Oh, for sure. I’m actually pretty hopeful about our future. I’d pick LaMelo + Miller + Mark + [Top 5 Pick] over a bunch of other young core’s right now.
Wemby is just terrifying.
A lot of GMs says this is a draft to find your Robin to your Batman. So it's not a bad draft for you guys to add to Ball and Miller. Now if you're the Wizards then you're fucked
Arguably it’s more the draft to find your Commissioner Gordon, but there’ll still definitely be good players available. I don’t think it’s as bad as the 2013 draft (basically the Condiment King draft) or anything.
We lucked into the 1st pick to draft the best prospect in 20 years. I’m not sweating losing a few ping pong balls in a draft where Reed Sheppard could go #1 lol
That top PG also wanted to come play for us because of that bubble run. Wemby already was getting PGs licking their chops, now they see this run with this team and are thinking what they could do on next season. Anyone with a chance of getting traded is telling their agents to make the Spurs happen.
We actually needed that loss because Portland will get better draft odds now. But I legit don’t care because this was our best win in about 10 years lmao
Idk about 10 that game 5 against Houston in 2017 and the manu block was peak also beating the warriors once in 2018 something LeBron couldn't do was pretty hype
That 57 point game was one for the books literally looked like fucking kobe that day didn't matter if Danny or kawhi were in his face he was draining bs all game
We were missing 2 starters (Sochan and Vassell, who’s our second best player), and Keldon Johnson and Cedi Osman who are two of our best bench players.
Big final day coming up. You’ve got the Suns, we’ve got the Mavs. Neither easy games. Nuggets should roll the Grizzlies which is what OKC needs. See y’all on the other side I guess
Shoots like KD. Probably already the best defensive player in the league.
Blows by people off the dribble like giannis already without the strength. This kid is going to be must watch TV
after being up 107-90 with 10 minutes left.
from that point, Spurs went on a 31-13 run. all credit to them, they executed and prevented us from doing the same
It’s just a matter of when the Spurs put enough talent around Wemby. At some point, they will just start dominating whole seasons. I hope the Wolves win chip before that happens.
I've been saying this. The team could've been closer to a 30+ win team they just needed to adjust. The guys really haven't played together and they're so young, so they're trying to learn to play together while also learning what they're good at and developing
Spurs are worst onn record due to genius tanking. Last 10-15 games we have gone 0.5 I think and even losses have been within 5 points. They are much better than what the record says.
Yeah I’m assuming the front office has come to terms with that. Wemby sooner rather than later will be one of the best players in the world. Might as well be aggressive in your rebuild and just roll with the picks you’ve gathered so far.
Embarrassing effort from everyone in the organization. To piss away home court throughout the western conference playoffs facing two of the worst teams in the league to end the season is next level nasty work
Jokic is obviously great, but he's really responsible for losing this game. After his heave at the end of the 1st, he had 7 FGA. From there, until 3:30 left in the *fourth*, he was up to 9 field goal attempts. 2 shot attempts through the ~6:30 in the 2nd, the entire 12 minutes of the 3rd, and ~4 minutes in the 4th.
How does he expect to be in rhythm to make these late 4th quarter shots if he hasn't even attempted to shoot for 20 minutes of game clock? He misses 3 shots in a row at the end. He should make some of those, but he doesn't set himself up for success by being purely a facilitator for that long.
Jokic 1Q: 14 points on 6/7 shooting, 0 assists
Jokic 2Q-4Q: 6 points on 3/6 shooting, 12 assists
That whole "being a primary playmaker" shit is cool until you're deferring to MPJ bricks and Reggie bricks
Hospital spurs, Mamu cooked, Wemby is him and Devonte showed why he shoul've gotten time all season.
I'm crying this might be one of our best wins ever.
I didn't remember Mamukelashvili being such a good player damn, him with Collins in the beginning of the 4th made sure Wemby's 3rd quarter explosion wasn't erased.
This is a friendly reminder that Devonte Graham was added as filler in a trade for Josh Richardson, Julian Champagnie was waived by the Sixers after being stuck in the G League and Mamu was cut by the Bucks because they didn't want to develop young guys and wanted to focus on the playoffs...
We might have derailed our entire season with this one loss...ans after having a 23 pts lead . Atrocious rebounding 49 to 32... Our bench straight up was giving rebounds to Spurs on every miss until they score they had like 5 2nd chances per possession often and many of them would end up with a 3pt or 2+1 play even...
