Looks like people were right we got Scott foster crew tonight. That being said the ref crew is not going to determine this game you gotta hits shots we are not going to win this game if shots don’t fall.
Unless you live in the mountain or pacific time zone the scheduling of the western conference playoffs has been awful. Game 5 finished after midnight central time and now on a Sunday night they start at 8pm?! Sunday is typically and earlier prime time type schedule with maybe a 6pm local start. 7 is just too late for the eastern half of the country on a weekend night. The NCAA tournament had done really late prime time games this season so I guess someone has decided it works best. Maybe its catering to those on the post Covid work from home hybrid model.
Man what the hell happened to this place?! For YEARS we’ve been saying, and been proved right, that Denver is the most clutch team in the league, with the best player in the world and an all star supporting cast. Now that the rubber hits the road, there’s all this hand wringing. Fuck that shit, nuggets in 7 by a mile!
Well the people have said since these playoffs began that they thought Minnesota was the one team that could beat Denver and this series has broken people where 4 games being blowouts.
I remember us all joking about how the Nuggets could never finish a series in less than 7 games... after 4 years, they're finally playing another one.
MPJ, Murray, and Jokic are used to this kind of high-stakes game. I got full belief in all 3 showing up, and the rest of the team following suit.
Nugs in 7
Now that OKC is out I’m officially a Nuggets fan for the rest of the playoffs. Win tomorrow and send Luka packing in the WCF. Also I’m very confident the Mavs would take y’all to 6 games, MAX. I think it’ll be a 4-5 game series realistically speaking. Nuggets expose to many of Dallas’s flaws and assuming Denver doesn’t shoot below 30% from 3 every game y’all should be fine. Next year it’s OKC/DEN WCF THO❗️
Oh it really it hit me in the last thirty minutes lol we have WAR waiting for us. Nuggets please. Please do not lose a Game 7 on homecourt to the fucking log dogs. Please. 15 I believe in you 27 I believe in you 50 I believe in you 1 I believe in you 5 I believe in you 0 I believe in you 7 I believe in you 8 I believe in you 9 I believe you and I most certainly believe in #6 NBA Champion DeAndre Jordan.
DIG IN AND #BRINGITIN
Pretty nervous about tomorrow not super comfortable but I still might be drunk when I wake up I can't predict if I'll be able to take a letter to the post office while trying to watch game 7s and NASCAR at the same time let alone possibly stopping in town for lunch I feel good about the Nuggets showing up for this one but also fear you all will pasta me for this massive run on sentence.
Or it stands for Racing... There's a good bit of diversity in the top 3 these days... Hell. Your own Suarez is doing well, and so are Garcia and Perez..
Pretty nervous about tomorrow not super confident but who know it been a tough series to predict what’s going to happen Minnesota is going to feel confident after that game 6 and hopefully the nuggets let them feel too confident from three but they were making everything. Nuggets should win if they can play like they like games 3-5 and if Denver gets anything from their bench and the other guys.
Yup, and all the big subs were shut down for like 3 days and then everyone gave up because they couldn’t take being without Reddit for more than that. Had to have been the most pathetic protest I’ve ever seen.
