The official Denver Nuggets thread.

Jokic played with a lot of energy tonight. Terrible foul call that led to his ejection. Turner clearly hooked his arm right in front of Tony Brothers. Brothers needs to be fined and/or suspended. He’s going to cost us some games in the playoffs with his vendetta against Jokic

Just need a a Kings loss today to clinch a playoff spot. Oddly enough it didn’t take as many wins as a year ago to clinch in the west.

But they host the Bulls so I don’t expect the clinch to come today. It’ll also be hard to clinch tomorrow at Boston the way the team keeps getting themselves down double digits right now.

So maybe Tuesday when the kings host the Nets. Though that isn’t a given either.

Man, it's so cool to think our boys will be back in the playoffs. Even more so knowing, we built a good young core for many years to come. Plus, we have the ultimate wild card in MPJ coming next year. When the FO originally bungled the Faried deal, I was prepared for the worst. We have exceeded my expectations in every aspect.

Who knows I might actually have to call Malone a decent coach.

He might be turning a corner, he pulled the plug on IT a lot sooner than I thought he would. I think his in game adjustments need to happen sooner and he’s a bit willy nilly with the timeouts at times but he definitely should get credit for identifying some of the young talent we have right now.

Ultimately though, I feel this is more the result of continuity and letting a coach bring his vision to life by getting th types of players he wants and growing with them.

Kings dominated so clinching must wait another day.

Playoffs baby!

Excellent road defense tonight. They are playing good basketball right now.

This was a great win, I love the 8 man rotation right now: Milsap, Jokic, Harris,Barton,Murray, Morris, Plume and Beasly.

I would say 9 man with Craig also adding solid minutes.

[Houshmazode]

Pulled even with GS too.

Homecourt advantage would be nice for the playoffs (and probably needed if we want a chance at getting to the Finals).

[DenverBlood]

I’m just glad they didn’t let IT run the season into the ground over ego.

I’m still worried about even getting out of the first round though. This team will be young and inexperienced for playoffs. Utah and San Antonio are both super hot and I think could easily embarrass us first round.

I want nothing more than to surge the last 13 games and draw the Clippers first round.

[DenverBlood]

Team seems hellbent on making sure they hold onto one of the top two seeds.

[Bronco51]

The 2nd team won this one tonight. Craig played a great 4th quarter.

[#87Birdman]

Very balanced attack tonight. 5 scoring 15 and 3 of the other 4 scoring double digits. Some shaky basketball in there including giving up that 30ish to 8 run was bad but pulled it out in the end.
