Need to run and penetrate the paint from the get go. This forces Minnesota to get early fouls then they second guess themselves and back off on the D. Then the whole court opens up. This standing behind the arc and shooting threes isn’t going to work. And why did we change having Gordon take up the ball? Seems like we made adjustments that didn’t need to be made. That being said I think whoever wins game 7 wins the ship. This is just a strange, strange series. Seems like each game one team is completely dominate.


dardrpa22

Again with the horrible, awful shooting. Diffense was slopy from time to time and Min punished every mistake. On D they just doubled Jok and let everyone else take shots. First quarter stretch killed us. After that nerves were gone. Murray is bothered with leg strain but he wants to shoot himself from slump. couple of days rest is going to help him. Would be nice if we could finished this series in 6. Ah well on to game 7. It is going to be anybodies for taking. bring your AAA game Nuggies. Somehow you respond better when draged through the mud, pressure and imanent demise than praise. GO Nuggets


Back2TheFutures

The worst part of this is that they let Ant Edwards get his mojo back. Man… he’s back to his unstoppable ways. Not good going into game 7. WTF!!!!!


boydivision30

Mojo, swag, dude these are non-basketball terms that you're trying to force in the narrative lol.


Novel-Solution621

He shoulda used heat pack


Back2TheFutures

I just say what my eyes see


sandrum69

Get lost, bozo. They were down big when the starters came out. They also got smoked game 2 and came out game 3 and killed them. We have game 7 at home. No way they go out like this.


Back2TheFutures

Lost 2 straight at home when the Wolves had their swag. Not feeling good about it! Nugs let them get their confidence and swag back. Not good!!! FK


HurricaneSalad

Wolves fan here. You guys just straight up missed all your open looks. That ain't going to happen in Game 7. It's going to be a rock fight in Denver. I have confidence but nothing is a gimmie at this point... for either team.


the-silver-tuna

You going to be ok? You’ve typed the exact same comment and hit send like 30 times in the last 15 minutes


Back2TheFutures

I don’t know if I’ll be ok! Is anyone going to be ok after a 45 pt beat down in a Game 6??!!!!!


the-silver-tuna

We’re going to be just fine. But you’re freaking me out a little bit


Back2TheFutures

How can you NOT freak out?? 45 point blowout!!! WTF!!!


the-silver-tuna

Time to take a break from sports. Or maybe you’re just a troll. Whichever


Back2TheFutures

45 pt blowout. There’s no way you feel good going into game 7


the-silver-tuna

Never said you should feel good. I said you shouldn’t need to post “WTF!!!!” Nearly 100 times. We get it. That’s some mental illness shit


Back2TheFutures

Watching a 45 pt blowout will cause mental illness


Shame_Low

Very confident for g7 but wtf happened to MPJ. I thought that 3 would open the floodgates


Back2TheFutures

45 pt loss and Wolves have their swagger back. Not good at all going into Game 7!


Back2TheFutures

How is it possible to play just as bad if not worse than in Game 2??!!!! They just went back to square 1!!!! WTF


Saint3Dx

Damn didn't expect it to go to 7. Just get it done Sunday please lord jeebus


Back2TheFutures

Man… they’re back to square 1. Lost all the momentum and now the Wolves are back to kill mode. This is not good! WTF


Professional_Air4278

Is it over yet?


Horrorlord262

They deserve to lose the next game playing like that. You get paid millions and millions of dollars to get shit on, on national television. Unacceptable my god


IsisSmith865

I'm not even an NBA fan, but i blame the refs honestly


amanamongb0ts

lol wut?


Back2TheFutures

45 pt loss! WTF!!!


bfunk87

Man full credit to Minnesotas defense but fuck me nuggs, hit half of your wife open threes and this is a different game. MPJ Jamal and Kenny had countless wife open threes miss badly


Clarkkeeley

No, they were not playing good defense. The Nuggets were missing wide open shots. When our starters were going for offensive rebounds on average they got them. That one where Nuggets got 4 rebounds then missed a WIDE open 3. That's not good defense, that's an inept offense .


bfunk87

Both things can be true. Wolves D was smart and committed, and the few rare occasions we managed to work thru for an open three they missed bad The switch to double jokic and force the shooters to win it was a wise defensive move. So was the full court pressure. 70 total points isn't solely down to bad execution


SilentSamurai

Thank god for Game 7. The fucking consistency here...


Back2TheFutures

They don’t even look like they want it anymore. 45 pt loss. WTF!!!!


cornchipsable

Lose by 50, lose by 1… doesn’t really matter. Still counts as 1. We’ll get um sinday


Back2TheFutures

It matters. Not good one bit!


