Denver Nuggets News

Nikola Jokić was stellar vs. the Kings tonight! 🃏 34 points 🃏 14 dimes 🃏 7 boards @nuggets move to 4-2 to start the season 👏

How?

This isn't quite what they had in mind with the high 5 rule, methinks

For what it's worth, when Ball comes out with 7:34 left in 4Q, Hornets down by 17, they immediately go on a 10-2 run with LaMelo on the bench.

Quick, who's Larry standing next to

A reminder that no matter where you are on the depth chart in the NBA, you've got serious skills, as Quenton Jackson scores the dagger

So this went from very smart Kuminga to scram switch Steph out of the iso defense on Siakam... but then he.... just leaves Siakam???

Check the marvelous footwork on this finish by Jackson. Left foot is the gather step when he gathers the ball, then adds shot fake with the slow to quick Right-left into jump. 👌🏀

GUI AT LAST, GUI AT LAST

Even if he releases the ball before he lands, it's a travel because by lifting both feet in the air, his pivot foot came off the floor before he released the ball into a dribble

Here's a great example of a gather with one hand when it's on top of the ball!! This is that mythical instance that almost never happens that folks were pointing to

First off, Curry release time is crazy quick. And why is Tony Bradley mad at this call? He took Curry down

How many were from his own missed shots?

Can't wait to break down the actual video and explain this in even more detail 👍🏀

🤷‍♂️

Bear hugs from behind are apparently not foul worthy. Good to know ✍️🏻

BLAZERS BEAT THE NUGGETS IN A THRILLER 😯 Jokic was so close 😳

Final

Hate that ending. Hate hate hate it. Ticky tack calls. Yes the Nuggets gave up the lead, but damn, got the short end of the stick with some of the calls near the end.

What the hell is this game??? Genuinely???

Just how?

Win or lose, Adelman is nooooot going to be happy with the sheer amount of turnovers by the Nuggets tonight.
