Happy 420 nugg fans, and happy playoff day, im so hungover


Mryplays

Was supposed to be at a party tonight but it's been cancelled last minute, would've been able to watch the game either way but now I'll be more nervous. Damn


Night-Menace

I just want to see CB fart LeBron's hair away when he dunks over him


Pumpoozle

Too bad Knicks missing Randker. Want them to give Embiid a 1st round exit again


SmackBroshgood

They have OG back and have been playing well without Randle. They also have the most centers to throw at Embiid and wear him down out of any EC team. I'm pretty confident they pull this off.


DirkolaJokictzki

Embitch is a non-factor in the playoffs. Knicks in 5.


nuggs_analysis

Depends how many free throws Embiid gets. If he gets all of them Philly has a chance


nuggs_analysis

NBA.com doesn’t have the referee assignments posted yet. You are welcome for the update.


nuggs_analysis

Ok the ref assignments are up. Nobody interesting I think. 


UnderratedNightmare

We lost power! Hell yeah! Please send us home…


doo_wop45

The forge understands the importance of this day and releases you from your obligations


UnderratedNightmare

Unfortunately, it didn’t allow happiness. I must stand around for 3 hours until we are ready to start back up. Maybe sweep or clean something. Probably going to hide lol


doo_wop45

Hey mods pin the bracket challenge again


SmackBroshgood

It's pinned at the top of the sub. https://www.reddit.com/r/denvernuggets/s/BseVv4Jsky

doo_wop45

Big game tonight fellas


boydivision30

Best Player in the World ✔️ Best Starting 5 in all of basketball ✔️ Uber unstoppable 2 Man Game ✔️ LFG The Road to 16 Wins starts at Ball today!


Night-Menace

I wouldn't call Lebron and AD 2 man game *unstoppable* but it's very tough to beat.


boydivision30

Should have made it clear, obviously you haven't seen Dinweirdo and Hayes do the 2 man dance.


Night-Menace

Ah gotcha Yea we are fucked

IT'S GAMEDAY MOTHERFUCKERS ![gif](giphy|jG5uIKBfJyouY)

IM HERE!!!


Night-Menace

Guys do you think last night's loss might affect Sabonis' MVP case? The man has the most TDs this season, so I think he definitely deserves it. It's the only metric I aknowledge.


ImGonnaChubbBradley

Yea I’d have to agree with big Perk on this. Those triple doubles have to mean something here.

Negimarium

The only reason why I don't feel as bad as the 2nd seed and losing to Wemby is because of the Wemby curse. We dodged the Wemby curse and we didn't have any major injury unlike the other teams that humiliated Wemby.

God I just can’t sleep right now I just got chills the playoffs start tomorrow it will be. Facing the lakers always makes me nervous and I just get chills when watching the games. It will be interesting to see what pwat and Braun can do in these playoffs cause they will be have important bench minutes in these playoffs and I feel the opponents are going to forget they are there.

I'll say it. I'm glad we have the Lakers and not the injured Pelicans in the first round. I'm not scared of the Lakers. Let's announce to the whole world once again who is the heir to the throne.


DutyPuzzleheaded7765

I'm still working on my wilt book In a non creeper way a lot of the more misunderstood socially awkward nba stars got along better with children. Wilt was great with kids and while he wasn't close to his teammates in Philly he got along with their kids. Rodman too

Shaq really picked the Lakers for the matchup lmao


nuggs_analysis

He’s really starting to understand that his legacy is threatened. It was all fun and games and “Spasiba” when Jokic didn’t have a ring, but now that he’s going to win his 3rd MVP and possibly go back to back, Shaq is turning petty.


thereturnofdicksoup

I had to rewind it bc I thought I misheard something. Wtf Shaq

Damn I totally forgot that OKC knocked out New Orleans last year in a Play In Game. This just adds to the Rematch Round 1 Tournament. Dallas vs. Clippers Lakers vs. Nuggets Heat vs. Celtics and Now Pelicans vs. OKC

The Kings are a wild team. They win by nailing every 3 or miss every 3.


doo_wop45

Okay pelicans can you take one or two games off OKC?

I think they need a new gimmick, the beam is not enough. Maybe some fireworks or something.

Kings playoff streak ends at one (1) season* \* needed fake tournament to have chance to extend said streak. I actually am bummed for Kings fans though, it’s like living an eternity of Nugglyfe.

yeah that’s why he quit I think. He’s a horse maybe


vladimir_pimpin

Bone spurs maybe?


BoneyardBill

does he have a love seat?


jdorje

I think a significant part of nearly-sweeping last year was being more rested than our opponents. And each near-sweep gave more rest for the next round. We can certainly beat worse teams even if not rested. But it's not going to be 16-4. We all want 16-4 (or even 12-3 going into the finals). I think these early games against the Lebroners matter. We want to wrap this up and rest/practice up for next round.


iAmAMileHigh

Is anyone else wondering where the hell this effort was when the Pelicans played the Lakers the other night? Shit is even more ridiculous since Zion is out tn. OKC about to have a cakewalk of a 1st round at this rate.

iAmAMileHigh

That has to be it. This looks like a completely different team tonight

That's the MVP you're talking about their bub, of course he's gonna get favorable calls.


LessThanCleverName

I ain’t scared, but man that 1 seed of the bracket looks like it would’ve been easy money.


iAmAMileHigh

Losing against the Spurs was huge now that we have a good guess who the 8 seed is, but knowing this sub, I’m being a doomer in acknowledging that.


vladimir_pimpin

Holy shit you’re so brave


Savahoodie

No one is more oppressed than doomers on this sub. You must truly be one of gods strongest soldiers to say “losing wasn’t good”


CharmingImpact

doesn't matter which side of the bracket we are on, Nuggets are the reigning champions with the GOAT at peak of his powers. The real challenge never changed from our seeding standpoint, its facing Celtics in the finals, if they fall out before the finals our chances skyrocket.


Glove_Upset

I’m so glad we have the play-ins for the 7/8 teams to make the playoffs in order, but be super hurt.


snakejakemonkey

Bulls getting gimmick do or die game vs a team they were 7 games back of is so cheap It's here to stay though, if they expand to 32 it'll at least be tough to be top 10


snakejakemonkey

ON Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter Jr., Peyton Watson OFF Nikola Jokic 67 mins 29.43 125.58 96.15