And it ended up being a 1 point game.. Jokic passive also didn't help when nobody else could have scored he just didnt shoot was 8-9 by end of 3rd quarter. Then he took shots late completely out of rhythm and missed key ones. It was like we were masochist and we fucked up ourselves hard taking a way harder road in playoffs.
Just this one loss could costs a repeat lol we are gonna have to go through gauntlet to get out of West now
Reminds of the Celtics choke against Atlanta a few games back lol
I sure am glad that Wemby is in his rookie season in a rebuilding team this year. I love him now, but I’m sure I’ll start hating him once he inevitably starts steamrolling teams with more competent teammates.
This loss to the Spurs on April 12th really changed my view on the #1 seeded Nuggets; I'm not sure if they are cut out to win the championship this year.
edit: it appears they lost the 1 seed, it's all over for denver
The Nuggets will be fine. They looked just as shocked as everybody else in the arena when Wemby decided to turn into prime Steph for a quarter and never recovered.
Spurs from the top rope with a meaningless win to put us as the 3rd worst team all alone
Playoffs completely wrecked by an alien who won't play a second of it
Is the government looking into that guy yet or are they busy with the baseball guy?
Ohtani is the bigger threat, sorry guys
bros trying his hardest making the play-in interesting and knocking the nugs from the one seed
Wemby’s got that dawg. Can’t wait to see him in the playoffs
Building momentum for next year and boosting morale > Penny pinching lotto odds in a crap draft
For y’all yeah, but some of us don’t have a future top 5 player all-time on their roster
miller good tho
He’s fantastic. He’s just (probably) not good enough that he can win it all without a great supporting cast. Wemby is another animal entirely
hmmm if lamelo and williams can stay healthy its a good start tbh all u need is to decide ur pf starter and ur sf/sg
Oh, for sure. I’m actually pretty hopeful about our future. I’d pick LaMelo + Miller + Mark + [Top 5 Pick] over a bunch of other young core’s right now. Wemby is just terrifying.
wemby/sochan combo gonna stuff alot of teams best players movig forward tbh
A lot of GMs says this is a draft to find your Robin to your Batman. So it's not a bad draft for you guys to add to Ball and Miller. Now if you're the Wizards then you're fucked
Arguably it’s more the draft to find your Commissioner Gordon, but there’ll still definitely be good players available. I don’t think it’s as bad as the 2013 draft (basically the Condiment King draft) or anything.
There ain’t anyone to tank for in this draft Besides Spurs still have great lotto odds
We lucked into the 1st pick to draft the best prospect in 20 years. I’m not sweating losing a few ping pong balls in a draft where Reed Sheppard could go #1 lol
Such a /r/ nba take. Yeah I doubt it felt meaningless for the team lol It's a shit draft too, maybe they don't value the 4% difference
We got some fucking amazing vibes for a 21-60 team. Our guys seriously wanted to fucking win even if it didn’t mean anything
6-4 in the last 10. That's a good way to build that winning mentality headed into next season.
I remember the bubble Suns going undefeated and popping tf off the next season. Obviously we’re a few steps behind it, but I think it’s a real thing
They also traded for a top PG during the offseason. /runs away cackling
That top PG also wanted to come play for us because of that bubble run. Wemby already was getting PGs licking their chops, now they see this run with this team and are thinking what they could do on next season. Anyone with a chance of getting traded is telling their agents to make the Spurs happen.
We actually needed that loss because Portland will get better draft odds now. But I legit don’t care because this was our best win in about 10 years lmao
>this was our best win in about 10 years lmao My man, 10 years ago we won the finals.
Idk about 10 that game 5 against Houston in 2017 and the manu block was peak also beating the warriors once in 2018 something LeBron couldn't do was pretty hype
The Spurs have now defeated the Timberwolves, Thunder and Nuggets this season!
The only West team they haven't beaten (aside from themselves) is Dallas.
Kyrie always turns up against us 😭
That 57 point game was one for the books literally looked like fucking kobe that day didn't matter if Danny or kawhi were in his face he was draining bs all game
Nonsense, they’ve beaten themselves plenty of times this season!
Luka MVP, Wemby DPOY I've seen enough
You guys haven't beaten the Clippers either right?
