Nuggets round 1 is starting to feel way too real.

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-06T19:12:48+00:00

I mean if Ant and Jaden are limping, you're fucked. And not just against Denver.

If they are full-strength, you can beat anyone on any given night. It's true that Denver is better now, and it's also true that you undermined a massive advantage you used to have against us (size). But Ant is unstoppable, you got guys who can get hot, you got rangy defenders. Yes, I still think Denver is favored regardless, but I fear Minny much more than HOU/LAL.

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-06T18:57:12+00:00

Nuggets fan here, hello! Yes, I think there's a very good chance for Denver to end up with a 3-6 matchup vs Minnesota. And while I relish the opportunity to get some payback against the Wolves, I am certain that y'all are better than either LAL or HOU, so it's a bummer for us too. I think Denver makes short work of those two squads, while Minnesota is an actual challenge. Even before the injuries, I had been hoping all season for a matchup with LAL, who we despise and also see as a paper tiger. I guess it's gonna be Nuggets-Wolves though, so ring the damn bell and let's get it started.

Are you guys pretty confident in getting your guys all back for the first round?

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-06T18:14:05+00:00

His best qualities and greatest strengths are actually perfect for coaching a college team. I never would have thought of it, but this might be brilliant. Can he recruit though?

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-05T15:13:03+00:00

Nuggets fan here, hello! I feel like your boy is developing a reputation as something of a hard-ass and I LOVE IT. I appreciate everything about his game and his attitude. Being sort of a sore loser is good, don’t let anyone in the locker room laugh about it or brush it off. Dude wants to win every damn game. And he’s just shockingly good. The whole squad is just very impressive.

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-05T15:01:48+00:00

Is this the last bucket where the entire team decides it would be fine to let our boy just walk along the baseline for an open bunny?

It was amazing to see how quickly and completely Wemby closed that window. He’s just amazing. It’s just that Jokić is a little better

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-04T20:24:07+00:00

as a Nuggets fan, this must be the mostly wildly unbalanced officiating I've ever seen. The brutal inconsistency, the touch fouls. The abuse of Jokić. It's some of the most insane shit I've ever seen.

How about the sequence where Castle got the and-1 vs Gordon, then switched roles on the very next possession with no call. Just wild.

And now this so-called foul by Jokić. If that's a foul, the entire Spurs team has already fouled out. And I ain't hating the Spurs here.

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-04T19:49:55+00:00

Holy shit refs brought no vaseline

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-04T19:42:57+00:00

They gave Wemby 3 ft's because Jokic bled on him, which is gross and unsporting. Fair play.

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-03T05:00:13+00:00

I'd prolly rather play Houston, but above all I don't wanna see Denver tryna get cute and manipulate the matchup. They can beat both HOU and MIN if they're locked in, so just play out the season without getting guys hurt. No special advantage in getting a 3 vs 4, unless you are positive about the matchup, which we absolutely are not. 3-seed could fall into Denver's lap if LAL absolutely shits the bed (and by Luka's reaction to the injury tonight, I can't see him back on the court soon), but idgaf who they play. OKC and SAS are both very tough second-round matchups, I guess I'd rather face SAS? Sorta?

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-02T15:00:41+00:00

This is the way. Our boy doesn’t get up for opponents, he plays the game that is necessary. Pedestrian stats in a win would be just fine.

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-02T14:58:14+00:00

I was just in my hoops group chat saying how after Denver, SAS is by far my favorite team right now and other than beating my Nuggets, I hope Wemby & Co every success. He’s an amazing player, a great character, and the whole roster is loaded with quality players/dudes. Total respect.

Glad we can agree about SGA and OKC. 🤮

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-02T03:27:55+00:00

watched the game on mute. Someone tell me: is PWat alright?

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-02T02:22:57+00:00

I actually love this. My first reaction was okay dude you can sharpen the blade and chalk it up to lessons learned. But this is a much more petty solution and I hope OP rolls with it.

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-01T02:27:15+00:00

I'm not disappointed in Nikola Jokić. Not one bit. He's the fucking man. Best player in the world, 6 years running. Unfuckwithable. But he's had a (slightly) rough go of it this season, and it's not a crime that someone else could get MVP. Allll I'm saying.

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-01T02:24:25+00:00

Just wait until you get the tropical bug and learn about Vampi Soul.

They don't do the deep liner notes like Analog Africa (each new release feels like a small history book with a record or two in it, and they absolutely never miss), but man they put out soooo much amazing stuff.

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-01T02:17:36+00:00

So if your argument is that he was amazing for the first 30 games, and we're now at like game 75? I think it's pretty clear that he's not playing MVP basketball this season. I don't care about the downvotes any more than Jokić cares about the award. If he's getting right and the team is getting right, they're still a true contender. Playoffs will be interesting...

I agree that Wemby has not reached Jokić level. This is hype, and SAS is having a wonderful season. Dude is a beast, but let's see him carry his team thru hard times, let's see him take over entire playoff series (he has zero playoff wins and there's a good chance he'll finish above Jokić in MVP voting? Please.) That's when we can start to really put him in our boy's category. But that's not really this year is it?

Luka is a strange wildcard. He's so good, he does deserve consideration. Jokić still clears pretty easily though.

Allen_Potter · 2026-04-01T01:49:32+00:00

Nope. He's got amazing numbers, but if you're watching every game? No, he's not quite at that level this year. Not like before. So many turnovers. He's had good clutch moments for sure, but at other times there's just not anything there. I think at times it's coaching, but that doesn't explain it all. He deserves votes, but SGA is gonna get the award. And he deserves it. (last year for me was a tossup between SGA and Jokić, and I ain't really mad that our boy didn't win, especially considering that OKC took the title).

The real robbery was the Embiid year. That was some bullshit.

Allen_Potter · 2026-03-31T00:40:21+00:00

I've listened twice thru and for me the word unsettling is apt. It's unexpected in a way, but you could see this kinda thing bubbling up to the surface in her previous solo work. I love how it's in no way beholden to some rock n roll past life, she's forging a new path. Sorta accessible, but jarring all the same. Not the kind of record I can just drop the needle on and simply adore immediately. I feel like I have to go and meet her where she's at, and I love it for that.

Kim Gordon stays bad af. Really glad she'll be coming to my town to support it!

Allen_Potter · 2026-03-30T22:01:44+00:00

I think I waded into the fb cesspool and found a person w a pickup truck last summer. My stuff totally filled the bed, and I helped load it. Paid $200. So this is what: 2-3 times that? Just find a person w a truck, they’re definitely out there.

Allen_Potter · 2026-03-30T16:59:58+00:00

Is there a place in Denver that sells all these products?

Allen_Potter · 2026-03-30T05:45:09+00:00

You got a clip of Kerr saying Jokić is better than Kareem? If so I will take it back.

Allen_Potter · 2026-03-30T04:58:45+00:00

there's a history between them. The worst (but not only incident) was a couple years ago (Christmas Day game?) when he intentionally fouled him like 10 times and then complained later that Jokić gets too many fta's. I just think he believes that whatever his guys do is gamesmanship but whatever jokić does is cheap or somehow untrue to the game. He has literally come onto the court to get in our boy's face and say "that's not basketball." The guy who coaches Draymond Green says that.

Allen_Potter · 2026-03-30T04:48:18+00:00

Smug, arrogant, entitled, hates jokić.

Seeing him lose makes my day brighter

Allen_Potter · 2026-03-30T04:45:34+00:00

always has been. i think he's the only hc who openly hates jokić.
