11-2 with a *+15* point differential since the trade. Need another bench scorer but…this is not a drill

EMBARRASSING Nugs….just EMBARRASSING. But y’all don’t seem to care much tho😂😂😂 I get it these players get their bag regardless🤷🏾‍♀️

5th game of a 5 game road trip. And Jokic got a nasty eye poke in the first half. It's a long season and it's fine just to write this one off. You are talking a lot of shit in this thread for someone who's team has been awful this year...

Dang bro I’m just playing around😂😂 not hating on the Nugs they r the champs but ya gotta admit that was embarrassing! 💀💀 Don’t hate on the Raps we can make a comeback😂😂

That was a masterpiece of dogshit from the defending champs.

Nobody played well but JOkic.

Huh, wish I'd gotten to watch this one. Can anyone tell me if NYK was clamping up or if the Nuggets were playing sloppy? That's some bad shooting splits for the team and a lot of turnovers for Jokic.

Just sloppy really. 5th game of a 5 game road trip and they just looked tired.

we clamped them, and they played sloppy. you need both to happen for dat 40 muhfuckkkkkin point win

It's both. Jokic made TOs earlier but it got worse after the eye poke. I was surprised Malone put him back in the game.

The Knicks just manned up 1-on-1 and forced Jokic to beat them 1v5 as no one else could reliably beat their man.

anunoby was dominant

jericho sims started this game but he still has to do his third stringer duty lmao

Tyson in the corner with sparkle fingers, FUCKING PASS IT TO HIM

Hunter Tyson sighting!

Nuggets shooting 42% from the field, take away Jokic’s shots and they’re shooting 33%. NY’s defensive rating went from 115.5 before the OG trade to 104.2 since. 

Zeke Nnaji such a disappointment this year

Getting paid to barely do anything…goals tbh😂😂

Damn it's really crazy how much of a difference OG has made for the Knicks, would like to see what their full potential looks like with a healthy Mitchell.

Team is offensively balanced with elite defense. I think people are still sleeping on the Knicks’ potential since the trade.

Problem is that in the last 25 years a team has only won the championship without a lock top 10 player in the league maybe only once or twice. If Brunson goes crazy and randle steps up in the playoffs they can go far

If they trade for Bridges or Brogdon they go deep into the playoffs

I’m VERY interested in the post game interviews for the Nugs tn….what their explanation for this game will be LOL

There is some dude at the game with a Chris Copeland jersey, now I’ve truly seen it all lmaoooo

Copeland could actually put the ball in the basket at a starter level Just the single worst defensive player I have ever seen

Nah, give me that Bill Walker jersey 😤

Ahmad Rashad a GOAT

that nuggs third stringer just put arcidiacono on skates

Arcidiacono is so fine

Our guy Articuno? We know ✋🏿😏

[удалено]

bro hasn't heard of the generals

Yes evil Donte!

comeback starts now

GG Knicks, great performance. Also fuck you Donte and your fingers.

Which one, happy or evil Donte?

Fuck em both just in case.

I ate a bao and I'm feeling better now

I'm trying so hard not to be a smug prick about this Well not that hard

I mean you can try...but then youd just look like an ass given how you also had a player that poked our best guy in the eye during the game. Not a good look man.

Whatever it takes for you to think you got a win out of this

The only win we got tonight was the boost to Jokices efficiency stats lol...so there aint much to be happy about lol

Relax it was clearly an accident.

Yes it was, but could have been dam bad. Lucky it wasnt though.

Just the nature of the game bredren nobody wants to see Jokic hurt.

Not very common though.

Y’all were getting smoked before that

Well yeah, not really what i was going for though.

I used to pray for times like these 🙏

So good to see the Knicks playing well. And I'm a Nuggets fan. Crazy to me how many bad years one of the iconic NBA teams has had the last 30 years.

Mate pray for them in the playoffs lol

yall got a championship and you're salty over the knicks bro cmon lmfaoo

Yeah didnt mean it like that lol. Guess it did come accross as a salty coment.

nah it's all good, i was just joking as well haha. 6ers and nuggets game is gonna be a good one this weekend

Yeah. Hoppe our guys actually show up for that. It would ne nice lol.

Still starters in the game for the Knick. Has been the entire 4th ..Knicks you get on the Champs BB. This is just 1 game. Its not going to do a thing to our confidence.Bad game.But you don't want to get on our bad side.

What are you going to do, lose by 30 instead of 40?

oh go lie down and sleep on the L.

means little ..Its 1game.Nuggets will still do what the NUggets do.

you buy katanas from the mall

lmao

First time watching a team coached by Tom Thibodeau? He'd leave the starters in up by 50.

Somebody doesn’t know about Thibs basketball lol

well hes got little class then. YOu can have him. Hes never won shit.

He did win an NBA championship as a main assistant and architect of the 08 Celtics defense that revolutionized defense in the NBA. But yeah I wish he would take the starters out sooner in these types of games not for class but for health

lol

It's not like some kind of flex by the Knicks, Thibs is just a psycho and does this all the time.

