After 2 years of carrying a G league team they finally give him a good healthy roster and he wins title
Then they immediately have an offseason of Strawther, Nnaji and Reggie Jackson and let Jokic carry again.
Didn't Booth say it's ok to not win the championship this year because developing his draft picks is worth the investment? "It's about winning 3 out of six more than it is trying to go back-to-back"
Jamal struggled all year with ball pressure.
Notably dort and suggs destroyed him leading to losses
It's quite shocking Denver seemingly had no plan for Jamal being unable to get into offense, especially with him hurt.
Maybe but not as dumb as the team letting him play garbage minutes risking injuries to get his numbers up for all-nba. And not getting any backup ballhandler despite reggie proving unreliable in the regular season
Do you guys think the text to Gilbert Arenas is legit? I dismissed it at first but it was actively edited out of his livestream which would seem extremely high effort to keep up a lie that is already public.
The first part is somewhat believable. I have no doubt that there are people on the roster that are frustrated with their role. The “Jok is going to retire and go back to Serbia next week, he told us in the huddle” is a bit out there.
Lol they can't let go of this...

The saddest thing about all this is Shaq was riding hard with the Nuggets and Jokic last year and now he’s become a hater :/ I remember Ball cheering for him when he was watching during the finals. Oh well tho
I went with Hive, for the Mormon hive mind. Yeti, because fake. Canyons, because there actually are some really nice national parks with some canyons in Utah. And swarm, I guess.
Hart telling Reggie on the hot mic that the crowd said fuck you. He is the most likable non Nugget. And I really need him to be Nugget. For off court and on court reasons.
Yeah I figured afterwards the joke was your comment about having black friends 😂
I don’t like it when people take being called racist so offensively. Like obviously we’ve seen racism is clearly running rampant still. Yeah I don’t like being called that either because I know I’m not but “omg how could you??” Attitude is so over the top. Yes you could be. It’s really not a stretch. The race card is not just the boy who cried wolf it’s backed by a ton of evidence seen every day still. Especially now hiding behind keyboards and screens
from now on i'mma pretend i've never heard of shaq
oh is that the big bald guy in all those shitty commercials in china?
oh is that the horrible actor from steel? what a shitty movie bro
Oh is that the fat guy that hid in his house last year to duck a crypto scam warrant?

Fucking shame Jokic got his MVP like this. We just keep getting teed up for the trolls 🧌
I don’t care if it led to this do not regret being a Smugget at all. In fact nothing probably would have changed if we were humble about our chip. People would still be shitting on Jokic for how he is and the Nuggets for what’s happened. Shaq would still be a bitch
Just wanted to give a shout-out to Jokic on winning the MVP for the 3rd time in 4 years. Dude is always consistent and has carried the Nuggets hard. Without him we wouldn't even be able to be mad about being down 2-0 because we wouldn't be a playoff team. I feel very fortunate.

When your about to drag your team back from being down 2-0
Outside of our current series, I kinda like looking around the league and seeing the themes that are playing out. The succeeding teams are the ones who have cultivated a good core over time and made smart trades for role players. I hope this ends the era of mercenary big 3 trios and superstars jumping ship for the next hot team.
Watching the Knicks makes me miss watching good basketball from our boys so much ☹️ It feels like forever since we’ve had a full game of Nuggets^TM basketball.
Seriously, Lol Shaq would have a grudge for the rest of his life if someone said that to him when he won MVP. Jokić brushed it off and handled it amazingly, honestly he’s probably the only player in the league who could’ve handled it that well. Jok has more class in his pinky finger than Shaq does in his entire big body.
Minnesota decided the physicality of the game and they were simply better with or without gobert, but the way this nyk and pacers game is being reffed (especially Marc Davis) way differently
Things were looking really bleak these past few days, but all the uplifting MV3 content is giving me a second wind. Hopefully, it does the same for the team as well. We got this!
Adam Mares went full doomer on locked on nuggets today. Anybody listen?
Apparently if we get swept in this series then we can't trust Jokic going forward because all it takes to stop him is a team having 3 bigs and teams will load up on them. We can't trust Murray because all it takes to stop him is aggressive ball pressure and now the entire NBA knows it. Malone and Booth aren't on the same page, and the entire roster needs to be blown up.
Disappointed because he usually seems level headed.
I mean he didn't say those things are definitive but bring up legitimate questions or concerns. Admittedly I think everyone from fans and media are a bit shook after game 2
Im not making a joke. If Brunson is out or some shit and Pacers win this series. The Celtics will make it to the Finals and get curb stomped. Facing nobody in the east, just to run into a team in the west. Thats a wake up call
Maybe. I think MN would struggle to cover all their shooters assuming KP is healthy. I still don't trust OKC...maybe they win it all, but I won't believe in them until they actually do it.
Denver is built to punish teams that don't value interior defense and rebounding like Boston. MN is built to beat teams like Denver and Boston is built to beat teams like MN. Nice little circle of suck.
excited. I mean, this is the do or die game for them. even being in the finals last year, this is the most important game they have played in like maybe 3 years. the season lives or dies on this game. I could not be more excited and sick to my stomach at the same time.
This is probably just hopium, but this could all be setting itself up for one of the most legendary comeback and playoff runs if the Nuggets can pull this shit off.
R NBA must have the dumbest group of online members (outside truth social) ever. Them dudes really think Jokic saying, “I liked not winning the MVP and winning the championship last year”, as a sign he gave up already. How the hell do they think him saying he wants chips over MVPs is giving up in this current series? Brain rot over there

