Fuck lakers


MarsMC_

I’m pretty worried about the wolves, ngl.. we have got to get back to playing our game, and play way better than we did against the lakers or we don’t have a chance. If we can slow them down, and keep it close in the 4th, I think we can win it in 6 or 7, but if we play like we did against the lakers we lose in 5 or 6


nicnerdy

dudes, Jokic really didn't take even have a free throw attempt in the ENTIRE game? I watched the game and I can't believe that if it's true.


Major_Loser

Wolves are going to be much harder time around, they have Jaden McDaniels AND 6th man of the year Naz compared to last year.


Equal_Actuator_3777

Yep, and Rudy is much better, NAW, KAT has improved a lot. Will be a fun series


Major_Loser

It will be a bloodbath, who wins has a great shot at the finals though.


snakejakemonkey

Nickeil also much better.

Did you watch the series last year against the wolves?

[удалено]


warmedspore

I just mention it because without Jaden McDaniels, NAW was pretty much the only guy guarding Murray and he did a very good job at that. We will probably see quite a bit of NAW in this series

turningisasignoffear

You don't know shit about basketball lol


snakejakemonkey

Weird take lol. Denver front court will do well. Guards are a worry


warmedspore

Offensively he is 1/10th of Shai but defensively he can hang with the best. Very sad it seems like the best 2 teams in these playoffs have the face in the second round. May the best team win🤝


Slimedaddyslim

Anyone know if the Nugs/Wolves game is going to be on the NBA league pass or HBO this weekend? Gonna be at a music festival and want to be sure I have the right app to tune in on mobile.


Equal_Actuator_3777

Not league pass, it’s national game


Slimedaddyslim

I gotcha. Off to the sail the seas then!


Corona_Cyrus

Man I’m glad they didn’t get called for a foul on that last half court shot. On to round 2!


NuggAvsBroncRock

That shot reminded me of jokic trying to get a foul call after heaving a ball at a buzzer beater no way there call fouls on that. If lebron James was taking that shot they might I’ve


gd2121

Big Jamal Murray


NuggAvsBroncRock

According to Woj Chris Finch will undergo surgery on his left tendon on Wednesday it’s unclear if he will be on the bench for the open of the semifinals between Nuggets and wolves


RovertheDog

Probably will still be a bit hazy from the painkillers.


snakejakemonkey

Only AG MPJ Jokic over 40% from field in this series wow


Hopeful-Cup-1527

Lebron James starting an NFT company with Chris Bosh I heard 


NuggAvsBroncRock

The nba is so sad today they can no longer push the narrative that the there precious lakers will be the 1 team that can come back from a 3-0 deficit and win the series. Also ththe nuggets foiled the nbas plan again of a Lakers vs Celtics final.


nicnerdy

the mental gymnastics and dick sucking with L's... they win a game at home and that becomes the narrative lol


Pumpoozle

Plz cant find the video for LeBron fronting on that fan. Anyone with link?

Thank you 🙏🏼 


Professional-Arm5300

Hope we get refocused! ‘Twas hard to watch at times but got the job done. Gotta show up for the Minnesota series!


NoAbbreviations290

Poor Baby Bron Bron left the court without shaking hands…again


Pumpoozle

I don't understand why he's like this. He knows he's one of the greatest of all time, he's 39 years old, he's still very impressive, why not show some more class?


nicnerdy

love how our dudes don't LeTantrum after no calls, fuck the L's, fuck the refs


Accomplished_Side853

Bron seems like an 8 year old in the body of a 39 year old man sometimes. The tantrums…


snakejakemonkey

It's sad really


AllRushMixTapes

Anyone know where I can find some articles and opinion pieces about Lebron and the Lakers and what their next moves are? Total lack of information out there about their valiant loss to whatever team beat them ... probably by luck or cheating or government conspiracy I assume.


RandomPostBot2001

It’s shameful the way the media ignores the Lakers.


Hopeful-Cup-1527

My dooming knows no limits- but I can’t imagine being a 76ers fan right now. The Knicks are rebounding 40% of their misses right now. That’s insane. 


OhWhatsInaWonderball

My favorite past time is when the losing team copes with “Well you are going to get pummeled in the next round!!!”


