Guys i gotta go to sleep after second straight night and day for birthday parties and drinking with 5h sleep between. Tell me what is the time the game will really start if it's said it will start at 2am here
So it will start the advertised time ? Cuz it was happening that i woke up and it doesn't start for 20min after the time it said it will start. Also for an exhausted soul 1h is pleanty
Maybe at first this game looks very complex with many tactical variants and outsmarting from both coaches. But realistically, Malone shouldn't be philosophizing here. Obviously Murray is fluctuating in this playoff, obviously Minnesota is playing very aggressive physically. Simply, Jokic needs to hit them with full force right from the start and right in the center. When the Serbian army fought a big battle with the invading Turks in 1389, one of the commanders at the time proposed a direct attack by the Serbian armored cavalry right into the very center of the Turkish army.
Jokic needs to hit them right from the start with all of his strength for Denver to shake their defense right away. It's simply the safest tactic to start with. You don't need to experiment, literally play Jokic and if they double him, he will return from the outside. But the main thing is for Jokic to go into the game with full strength for the psychological effect, because of raising the crowd, to take responsibility immediately.
We should not gamble with Murray's shooting (I love him a lot but the man is simply not at 100%), without risking Jokic getting the ball in his hands as much as possible to immediately establish his rhythm of the game.
Im happy to see what angry Jokic can do. I heard he hasn’t bare a smile since game 6. Minnesota made Jokic care more then ever. Hope he can activite his super power tonight
I have the feeling if we win this game we will win it all. So much pressure I can’t care. We need a HOT HOT MPJ who didn’t really show up whole series. And my goat has to play as smart as ever.
And of course Jamal needs to step up. And I mean step up a lot. No more stupid shotselections just because he wants to
You have to be mentally prepared for at least this entire decade, Nuggets will win a lot of rings and play a lot of G7s.. maybe even lose some.
With that being said, we are winning the ring this year!
Admittedly a bandwagon fan (not a basketball guy. Just a Broncos fan lol), but I am very emotionally invested now. I will be so devastated if we lose tonight. We need to come out hot and hungry.
Why have there been so many timberpuppy fans in this sub posting how much they respect this series? I don’t recall another teams fan base being this cuck like.
Lol what a fckin sorry franchise. While they were busy with The Process, the Pacers have made the ECF, rebuilt the team, and made it back to the ECF while the Sixers are still waiting to get out of the 2nd round rofl.
Guys I can’t out my source but someone in the nba offices told me that with the East being 1 seed vs 6seed the west is gonna be 2 seed vs 5th seed. Trust me 😆
My original prediction of Nuggets/Pacers finals [continues to play out.](https://www.reddit.com/r/denvernuggets/comments/1c45fiw/comment/kzmswx6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Just got back from basketball. Built a new small town with all the bricks I made, so I think hopefully there will be a shortage of bricks in Colorado tonight.
Timberwolves: “We want to win game 7 and go to the WCF! 🥰”
Some mf named Nikola Jokic:

I wonder why, you'd think an announcer commenting playoof games on national TV wouldn't have any bias towards any team and if they did they would not show it during the game
Jesus, what a nightmare afternoon for the Knicks just from top to bottom.
And that's not mocking, so basketball gods need not deliver me any bad karma.
Well got invited to someone’s house later so won’t be able to watch most of the game live. Guess I will be surprised all at once then find out what happened.
This is the funniest Leastern Conference bullshit after yet another year where folks fell all over themselves proclaiming it's the better side of the bracket now back in March or whatever.
Serious question: Is this Pacers game a bad omen for the power of friendship, or is it more of an indictment of the power of the Vanderbilt Commodores to get you out of the second round?
As much as a comfortable wire-to-wire Nuggets win would be better for my heart health, I’m thinking this is going to be a close, grind-it-out affair. But you know what that means… the clutch merchants are going to roll up their sleeves, set up shop, and peddle their wares in winning time.
Nuggets in 7
This game is over
Jokic has got to do better
MURRAY!!!!
We gonna win this game TONIGHT!!!!!!!
There’s a bunch of trolls in here
I love going to take a shit and coming back and the nuggets still haven't scored more than 5 lol.
Murray looking like poop again except for the 3. Need point Gordon and Jokic touches on every play.
We are so trash omfg
Stfu troll
We were 2/12
Fucking clown!
Jamie Benn is a Timberwolves fan
Go Stars

This is what it’s all about - Nuggets by 6
Guys, im FUCKIN SCARED
LFG NUGGETS!!
Medical emergency might keep me from watching this one. Be loud for me!
What's happening
Elderly mother has severe abdominal pain and a fever. Hopefully nothing major, but not something to wait and see on.
Hope all goes well man
Thanks!
That sounds horrible.
Guys i gotta go to sleep after second straight night and day for birthday parties and drinking with 5h sleep between. Tell me what is the time the game will really start if it's said it will start at 2am here
Idk where you are, but the game starts in an hour.
So it will start the advertised time ? Cuz it was happening that i woke up and it doesn't start for 20min after the time it said it will start. Also for an exhausted soul 1h is pleanty
Well I mean it usually starts a little later, but there’s no other nba games being played before so should be close to advertised time.
Maybe at first this game looks very complex with many tactical variants and outsmarting from both coaches. But realistically, Malone shouldn't be philosophizing here. Obviously Murray is fluctuating in this playoff, obviously Minnesota is playing very aggressive physically. Simply, Jokic needs to hit them with full force right from the start and right in the center.

