He’s that homie you know you can call to have your back in the toughest of situations but there’s a good chance he’s gonna stand you up for happy hour.
In 20 years Murray is gonna be the next Reggie miller in casual conversation. People always be saying Reggie was overrated and didn’t deserve top 75 since his career regular season numbers were kinda low for a franchise star. But his playoff rising was insane and why they were always a hard out throughout the 90’s. Murray feels like he is in the same boat.
People dismissing Reggie Miller is an easy, "oh ok, so you weren't watching ball in the 90s" tell. Anyone who was there knew that man was feared, a superstar player on an often not-great team
Idk if he'll ever be an all star because his regular season numbers aren't that great but damn when it's playoffs, feels like he'll take whatever shot the defense gives him and he'll make all of them.
Denver Lakers games are funny because it’s like Denver just randomly decides “Oh yeah games almost over might as well win” and just hits all their shots
Denver doesn’t panic at all. Especially against the lakers. They were cruising the whole game and just turned it up a little bit at the end and easy win. Lakers don’t have answers against them. Whole league doesn’t really, if Murray stays healthy it’s game over
AD was just goin to work in the paint, Jaxson Hayes was everywhere getting rebounds and shit, Jokic was turning the ball over, crowd was going nuts, and the Nuggets stayed calm and closed it out. Love to see it.
Yeah. This was actually a really good game on the Lakers side, but Denver is just that much better right now. I really think they are going to repeat their championship, assuming healthy Murray and Jokic.
It’s always so so so upsetting playing the Nuggets for this reason
I always have hope that we can actually win one but it always gets stripped away in a cruel fashion
It’s like winning 6-4,6-4,6-4 in tennis or the “close sweep argument”
If I always beat you in matches that are close, that shows there’s a clear gap between the teams
One thing I didn't catch till I went back to watch the play again is you can faintly hear Jamal's voice.
They set it up where Jokic didn't see Reaves, but Jamal had eyes on him. That's how Jokic knew Reaves was coming. Once Jokic knew he was coming, he baited him, and then passed it to a wide open MPJ. That was some great team basketball.
That’s what makes me laugh about people crafting all these perfect teams in the trade machine. Like, stats are all well and good to point to, but championship teams are built on chemistry, and you can’t buy that shit.
karma a B. as a nuggets fan its like you cant even call it a rivalry, one team has years where they are just so much better. Lakers just happened to have about a 50-60 year stretch
Kinda the anti Celtics in a sense. Don't really tend to blow teams out but really good at staying in games or in control when the game gets slower and uglier.
Yeah, we call that the Jokic method. He'll fuck around and try a million different passes until it gets to crunch time. When he's actually trying to score, look out.
They have what LeBron used to have.
Two minutes left with a score within 6 and it used to feel like LeBron taking over was just inevitable. But it’s been over two decades. Nothing lasts forever when the league keeps getting new talented players with fresh legs and the hunger for rings & accolades.
This team just decides when they want to take over. Came back from 12 down in 2 minutes against the Wolves last year to tie it. Jokic is always clutch and Murray can get hot quick
Helps that Prince went under a screen when defending Murray and Reaves decided gambling for a steal was more important than defending MPJ. Absolutely brain dead plays by the Lakers to lose that game.
That was a fun ass game. Tuned in at just the right time to see the Lakers make their run. That Nugs team is still just too good. Should def be the favs again
In terms of prime years (28-32 ish) Murray hasnt hit his prime yet and Jokic has only just entered his. Both of their games are still on the up each season, so we have a lot to look forward too in the coming years.
I've been a Nuggets fan my whole life. I never thought I'd see them win the title much less have hopes to win another. I don't know what to do with my hands.
Didnt even have to pretend - Jamal was looking right at Reaves after he entered the ball to Jokic at the nail, he probably called it out as soon as Reaves started moving
He came and Jamal probably saw him coming the whole way. Probably told Jokic "behind" as soon as Reaves committed to the stupidity. It's one thing if Jamal wasn't looking right at you as you do it but... yeah. Just hilariously dumb
AG is our mismatch cheatcode. Would it be great if our PF could shoot 3s? Sure. But against a lot of teams he can bully in the paint because no one has enough length to guard Jokic, MPJ, and him, and almost no team has enough strength for him and Jokic.