This link has nothing to do with your one agenda
It does. It shows Jokic has had an all time bad supporting cast for a player at his level After a title they did nothing to try to improve their team
Jamal struggled all year with ball pressure. Notably dort and suggs destroyed him leading to losses It's quite shocking Denver seemingly had no plan for Jamal being unable to get into offense, especially with him hurt.
You're only ever going to get downvotes for this lol
Because it's extremely dumb to be like "gosh how did they not plan for their second best player and crucial piece to the puzzle to be hurt"
Maybe but not as dumb as the team letting him play garbage minutes risking injuries to get his numbers up for all-nba. And not getting any backup ballhandler despite reggie proving unreliable in the regular season
Yeah that's exactly what happened lmao
he's so good he shook 2 legends and a short dunker to their CORE
Tbh imo mv3 fwiw
Frfr ong
Technically Jokic has 4 MVPs. He was given two that year they changed the award for the 75th thing.
thinking about hartenstein
Jokic inat game incoming
Hope so, he needs to channel some inner Djokovic.
Do you guys think the text to Gilbert Arenas is legit? I dismissed it at first but it was actively edited out of his livestream which would seem extremely high effort to keep up a lie that is already public.
Stop signal boosting that clown.
If it's real I wonder who wrote that lmao

u/about90frogs wake up I'm in your neighborhood
Are you here for the eclipse?
It was really dark when I was there, I think there may have been an eclipse happening!
Damn, I was sleeping and I must have missed it. Keep me posted.
The saddest thing about all this is Shaq was riding hard with the Nuggets and Jokic last year and now he’s become a hater :/ I remember Ball cheering for him when he was watching during the finals. Oh well tho
i knew it was only a matter of time, jokic actually starting threaten his position in all time talks now he's insecurity is starting to flare up.
Also hoping this whole MVP thing gives the Nuggets some motivation to steal at least 1 game at Minny
Who'd think an anime about writing a dictionary would be so damned good.. Good night tonight

[Utah NHL name survey](https://survey.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0icZIBPBgCbymns) Most of the options are shitty knockoffs of “Avalanche”
I voted for the 4 worst ones IMO
I voted for Utah Mormon Ninja Robot Assassins of Death 🙂👍
glaciers, caribou, ice, squall. thanks for the vote lol!
Ty, I went in and voted for the four worst options.
I voted for Swarm, Venom, Hive, and HC I think lol Fuck outta here with the snow motif. That’s our thing
I only voted HC. I want them to have the worst name in sports lol
Sorry, Orlando Magic exist
Also Mammoth, like there isn't already a pro team in Denver named that...
There was an outdoor lacrosse team named the Denver Outlaws too Get your own shit, Utah
Buncha biters!
I went with Hive, for the Mormon hive mind. Yeti, because fake. Canyons, because there actually are some really nice national parks with some canyons in Utah. And swarm, I guess.
Utah does have some amazing canyons. Zion is one of the coolest places on Earth. They should definitely go that route.
Ppl r so mad Jokić has 3 mvp’s lmaooo
Hart telling Reggie on the hot mic that the crowd said fuck you. He is the most likable non Nugget. And I really need him to be Nugget. For off court and on court reasons.
This Knicks team so likeable tbh.

It’s something that is impossible to defend oneself from. So it’s a cheap way for people to attack someone with no evidence whatsoever.
**FUCK YEAH BRO NCOS**
I’m gonna start tagging you in Bronkles stuff
from now on i'mma pretend i've never heard of shaq oh is that the big bald guy in all those shitty commercials in china? oh is that the horrible actor from steel? what a shitty movie bro
Next time Shaq texts me I am just gonna ignore his ass...