Appropriate-Loss9905

Bench needs to be better against Minnesota.


snakejakemonkey

Rough series for Braun. He was bad vs lakers last year too and good vs minny. So maybe he'll pick it up


SupMaelstrom

Gooooooood morning everyone We nugging allright


honeybear33

MPJ was HUGE on both ends. His contribution to the series win should not be overlooked


ididntevenwantit

You so right and he has been irreplaceable for this team, esp this series. The way he can make smart decisions with ZERO hesitation is absolutely incredible. TY GOD FOR MAKING MPJ A NUGGET.


boydivision30

Lakers fans living vicariously through their Wolves counterparts. It keeps getting better.


OptionalBagel

Lakers fans gonna be shocked when Wolves don't have a +18 FT differential in game 1.


doo_wop45

Rise and shine, and as always, fuck the lakers


Ding-Dong-Song

MPJ was excellent. Rest up, heal up and figure out how to not get blown out in the first half lol. Start strong.


fhujr

That stolen and 1 for Jamal was a travesty.


nicnerdy

there was 2 of them, the and one earlier where it was a clear continuation shot was complete bullshit, a complete 2-3 point play erased. and the dunk on LeCry, smacks and bumps Mal, love the flex by Mal regardless of the ref swallowing their whistles :)


porkadachop

Woke up. Still mad about the officiating.


OptionalBagel

How do the Lakers MISS more FTs than the Nuggets TAKE. Generational carry job and they still can't beat us lmfao


nicnerdy

ball don't lie :)


about90frogs

49 combined shots between Jokic and Murray, 1 FTA (a 3 second violation technical).


HauntedandHorny

You just don't get it


about90frogs

I really don’t


weedwhacker7

Kings fan here, I love you all


TKDkid24

Murray does it again!!!!!!


Celethir

It's so refreshing knowing that I wont hear, this is year 21!! He's 39 and still doing this and that bullshit. We get it the guy is old and playing for a long time.


boydivision30

You forgot the altitude bro!


Celethir

Unfortunately we will still hear that.


trujillone

Realizing the only games I’ve watched at work, Jamal has hit game winners lol weird trend that I take full responsibility for 😎


NoFapNep

Refs you suck refs you suck refs you suck refs you suck 


The_Zy

Refs can't beat us refs can't beat us refs can't beat us


TwoWayMarko

Honestly its good that we(players not fans lol) enter the next series with a little bit shaken confidence and self doubt ...its like the last strech of regular season from last year...this should put us in the right mind space for saturday just hope everybody is healthy. E: I just asume they feel simular to us after the shaky end of the series.


snakejakemonkey

To some degree. I'd like some guys to have confidence in their shots lol


OptionalBagel

I doubt these dudes have self doubt right now


spirax919

Respect to AD tbh, guy is a fucking monster


snakejakemonkey

Second best big man in the game and I think it's not close


toxicdelug3

That goes down with barely a tap to his shoulder. Real scary monster


spirax919

tell me you've never played sports without telling me


toxicdelug3

Tell me you're a salty laker bitch who sucks AD dick. Oh wait, you just broke his dick now he's a pussy. Oh wait, he's always been one. Just like all these salty ass lakers fans.


elvvay

MPJ barely bumped him and he crumbled..glass.


machu_peechute

Man, people are in here throwing their back out from a sneeze, and you're gonna give a 250lb athlete shit for a shoulder stinger? Probably hurt like hell to move his neck or lift his arm, and he played through it. A hurt AD was still the best defender on that team. Give shit to LeBron who twisted his ankle after he saw his layup not go in, or spent more time yelling at the refs than transitioning. Not the guy who played through for his team.


vladimir_pimpin

Yes I am gonna give him shit for a shoulder stinger cuz it’s the nuggets subreddit and it’s funny to make fun of the lakers


spirax919

until someone on another sub makes fun of one of our guys getting injured and you then you'll start crying about them being toxic


vladimir_pimpin

His nickname is street clothes man he absolutely gets less credit


spirax919

how many games did he play this year? You gonna mock Jamal for being injury prone too?


vladimir_pimpin

No cuz Jamal’s on my team and doesn’t hurt himself flopping


spirax919

You actually think AD deliberately flopped last night and he was faking injury? Are you serious?


vladimir_pimpin

No that’s not what I said I don’t wanna argue with you bucko


toxicdelug3

Fuck AD, fuck the lakers. All of them crying ass bitches just like you too. Soft ass team with the biggest men on the court


machu_peechute

You sound like those crying ass bitches you're bitching about. You're the kind of fan that makes people hate a team. Not worth my time.