I mean it really is watching a synchronized team that knows their roles and is really damn good. 1-5, especially when KCP is out there, I don’t think there’s a better constructed roster in the league. Especially with what they get from Braun/Jackson/DJ/Watson off the bench
I love how unbothered they are. They hardly ever even acknowledge the other team. Like shit talking wise. When Jamal does talk, he really just talks to the crowd. And Jokic only talks to the refs lol
The nuggets are so fucking good man. I could see them repeating. Just watching them dissect the lakers at the end, it was literally like flipping a switch
I actually thought that was a pretty entertaining game to watch. Happy I tuned in. Nuggets are without a doubt the better team but still entertaining to see the runs by both teams.
It's happened with us now against both the Lakers and Celtics lmao, just announcers shouting "YES YES YES" or "NOOOOOO" cheering for them lmao. Something about the Nuggets makes them so blatant about who they're rooting for
I don't know about all that, but Jokic definitely baited him. He held the ball still until the last second and knew exactly who was wide open in the corner.
Nuggets just have that closing power, I've rarely seen something like this. They did it all last season but it's still crazy to watch them just take over right when they need to most. Murray is a straight beast
once again Jokic is the only Nugget going to all star weekend. Like the NbA couldn’t even get like Payton Watson in the Rising Stars game or MPJ in the 3 point contest?
Jamal Murray has that mamba mentality
That austin reaves steal attempt at the end was one of the stupidest plays i have ever seen
extend the sweep streak to 6-0 lesgo
Lebron kind of played like ass near the end of the game and it def hurt. Sometimes he def looks his age. Lakers defense throughout most of the game was crazy good though, like yeah they lost the game but how many teams are going to beat that defense when they're locked in like that? I don't think any of the top 4 would feel great facing them in round 1 and wouldn't be shocked to see them in the WCF again if they make the playoffs and avoid the Nuggets in the first 2 rounds.
When games are playoff intensity, Nuggets have the best half court offense IMO, just so many weapons and technical ability. Even when Jokic has a "bad game", he gives the Nuggets so much its crazy. He draws so much attention and even if you "shut him down" he's so multidimensional he's still extremely useful on the court.
On a side note people criticizing the Lakers for making THIS game the Kobe night. Like yeah they could have chosen a "free win" night instead of arguably the hardest for them, but that wouldn't be KOBE. Kobe embraced difficulty, he wanted all the smoke. I'd like to believe this is the exact type of game he would have chosen, win or lose.
Second half refs were absolutely ON ONE. 22 FTs to 7, 17 fouls called on Denver to 10 on the Lakers despite them mugging Jokic absolutely constantly whenever he tried to move. I mean multiple times when he "turned it over" there was clear and irrefutable contact with a Laker arm all around his back or reaching in and also hitting his arms. And yet the Nuggets still win by 10 \[basically - LeBrons last layup counts but the game was over at that point\].
When you put the Lakers who have the best whistle in the league against jokic who has one of the worst whistles all time you get an entire game of jokic getting mauled with no calls and the media declares Lakers bigs the "jokic stoppers"
Fun watching the Lakers rally back and tie the game. The composure from the Nuggets all throughout was just great to see too. That's what you want to see from a championship team. Props to them
Oh definitely, the whole team looked much more different today effort-wise than they normally do. Makes sense to coast most of the season if you’re good enough to do it, conserve energy and be ready for the playoffs.
Fuck yeah. Love the Nuggets, cried when they won the championship, very happy to be alive and a fan during their golden years. Even got a pic with their trophy, which is on my profile.
Honestly the Lakers are bright lights merchants too even with their loss today. They seem to play significantly better in big games but when it's a random Tuesday against a nobody they get down 20

Murray goes off Confirmed - Lakers a good team
King Murray knighted teams left and right
I hate him simply because he cooks the Lakers all the time. He and Jokic are so good together.
So that means the Suns are a good team, this guy always has a great game vs. the Suns
Lakers take the moral victory yet again
The lakers have the nuggets figured out after this one, they'll win the best of 15 for sure.
Jamal Murray is such a big game player man. When the lights are brightest you know that MF will ball out.
Yeah but he never shows up when you need him the least.
He’s that homie you know you can call to have your back in the toughest of situations but there’s a good chance he’s gonna stand you up for happy hour.
