Joker would have a field day verses the spurs. All wemby does is camp in the paint

Between Giannis and Jokic I don’t know who gets more passes off just 1 championship for failing year after year. Denver’s championship is more suspect than the bubble championship.

The black dude, and the purple tie looks like the corrupt cop on one of the early seasons of the rookie lol

First time I saw Stephen A show some genuine love to the Joker.

Nuggets have zero chance in the playoffs. They don’t have a backup PG and Braun can’t hit open 3s

If Murray Jokic and Gordon get fully healthy they are on the same level as the Spurs Pistons and Celtics in terms of likelihood to win

Everything is going through OKC and San Antonio. Denver can’t beat either one as of now

This 2026 is very weird – Steven A. defending Denver with a passion was really not on my bucket list.
With all due respect, Steven A. its time to retire the “can’t jump onto a curb” line. It wasn’t good when you came up with it and it isn’t good after being used for a 1000th time. I’m sure you yourself are bored with it. Find a new line.
That aside thanks for the faith in the boyz.We ride with them through thick and thin!

They were getting hurt last year throughout the whole season man… yet the blame was Russ. Stop with the excuses

Adversity is the BEST thing for the Nuggets. Keeps them hungry and irritable, and when Jokic and Murray are those two things… watch out
@dpend
March 9, 2026 at 7:20 pm
No, YOU stop this nonsense Stephen A. Nuggets are not and have never been contenders! Injuries or not… Jokic is amazing but as a team they are just not good enough!

If they get into play-in, they’re gonna be a tough opponent for the top 3 teams.

They should’ve kept Russ. They were a dynamic duo when Murray was hurt last year. They could’ve shopped him and MPJ together and got something crucial to create a trio. Yeah Murray is a franchise tagged talent, but he’s starting to get clipped like Klay and become a constant liability

Bummal worry is Denver’s downfall and Jokić’s biggest nightmare, giving him 50 mil a year is ridiculous 😂

No. They have been playing terrible all season. That is what happens when you hand the keys to a contender to a 1st time coach in over his head.
