Is Marlow crazy? Jamal had the triple double at the same time as Jokic in the freaking NBA finals!

Max combo 10 for 35 fg and 6 for 25 for 3 lol Porter is in a major funk. I think he’s worn down from playing every game, if not playing hurt. He will benefit from an AllStar break.

34 assists and 7 guys in double figures. That's Nuggets basketball. IDGAF who was shooting good or had a rough night if we play like that. If we play like we played to start the 2nd quarter i have a major issue with that ISO ball, because we don't have the players for that brand of basketball. Bigger problem was inability of our guards to stop any of Simmons/Scoot from driving past them like they are traffic cones.

I have no idea what happened to MPJ, but the #1 difference in his game is that he simply hasn't been the consistent shooter he was his entire career since the NBA finals. When MPJ used to shoot 3s, I'd be shocked if they didn't go in. You almost felt like they were automatic. Now, I pretty much have no idea if he's going to make the shot or not. He's still shooting close to 40% but he seems to be much less consistent than he's been in previous years. I do like that he's added some to his game and he's still useful but him not being an elite shooter hurts the Nuggets.

Bigger problem was inability of our guards to stop any of Simmons/Scoot from driving past them like they are traffic cones. Watson was getting cooked by Simons and he's not a guard. Brunson obliterated KCP a week ago. It happens. Nuggets know how to flip the switch and play elite team defense when needed. You can't give that kind of effort 82 games per year.

This is one of the worst teams in nba, missing their best player and it still required playing Jokic 39 minutes. Pretty sad performance to be honest

Nothing has changed with him, and perhaps we suffer from recency bias. As I said, MPJ has played all 50 games and appears gassed.

I hope so because that will really help the Nuggets win games and get the 1 seed. All Star break will be good for the guys too.

I wonder when or if we will ever go from being whinny and pessimistic as a fan base to GSW fans level of cocky and optimistic?

And now to be really really honest with you guys, the atmosphere at ball arena was EMBARRASSING. It was quiet, fake chants from audio and fans only got excited during all the entertainment sequences (like the halfcourt shot lol)
and also, as I said all year, I watched only NCAA and Euroleague so far this year, this was my second Nuggets game. Bro, NBA is basketball is HORRIBLE. It’s horrible. It’s not entertaining anymore…. Sadly, really. I’m honestly looking forward to the CU vs AZ State and CSU vs Boise State game more than I do to the Nuggets vs POR and vs SAC games that we all have tickets for.
Also the seats have gotten horribly tight, my fat ass hard real problems with it and I’m 100% sure 80% of the guys in the arena were fatter than me lol (for example, jimi sat right next to us)

That said - Ball was rocking hard during the finals. The arena gets loud when it needs to. What a great day for you!! Hope you used the $800 towards a steak!

Regarding MPJ:
I would be worried if his shot mechanics or footwork was bad - both look great.
I think playing every game (including playing up the finals last year) has taken some toll - the asb will be very beneficial for him.

Definitely not on a steak but I will use the money ($400, since Jordan got the other half obviously) on some cool CU clothes 😂