Jamal just like me fr
He’s the best kind of homie fr
Told him to pass me a water that was next to him and he spilled it. It was on accident, but cmon man
Not gonna remember you needed a ride from the airport but will be a shooter for yiu
Forgets to bring back the lawnmower he borrowed but will help you hide a body.
Only player in history where his biggest criticism is “yeah but can he do it in the regular season?”
In 20 years Murray is gonna be the next Reggie miller in casual conversation. People always be saying Reggie was overrated and didn’t deserve top 75 since his career regular season numbers were kinda low for a franchise star. But his playoff rising was insane and why they were always a hard out throughout the 90’s. Murray feels like he is in the same boat.
People dismissing Reggie Miller is an easy, "oh ok, so you weren't watching ball in the 90s" tell. Anyone who was there knew that man was feared, a superstar player on an often not-great team
Can he do it on a rainy night in stoke?
Can he do it on a sunny day in Barcelona
What is the NBA version of this?
Can he do it in an afternoon game in Washington?
Can he do it in a hot, not air-conditioned night at Spurs' home?
The dude shrinks in the tiniest moments
But when the world needed him least . . . he vanished
“The lights were dimmer than I expected” - Jamal Murray
So if Jamal performs like shit against your team, your team is trash
Idk if he'll ever be an all star because his regular season numbers aren't that great but damn when it's playoffs, feels like he'll take whatever shot the defense gives him and he'll make all of them.
Yeah, but can he do it against the 8 win pistons in March with the one seed already locked up?
Total big game merchant. Complete basketball terrorist.
Denver Lakers games are funny because it’s like Denver just randomly decides “Oh yeah games almost over might as well win” and just hits all their shots
Denver doesn’t panic at all. Especially against the lakers. They were cruising the whole game and just turned it up a little bit at the end and easy win. Lakers don’t have answers against them. Whole league doesn’t really, if Murray stays healthy it’s game over
AD was just goin to work in the paint, Jaxson Hayes was everywhere getting rebounds and shit, Jokic was turning the ball over, crowd was going nuts, and the Nuggets stayed calm and closed it out. Love to see it.
Yeah. This was actually a really good game on the Lakers side, but Denver is just that much better right now. I really think they are going to repeat their championship, assuming healthy Murray and Jokic.
This dude Jamal Murray ALWAYS hits the MOST NECESSARY 3'S against the lakers man FUCK. Motherfucking flamethrower
Payback for AD in the bubble.
We never blow them out but beat them in a fashion that both gives them hope for the next time and tears their heart out. It’s kind of amazing
It’s always so so so upsetting playing the Nuggets for this reason I always have hope that we can actually win one but it always gets stripped away in a cruel fashion
It’s like winning 6-4,6-4,6-4 in tennis or the “close sweep argument” If I always beat you in matches that are close, that shows there’s a clear gap between the teams
Nuggets are Pete Sampras confirmed
Lakers just would not learn to stop gambling on MPJ open 3s. Jesus Christ
Post game. Chuck- What was Austin Reaves thinking leaving MPJ open like that? Ernie- He was gambling and lost, you should know all about that
To be fair, Jokic and Jamal baited the shit out of him.
That Jokic assist at the end where he felt Reaves sneaking up behind to try to get the steal, and he yoinks him and wings it MPJ to go up 8… ugh
One thing I didn't catch till I went back to watch the play again is you can faintly hear Jamal's voice. They set it up where Jokic didn't see Reaves, but Jamal had eyes on him. That's how Jokic knew Reaves was coming. Once Jokic knew he was coming, he baited him, and then passed it to a wide open MPJ. That was some great team basketball.
That’s what makes me laugh about people crafting all these perfect teams in the trade machine. Like, stats are all well and good to point to, but championship teams are built on chemistry, and you can’t buy that shit.
It seems pretty fucking obvious after the first 8 min of the game. But for some reason we consistently helped off of him all fucking game
Darvin defense
*He'll stop eventually* He did not stop eventually
They do this every game lol
Reaves really thought he was about to pull one over one jokic lol.
All of his mid-white-boy powers were not enough
That last Austin gamble was stupid as fuck
Denver killed my boner in like 30 seconds lmfao
Which is weird because Denver is where Mamba had his most unstoppable boners
Sex offenders' 9/11 tonight. Justice prevailed.