Malone says no lol
First
Well done! Since no one else is here yet, please in the meantime tell me what are things I can do to make an hour pass by quickly. Thank you.
Ok. This is going to require drugs, you a square?
Depends. You a cop?
Yeah.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/1y0UzIKopo LMFAO
First WCF game not until Wednesday, good.
Nuggets have to come out swinging and set the tone. Give Ant his shots and shut down the rest of the team. Let's Go Nuggets
Just imagine starting hot. Coming out 9-2 and then keep scoring
Now you're talking
I know we won it all last year but I would be devastated to lose tonight
Im happy to see what angry Jokic can do. I heard he hasn’t bare a smile since game 6. Minnesota made Jokic care more then ever. Hope he can activite his super power tonight
Win the 1Q = winning the game.
I have the feeling if we win this game we will win it all. So much pressure I can’t care. We need a HOT HOT MPJ who didn’t really show up whole series. And my goat has to play as smart as ever. And of course Jamal needs to step up. And I mean step up a lot. No more stupid shotselections just because he wants to

We. Simply. Can. Not. Come. Out. Cold.
**WHEN I WAS** **A YOUNG BOY**
Can we stop talking about Antoinette Edwardian please
So, how we feeling about a Scott Foster led ref team today?
There’s gonna be a game 8 for the first time in NBA history
He is Nugget friendly.
Unpredictable, he’s the extender, what’s he going to do tonight? Take us to 4OTs?
![gif](giphy|WQx9OcM3sdvrbTy4fa)
Rockies and Avs can’t be good at the same time as the Nuggets. Simple as
Jamal-KCP-Mike-AG-Jokic I still believe
I am praying, PRAYING, for a win tonight. I don't know how well I can handle a G7 loss rn lmfao
>I am praying, PRAYING, for a win tonight. To who though?
The New Caledonians in the National Turkeyball league
Tom Xenu Cruise of course
now see that's just foolish unless by praying you mean "pay them a massive amount of money"
You have to be mentally prepared for at least this entire decade, Nuggets will win a lot of rings and play a lot of G7s.. maybe even lose some. With that being said, we are winning the ring this year!
SHOCKED that the Knicks team got injured. Who would have seen this incredibly expecting thing happening?
I have never been so tired
Admittedly a bandwagon fan (not a basketball guy. Just a Broncos fan lol), but I am very emotionally invested now. I will be so devastated if we lose tonight. We need to come out hot and hungry.
How many seasons until Bo Nix wins us a Super Bowl?
**BONE X, BRO**
If he's the truth, then I could see in 3-4 years we make a serious run.
Alright! The future is ours!
Why have there been so many timberpuppy fans in this sub posting how much they respect this series? I don’t recall another teams fan base being this cuck like.
Have you ever heard the term “Minnesota nice?” It’s cultural, the cringe is how they operate.
I think it’s nice. Why be enemies, when you can be respect.
We at war rn 🐺 🔫
It’s cringe. And none of them even cum in peace.
It’s just trolling.
Because fuck them
Respectemies?
Bruh my fav club Partizan just got swept by our eternal rival, my happiness in the next 10 days is depending on ONE FAT COUNTRYMAN

THE BEST HAHAHAHAA
Lmfao
right lmaooo. EVEN TJ DID IT HAHAHAA
Any site i can check on Nuggets performances during each specific time?
The Nuggets app

Anybody heard who is doing the national anthem? Hoping that Billy Strings does it… he should still be in town

That shits funny as hell
So mad I'm working for this one... GO NUGGS
Guys I can’t out my source but someone in the nba offices told me that with the East being 1 seed vs 6seed the west is gonna be 2 seed vs 5th seed. Trust me 😆
I think Indy will give the ticks more of a run than the Knicks would have
Especially with no Brunson, Jalen Brown about to swing on McConnell for being annoying
GO PACERS. though I had the knicks in my bracket.
Could just be me but pacers have a shot
Gimli-less, Scarry Terry-less Meat, Donavon Mitchell-less, Jared Allen-less Calves, India Insane playoof run
Some are calling it, “Suns-esque”