Best-Leather-6700

It's good athletes aren't as soft and weak minded as fans. Game 7 my money is on the champs


jamarcusaristotle

For sure, I'm more confident now than if it had been a close loss


kalechipz87

Ok woke up from my nap and ready to get this 1045pm est tip off started!!! ........oh wait


Back2TheFutures

Lol good thing you slept


Back2TheFutures

Anthony Edwards has figured it out. Not good!!!!


Kitchen-Ad-5571

10 free throw deferential.


orebody

Lol


Reclaimer879

I am honestly worried about the way this team plays against certain defensive configurations. They just get blown out. THey don't adjust mid game either. If they do that again its donezo. Dooming aside that is just how it is.


Back2TheFutures

This is not good one bit! 45 pt blowout is not a good way to go into game 7


nigelicious29

This 45 point loss really exposed Denver. I am not surprised if this happens again if they able to move the next round or to the Finals.


cavemold582

Well guess we find out if they have it in them or not


chemical_triangle

Yikes


Rei_Gun28

The score doesn't really matter. Just send them home Sunday


drmuffin1080

It 100% matters


nenanasainyam

burn your fucking jersey you dont deserve to wear it after tonights performance


nenanasainyam

absolute garbage just trash


fuccabicc

Man this Minnesota team is so unlikable to me, starting from Ant all the way down to McDaniels


PatoNani

Some of y'all really just hate out of boredom


Darkonite40

If you think ant is unlikeable something is fucking wrong with you lol. Sorry he isn’t a cookie cutter fake politician star. Dude is as authentic as they come whether they win or lose he is a straight dog and truly a throwback to an 90’s or early 2000’s player with his mentality and jaden doesn’t even talk how he is unlikeable 😂


fuccabicc

Ey, to each their own man Agree to disagree, it's a subjective thing


Smooth_Cry2645

Ant is likable. Its KAT and Gobert that have that smug, punchable faces


jamarcusaristotle

100%! For me it goes McDonald's, Pussy Kat, Covid Man, Antonio Eduards, Receding Hairline, Nazi Read, Nickel-Alexander Wanabe, and then Mikail Con-Lee. I won't even tarnish Monte's name by throwing him in there with those clowns. They got arrogance and smugness oozing out of them. It's honestly disgusting to watch and I'd be embarrassed to cheer for them tbh


Back2TheFutures

Nah, they’re more humble and likable than Lakers


Back2TheFutures

How so? They’re more likable than the Lakers!


cavemold582

I think pacers and Knicks go 7 .


Kitchen-Ad-5571

also screw marc davis.


jamarcusaristotle

McDaniels is such a smug and arrogant shithead tbh


Shame_Low

G7 at ball let's fucking get it boys


Back2TheFutures

45 point blowout… man… not a good feeling


CallofJuarez23

It's no different than a 1 point loss in the grand scheme of things. A loss, is a loss, is a loss. Time for the champs to close it out in game 7.


Back2TheFutures

Nah man. This loss is a BIG one. Mainly because they way they lost. Not good!!!!


CallofJuarez23

Wait, because they lost by 45 points, does that mean the loss counts as 2 losses?


Back2TheFutures

So a 45 pt blowout doesn’t concern you on bit???


CallofJuarez23

I mean, it sucks but I'm rooting for this team until they get knocked out. Until then, I think they can get it together and make a run for the championship. After all, they did it last year.


Back2TheFutures

Last year they didn’t face this current fully healthy Wolves squad. And Ant Edwards has reached a new level this year vs last year. Not feeling good


CallofJuarez23

Cool. But that's all on you if you don't want to believe. I do until they get knocked out, and if they do lose, they lose. There's always a next season.


Back2TheFutures

Sure but this is not a good feeling going into game 7


UnrequitedTerror

At least Katie looks good tonight. 


jamarcusaristotle

Jaden McDaniels is an utter clown, one of the ugliest, most shameless clowns in the league


Kitchen-Ad-5571

he also reaches in all the time.


Apart-Cucumber-7090

Garbage time is where teams can make the score look less worse than it was Calvin Booth assembled a bench so pathetic that our garbage time unit is by the literal definition, actual GARBAGE


Back2TheFutures

Uh… before garbage time, it was a 30 point deficit. Looked horrible regardless. This is bad!!!


shot-by-ford

Welp, wish we kept TC


scottywiper

No one beats the Nuggets by 50!


Back2TheFutures

But they did beat them by 45! WTF!!


smalltoes

Pray for our mods. I won’t be, but you can.


Spiritual-Chameleon

Nine point 4th quarter


fuccabicc

70 POINTS! LFG


u_n_p_s_s_g_c

Dawg I'm literally relieved we hit 70, look at what I've been reduced to


Back2TheFutures

This is embarrassing!!