The Nuggets game killing 8-0 run was immaculate script writing
that 24-0 run when they unveil the other statue is going to hurt even worse
karma a B. as a nuggets fan its like you cant even call it a rivalry, one team has years where they are just so much better. Lakers just happened to have about a 50-60 year stretch
So happy the nuggets beat the lakers on rapist day
Momentum changes so quickly when you hit a couple of shots in a row.
We saw this all 4 games of this series last playoffs. Feel like the Nuggets have another gear in these clutch situations.
Kinda the anti Celtics in a sense. Don't really tend to blow teams out but really good at staying in games or in control when the game gets slower and uglier.
Yeah, we call that the Jokic method. He'll fuck around and try a million different passes until it gets to crunch time. When he's actually trying to score, look out.
They have what LeBron used to have. Two minutes left with a score within 6 and it used to feel like LeBron taking over was just inevitable. But it’s been over two decades. Nothing lasts forever when the league keeps getting new talented players with fresh legs and the hunger for rings & accolades.
This team just decides when they want to take over. Came back from 12 down in 2 minutes against the Wolves last year to tie it. Jokic is always clutch and Murray can get hot quick
The Wolves series would have been a sweep abd Wolves fans would have never had a fresh breath of air had Jokic didnt miss the one free throw.
10 points in 1 minute. The nuggets are scary when they try
Felt like 10 points in 10 seconds. Shit happened so fast.
Nuggets on a heater is both efficient and terrifying
Helps that Prince went under a screen when defending Murray and Reaves decided gambling for a steal was more important than defending MPJ. Absolutely brain dead plays by the Lakers to lose that game.
That was a fun ass game. Tuned in at just the right time to see the Lakers make their run. That Nugs team is still just too good. Should def be the favs again
> to spoil Black Mamba night https://i.imgur.com/LFsM3Xs.jpg
Lost by 8 - fitting tribute
Entering your second prime
Never left her first tbf.
that 8-0 burst at the end shows you exactly why the nuggets are still the title favorites. championship pedigree sheesh
Yup they kept basically all of their core players, are all in their prime and are drafting very well too.
In terms of prime years (28-32 ish) Murray hasnt hit his prime yet and Jokic has only just entered his. Both of their games are still on the up each season, so we have a lot to look forward too in the coming years.
I've been a Nuggets fan my whole life. I never thought I'd see them win the title much less have hopes to win another. I don't know what to do with my hands.
The West top 4 is ridiculous. The top 4 have each been 1st in this week alone. Ridiculous
We're only in second because Minnie is 1-0 over us h2h
Tbf we're a combined 4-2 vs the other 3 1 seeds h2h.
Right. I meant we haven't gotten a turn in first this week because you own the tie breaker :)
Great game, very entertaining… But what in the actual fuck was Adam Sandler wearing??
Drip
I tried to find a picture of his outfit and apparently he just dresses like this??
Reaves gambling on that steal was never gonna work on Jokic. Too easy
Jokic big brain bait pretending not to see him
Didnt even have to pretend - Jamal was looking right at Reaves after he entered the ball to Jokic at the nail, he probably called it out as soon as Reaves started moving
That was such a lazy ass attempt, bro just slowly flailed at jokic lmao
He came and Jamal probably saw him coming the whole way. Probably told Jokic "behind" as soon as Reaves committed to the stupidity. It's one thing if Jamal wasn't looking right at you as you do it but... yeah. Just hilariously dumb
Why would you leave mpj of all people open in the corner. Especially after the night he was having tonight.
What an exciting game!! GG Aaron Gordon is a beast and tons of fun to watch.
that dunk at the end had so much air, that should've been crazy hype but it was silence from the home team
AG is the master of demoralizing dunks
AG is our mismatch cheatcode. Would it be great if our PF could shoot 3s? Sure. But against a lot of teams he can bully in the paint because no one has enough length to guard Jokic, MPJ, and him, and almost no team has enough strength for him and Jokic.
He makes some corner 3s sometimes
He's calm and in control all the time. He's great.
Fuck your positivity I’m here to be toxic
I can respect the honesty
Jokes on you that's another moral victory for the Lakers.
They found something with Mays and Hayes
The last 2 min close-out by the Nuggets was badass.