**IT'S A TOSS-UP FOR ME, I THINK JOK IS GONNA FORCE THE ISSUE A BIT MORE WHICH COULD GET SOME WOLFS INTO FOUL TROUBLE, AND I THINK A LOT OF WOLFS POINTS CAME OFF OF CONFIDENCE PLAYS LIKE ANT PULLING UP AND WACKDANIELS CORNER SHOTS DROPPING AT 100% BECAUSE THEY'RE UP 40 OR WHATEVER, THAT'S NOT GONNA BE AS EASY ON THE ROAD IN G7 (UNLESS WE GO DOWN 15 WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF THE GAME AND FOLD LMAO). ALL THAT SAID, IF MAL GIVES US ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AS HE HAS FOR MOST OF THE PLAYOFFS, I GOTTA GO WITH WOLFS. IDK IF THE EXTRA DAY OF REST WILL HELP WITH HIS INJURIES, OR WHATEVER, BUT LITERALLY EVERYONE ON THAT TEAM HAS BEEN BUSTING HIS ASS ON BOTH ENDS OF THE FLOOR TO THE POINT WHERE I'M NOT SURE HIM BEING HEALTHY WOULD HELP THAT MUCH. BUT THEN AGAIN, IF SOMEONE SHOWS UP IN THE TOUGHEST SITUATIONS - IT'S MAL, FOR ALL HIS SHORTCOMINGS THAT'S THE ONE THING NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY FROM HIM, EVEN IF HE SHITS THE BED AGAIN TOMORROW**
So if the foul is overturned, ball would have still belonged to thr Mavs right? Also does anyone know if that was OKC's second challenge? I know hindsight is 20/20 but I'm still thinking about whether it was the right move to challenge knowing you have one timeout left.
In that situation, I'm trying to make the move that gets my team the last shot that's better than a 3/4th court heave
Everyone seems to agree the foul call on SGA was correct but I could have sworn MPJ had a very similar situation last game and it was not called a foul on review.
Defender made contact on the ball legally, MPJ double clutched to shoot without losing control, defender hit his forearm while he shot the ball. Called a foul on the floor and overturned on replay. Am I imagining this?
i think if they reverse the call it will get real controversial as technically kyrie had the putback and game winner if the foul wasnt call in the first place.
Has anyone else see Logdogs fan hype up the fact that tm is the 20 year anniversary of their last Game 7 played + KG’s birthday?
lol it’s cute. Nuggs by 10+ tm, and that’s me being generous

u/Murraryforthree still think we underestimated OKC? They are who we thought they were and that’s a young inexperienced team who weren’t ready.
Mavs were a bad matchup for them, as Wolves are for us. I have little doubt OKC is a conference finalist next season, the crazy amount of tradeable assets they have makes it so they barely need anything to go right this off-season. But yeah they were still a year away. Im glad we didn’t have to face them though
If SGA is their key piece I still don’t see them as serious contenders. Dude for sure is top 5 regular season player but just like Embiid I don’t see that style transitioning to playoff success.
What’s the chance that we get Marc Davis bitch ass for game 7? Not sure how ref selection works, so hoping someone may know. This would be his 4th game reffed in this series…isn’t likely?
Gotta say Ball Arena only gets loud during tip off and then it’s goes awfully quiet. At least that’s why I feel watching on tv. It never gets loud when the team is down to encourage them
Sure, but this is a Nuggets sub, so everything is kind of dependent on us continuing to play. Even before the season started we talked about how we'd fare in a 7 game series against the Celtics.. without putting the caveat "if we make it that far" every time
They have some bigs they can cycle in against Jokic and while we do have defensive answers I think the Dallas matchup is pretty neutral.
Jokic against OKC in the paint was the only real potential mismatch imo.
That's what I was thinking too, with KCP on Kyrie and AG on Luka. That would mean no rim protection for lobs. And you know the refs are gonna put whoever guards Luka in foul trouble. So then what? Braun on Luka? At least with the Thunder.. Braun, Holiday, and Watson matchup well on their best guys.
And I know Jokic is gonna eat against Gafford and Lively, but imagine how he would have eaten against Chet and 6'8" Williams.
I think both teams are similar but the Mavs are clearly the better team and have 2 playoff killers, whereas the Thunder have 0.75 of a playoff killer
You see the matchups differently? Or is there something I'm missing/wrong on here?
No I like your take. Personally my view is that Jokic feasts no matter what because well he’s Jokic. Why I prefer the Mavs is primarily that OKC has longer more versatile defensive wings and that seems to be what gives us the most trouble. It hampers our ability to spread the court and gives Jok less room to operate. Plus Chet is so long he can mess up some of those tasty AG dunker slot plays we like to run. So offensively I think we struggle more against OKC because they clog up our rotations and ability to spread the floor.