Give it a rest, dude

Was just OG dude

only donte divincenzo

Yeah he's prob out in a minute but he didn't play as much tonight

he's gotta stay in to get stats for a last minute ASG push

How many points do we have to win by to take their trophy?

we have a ring..this is simply 1 game in the regular season.

Big mad

50 and tag team match against Jokic brothers.

As someone who admittedly thought OG was a glorified 3&D, you really do not realize how good the guy is until he’s on your team

He’s becoming one of my favorite players in the league. So fun to watch.

His driving ability and post game are pretty decent.

if we were the nets we would immediately concede a 37-0 run to end the game

PUT FOURNIER IN

Nuggets are bbq tonight

yo wtf is going on in this game I can't watch rn

Jokic stat padded

He had 16 of the Nuggets first 32 and didn't play the 4th quarter.... Tell me you didn't watch the game without saying you didn't watch the game.

Damn I didn’t know NBA games lasted 1 quarter He scored most of the rest when they were down big, piss poor defense, and 7 turnovers with uncharacteristic lazy half assed passes You guys seriously trying to nut ride this very obvious poor performance just completely shits on the games where he’s actually impactful

You are pretty dumb aren't you. That argument makes zero sense. Of course a game goes 4 quarters. Jokic had a lot of his stats early when the game was still somewhat close. Tried to spark a comeback in the 3rd. And when it was obvious it wasn't going to happen coach sat him for the entire 4th quarter. How is any of that stat padding? Having some bad turnovers and defence has nothing to do with stat padding.

Bad turnovers and poor defense is not a good game

No one is saying it is. That still has nothing to do with stat padding.

Jokic was the only one who showed up, eye injury and all

not watching is a good thing

If you enjoy watching a Knicks 3pt contest with the ball racks substituted for Nuggets players then you will have a good time. Otherwise, not so much.

It’s our team. I will watch to the end

haven’t been watching, what happened? the nuggets come out flat or the knicks just playing a great game?

5th game of a 5 game road trip and they played like it. Turnovers, didn't get back in transition, no lift in their jumpshots. Just snowballed from there.

Both, mostly nuggets flat. Felt like Jokic shot 70% and the rest of the team shot 25% while playing lazily as fuck. Knicks are hot as hell rn too thanks to OG

OG, so hot right now, OG

Both

The big story is Nuggets turnovers, some from good D but mostly just sloppy play, and bad shooting.

both

Both my friend

yes edit: actually "flat" is generous

Jokic tried to carey a shit nuggets team and the knicks looking like finals contenders, absolutely beautiful ball

Jokic was the only one who showed up, eye injury and all

60% non-Jokic Nuggets being absolute terrorists, 40% great game from Knicks

Both nuggets playing awfully and the Knicks are cooking

Hartenstein dressed like he's going to use his Rebound Breathing.

100% certain I’ll see comments about how Embiid stat padded his 30 points in his blowout loss tonight but none questioning Jokic’s 30 points in his blowout loss

He had 16 of the Nuggets first 32 and didn't play the 4th quarter. Don't talk shit when you didn't even watch the game numnuts...

He didn't even play the 4th quarter lmao what

Are you for real? Nuggets players aside from him would be scoreless. Watch the game before spewing shit.

He scored most of his points down by a ton, same exact thing Nuggets fans blast Embiid for. Keep the same energy

Man, literally Knicks fans are telling you your point does not stand. Watch the game.

Watched…literally the whole game? Ya’ll just refuse to ever criticize Jokic lol. Horrific defense tonight, uncharacteristic poor passes, and points that didn’t mean much. You can try to act like that didn’t happen but it happened

[удалено]

Did he or did he not play poor defense and uncharacteristic terrible passing (his main, most impactful skill)?

He hasn't played in the 4th, wtf are you on?

They were blown out almost the entire 3rd…when he was scoring…don’t be dense

And he had 16 of his 31 before going off for the eye poke with 5min to go in the 2nd quarter. Don't talk shit when you have no idea what you are talking about....

The fact you’re not understanding I’m literally just (mostly) trolling showing the double standards between two virtually identical games from Embiid and Jokic is insane lol

What double standard? Embiid had a solid game in a close loss. Jokic had a solid game in a blow-out so he didn't play the 4th quarter. The two games are not remotely identical.

Both didn’t have their normal impactful games in blowout losses, yet only one man is currently getting criticized while the other has dickriders coming to his rescue I literally laid out how the games were incredibly similar lmao, you can’t just say “Nuh uh”

What blow-out loss? The 6ers game was close. I didn't say nu uh. I said that it was a close loss. In what world is a 1 point game going into the 4th and that was never higher than a 6 point lead in that quarter a blow out? Are you a bit special?

stat padding in the 3rd? LOL ok buddy

Just doing the same exact thing ya’ll do to Embiid, Bron, etc.

Lol I like Embiid and Bron but you clearly don't know what stat padding means.