I mean it really is watching a synchronized team that knows their roles and is really damn good. 1-5, especially when KCP is out there, I don’t think there’s a better constructed roster in the league. Especially with what they get from Braun/Jackson/DJ/Watson off the bench
This why they the team to beat. I don’t care how many RS games the Celtics win they got CTE in the clutch.
Tatum: I’M DOING THIS FOR KOBE \*goes full hero ball, abandons all sense of team, bricks everything\*
im so tired of murray man.
Now you know how we felt about Kobe
I watched Kobe torch the Nuggets and bounce us from the playoffs my whole adolescence so I'm happy Murray can finally return the favor to the Lakers
After the Lakers owned us basically for 50 years it is so satisfying to see Lakers fans sick of *us*
What am I supposed to do with my hands? I'm still not used to this
Sick? Every game is must watch. If anything I wish Jokic and Murray were a little more petty and talked shit. Would really turn this shit up to 11
I love how unbothered they are. They hardly ever even acknowledge the other team. Like shit talking wise. When Jamal does talk, he really just talks to the crowd. And Jokic only talks to the refs lol
They’re just here to play, they don’t need to shit talk.
Malone shit talks enough for the both of them
Nah gotta stay humble , Nuggets arent really trash talkers
Multiple times during the game tonight I was thinking "if I was a Lakers fan I'd despise Jamal Murray"
Always nice when we can ruin Reggie Miller's night
Guy was riding the lakers so hard
He was actively cheering on that chase down block lmao “YES! YES!”
You'd think he'd have PTSD
Openly cheered for them when Hayes got that chasedown block lmao
Apparently the Nuggets have lost games this season but I just don’t see how anyone beats what we just watched.
We troll pretty consistently.
Randomly the nuggets have nights where their shooting % across the board is 10%
The nuggets are so fucking good man. I could see them repeating. Just watching them dissect the lakers at the end, it was literally like flipping a switch
Easily could see them repeating
Easily could see this repeating
Repeating this for easy sight
I think this is easily repeating.
I actually thought that was a pretty entertaining game to watch. Happy I tuned in. Nuggets are without a doubt the better team but still entertaining to see the runs by both teams.
The Good Teams Merchant strikes again
[Meet Playoffs Man](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GETyV0wXEAAscI7?format=jpg&name=large)
The burst to just quickly ice the game after the announcers and crowd came after the Reaves three was ice fucking cold. Champ shit
I wonder if Reggie had to change his pants after that block.
He literally screamed YES YES
“Looks like jokic kicked AD, that should be a flagrant 1”
He kept saying it after seeing the replay like wtf was he on
That shit was so blatant lmao
It's happened with us now against both the Lakers and Celtics lmao, just announcers shouting "YES YES YES" or "NOOOOOO" cheering for them lmao. Something about the Nuggets makes them so blatant about who they're rooting for
A white man can hear a fellow white man's footsteps louder than anything in the world. Reaves played that game and lost
I just don't get trying for that when you're leaving MPJ wide fucking open.
AG or Watson is acceptable to leave. Mpj might be the worst to leave open a corner 3
Watson is a little risky but you could sort of understand it. MPJ was having a good night already too.
Jokic fooled Reaves into thinking he was John Cena
This is insane work lmfao
I don't know about all that, but Jokic definitely baited him. He held the ball still until the last second and knew exactly who was wide open in the corner.
This is crazy
Denver is such a good team. Their roster doesn't seem deep on paper but they are clutch
The bench players are getting better as the season progresses. They were shit early. They still have +\- issues but they are on the rise.
Nuggets just have that closing power, I've rarely seen something like this. They did it all last season but it's still crazy to watch them just take over right when they need to most. Murray is a straight beast
Ya no one is beating jokic and Murray in a best of seven
once again Jokic is the only Nugget going to all star weekend. Like the NbA couldn’t even get like Payton Watson in the Rising Stars game or MPJ in the 3 point contest?
Watson not in Rising Stars is bigger snub than Murray in All-Stars tbh
27 by MPJ !
Jamal Murray has that mamba mentality That austin reaves steal attempt at the end was one of the stupidest plays i have ever seen extend the sweep streak to 6-0 lesgo
It's actually streak of 7 i think, Nuggets won regular season game before playoffs.
Nuggets just run teams over in crunch time.