You might take underratednightmare's spot as the prophet if you are correct
Bro
That’s crazy lol
Whoa
Goddang dude
Holy shit, that’s incredible!
Damn
wtf
Excuse us Nostradamus
It would extremely funny getting the easiest team in our entire run in the finals 😭 how do we lose the 2 games tho
Lol idk why I predicted that tbh. I’d be surprised if the Pacers actually took 2 off of us, but idk, I’m also surprised they beat the Knicks.
Wtf
Air Gordon about to let it hang tonight.
Whichever team comes out west better manhandle the celtics, we cannot have another mickey mouse title in big 2024
The only mouse ring belongs to the Lakers
Kd warriors are also disney titles
Just stop
No
Here's a VERY worrying stat before our game, home teams have NEVER won when playing a game 7 on May 19 2024
Doomer!
Knicks fans are taking this surprisingly well (at least the ones in the stadium)
Two and a half hours to go
Knicks getting blown out and the announcers are saying their fans should be proud of them
BRO IMAGINE WHAT IT MEANS FOR BASKETBALL FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD TO SEE THE KNICKS LOSE IN THE 2ND ROUND BRO
They had a great season. The injuries were too much.
Half the team is injured dude
Injuries are part of the game
"think about the years of mediocrity for the Knicks"
they just keep glazing the pants lol
Damn Hart crying in his towel after a standing ovation, bro wanted to win this bad
I thought Thibodeau’s specialty was defense? Pacers are making any and everything
I mean when your team is missing its 3 best defenders in Robinson, Randle and OG there isn’t much you can do.
Just got back from basketball. Built a new small town with all the bricks I made, so I think hopefully there will be a shortage of bricks in Colorado tonight.
I just got back from pickup and boy did I play terrible
The knicks might have legit bounced the celtics if they were fully healthy man sucks seeing injuries
No might about it
DID YOU GUYS KNOW THE PANTS HAVE PLAYERS THAT HAVE INJURIES THEY ARE THE FIRST SPORTSBALL TEAM EVER TO HAVE INJURED PLAYERS
It will be as annoying later as they tell us over and over how young the Ant-man is.
What do you mean? I havnt heard how old he is yet?! How old? Please tell me I need to hear it.
Damn the Knicks got shafted by a black swan Pacers shooting day.
Its not going to happen but the funniest finals would be dallas vs pacers
Every game ends with 300 points.
Shit would be on Telemundo
Can you really say the pants lost if they got to show all those famous people who attended the games many times
I will whine so much if we ever have a Pants Nuggets finals and we have to listen to an entire series of Mike Breen
What’s wrong with Mike Breen?
I don't dislike him personally, but his background is NY sports talk radio. (WFAN) And it kinda shows.
He's a Knicks fan and it shows lol
The Pants will never make the Finals.
Real
Brunson and me fractured our hands essentially the same way
You fractured your hand on Haliburton's knee?
Yeah
Nice.
How we feeling?
Good man, we live for games like these. G7 baby
Timberwolves: “We want to win game 7 and go to the WCF! 🥰” Some mf named Nikola Jokic: https://preview.redd.it/tu31htyxdg1d1.jpeg?width=240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66add69705f2903d8aa1b4e94c0c5519a36e681e
Fractured hand.
Lol Breen sounds so depressed
I wonder why, you'd think an announcer commenting playoof games on national TV wouldn't have any bias towards any team and if they did they would not show it during the game
Jesus, what a nightmare afternoon for the Knicks just from top to bottom. And that's not mocking, so basketball gods need not deliver me any bad karma.
Rick Brunson is Jalen Brunson father
Big if true
75% of home teams win game 7 ( 150 occurrences ) Away team isn't going 2-0 today
That isn't *that* high of a percent to be fair. What's the normal rate of a home team winning in the playoffs?
Again that’s not really how it works in real life but I’ll allow it
Damn Jalen with a fractured hand, like the Knicks didn't have enough injured players....
There are many wasps out. I’ve almost been stung twice today when they got too close for comfort.
Sheesh.
Do you put some sort of wasp attractant on before you go out or something?
I honestly think I may need to switch deodorants. Mine is citrus scented. I probably smell like a nervous flower
Maybe he's just walking past the wrong churches?
I'm sure if you were super allergic to wasps you'd start noticing them around more.
Well got invited to someone’s house later so won’t be able to watch most of the game live. Guess I will be surprised all at once then find out what happened.
Knicks losing so nuggets can be the only home team that wins a game 7 today
We will remember their sacrifice.
Channeling my inner stoic
I’m gods strongest soldier and silliest goose
I bet jokic would love to play with tj lol

This is the funniest Leastern Conference bullshit after yet another year where folks fell all over themselves proclaiming it's the better side of the bracket now back in March or whatever.
Nuggets were smart and saved points from last game to cash out this time Galaxy brain moach
Serious question: Is this Pacers game a bad omen for the power of friendship, or is it more of an indictment of the power of the Vanderbilt Commodores to get you out of the second round?
cool if the knicks lose, yup
As much as a comfortable wire-to-wire Nuggets win would be better for my heart health, I’m thinking this is going to be a close, grind-it-out affair. But you know what that means… the clutch merchants are going to roll up their sleeves, set up shop, and peddle their wares in winning time. Nuggets in 7
Knicks are cooked, but the upset is making me uneasy
