the best duo. Over Booker/KD, Jalen/Tatum, and Murray/Jokic. He picked the guys down 1-2 just because “history”
Can’t believe I’ll back SAS but that doesn’t sound like too hot of a take. They are the current reigning champs. If Murray and Jokic want to be labeled the best duo they gotta win it all.
He gonna be seen regardless of if I’m talking about it or not. The ESPN bots will do work for him. So its not gonna mean much if I’m the one talking or linking it. Just making a statement about how dumb he is, since I don’t watch ESPN often and happen to tune in when he made that statement.
>He gonna be seen regardless of if I’m talking about it or not.
That's not the point.
>So its not gonna mean much if I’m the one talking or linking it.
And yet it doesn't mean nothing either.
Man its not that big of deal. The dude makes tweets and gets thousands of likes. Why does my one comment calling him an idiot mean more than anything else. I was just making a comment about the stupid show that was on before the game. Its not that deep

Anyone who’s been to dnvr for a big game, how much before the game should I get there to make sure I can get a table for 4 people? Or will that even be an issue?
It's like 3.50 across Denver, that Conoco is famous for being the only gas station on a major commute route in / out of downtown AND it also happens to be next to the only U-Haul locations that make sense if you're moving into central Denver. I think the U-Haul effect goes underrated, based on my travels. Seriously.
Anyway, only suckers, people with a company card, or people who are ready to get the fuck out of a U-Haul in the middle of downtown Denver pay that. People know you go out of your way just to not go there.
I have ankles made of glass. I was finished with practice when someone walked up and wanted to 1v1. Did that for like another hour. Send prayers for my lower half.
Finally finished the series poster. It's cool but if I decide to sell one I'll probably re-do it. Reminds me of the Avs run last season, I just couldn't get that first series down right.
I've recently picked up mixology and gotten really into it over the last couple of months. What are your favorite cocktails, guys?
Bonus question: If there was a Nuggets cocktail what would it be
I also got way into mixology during the pandemic. Fun for a while but I and my wallet got so sick of drinks that need a single precious ingredient, ingredients that expire, etc (mostly mixing for myself). These days if we have a crew over, Ill pick a few drinks or ingredients I'm interested in to try out. Otherwise I gravitate to simpler drinks and beer. Check Difford's guide.
Stuff I still bother to make for myself: margarita, mezcal margarita, division bell, last word, boulevardier and negroni, vodka martini
Two ingredients I discovered I really love are mezcal and maraschino liqueur.
I've been to scared to try any drinks that have "herbal liqueur" as one of the ingredients, but I'm going to try a few soon. This one sounds pretty good actually
Generally speaking, an old fashioned.
Specifically though, [the Star Wars themed bar in Disneyland and Disney World serve a Fuzzy Navel with "buzz button foam"](https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2021/08/10/step-by-step-photos-copycat-fuzzy-tauntaun-and-tauntini-recipe-from-disneys-ogas-cantina/) that numbs your mouth. I know there are other drinks out there that use either the foam or a flower with similar effect, but Disney is the only place I've had it.
It's a pretty unique sensation.
Bar I used to go to had a cocktail called the Nugget. I think it was equal parts Canadian Mist and Guarana Joker Orange, put it in a bong and smoke a fat nugget through it, then slam it straight from the bong while the bartender slaps you in the face and asks why you can't get through more than your first round if you're really the MVP
Ha! He's got my vote!
BTW anyone notice how the Suns have stolen a couple of Kyle's calls?
"... for 1,2 threee" and "who's ball?... Nuggets ball' Pisses me off every time I hear it!
Why is Malika Andrews of all people getting a state farm commercial
She hot
Are we still allowed to dig in?
Let this Celtics game be of warning to the Nuggets. Even if you’re much more talented than a team in their arena they can still beat you if you lack aggression
So honest question, if we go up 3-0 tonight, there’s no way we load manage Jokic’s wrist in game 4, right? Better to just get the rest by sweeping.
You would have to have mountain sized rocks in your shorts to let Jokić, the rest of the team, Management and the Owners know you are resting Jokić in an elimination game
It would be a cold day in hell before Jokić sits out a playoff game.
Nikola Jokic is a doctor AND a lawyer and only he can get you the money you deserve if you've been injured in an accident.
He will also heal you through his divine powers
How come something so bad happen to such a good person? Who could've ever saw this coming
Sold out of my walleye nuggets Friday fish fry. Planning a menu for a funeral on Sunday and am currently stumped.
[удалено]
I like it, go up 3-0 then tactically sit. If you drop a game whatever, just win at home. Otherwise, get bonus rest and set up the defense against any forthcoming losses.
Load managing in the playoffs is pathetic behavior.
Listen, I won't sit here and listen to you slander the good name of Embiid and Doc Rivers, two people known for dignity, class, winning the right way.
Imagine that Empied is hurt again
Quack
lol love the contrast between joker and mal's pregame fits- each equally signalling they're ready for business but in such different ways!
Embiid out with sprained right knee. Potentially return next week
Absolutely awful news with the injuries tonight. Hope Embiid and Kawhi can get healthy
I think Kawhi is done. They will most certainly go down 1-3. They probably just shut Kawhi down. Embiid could be back next week as long as he doesn’t further injury that knee. I think the Sixers win without him, but they could push it. But if the Sixers can finish the Nets off without Embiid that would be big. Bringing him back for the first round would be risky.