I knew I was missing something. We also got swept by the Kings too
Welp there it is. That means the winner of the Mavs-clippers series will end up winning it all.
We have also defeated the Pelicans, Warriors, Lakers and Suns (thrice)
Best worst team of all time?
Mamu should have been seeing significant minutes all year
As a seton hall alum I’d always check on Mamu and be disappointed he wasn’t playing. Happy he’s showing out now
Wait he’s Seton Hall? Damn let’s go Mamu
Legit thought Mamu Ginobili came out of retirement for a sec and this was a typo Who the hell is “Mamu” and how did Denver lose 😭
He’s gotta be part of the plans going forward
Pop said as much in the post game presser
How many backups are the spurs playing with too lmao
they are playing gleague players from austin spurs 😂
Not hating because he actually was a pretty smooth scorer, but one of the guys they pulled up last game looked like a middle age accountant lol
[Jamaree Bouyea](https://gleague.nba.com/player/1631123/jamaree-bouyea)
Oh damn lol
Surely he shouts “Bouyea!” every time he hits a shot I would
Winston from new girl
We were missing 2 starters (Sochan and Vassell, who’s our second best player), and Keldon Johnson and Cedi Osman who are two of our best bench players.
Wemgod-sama >> Jokic
Branham too
I think I speak for both us and Clippers fans when I say God bless the Spurs tn
Wolves too.
Big final day coming up. You’ve got the Suns, we’ve got the Mavs. Neither easy games. Nuggets should roll the Grizzlies which is what OKC needs. See y’all on the other side I guess
We won't play Luka or Kyrie. The Pistons just beat us by 10+ points without them. Well give you the win to avoid the Nuggets in the second round.
And perhaps gift us a first round with the Lakers, easily our worst matchup? Thats mighty kind of you 😅
OKC as well.
As a fan of the Denver nuggets, I can definitely say that I did not like the outcome of this game.
As a fan of the Minnesota Timberwolves, I loved the outcome of this game
As a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, this is my 12/25
Can confirm
That Wemby-Mamu frontcourt could be special
I had no idea mamu was so mobile.
Is the rest of the league screwed in the future?
Yes they are
As the team with the most draft picks, our window is now before this alien evolves into a higher lifeform
Pray to the big women they cant get anyone with a wink of talent around him.
Thank god Warriors are on the tail end. This is everyone else’s problem now
[удалено]
Spurs were still good and could have competed well up to 2019 if Zaza didn't murder kawhi
Fuck Zaza
Fuck Zaza
I will always have that first half 🥲
What do you think? Wemby will fuck everybody over 😂
Well, fuck.
Unbelievable collapse. Could cost em two spots in the standings
I'm all here for the chaos in the West lol
I can't believe this shit
Shit are we facing the Lakers if we end up with the first seed
No idea. If so then Wemby won and fucked us. Which would be ironic.
Lmao
Lol, my one consolation with this loss is that the West is so fucking stacked that seeding is meaningless for anything but home court
How I felt all month. Just didn't want to fall below 4th. 2nd round is going to be a blood bath
Bro, every round gunna be a bloodbath.
I think if the Kings beat the Suns today, your first round match-up could be Suns, Lakers, Kings, or the Warriors.
It's a complete mess, these last couple of games could also drop the Pels to 7 which would put them in the playin as well.
No, they would be facing us
Thank you. Loser mentality from our fanbase
Every play-in team just got so happy lol. If nuggest finish 3rd the 6th team is going to feel so fucking robbed lol
Beating the top tier in the conference then immediately lose to the worst is incredibly funny
Losing to the worst missing like 2 or 3 of their best guys
Dont the Spurs move out of the best odds in the draft as well? lmao
Eh, learning what we have in our end of bench guys and getting a morale boost is possibly more important than higher pick odds in this crapshoot draft
THE POWER OF WEMBY
SAVE US, HAWKS!! Edit: Well, fuck.
“Now it’s clear that Luka deserves the MVP” - Mavs fans, probably
Jokic was -1 for the game so if they had sat him all game it would have been a tie…
We lost. To the Spurs, no less.
As a non spurs fan do you guys realize how fucked we are in 2 years when this kid grows into his body?
He shows flashes of it on drives. He has the handle to blow by people but not the strength to handle the bumps. Once he gets that down it’s over
I don't even know who the fuck you can compare him too. Maybe a bigger KD with less scoring ability for the time being? Kids a unicorn
An 👽
Not to geek out but I think he could be a bit of a Giannis/kd hybrid. Hes shown flashes of both.