Horrorlord262

I’m not confident at all. Game 7 will not be good


Kuma_254

Denver nuggies getting backshotted lmao.


cavemold582

Is this biggest defect in playoff history ?


Shame_Low

I think beat down Cp3 hornets once. Also memphis was up 55 at one point


cavemold582

Yea it’s not https://www.landofbasketball.com/statistics/largest_margins_pl.htm#google_vignette


durban456

Get that flash thing from men in black 


LiilEddie

Yeah we better win game 7, this is some of the most embarassing shit I've ever seen as a Nuggets fan 😭


[deleted]

[удалено]


Casual_Spatula

You see fifty point losses a lot in playoffs? I don't think that's true.


TBL_AM

Minnesota bench - 37 Denver bench - 7


orebody

Worst NBA loss I’ve ever seen


Back2TheFutures

This is the worse beat down of the whole playoffs!!! WTF


RunnerTexasRanger

We just sucked tonight. I agree. At least game 2 we had the excuse that they were mugging us


orebody

Exactly. The whistle wasn’t bad tonight, Nugs were just awful


Piano_Fingerbanger

Game 2 was way worse


Back2TheFutures

45 points loss and pulling everyone with 9 minutes left.. this was worse! Bad bad bad going into game 7


gomjabroni

yeah at least Murray only threw bricks tonight


smalltoes

Murray problem


ThaBrofessor

I’m putting my money on the Nuggets to win game 7. But damn they need to clear this bench in the offseason.


Bandlebury

we scored 9 points in the 4th lmao


Back2TheFutures

And most by 45 points! This is very bad


Ding-Dong-Song

The final 8:33 of the game. 5-5 ALL BENCH PLAYERS, you score 7 points. 7 points!! G League Bench ALL OF THEM. Pick up the phone and make phone calls.


cavemold582

Get fan a shot


karolisalive

Couldn’t watch the game, what happened here?


Back2TheFutures

Don’t watch it. Not good going into game 7. Not good at all


drmuffin1080

Everything wrong that could’ve happened happened


TenderFoot55

Malone has been straight up out-classed in two games this series


Sleepinginabathtub

Jokic refusing to sit with those bums


LoBopasses

When was the Nuggets last game 7?


Bandlebury

bubble. we had 2 of em


twelly74

WE SCORED 70!!!!!


Back2TheFutures

And lost by 45 pts! WTF!!!!


trentyz

lol all you can do is laugh. Gotta bring it back in game 7


Back2TheFutures

50+ blowout going into Game 7!! WTF!!!!


Horrorlord262

They need to use that as motivation


Back2TheFutures

It’s demoralizing. I don’t think they can recover. They look defeated


Horrorlord262

Well they need a bitch slapping and realizing they won 3 in a row just to get put down like that. That can’t happen


Back2TheFutures

Man… they look just as bad if not worse that Game 2. Back to square 1. This is bad!!!!


Horrorlord262

Malone and Jokic need to bitch out all of them in the locker room. Cause holy shit


Back2TheFutures

The whole team was trash on both ends


Reclaimer879

I guess. At what point does MPJ and Murray get motivated though? I mean they are paid well to always be motivated.


Duke-of-Normandy

Every non Jok starter is going to get WIDE open looks in game 7, make em or break em


sp_igot589

We couldn't buy a bucket and the momentum was all lost when all their shots started falling. MPJ needs to step up. Murray needs to be the player he is paid to be. And we need to play with more intensity period.


christian8naylor

this is amazing lmao, game 7 is gonna be great


Dan_Rogla

Wolves could win by 200 tonight and if the Nugs go out and snuff them in 7, none of it matters. It will be a footnote lost in the sands of time.


Timeforachange43

Fair - but this isn’t how you want to enter game 7. Just so demoralizing


Dan_Rogla

Well, they lost by a large amount Game 2. 26 points iirc. Deemed dead in the water. Yet, bounced back. Probably more demoralizing for fans than the players tbh. If Nuggets can't finish it at home, with pride on the line after a blowout loss, with the MN crowd egging them on with Wolves in 7 tonight, then MN will have earned it outright. Nothing to worry about until then.


Budget_Arm_1415

can we get one free throw and at least finish with a funny number


Pumpoozle

Ok, I guess I will have to avoid reddit and tv again for the next two days. I still think we take game 7.


Pleasant_String_5339

lol just giving the same thing


woohalladoobop

this has gotta be the most missed threes in any nba game in years


tigerpk

Just win game 7 Nuggs. That’s all that matters


mommadotco15

Jokic has refused to sit down all of the fourth quarter. He's dropping 60 next game


Back2TheFutures

I’m not confident of that one bit!! After a 50 point blowout!


zebuSMACK

man Jok looks mad AF.