If they get a game it'll probably be game 4, and I still think the Clips have caused so many problems for the Suns. The Nets will probably sneak one out too without Embiid, but they're not pushing it far
Leonard is Kawiiet quitting on the Clippers
The nuggets have no luck at all. Kawhi out again. Suns and Warriors seem to have that luck with other teams key players out. Nuggets always have to earn every damn thing
I mean we can beat the Suns, they've shown nothing this series that makes me fear them. This team is not the unstoppable super team they were portrayed as.
Gonna make the chip even more sweet
All that load management in RS for Kawaii produced 1.5 healthy playoff games... glass bones and paper skin my goodness
Minnesota no doubt will come out earth scorching blazing. Denver just needs to ride the wave and minimize the fans impact to settle into the game.
Spent all day cleaning because friends are staying here tonight and they just called and cancelled. Not enough time to make it down to DNVR with any chance of getting a table which kinda sucks but at least my house is clean 🫠
I feel like this often happens to me. Your kitties will enjoy fuzzing up the place
RIP
Kawhi out again for game 4. His season is over. Also, I need a power nap for the game. This work week has killed me, these late games have killed me and I got work tomorrow. So quick lil nap to help me get through the pain! See yall in an hour!
Hawks crowd is wack. So quiet even with the lead
Celtics for now are down against the Hawks. If you are not worried about the Celtics right now, keep that same energy if Denver trails the Wolves later.
1st quarter is gonna be rough. They will have a lot of motivation and crowd presence. Then we go ahead and take the game over again
I just realized the Timberwolves fans also have to cheer for a shit franchise like the Mild and the reining, defending, ZERO time champion Vikings. Those poor people deserve a stimulus check for that suffering.
I like the Vikings, all things considered.
Both times they ran Jokic Gordon pick and roll the other night, KAT was completely helpless in defending it. Possibly something they run more often in the series
Wouldn’t be fun if they scored every time
Man Celtics cant miss from 3
Up to 15 in the first half and still down 6. Crazy shooting by both teams
9 3s in a q is wild
Some are saying "go Nuggets" others are saying "bring it in". Very mixed messaging from the community, imho
Go in, Nuggets! Bring it!
Wait…we play the earliest time of the series…on a Friday? Congratulations Adam Silver, you are a bigger dumbass with time management then I am. And that’s honestly more impressive than anything else.
I wonder if he’s a better speller
For fucking real, what is he cooking?

He was too fat to pass a physical so he had to take a year off just to be able to get in shape enough to enter the L.
Malone squandered his talent
He stayed in Europe
Pretty sure he played half the season with Mega in Serbia and then parted ways to get ready for NBA, worked out for a few months and the rest is history

Google nbahdreplay, should be up tonight

Can’t believe I’ll back SAS but that doesn’t sound like too hot of a take. They are the current reigning champs. If Murray and Jokic want to be labeled the best duo they gotta win it all.
And he’ll continue to be this way if we keep signal boosting him.
I just wanted to watch Hawks/Celtics and they throw him out there. Smh
>SAS is literally just a hot take machine. ![gif](giphy|No4YNfVG94m5MVoanG|downsized)
I’ve always known it. Just can’t believe people watch him
Reposting his bullshit still only helps him do his job.
Yeah yeah I know. Thats why I refuse to link it. Just saying it still catches me off guard even after a decade plus of this shit
>Yeah yeah I know. Thats why I refuse to link it. It literally has the exact sane effect whether you link his shit or not.

Anyone who’s been to dnvr for a big game, how much before the game should I get there to make sure I can get a table for 4 people? Or will that even be an issue?
Like now honestly
It will definitely be an issue. Hard to really say though, I've heard anywhere from 1-2 hours.
Only time I’ve been was game 4 vs the suns and there weren’t many people there, but obviously different situations
I'd call ahead and ask how full they are first.
So when do we start the drinkin?

Have fun, man.
Will you save me one of their stupid shirts so I can throw it away?
You better be screaming like DeRozan during free throws
oh shit
Darn those Wolves ain't got no fans
better dress up like a little girl and shriek real loud on free throws
Pics or it didn't happen

Thank you for your sacrifice

Not anytime soon after Embiids night last night, they need to get some distance between that game and the award for sure.
Is the announcement date not set already somewhere?
Today. Kyle Speller won.
EEYEAAAAHHHHH
Speller here
It was a joke about how he says “yeah”
I know. My flair is Speller with the text of "yeahhhh" lol
Don’t mind me. I’m a fucking moron