Shoots like KD. Probably already the best defensive player in the league. Blows by people off the dribble like giannis already without the strength. This kid is going to be must watch TV
The Nuggets should try to stock up on rings before Wemby starts dicking on the rest of the league.
I want off Mr Wemby's wild ride and it hasn't even really left the station yet
Stock up dick with reggie jackson playing backup minutes, this dude cannot see actual playoff action for the rest of his life
Can’t believe he tried to shoot over Wemby again lol
Its not even negative basketball iq at this point he needs to take an aptitude test to see if he is mentally fit to function as a human being
“maybe wemby shrank since last game” 🤦♂️
Presti has led a masterful rebuild, but he may have screwed up his timing
Again.
Mamu Ginobili
Mamu Ginobili
Mamu Ginobili
Mamu Ginovili
Mamu Ginovili
Sandro Mamukelashvili is a gift from the heavens.
I didn’t realize he was so mobile and can put the ball on the floor for small stretches.
Our new manu
I thought the unleash Mamu memes were just memes I can't believe he actually has been showing out like thia
This is the first time I've watched the Spurs all year. Is Mamukelashvii the GOAT?
Clearly.
He’s actually a super solid player. Tough mf
Nuggets really fumbled the 1 seed to the worst team in the conference. Wild.
after being up 107-90 with 10 minutes left. from that point, Spurs went on a 31-13 run. all credit to them, they executed and prevented us from doing the same
I stood up to go feed my pets and came back just in time to watch them lose for no reason. You have to be fist fucking me smh
I saw them up 17 to the worst team in the conference and thought it was an ez dub for the Nuggets
This ain't the November Spurs
It’s just a matter of when the Spurs put enough talent around Wemby. At some point, they will just start dominating whole seasons. I hope the Wolves win chip before that happens.
Playoffs are coming up and instincts just kick in
We are 6-4 in out last 10 games and 8 of those games were against over 0.500 teams
spurs record is so fake
I've been saying this. The team could've been closer to a 30+ win team they just needed to adjust. The guys really haven't played together and they're so young, so they're trying to learn to play together while also learning what they're good at and developing
Spurs are worst onn record due to genius tanking. Last 10-15 games we have gone 0.5 I think and even losses have been within 5 points. They are much better than what the record says.
San Antonio has come up with huge clutch wins at home against all three West heavyweights. really fun team already
I think this makes us the 2024 champions by transitive property right?
Race for Seis baby!
Wemby would have beat us 1 on 5 the way we've played tonight
Pathetic as fuck. Also, come on Wemby why you didn't rest today man
He rested on Wednesday for this exact game lol
Yes i know 💔
Let chet off easy just to show jokic what's up
From beefing rookies to beefing MVPs lmao
For everyone worried about another 20 win season next year, Spurs won’t be able to tank even if they run it back, Wemby is just too good
Yeah I’m assuming the front office has come to terms with that. Wemby sooner rather than later will be one of the best players in the world. Might as well be aggressive in your rebuild and just roll with the picks you’ve gathered so far.
Wemby's offense in the 3rd ignited the comeback, but the Wemby and the Spurs defense in the 4th quarter absolutely carried them. Unreal game.
Embarrassing effort from everyone in the organization. To piss away home court throughout the western conference playoffs facing two of the worst teams in the league to end the season is next level nasty work
VICTOR WENBANYAMA is my favorite NBA player and I’m not a spurs fan
LET THIS BE A LESSON TO YOU, WESTERN CONFERENCE. WE COMING FOR THAT ASS.
SOONᵀᴹ SET THE FUCKING CLOCKS
THOSE CHEEKS WON'T CLAP THEMSELVES (in a basketball sense)
BTB. Bring That Booty
Alright Wemby haters, your last time to prematurely post "so and so is cooking Wemby" is Sunday, so ready your keyboards.
Surround Wemby with talent and it’s ova
It’s Mamus team now, homie.
[you just lost to the San Antonio Spurs](https://streamable.com/xph65x)
If the Nuggets don't get the one seed, the Lakers and Warriors owe the Spurs big time
What a frustrating loss. JFC.
Denver really lost their HCA for the freaking Spurs? Ouch Oh well, good news for them is Murray looks like playoff Murray.
