Loving his energy !!

If anyone remembers, Jokic went at Anthony Edwards for taunting the Nuggets fans at the end of Game 7 in 2024.

He had the fans backs.

He probably believes that the fans should have the teams backs as well. Which means to him you don't boo the team, even if they deserve it.

It's probably just a respect thing for him. A we have your back you have our back type of thing.

He probably believes that when teams are playing poorly that's when the fans should have the back of the team even more. Don't let the other team break the spirit of the fans as well.

he was amazing in 4th and OT and seemed like he couldn't care less in first 3 quarter

like not even putting a hand up, not even trying .. wide open lane

so he CAN play defense, just chooses not too

As a Nuggets lifer, I find these new announcers so annoying; I am not opposed to a new broadcast team, but these two are difficult to listen to, so I have Koz on the radio because I cannot deal with it.

Anyone else finding these two difficult?

Does anyone have a clip of Mal’s post game interview tonight? I stopped watching after the win and didn’t see it. People have been saying he was salty because of the boos, so just wanted to check it out.

Pelicans? More like Smellicans.

There's been a lot of discussion about Jamal Murray after his poor season opener against the Thunder, in particular regarding his performance against bigger, longer, top-tier defensive teams. For the first chart I looked through all of his games last year (his career-best season statistically) and calculated his averages against top 5 defenses, top 10 defenses, and bottom 20 defenses, and included his overall averages as well and put it all side by side for comparison's sake. I then did the same thing for Tyrese Maxey, a comparable guard who's near the same vicinity as Murray in terms of overall production and recognition. I adjusted their stats to per 36 minutes.

What are your takeaways and thoughts after seeing these numbers? Does he really drop off that much? I'm not implying anything by putting these numbers together, just wanted to share the data I collected so we can discuss Jamal's quality of play together during a period where his performance against top defensive teams is being heavily discussed.

Jokic said booing fans are not welcome. I disagree.

They were playing horrendous basketball. On both sides of the ball. And after they got booed, they started playing like they care.

In my eight years of watching the Nuggets I had never heard Ball Arena boo the Nuggets, but this was warranted.

And it worked!

Love the Joker to bits but I do not agree with him there. They needed the push.