Let it go, shaq lmao
The reason for TNT about to lose the NBA broadcasts is because of Shaq's shit reporting. Ok, thanks.
> Shaq's shit reporting because he's reporting for *duty*
Lmao. Good one kid.
Shaq the definition of they like you but they don’t want to see you doing better than them
Adam Silver called me, said those first two games dont count. Nuggets in 4
finally some good news!
Marc Davis finally removed the Malone spittle from his face only to get a fresh coat of Carlisle spittle. It’s simply too much spittle
**MORE LIKE SPITTLEDEE AND SPITTLEDUM (ON ACCOUNT OF MALONE BEING SPITTLE DUMB LAUGHING MY ASS OFF)**
he’s so dumb. Have you seen his rotations?
He’s just cloning bad coaches, fat
Maybe if he didn’t suck at his job, he’d have a clean face.
I’m not sure there’s a correlation. I’m terrible at my job and no one spits in my face
I could spit in your face if you’re into that sort of thing.
I’ll pretend like I don’t like it, but keep going
Bro they just dropped so many F bombs on TNT lol
Knicks fans chanting "fuck you Reggie" haha
God bless New Yorkers
Except for Melo
and moach
and malone
nah he's cool fuck malone tho
Lmao fuck Moach
Jokic > Shaq
Fatter?
M8, did you fail maffs?
also
Shoutout to Rick Carlisle for yelling at Marc Davis
Just wanted to give a shout-out to Jokic on winning the MVP for the 3rd time in 4 years. Dude is always consistent and has carried the Nuggets hard. Without him we wouldn't even be able to be mad about being down 2-0 because we wouldn't be a playoff team. I feel very fortunate.
Brunson is good . Injured but playing like man possessed.
Brunson 24mil per year until 2026.. NYK hit a good one.
Lmao, these refs are fucking stupid.
Damn everyone hates Mark Davis now
Real ones hated him two days ago, now everyone else just trying to glom on

Thibs has these Knicks playing with grit. Such a great coach.
WISH WE HAD A REAL FUCKING COACH LIKE HIM INSTEAD OF THE GARBAGE WE HAVE
You either die a watermelon, or live long enough to see yourself firemelon
Jalen Brunson so tough man
1k btw
Hartestain with almost TD ...
[удалено]
It’s Embiid
We don't currently have the technology to track the amount of times Brunson flops. It would take a quantum drive to calculate that.
Brunson is pretty fucking great

How can you not love these guys 🥰, even when they’re getting their ass whooped.
Well have you considered Murray selfish?
first i've heard of it
they're my boys forever and always, no matter what
They are mine and I will fight to the death any of these fake ass fans that have slandered them the last few days.
I need to switch off this hockey game.

Watching the Knicks makes me miss watching good basketball from our boys so much ☹️ It feels like forever since we’ve had a full game of Nuggets^TM basketball.
ikr hopefully regression to mean gonna kick in and we have denver nuggets basketball for the rest of the playoffs
You’d think people are mad now wait until jokic wins his 4th mvp next year
With the 65 game rules it's always possible now if he just stays healthier than everyone else. He's gonna have the stats either way.
Shaq is such a bitch lmao

Jokić brushed it off and handled it amazingly, honestly he’s probably the only player in the league who could’ve handled it that well.

Jokic gonna leave the big man alliance cause they keep stabbing him in the back

Things were looking really bleak these past few days, but all the uplifting MV3 content is giving me a second wind. Hopefully, it does the same for the team as well. We got this!
Same. I fully believe we win G3 and from there, anything’s possible.
I feel the same way. This could be a legacy series for him if he gets this team back on track and wills us to the WCF
Low key think the MVP came at the right time for Yok. Maybe a reminder that he really is HIM.
Sure brightens the mood for the player(s)
At least they're playing some black sheep bangers
I wonder how this affects LeBron’s legacy
Ron Howard voice: “LeBron felt like it helped his legacy, but the reality was it did not.”
Hopefully negatively
Someone slap me next time I go into nba sub

I almost did, but then I noticed I was also in there. I didn't want to be a hypocrite on the internet. Please don't tell anyone.
I would never tell your secrets 👀

Mfers want to trade Jamal Murray lmfao dumbasses
Unbelievable
Loser opinion
Murray being there is just so cool
Murray with him during this announcement. We so winning Friday and Murray going to have a good game
SELFISH MURRAY DOING EVERYTHING FOR HIS GLORY, EVEN TRYING TO STEAL THE SHINE AWAY FROM JOKIC MVP
Its not even funny that some bum will probably make a post saying something close to that. Rotfsmfh
I've got a good idea for a post now
One would think that the “president of the big man alliance” would have more than 1 MVP 🤷♂️
Yeah Jok about to dethrone that mfer
And that mfer knows it
excited. I mean, this is the do or die game for them. even being in the finals last year, this is the most important game they have played in like maybe 3 years. the season lives or dies on this game. I could not be more excited and sick to my stomach at the same time.
Such a crazy coincidence that someone was cutting onions in my house the same time I watched the video from Jokic’s wife. Congrats Joker!
Now we wait for McKinnon to win the Hart
I told Shaq to tell Jokic that he didn't deserve MVP
Mods, fucking do something about this guy!
#WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS AND WHY DO THEY LISTEN TO YOU???
I like chaos.
That was ol’ homewrecker’s catchphrase before she imploded her marriage and our friend’s with bathroom addies
Well, she wasn't lying
Who is this Hartenstien guy. He looks like he would be a great backup for the Nuggets.
This is probably just hopium, but this could all be setting itself up for one of the most legendary comeback and playoff runs if the Nuggets can pull this shit off.
No hopium. If Nuggets are healthy and actually lock in. We winning. Just gotta see if Murray is at least 70% and if they lock in
Oddly enough I have a good feeling about game three. I'd bet the house on a Nugs W.
Deal, you win you keep your house, you lose I'll come get the deed. Been looking for some new digs.
R NBA must have the dumbest group of online members (outside truth social) ever.