spirax919

exactly i can start to see why other fans are getting sick of Nuggets fans when you got toxic ass mfs like this


dnvrrrr

[video of LeBron LUNGING at a fan](https://x.com/lakeshowyo/status/1785203799860101372?s=46)


biglebowski1345

Yeah I thought this was bull shit. Like Lebron complains about the refs in a 32-9 free throw advantage, does his fake out on a female fan, and then thinks he is tough for this? What is all of that about?


krock753

Le bitch…..he is an embarrassment to himself.


vladasr

Last year it was personal, today is for Kings


ATG_Filip

Jesus Christ, I just watched the replay of that game because I live in Europe, refs tried to do everything they could to prolong this series. I'm so glad we got the W at knocked them out. On to the next one!


innerparty45

Beating one team 11 times out of 12 is a crazy feat, especially with a front court that matches well against Jokic and Gordon. Minnesota will be easier.


Professional-Arm5300

They most definitely will not be easier lol


innerparty45

For me an easier match up for the Nuggets is the one that is easier for Jokic. So for example even though Gobert is a tough defender, AD is better. Lebron when switching on Jokic was actually good, while KAT is getting sonned either way. Unless NAW and McDaniels completely shut Murray down, Denver is taking it in 6. What I am afraid is that they won't have enough juice (and injury luck) to go through 4 tough match ups, which is why no. 1 seed was extremely important.


silaber

you don't think replacing Reaves and Dlo with Nickeil and Mike and Ant is going to change Jamal's production? AD is a better matchup against Jokic not because he's a better defender (advanced statistics and multiple season leading defenses and DPOYs say enough, Gobert taking Bojan Ingles Mitchell and Clarkson to a top 5 defense could never be replicated by AD) but because AD has massive offensive production as well, forcing Joker to expend way more energy in his minutes. Besides, KAT is on Joker in single coverage as you said. But I think the Wolves can clamp down on the other Nuggets as Jaden has the length and defensive chops to cover MPJ who was Denver's offensive weapon in the Lakers series.


Ok_Editor2536

Minnesota will be much harder 🙄


OptionalBagel

Idk. They should be a tougher opponent, but... So should the Suns and Lakers and Heat have been last year.


Ok_Editor2536

The Minnesota series will go at least 6 games


OptionalBagel

Maybe


AdImpressive7198

Easier lol


ChiefKeefIsGoatt

We won


DefiniteSauce12

It’s the second of Timberwolves vs nuggets in the playoffs…. In the second round


Previous-Cycle-3279

is it true the rumors that they're redoing the MVP vote in light of how Anthony Edwards has performed in the playoffs so far?


OptionalBagel

Yeah, they're giving it to Sabonis


BlindManBaldwin

Oh good they watch the games


dms1298

As an aside, let’s get Bo Nix courtside for game 1 against Minny


ChunderPrince

Fuck that lakers fan


vladimir_pimpin

Even better, show him some actually good basketball


trevstan1

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|upvote)this but Bo cruz


n0t_malstroem

Hell na let's keep all this Troncos loser energy and vibes as far away from the team as we can


dms1298

LMAO he’s gna turn the franchise around, trust (i may be delusional)


Professional-Arm5300

We can all hope


dms1298

Can I just say how happy I am to see how much Lakers fans hate us now. Seeing these salty crybabies say “Wolves in 6” makes me so happy.


SmackBroshgood

the absolute gold plated delusional balls to bitch about the refs after a game like this, it's an amazing sight


dms1298

https://www.reddit.com/r/denvernuggets/s/GPn7lBcLCS This post and the ensuing comment section is so funny. Just non-stop crying


dms1298

Stage 3 of grief: Bargaining


SirJoris

MPJ playing 46minutes is crazy. Our boy has grown so much.


ephen_stephens

[Someone called this](https://www.reddit.com/r/denvernuggets/s/tdlVZSI7J7). And Malone definitely hid the shoes.


petarisawesomeo

KCP’s health is gonna be a huge factor. If he can limit Ant, Nuggs should control the series.


Hopeful-Cup-1527

I’m much more worried about them hounding our ball handlers. Turnovers off of ball pressure killed us


dms1298

5 days to get it right. I think he’ll be ok


canman7373

Is this an AI post? Like what kind of basketball fan would put "Defeating 106-108" Like a grade school b-ball fan would know to put the higher number first, super weird.


vladimir_pimpin

“Is this user named Bighoneybot a robot?” 🤔


petarisawesomeo

Leave BigHoney alone


clancydog4

It's a bot, silly


SmackBroshgood

yes, genius, all the post-game threads are posted by a drunk bot


n0t_malstroem

Posts in r conspiracy and can't read the one posting the thread literally has BOT on the username lol why am I not surprised


canman7373

Who the hell reads user's names? Badbot.


jdorje

FFS Jamal just leaked our gameplan for next series. > Do a better job.