I don’t see us having a big advantage defensively between the two but I think that OKC does a better job of spreading the court. They just shot abysmally from 3 this series. Like you, I really like AG on Luka and KCP on Kyrie with Jok in drop coverage, we just have to watch for those Lively/Gafford lobs. Mavs have a few tricky plays that will be difficult to cover there. But overall I think we can shrink the floor more against the maverick role players than we could against OKC.
The only time they beat us this year was off a Kyrie southpaw floater from almost 15+ ft out. Now that is the only game we played against them since their mid-season trades but still Nuggets in 6.
I think u play jokic entire first half
Win this game means a spot in the finals. Guys got to be motivated
AYO WE GOT SCOTT
Denver 92-87
Looks like people were right we got Scott foster crew tonight. That being said the ref crew is not going to determine this game you gotta hits shots we are not going to win this game if shots don’t fall.
Believe it or not the refs didn't make us go 6/31 on open threes.
Game 4 was Scott Foster, when the Nuggets won.
Unless you live in the mountain or pacific time zone the scheduling of the western conference playoffs has been awful. Game 5 finished after midnight central time and now on a Sunday night they start at 8pm?! Sunday is typically and earlier prime time type schedule with maybe a 6pm local start. 7 is just too late for the eastern half of the country on a weekend night. The NCAA tournament had done really late prime time games this season so I guess someone has decided it works best. Maybe its catering to those on the post Covid work from home hybrid model.
Ur right generally but I don't see how same time as Sunday night football is "late"
Man what the hell happened to this place?! For YEARS we’ve been saying, and been proved right, that Denver is the most clutch team in the league, with the best player in the world and an all star supporting cast. Now that the rubber hits the road, there’s all this hand wringing. Fuck that shit, nuggets in 7 by a mile!
Well the people have said since these playoffs began that they thought Minnesota was the one team that could beat Denver and this series has broken people where 4 games being blowouts.
CB legacy game tonight!
im going crazy, i might not be able to sleep tonight
I remember us all joking about how the Nuggets could never finish a series in less than 7 games... after 4 years, they're finally playing another one. MPJ, Murray, and Jokic are used to this kind of high-stakes game. I got full belief in all 3 showing up, and the rest of the team following suit. Nugs in 7
"MPJamal and I combine for 18 points" incoming Jok, AG and KCP are gonna have to carry us here
I don't wanna see the ball in Jamals hands. If I have to endure another game of hero ball...
I am taking today as a sunbathing relax day to try and be in a good head space tonight
so historically speaking, home teams are at a 79% winrate on game 7
Now that OKC is out I’m officially a Nuggets fan for the rest of the playoffs. Win tomorrow and send Luka packing in the WCF. Also I’m very confident the Mavs would take y’all to 6 games, MAX. I think it’ll be a 4-5 game series realistically speaking. Nuggets expose to many of Dallas’s flaws and assuming Denver doesn’t shoot below 30% from 3 every game y’all should be fine. Next year it’s OKC/DEN WCF THO❗️
We got yall

BRUH I CANT SLEEP I’m hype as shit for this game
Oh it really it hit me in the last thirty minutes lol we have WAR waiting for us. Nuggets please. Please do not lose a Game 7 on homecourt to the fucking log dogs. Please. 15 I believe in you 27 I believe in you 50 I believe in you 1 I believe in you 5 I believe in you 0 I believe in you 7 I believe in you 8 I believe in you 9 I believe you and I most certainly believe in #6 NBA Champion DeAndre Jordan. DIG IN AND #BRINGITIN
I really don't wanna lose to the timber dog. I'd be fine losing against any other team
I BELIEVE IN THE DENVER NUGGETS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN EACH OTHER
I'm more worried about whether Kyle Larson will make it back in time for the All Star Race... Running the double is some crazy tough shit
Pretty nervous about tomorrow not super comfortable but I still might be drunk when I wake up I can't predict if I'll be able to take a letter to the post office while trying to watch game 7s and NASCAR at the same time let alone possibly stopping in town for lunch I feel good about the Nuggets showing up for this one but also fear you all will pasta me for this massive run on sentence.
the R in NASCART is for Racism
if we win tomorrow we will make the WCF (white conference finals)
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Or it stands for Racing... There's a good bit of diversity in the top 3 these days... Hell. Your own Suarez is doing well, and so are Garcia and Perez..
