Coming from a Curry fan who loves to watch Jokic play way way way too much. Wtf is this man on? 3 mvps and he finds a way to get better somehow. Goddamn. Goddamn. He's on The Jordan/Bron tier now and on the Jordan/Bron/Curry peak tier. If literally any other MVP candidate put up his stats, the hype would be unreal. But this man has made excellence a 9 to 5. He needs to get his flowers on the regular man, we are watching an artist at his prime. Ps: a Curry/Jokic pick and roll would be a top 2 sports moment mann.

Anyone trying to dump their tickets tonight and not have to go through Ticketmaster fees? I am looking for 2.

I honestly think Twolves are an easier match up this year than last.

Main reason being Russ is a bigger body to guard Ant man. CB held his own as much as he could last year but KCP really got bullied.

Ant man is amazing and really impossible to stop but CB and Russ are both very good options to put on him to try to limit him.

Donte and Randle combined probably don’t quite equal KAT imo either. Donte adds shooting but doesn’t have the defensive presence of a NAW or McDaniels. Don’t know if he gets many minutes in playoffs tbh. Randle isn’t a shooter like KAT and many more Turnovers.

Does anyone agree? Who do we fear more.

OKC seems obvious, they just look man for man better this year and more experienced so scarier.

Section 122 Row 8 Seats 3&4 List was: $275/ticket Looking for: $200/ticket

With Christian Braun exploding in his role and what he offered, it is inevitable that a 20+ million per year extension is inevitable. Do you think we have enough cap space next year to pay this dude?

Hi there, I'm Matt Moore, host of the Locked on Nuggets podcast, no plug. Completely separate from the other post about how much I suck -- which is fine, feedback's a gift! -- I wanted to ask this group about what you'd like to see more local coverage of, because I have some things in the works.

Obviously, DNVR is the gold standard. Those guys are amazing and the community Adam's built is absolutely phenomenal.

Bennett Durando is putting in some great stories week by week as the beat writer and Vinny Benedetto of the Gazzette is honestly super underrated as a beat writer.

Ryan Blackburn does great analysis over at Mile High Sports. Matt Brooks' work at Nuggets.com is really worth checking out if you haven't.

You've got Katy Winge with her excellent profiles for Altitude and play by play commentary.

Who are the other people, locally, you turn to for coverage? And selfishly, what are things you would like to see more of? I want to help fill in those gaps (and make it fun!). But even beyond my work, I'm curious what you want to see more of.

Matt Moore can annoy the hell out of me. Watch this video at about the 14 min. mark when they're discussing MVP. He says he's tired of covering MVP seasons for Jokic and is "tired of his lack of energy about it". WTF does Jokic's "energy" about MVP have to do with anything? Especially to the point it would make you "tired". I know some of the guy's defenders say it's good he covers the Nuggets because he brings a more objective view since he's not a Nuggets fan. To me, it's not about being a fan or not, it's just not being a dope about things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBMT2txpxWg

1. He will at some point in his career produce a 25+ point, 20+ rebound, 20+ assist triple-double.

2. Hot take because unlikely: He might get a first quarter triple-double.

3. Also hot take because unlikely: He might get a 30+ point, 20+ rebound, 20+ assist triple-double.

Thoughts?

Its late and Ive been dwelling on this for a couple months and Id like to hear your thoughts. A lot of people consider DJ to be the vibes guy for the nuggets and say its weird that he keeps getting signed when they are trying to develop young talent to play the 5, which is all understandable. But ive been thinking that his real benefit to the team is as a 7' former all-defense center to practice against jokic and develop his now bottomless bag. DJ might not be the Lob City threat he once was but he still has 85% of his ability and 1000% the experience that any of the young guys have, so its a great investment for the Nuggets to keep their star sharp.

I found an autographed Nuggets basketball that I got as a gift about 8 years ago but, I don’t remember whose autograph this is. Anyone recognize which player this was from?