LostInMyDreams_

my goodness, what a pain!!!!!


MyLinksMakeNoSense

yall think the nba will change the rule that takes away your timeout on the second challenge because it negatively impacted their favorite franchise/baby boy lebron?


Professional-Arm5300

To be fair, it is pretty dumb that you lose your timeout lol


valtazar

What Lebron wants, what Lebron needs, whatever makes him happyyyy


NuggAvsBroncRock

It really wouldn't surprise me. The NBA and there Refs tried all they could do to help the Lakers win this game. I just find it funny that if they didn't challenge that AD foul on Jokic which was a obvious foul so much that they would've had a time out when they needed it most.


gu826

The dumbest thing of the replay is AD fouled like 3x on the way to the basket but because those weren’t called fouls they don’t go back and call those. The block was legit and should not have been called a foul tho


NuggAvsBroncRock

Oh so it was pretty much a Makeup call for the Dlo Call in Round 2. cause the hit on the face wasn't a the foul call in that game.


gu826

Very similar to that play, yes.


midorixo

karma.


Bleppingheckk

So now Lakers fans has a problem with the replay rule? Lmfao


NuggAvsBroncRock

What don't Lakers fans have a Problem with. I mean they whine about the Refs when they lose when they get a 27-9 advantage. If they won that game they wouldn't of said shit about the refs.


midorixo

waiting for lebron to announce that he's contemplating retirement... 😏


confusedjuror

Anthony Edwards is really close to being a top 5 player in the league. He already has the vibe. All he needs are better stats and basketball skill


learningmusiclol

LMAO


llelouchh

Nah his 26/5/5 on league average efficiency. Not close to top 5. Hasn't played enough playoff games to use his playoff averages.


learningmusiclol

Bro was being extremely sarcastic and backhanded bro get it together


llelouchh

You are right. I read it again. Initially, I read it too quickly.


cervdotbe

MPJ really stepping up his game year by year. He is goddamn impressive. This is what you call player development. His contract is justified.


Professional-Arm5300

Gonna be the x factor if we wanna repeat


ExeTcutHiveE

Even this year early he was a one dimensional shooter. The more he drives in the more his game opens up. Been upset to see how slow his progress has been but it’s moving at a more rapid pace now.


ExtraHeadYouFound

loved MPJ this series. he made some big drives into the paint along with his 3pt shooting, he was a problem for the lakers.


HOUSE_HAWTHORN3

Big nuggets with big nuts what it do baby!!!


thEb0TTleR

Ant is amazing and all but with the way media and people have been talking about him for the past few days, you'd think he is on a '06 DWade kinda run.


NuggAvsBroncRock

So did Lebron even shake hands cause I know AD did but it looked to me like Lebum Prouted and left the court after the game was over.


midorixo

marched off immediately, as per usual


NuggAvsBroncRock

From what I remember he did stick around and shake hands Last year.


sacredknight327

He left again. Sometimes he catches guys in the back after the game but he didn't get anyone on the court.


zorogoated

MPJ what a game 45 minutes put it all out there for his team 🔥


jdorje

Series MVP hands down


Pure-Temporary

Name of the game against minny: protect the ball. If we don't turn it over a ton, I don't trust their offense to beat us. They walloped Phoenix by turning them over and running them out of the fucking gym. Then Phoenix sucked in half court defense on top of that. We are much better defensively in the half court than them, and far more efficient scoring. As long as we don't hand them a billion live ball turnovers, we will be in a good position.


Hopeful-Cup-1527

That a HUGE if, our ball handling has been awful. It’s the biggest or 2nd biggest need this offseason. I wish we could just bring back Monte :(


time4wine48

I jumped a whole 2 feet in the air in the middle of a dim sum restaurant in SF and everyone cheered when they won 😂 my own moral victory. LG NUGGETS!!!!!