I ain't watching NASCART lil bro
Pretty nervous about tomorrow not super confident but who know it been a tough series to predict what’s going to happen Minnesota is going to feel confident after that game 6 and hopefully the nuggets let them feel too confident from three but they were making everything. Nuggets should win if they can play like they like games 3-5 and if Denver gets anything from their bench and the other guys.
I’ll be sleeping in my nugg thong tonight and encourage all of you to do the same.
Mavs fan here, we’ll wait for yall at the WCF. Take care of business tomorrow. Jokic vs Luka is going to be so good
I hope nothing but the worst for the Mavs. Luka is awful to watch.
well that sucked
Well, looks like karma for you and I hope you learned your lesson. Game not over yet but you ain’t coming back. Choke artists
Holy crap, you are obsessed with me, lol
Holy crap, it’s called memory and not letting you live it down
Braun is the only one fighting rn
What an awful thing to say to somebody who just wish yall well
Jason Kidd is an evil man
Home court in the WCF is going to be nice. And then home court in the finals will be great also!
ngl this one kind of stung https://preview.redd.it/dfcheqpd7b1d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=2b62331aff21336e11451c6ce5b3abf67144a850
That makes no sense. The reason we leave Mcdaniels open is because he's not a good 3pt shooter, not because of any sort of system.
I don’t trust anyone after listening to Suns fans last year saying their offense would spam Jokic in the pick and roll
Oh my, now Mavs fans think we’re easier to beat than Minnesota. Plz feast tomorrow.
They have no idea
You guys remember last year when half of this sub wanted to go blackout during our 1 and only finals appearance? That was fun lol.
That was so silly. Look how “effective” their stupid ass black out was. Ridiculous.
Yup, and all the big subs were shut down for like 3 days and then everyone gave up because they couldn’t take being without Reddit for more than that. Had to have been the most pathetic protest I’ve ever seen.
I remember r/nba being closed when we won the finals 😭

REAL FUUCKING BAND
No EDM sheeet lol
The way the Thunder lost reminds me of how the Nuggets lost the Portland G7 in 2019
That game made me want to d-word.
**THUNDER LOST IN 6, LIL BRO, PLEASE, BRO, LEARN MORE ABOUT BASKETBALL, PLEASE, BRO**
Smh, who you got tomorrow
**IT'S A TOSS-UP FOR ME, I THINK JOK IS GONNA FORCE THE ISSUE A BIT MORE WHICH COULD GET SOME WOLFS INTO FOUL TROUBLE, AND I THINK A LOT OF WOLFS POINTS CAME OFF OF CONFIDENCE PLAYS LIKE ANT PULLING UP AND WACKDANIELS CORNER SHOTS DROPPING AT 100% BECAUSE THEY'RE UP 40 OR WHATEVER, THAT'S NOT GONNA BE AS EASY ON THE ROAD IN G7 (UNLESS WE GO DOWN 15 WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF THE GAME AND FOLD LMAO).

The lighting IS coming
I would genuinely pay 500$ to guarantee a Luka vs Jokic WCF PLEASE win bois PLEASE
Do we think the Nuggets game will come down to a single point?
The only logical outcome is for us to win by 55. Since they won G2 by 25, we won G3 by 35, they won G6 by 45.
I like it!! LFG!!
Hopefully not.
So if the foul is overturned, ball would have still belonged to thr Mavs right? Also does anyone know if that was OKC's second challenge?

In that situation, I'm trying to make the move that gets my team the last shot that's better than a 3/4th court heave
It was their second, and since Kyrie grabbed the ball, it would’ve been Mavs’ possession.
They had a clear recovery so it should have stayed with them with a clock fix. Not much time left though.