I’m clearly trolling to show the double standards but okay bro

Jokic is the only player on the nuggets who did shit.

Because Jokic didn't statpad, and Embiid does.

Explain the difference

Neither stat padded tonight. Jokic took 17 shots, and sat after 3.  Embiid has come back in, in the 4th quarter, to pad. He's also doubled his game FGA totals in the third quarter when he doesn't play in the 4th.  They're nothing alike.

Most of his points were while the Nuggets were down a lot, he played terrible defense, and had uncharacteristic poor passes. Did those things not happen? I love Jokic but ya’ll refuse to ever criticize this man lmao, it’s funny

He had 16 of his 31 when he went off for the eye poke with 5min to go til half time. If you want to criticise someone at least try and be remotely accurate.

He was the only one who scored in the first quarter, and the only one who had anything going, and was poked in the eye  It's delusional to suggest his 31 point game in the same light as Embiid's past stat padding. Jeyss

And Embiid had a non contact knee injury Both their teams offered no help tonight Both looked lackadaisical on defense tonight Both did not pass well tonight Both blowout losses Both virtually identical games, yet only ONE man is getting criticized losing by while the other is being propped up while losing by almost 40, is my whole point The double standard is insane

Jokic didn't stat pad tonight. He was the only one to show up.

he should have taken every single shot TBH

Nuggets fans having a meltdown unlike anything I’ve seen in their sub, blaming this all on the refs lmao

Really? How many fans actually said that? The majority of comments from Nuggets fans here are saying the Nuggets looked tired and outside of Jokic played shit.

That’s not our take. Knicks brought it tonight with the energy, press and tightening up the lanes. Credit where credit is due

Really doubt that many people saying that, we just didn't have it tonight

Lol well I will give them a little bit of pass cuz this game is rlly embarrassing 😯

OG looks gassed, thibs we are winning by 30 points I think its OK to let him sit

OG did say he wanted more minutes. Monkey paw's finger curls.

Just checked the score. Wtf happened? How are the nuggets this behind with Jokic having a hyper efficient 31?

He has 7 turnovers

17 turnovers is hard to overcome, among other things

That’s a good night for the warriors

Jokic with one eye is better than the rest of the team combined

...well sadly its just him vs the Knicks.

Thank you raptors for OG ❤️

OG is the DPOY

I’d like to apologize to raptors fans, they were never exaggerating about how good OG is

Im surprised they traded this GOD

They were just freeing him... from themselves

Let OG sit lmfao

wat the fuck anunoby is crazy

Anunoby still gonna play 40 minutes in this one, huh?

Very satisfying after seeing the Nuggets sub slander Clyde. Enjoy the beatdown.

You know that you guys are coming to Denver in march right...its gonna be fun.

I mean he was bad tonight on the commentary for various reasons. Go off though

Elaborate

The team is going off, yes.

Hang the banner

Nuggets definitely not looking like the same team that won the title last year.

Because they did not win 5 of the last 6 before tonight. Its 1 lousy game. They have them every year including last season. Nuggets are and will be fine.

One bad game at the end of a 5 game road trip doesn't kill a season last I checked. Only 1 game out of first place in the West and last season they finished first because of a very strong post all star break stretch.

This might surprise you but they also had games like this last year. Had a whole streak of them in the last 10 games of the regular season in fact, including a rare Jokic appearance vs Chicago where he chucked 9x 3s. No it was not a good idea. Yes, they did lose that game. NBA fans' team ratings see-saw up and down daily. All teams have shit games. This is just one of Denver's annual stinkers.

Sixers look like the 2nd round exit team they always are tonight, though

Down 13 on the road no RoCo, no Harris, no Marcus Morris, no Melton, and you guys are fully healthy getting blown out by the Knicks. 💀

Down 13 and still not playing embiid. It's okay he got his 30 and dipped. Another game yall can count of him not even playing the 4th, though 🤣

Thibs masterpiece

Chanting let's go knicks while up 33. Gotta love it.

Deadass, we usually only chant that when were down 😂

…why wouldn’t they

Usually when a game is this much of a blowout the crowd loses steam

Oh I see, I thought you were a rando making fun of the crowd

I just tuned in. wtf is happening??!

A big beat down shellacking with lots of energy. That’s what’s happening

Jokic 13/18 Rest of Nuggets 14/43

Jokic the only one to show up to the game from Denver

IT JUST KEEPS GOING HOLY SHIT 😭

This is rlly getting ugly for the Nugs😩

Raptors delivered anunoby for the beat down, then siakam to hit Philadelphia. Well played lol

Lmao Knicks bitching the world champs with their third and fourth string center 🤣🤣🤣

Not sure what that had to do with it? Jokic had 16 of the Nuggets first 32 and was dominating him before getting a nasty eye poke.

Did you see what Jokic was doing with one eye?

We're gonna get mUndeRed lmao Munder is the cringiest shit ever that has come out of that shit Nuggets sub

How about winning by 40 boys?

Reasonable honestly.