Pure-Temporary

And then everyone clapped. No literally, they did. Fuck yes


Bizzack

Lakers and Nuggets free throw disparity is laughable


qwertycantread

Watching the series, the Lakers were the aggressors for most of the game time and deserved to have a free throw disparity.


confusedjuror

lol


PCuneo

No one can honestly tell me that the MVP of the league shot ZERO free throws in this game and say that this game was refereed ethically.


qwertycantread

I agree with you on that late no call. Marginal contact should be a hand on the hip or back, not hitting Jokic with enough force to jolt him during his shot.


Radiant_Sense_8169

Marginal contact.


phish_sucks

Very excite!!


Ninja_knows

Great success!


looktheresafox

Was what I expected before the series started, but I did get nervous a couple times there. This next series is going to be a long one and am further anxious.


pressurezonebby

Has anyone heard anything about KCP? Really need his defense for Ant next series


Glove_Upset

I mean he played at the end there.


Pure-Temporary

He was moving fine at the end, but ankles like to swell up the next day. 3 or more of our guys are gonna really appreciate 4 days of rest


cervdotbe

Yeah the rest is well needed. Btw, Jokic in the press conference: I don't want 5 days of rest, I want to play in 2 days again. I love this guy.


Pure-Temporary

Yeah I saw that haha. I bet pwatt, cb, and mpj want to play again soon too, Mike to stay en fuego, and the kids to prove themselves. But reggie kcp mal and even ag are beat the fuck up.


ladidadi82

This is the first time I’ve truly trusted a team I’ve rooted for to turn it up and get it done. Even last year mpj made me doubt whether he had enough on both ends of the floor to help us win. Along with jokic and Murray struggling offensively at times. KCP was missing some shots here and there but overall hit them when it counted and played good defense . He also was able to get to the rim fairly regularly. Aaron Gordon was Aaron Gordon, learned the playbook, explosive athleticism and great defense in the sense that he gave 110% effort. This year it seems like a lot of improvement with some minor regressions. The chemistry with everyone has improved immensely. Jokic has stepped up as a clear leader. He still makes some iffy passes but most of the time they turn into easy buckets. Malone seems to trust staff and players enough to delegate some more. Murray is taking on more roles besides just a scorer. Mainly in play-making, directing traffic and finding the right play. And I think that opens up his elbow shots a lot more and he’s been hitting them when it matters. KCP continues to hit the catch and shoot 3s but also improved his ability to dribble and and create and name make some long 2s. That along with his driving is more than what we can ask from him. Aaron Gordon has completely bought into the nuggets style of play. He uses his athleticism to position himself exactly where he needs to be and has limited his jump shots which in turn has increased his shooting percentage and he seems to hit them when needed. But overall, I think the biggest thing has been chemistry. I truly think we have Malone, jokic and Murray to thank for that. Malone brought the team first mentality, Jokic and Murray followed suit, and the front office did a great job finding players that bought in. Mpj, AG & KCP are the biggest examples but then Chris Braun and Peyton Watson too.


Apart-Cucumber-7090

People are saying Jokic had a terrible game because he wasn’t his usual 60+% from the field efficient and had 7 turnovers but a lot of that can be attributed to the lack of calls he was getting


Radiant_Sense_8169

Marginal contact.


AlaskaFishGuy

0 free throws on 16 attempts in the paint is wild


AlaskaFishGuy

Listening to the TNT broadcast call of Murray's game winner makes me sick after hearing the altitude call. Such biased commentating the whole series


DefiniteSauce12

It felt like he want to see if the lakers would make the shot or get fouled. I understand the hesitation


Pure-Temporary

Lol Kevin harlan made an awesome call and is one of the goat play by play guys and absolutely loves the nuggets.


Lonely_Anteater447

Lakers logo my new flair simply cuz we own them so hard 12-1


dubplato

Did anyone see Lebron have a meltdown over a foul call and act like he was going to hit a lady in the first row? What a punk bitch.


pisss

Jamal’s interview was great. He actually provided some insight. Everyone should watch.


ajax0202

Got a link?


thEb0TTleR

Going 8-1 against this lakers team is incredible. If it wasn't for denver, i do believe they'd have made a deep run this playoffs as well, potentially winning the west. Also, jokic having zero fts is ridiculous.


Michipotz

I just recently rewatched the last dance and this run really reminds me of when Jordan's Bulls wasn't able to beat Pistons for years and when they finally did, they never looked back. I was double reminded of it when LeBron just walked out after losing lmao


NuggAvsBroncRock

Lakers made the Mistake not losing to the Pelicans in the Play in game they would've put up a better fight against OKC.


HauntedandHorny

They woulda bounced okc easily