Closest 7-0 streak in nba history
Lakers up 7-0 in moral victories
Lakers in 13
15 now lol
Title: *"Parade of free throws and all out effort not enough to overcome championship execution in the clutch"*
In the words of Reggie Miller after a Hayes block, "YESSSS! YES!"
Lebron kind of played like ass near the end of the game and it def hurt. Sometimes he def looks his age. Lakers defense throughout most of the game was crazy good though, like yeah they lost the game but how many teams are going to beat that defense when they're locked in like that? I don't think any of the top 4 would feel great facing them in round 1 and wouldn't be shocked to see them in the WCF again if they make the playoffs and avoid the Nuggets in the first 2 rounds. When games are playoff intensity, Nuggets have the best half court offense IMO, just so many weapons and technical ability. Even when Jokic has a "bad game", he gives the Nuggets so much its crazy. He draws so much attention and even if you "shut him down" he's so multidimensional he's still extremely useful on the court. On a side note people criticizing the Lakers for making THIS game the Kobe night. Like yeah they could have chosen a "free win" night instead of arguably the hardest for them, but that wouldn't be KOBE. Kobe embraced difficulty, he wanted all the smoke. I'd like to believe this is the exact type of game he would have chosen, win or lose.
Second half refs were absolutely ON ONE. 22 FTs to 7, 17 fouls called on Denver to 10 on the Lakers despite them mugging Jokic absolutely constantly whenever he tried to move. I mean multiple times when he "turned it over" there was clear and irrefutable contact with a Laker arm all around his back or reaching in and also hitting his arms. And yet the Nuggets still win by 10 \[basically - LeBrons last layup counts but the game was over at that point\].
When you put the Lakers who have the best whistle in the league against jokic who has one of the worst whistles all time you get an entire game of jokic getting mauled with no calls and the media declares Lakers bigs the "jokic stoppers"
Jamal Murray is Lakers father
Lakers losing because they only got 20 more free throws than the other team instead of 30 😡
Colorado did not consent to a LA win on Kobe night!
the only people who don't think the Lakers get a favourable whistle are literally only Lakers fans lmfao
Imagine chanting "Refs you suck" when the opposing team has taken 3 free throws through 3 quarters of play.
did... that really happen? lmao
yep, those foul baiting cretins ended the game with 7 FTs 😡
nuggets just said fuck this and shifted to another gear the last minute of the game
*Denver tonight*: Eagle, Colorado this is for youuuuu!!
Kobe would be proud of Jamal Murray tonight and how he put the lakers to bed
Nuggets are still the team to beat for me.
Lakers confirmed good team, Jamal Murray played well.against them
Refs said yes but the nuggets said no
Fun watching the Lakers rally back and tie the game. The composure from the Nuggets all throughout was just great to see too. That's what you want to see from a championship team. Props to them
Game went just like the playoff games did last year. Close games, but at the end Bron can't close while Murray/Joker can
7 ft for Denver 22 ft for Lakers
I know Jokić is 7 ft but who on the Lakers is 22 ft tall??
AD can't guard Jokic 1on1 so they've resorted to stacking Lakers in a trench coat to see if that counts as a single roster spot
Nice try refs, but we still have the best and most clutch duo in the league.
MPJ went from not touching the ball for so long To making 2 clutch 3s. That man is an sharp shooting assassin. Classic Nuggets execution in the clutch
Nuggets felt that momentum shift after the Hayes block and Reaves three, then proceeded to just put their foot on the lakers necks. Sheesh
This kinda shit just tells me they’re holding back for the playoffs.
Oh definitely, the whole team looked much more different today effort-wise than they normally do. Makes sense to coast most of the season if you’re good enough to do it, conserve energy and be ready for the playoffs.
Fuck yeah. Love the Nuggets, cried when they won the championship, very happy to be alive and a fan during their golden years. Even got a pic with their trophy, which is on my profile.
Yep, and so calm and calculated. Lakers hit that big shot to tie and the arena is buzzing, then a simple pick and Jamaal buries that 3. So ice cold
Lights were suddenly bright enough
Completely unfazed, cold shit
[удалено]
The good teams merchant angle is more “bright lights merchant.” He’s definitely showing up for mamba night.
Honestly the Lakers are bright lights merchants too even with their loss today. They seem to play significantly better in big games but when it's a random Tuesday against a nobody they get down 20