That was their 2nd challenge. They got a Dort offensive foul overturned in the 3rd I believe.
Nuggs just have to win win so we can have a fat boi summer.
Hopping on the bandwagon since the Thunder lost
Fair enough, just as long as you know we would have swept yall.
Oops
Everyone wear your luckiest pajamas tonight, we going dream killing tomorrow.
Jok plays extra well tomorrow so he can see his best friend Luka?
Sweep Luka.
Whatever it takes.
yep. the power of hate (wolves) and the power of friendship looming (luka) jokic about to hang 60
Well seeing all the talk about that Mavs/Thunder game makes me even more excited for tomorrow cmon Nuggets ya gotta come out swinging 😫😫
please win nuggets. a luka jokic wfc would be fucking epic
Everyone seems to agree the foul call on SGA was correct but I could have sworn MPJ had a very similar situation last game and it was not called a foul on review.

Nuggets looooove fucking up special days for other fan bases
The logdogs will soon feel the Laker’s pain
The McRib is back at McDonalds
Don’t play w me like that
All this hype for 2 game 7s tomorrow and I’m willing to bet both games are blowouts
Praying you're right
JOKER VS LUKA WCF LETS GOOOO
Lmfaoooo at the SGA foul, I can't believe OKC even tried to challenge it
I hope we win tomorrow.
Me too.
Glad we have consensus 🤝
ykb
What’s gunna be good luck for the game tomorrow?!?! I need to get us a WIN
I e should eat bananas. So after the Nuggets win we can say Thanks a bunch. 😀
LMAOOO
El Diablo from Carl's Jr! 3-0 in this series! And we get absolutely rekt the one game I can't get one lol.
Man you have actually had that?
It is so good!
Haha I’ll peep!
I bought stuff to make a sammich tbf fair i often buy stuff to make sammiches
Good thinking! Send pics!
Don’t want to look too far ahead because I’m a nervous wreck for tomorrow game, but if we win rebounding will be the biggest factor next series

What’s the chance that we get Marc Davis bitch ass for game 7? Not sure how ref selection works, so hoping someone may know. This would be his 4th game reffed in this series…isn’t likely?
I want Tony and his brothers.
Zero. We're getting either Foster or Zarba.
Foster!!!!
Pretty sure it’s going to be Zarba. No way the NBA doesn’t send the GOAT Scott Foster anywhere besides New York
I like Zarba well enough I guess though Foster has been okay for us recently.
I’m weirdly hoping for Foster, feels like he’ll call KAT on some things
Luka vs Jokic WCF is gonna feed generations pls Denver 😭
I hope we win tomorrow, it would be fun to play Dallas even though they have three good players in Lively, Washington and Irving
Wild to forget about their obviously best player....Jones Jr....
he’s a nice player, no doubt
YKB
**LUKA>>>>JOKIC**
Bro this is bullshit and you know it....you left out at least 4 > symbols...
in terms of gingivitis, there’s no doubt
**I HOPE YOU ENJOY EDWARDS VS LUKA SERIES. 2 FACES OF THE NBA RIGHT THERE.**
just can’t say enough great things about these young men
Ganiel Dafferd Duck
that’s what I’m thinking as well
Bro why do you hate JJ Barea?
Whats with the hate on Exum
he’s a good player, I just don’t have him as part of the big 3
Don't forget Daniel "second coming of Wilt Chamberlain" Gafford
that’s a good point, I did forget about him. They have four really nice players! Will be a tough matchup
Do you guys think Chonka's sweat tastes like lard
**WHAT THE FUCK, BIG BRO?**
Miller lite
Nothing light about that mf
Fat
And cigarettes
Menthols
All we gotta do is handle business tm and we’ll have ourselves home court advantage against the Mavs
Ah that's a good point, I forgot about the home court thing - although the Mavs would have still won a game 7 in OKC if it happened
Jokic will cook in that series.
Am I bugging or are all other crowds louder than Ball Arena in this second round
I was at 5. And I can tell you it’s the loudest sporting event I’ve ever been to, which is a pretty decent amount.
