The game started 9-2 Nuggets, the Wolves called a timeout and God himself must’ve been in that huddle because this has been insane.

Nuggets will get less criticism for losing by 50 than the celtics get for winning by 14

Thinking about withdrawing from my 401k and putting it on the Nuggets in game 7 at home in Denver.

It is NOW the most embarassing loss ive ever seen. Next game will be the greatest Denver Nuggets game of all time

Anthony Edwards is not Kermit Wilts, Kermit Wilts is Anthony Edwards.

“They were better than us in every segment of the game. We need to accept it. … When you lose by 45, it’s not something that happens every day. Just accept it, you know. I’m cool with it.”

Jokic: “actually, we had them like 9-2 score… right? It didn’t look good for them in that period, you know?”

Will people outrage over Jokic leaving the court before the final buzzer and call him a ‘poor sport’ or is that just a LeBron James thing?
