    Y’all be nuggets dickriders they not a championship caliber team at all πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ the spurs would beat them in a 7 game series and im not a spurs fans mark my words come back to this if spurs stay healthy and they play okc in a seven game series or a series at all the spurs are gonna beat them

    The nuggets team that let Matthurin drop 38 in his second clipper game in a loss?

    When is the last time we seen a team whose best player is 6’1 win a championship? Zeke in 1990?

    3-5 since Jokic came back but were 10-6 when he was gone but the Jokic groupies said the Nuggets would be a lottery team without him. And when they’re eliminated in late April what tired excuse are y’all gonna give Jokic then?

  11. @TheBestMovieAlive

    February 20, 2026 at 7:55 pm

    Jokic needs to play much better than he has these past 3-4 games. Way too many turnovers and four baiting. Not to mention he can’t hit a three point shot right now either. Once he cleans up his play, gets his 3pt shot stroke back, reduces the turnovers, stops making dumb attempts to draw fouls, and his teammates get healthy again, then the nuggets will be dangerous again.

    Spurs and Wolves are the only 2 teams that can give us problems in the west

    Minnesota and Denver have the advantage. Minny is healthy and Denver has the best in the world. No excuses

    Remember The Knicks just won The in season tournament championship.

    That should be something great for The Knicks Fans

    ESPN wants to any anywhere other then OKC in June and July last year they made a huge deal about okc needing experience and now they say the spurs and pistons can win it all

    The nuggets are by biggest worry

    It’s crazy how when they talk about Denver they always bring injuries up. But when they talk about OKC they rarely mention how heavily injured they been all season, missing multiple starters and major role players. Instead they bash them and say they fell off, championship hungover blablabla. They are just haters! Perk is the only one to bring up injuries and it’s ironic because the Thunder is one of the most injured teams in the league and they are still one in the west.