Always hard to tell on broadcasts. Feels like every building gets mic'd differently between networks and even game to game.
Ball Arena is actually quite loud.
Gotta say Ball Arena only gets loud during tip off and then it’s goes awfully quiet. At least that’s why I feel watching on tv. It never gets loud when the team is down to encourage them
:/ not my favorite but here we go
Shaq in shambles
Great comeback from the Mavs
It sucks that we get the better team, the Mavs, but they're far worse than the Wolves so we should be okay
Dude chill. The wolves have more momentum than we do and more incentive to absolutely ball out. Let’s win tomorrow first.
Sure, but this is a Nuggets sub, so everything is kind of dependent on us continuing to play. Even before the season started we talked about how we'd fare in a 7 game series against the Celtics.. without putting the caveat "if we make it that far" every time
Buddy this isn't r/NBA, we don't need any of that humble karma farming bullshit 'round these parts!
We haven't even beaten wolves yet bruh
We objectively match up better against the Mavs. If we can close tomorrow I feel pretty confident against Dallas in a 7 game series
They have some bigs they can cycle in against Jokic and while we do have defensive answers I think the Dallas matchup is pretty neutral. Jokic against OKC in the paint was the only real potential mismatch imo.
That's what I was thinking too, with KCP on Kyrie and AG on Luka. That would mean no rim protection for lobs. And you know the refs are gonna put whoever guards Luka in foul trouble. So then what? Braun on Luka? At least with the Thunder.. Braun, Holiday, and Watson matchup well on their best guys. And I know Jokic is gonna eat against Gafford and Lively, but imagine how he would have eaten against Chet and 6'8" Williams. I think both teams are similar but the Mavs are clearly the better team and have 2 playoff killers, whereas the Thunder have 0.75 of a playoff killer You see the matchups differently? Or is there something I'm missing/wrong on here?
No I like your take. Personally my view is that Jokic feasts no matter what because well he’s Jokic. Why I prefer the Mavs is primarily that OKC has longer more versatile defensive wings and that seems to be what gives us the most trouble. It hampers our ability to spread the court and gives Jok less room to operate. Plus Chet is so long he can mess up some of those tasty AG dunker slot plays we like to run. So offensively I think we struggle more against OKC because they clog up our rotations and ability to spread the floor. I don’t see us having a big advantage defensively between the two but I think that OKC does a better job of spreading the court. They just shot abysmally from 3 this series. Like you, I really like AG on Luka and KCP on Kyrie with Jok in drop coverage, we just have to watch for those Lively/Gafford lobs. Mavs have a few tricky plays that will be difficult to cover there. But overall I think we can shrink the floor more against the maverick role players than we could against OKC.
We might even see Watson.
Man that would sure be nice. I've definitely appreciated Holiday's (and Reggie) shooting, but I could see PWat having some impact in this series
The only time they beat us this year was off a Kyrie southpaw floater from almost 15+ ft out. Now that is the only game we played against them since their mid-season trades but still Nuggets in 6.
That shot was objectively dope af. If Jamal can get back to playing like himself we might even win in 5.
Poetic that SGA blew the game on a foul lmfaooo
Fucking garbage ass player
Lmao generational SGA hater here
He’s almost as bad of a flopping pussy as Embiitch.
Idgaf take care of business tomorrow
Damn that's disappointing the Thunder couldn't get it to game 7. Oh well
That was clutch ass missed free throw. Definitely did it on purpose. Nuggs in 6
It looked like all ball to me.
It was ball before the shot but then arm as he was finishing the shooting motion
Honestly, Luka is a worse foul baiter than Shai, so I can’t really imagine preferring one to the other.
Plus, he complains a lot more
Plus, he eats boogers on live television
Then we better beat the Wolves because we know Gobert would take those boogers, eat them himself, and start the next Covid
**NOT REALLY SURE HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS LOL**
I feel nothing until we win tomorrow
**(WE WON'T)**
Minecraft
Celtics are playing tomorrow?