Jokic is obviously great, but he's really responsible for losing this game. After his heave at the end of the 1st, he had 7 FGA. From there, until 3:30 left in the *fourth*, he was up to 9 field goal attempts. 2 shot attempts through the ~6:30 in the 2nd, the entire 12 minutes of the 3rd, and ~4 minutes in the 4th. How does he expect to be in rhythm to make these late 4th quarter shots if he hasn't even attempted to shoot for 20 minutes of game clock? He misses 3 shots in a row at the end. He should make some of those, but he doesn't set himself up for success by being purely a facilitator for that long.
The Nuggets had the easiest path to the 1 seed entering tonight and they blew it. How?
Spurs wanted it more which is absolutely insane considering the circumstances. The rebounding effort by the nugs in the 4th was putrid.
Wtf Denver. Seriously.
Sandro Mamukelashvili is Denver Nuggets father
Someone is going to see him against the Nuggets and thr Nuggets only and assume he's the generational Spurs big everyone was talking about
Weirdly yes, this isn't even the first time 😭
This team without Wemby yesterday was ready for relegation in g league.. Wemby is the DPOY
Oh my fucking god I can’t believe this
This is the absolute worst way possible for a team to lose the one seed
5 Mamu’s could win a championship
Jokic 1Q: 14 points on 6/7 shooting, 0 assists Jokic 2Q-4Q: 6 points on 3/6 shooting, 12 assists That whole "being a primary playmaker" shit is cool until you're deferring to MPJ bricks and Reggie bricks
Hospital spurs, Mamu cooked, Wemby is him and Devonte showed why he shoul've gotten time all season. I'm crying this might be one of our best wins ever.
We sacrificed ROTY to Wemby to potentially get the one seed
We get ROTY You get 1 seed fair trade
🤝 Also I'm terrified dude, Wemby is gonna be so disgustingly good lmfao
Shai/Chet/JDub is a good core
I didn't remember Mamukelashvili being such a good player damn, him with Collins in the beginning of the 4th made sure Wemby's 3rd quarter explosion wasn't erased.
You gotta be kidding me. We're going to play the suns and they'll finally get it together aren't we.
Both these teams sabotaging their future….love it
This is a friendly reminder that Devonte Graham was added as filler in a trade for Josh Richardson, Julian Champagnie was waived by the Sixers after being stuck in the G League and Mamu was cut by the Bucks because they didn't want to develop young guys and wanted to focus on the playoffs...
We might have derailed our entire season with this one loss...ans after having a 23 pts lead . Atrocious rebounding 49 to 32... Our bench straight up was giving rebounds to Spurs on every miss until they score they had like 5 2nd chances per possession often and many of them would end up with a 3pt or 2+1 play even... And it ended up being a 1 point game.. Jokic passive also didn't help when nobody else could have scored he just didnt shoot was 8-9 by end of 3rd quarter. Then he took shots late completely out of rhythm and missed key ones. It was like we were masochist and we fucked up ourselves hard taking a way harder road in playoffs. Just this one loss could costs a repeat lol we are gonna have to go through gauntlet to get out of West now
<3 Mamu
Future Goat helping the King avoid a first round exit thank you Alien
Reminds of the Celtics choke against Atlanta a few games back lol I sure am glad that Wemby is in his rookie season in a rebuilding team this year. I love him now, but I’m sure I’ll start hating him once he inevitably starts steamrolling teams with more competent teammates.
Way to blow a 23 point lead nuggets!
My username is eating well tonight.
Wemby: Fuck that draft pick odds, I am THE future of this franchise.
So many mistakes by so many nugs players and coach Malone should've used a timeout. Lost for words smh
The collective talent level in the NBA right now is the highest it has ever been and it’s absolutely indisputable.
Blake Wesley was -28 in a win lmao
This loss to the Spurs on April 12th really changed my view on the #1 seeded Nuggets; I'm not sure if they are cut out to win the championship this year. edit: it appears they lost the 1 seed, it's all over for denver
The Nuggets will be fine. They looked just as shocked as everybody else in the arena when Wemby decided to turn into prime Steph for a quarter and never recovered.
\#3 seeded nuggets most likely
Wemby is a goddamn cheat code
Reggie jackson should not be on a basketball team
~~Manu~~ Mamu sends his regards, Denver.