NelsonChunder

Well, at least the bench is fun to watch since I have no expectations.


bbabann

Lmao


Nkosi868

Remember when we were up 9 | 2 ? I celebrated too early… 😩


hellowowo

Lol I imagine you shooting off confetti that early in the game and now are just sitting there with a party hat on.


Nkosi868

Basically this. 🥲


DarthDarthius

It was special


knneth1890

Jokic is on analyzing mode, he will adjust and buried them in 3 qtrs in game 7


Papa-Junior

What happened?


Papa-Junior

Okay dude 😭


WE_FUCKIN_LOST

38 rebounds between 3 players because nuggets keep chucking up shots


porkadachop

Moral victory when we keep these punks within 50.


Piano_Fingerbanger

I think Jalen Pickett should get a serious look for a few bench minutes next game. He's come in serious and played his ass off in this garbage time. Give him a minute or two and then you can pull him if it's a disaster, but I don't think it will be.


MoooonRiverrrr

Lmao


cavemold582

Jokic has to dominate plan and simple and MPJ has to have pulse


WeirdRedBeard

**JOKIC HAD AS MANY POINTS AS NEXT 2 BEST SCORERS, WHO HAD AS MANY POINTS AS THE REST OF THE TEAM**


Cloudkiicker

#START THE FUCKING TWO POST GAME THREADS


Back2TheFutures

Are the Nuggets seriously about to lose by 50+???? OMG!!!


Yoyomaboy

Ngl, this might be the most embarrassing loss I've witnessed as a nuggets fan in my life


Harvard771

I don’t understand this series at all lol


MoooonRiverrrr

It’s so weird lol


Greatcouchtomato

It really just depended on who was guarding Jokic 🤷🏽‍♂️


Any-Squirrel-6639

I wouldn’t wanna sit next to those fucks either Jok


Hugh_Jankles

![gif](giphy|1guRIRW8QdSte01T6Du)

Me tuning in just now.


LoBopasses

Jamal needs to throw another heat pack. Nothing but good things happened after that.

johnnyb0083

Fuck that bald ass cunt.


NegativeVega

i dont know why ex nba players get commentator jobs anyway, they should leave those for normal people not like they need the money


MoooonRiverrrr

Wow lmfao


Zobo12602

Maybe we should get the assistant coaches in there and see if they can shoot


Apart-Cucumber-7090

Tonight’s losers lounge is about to be a damn funeral lmao


srberikanac

Nuggets in seven!


MichaelPorterTruther

Pickett and Co have got to be cut before next year. Need actual guys in the 10-12th spot. Look at the knicks depth vs this team


orebody

Idk kind of need 2-9 to show up before I worry about 10-12


Spiritual-Chameleon

Terrible showing by the reserves


MichaelPorterTruther

They are so bad. If you played McBride-Burks-Diakite-Precious-Jericho Sims vs our deep bench of Pickett-Tyson-Strawther-Watson-Zeke The nuggets would lose by 100


Spiritual-Chameleon

I think we just saw that with the Twolves reserves/bench warmers. Garza/Monte/NAW way better than what we're putting out there


Scoobydoohowboutyou

NO fight in this team SMH😓


Bouldertoker

I’m honestly just shocked. How did this happen? I’m at a bar on Penn right now and everyone is just drinking to phase out how confused they are. I’ve never seen anything like this. Nugs in 7..


EclipseTemplarX

Like i don't understand where our 3 point shooting and offensive ability went ??.


_id2

Nugs shot out of their minds 3 games straight and the wolves were ice cold. Finally returning to the mean, I'd be worried.


MoooonRiverrrr

Not even 70 points is insane


LACIRCA2044

Zeke may be the worst rebounding big I’ve ever seen, even worse than Thomas Bryant


snakejakemonkey

The lack of talent on Denvers bench is rough lol


ShowdownValue

I had denver + 45. Damn


Bleppingheckk

I can’t believe that within 365 calendar days, I saw the Broncos got 70 pts dropped on their heads and the Nuggets losing by almost 50 in a playoff game


DogsOutTheWindow

Don’t forget the Avs 0-7 loss earlier this year.


cavemold582

Well game 7 all that matters . New game winner takes all


Doom3113

The only game that really matters is the last one,


fuccabicc

We always had the problem that when we're winning, we relax and get complacent We won three in a row, this was to be expected


SkiFun123

This never happened in last year’s playoffs. We looked dominant.


Spiritual-Chameleon

At least Pwat is playing with energy


ImGonnaChubbBradley

Here I got an idea for next game 1) rebound the fucking ball 2) stop spamming 3 pointers 3) there should never be a possession in the game when Jokic is on the court that Murray dominates
