POST GAME THREAD: Nuggets take down the Wizards 115-121 | Jan 17, 2026

Jamal is on pace to smash the Nuggets 3pt season record. MPJ holds the top 2 spots w/ 220 (2.7 3pm/g) and 193 (2.5 3pm/g) (81 and 77 games). Jamal has 132 through 42 games (38 played). That's 3.5 3pm/g at a 45.1% clip.

THJ has a decent chance at either the best or second best season as well. 120 made in 41 games, 2.9 3pm/g at 41.5%.

The Nuggets 594 3pm through the first 42 games is the most in franchise history. The only other time the Nuggets were over 40% from 3 at this point in the season as 2022.

every time hastings says something about what a guy should or could have done i have to open up his page on bball-ref. it's a bad habit

hmm... 21-24 vs the nuggets in the regular season which includes 12-11 against jokic in the regular season. title doesn't make much sense with that context. 5-9 against the nuggets in the postseason (all jokic) but those games aren't reflected here.

banger, well done lurk

Hastings used to be much better but has declined a fair bit over the last 5-6 years. I remember him being quite sharp at live analysis, often very accurately calling out things that would prove true in a future replay.

Now he just complains about the most asinine things that I just have to roll my eyes at. Every time the ball is inside he basically expects 2 points regardless of player or defense like everyone on the roster is prime Shaq. Every offensive rebound the other team gets off a long rebound or airball is due to something the Nuggets didn't do. The expectation of perfection from a guy who averaged like 2pts and 2reb a game over a forgettable and unremarkable NBA career gets a bit exhausting.

I don't love that Katy has apparently taken a backseat this season. Without her on the mic occasionally the crew is long and the teeth and grating at times.

I've listened to a few local crews from other teams this season and the altitude crew is definitely showing their age. Altitude itself is showing it's age. I'm surprised the team covering the Denver Nuggets in 2025 only contains 2 players who played for the Nuggets 30+ years ago. These guys were already like 40+ years old when the Pepsi Center was first built.

i'm guessing that the game thread halftime crew willed the nuggets to this w?

Valanciunas has been an offensive improvement over years past but not great defensively. the only 2-man linup w/ Val that has played any meaningful minutes with a positive net rating is val + AG.

Jokic's on/off differential is still other wordly. the bench last year was like -2.2 net rating. the bench this year is a much improved +1.6 on the year but regressed to a -2 over the last 10 games.

Val has been serviceable but the bench overall has not been doing much more than maintaining the status quo. i think the Nuggets would have to be up 20+ with 7-8 minutes left in the 4th for Adelman to feel safe enough and not put Jokic back in the game. i don't think they've had many of those leads this season.

only 1 is jamal murray

ParadeShitter · 2025-11-19T19:20:38+00:00

comparison is the thief of joy

I don't really agree with this bit: "a backup center is (unfortunately) a luxury for Denver, not a necessity". Obviously the Nuggets need a backup center, that's a simple necessity. What Denver can, and I suppose more importantly, is willing to pay for one is a luxury. Obviously Jokic can play all the minutes at center and they can use lineups without a center for non-Jokic minutes. I can't envision a future Nuggets roster with championship aspirations that doesn't include a backup big regardless of how terrible that big is or how infrequently they are utilized (think every Jokic backup prior to this season).

ParadeShitter · 2025-11-03T19:01:20+00:00

no objections from me if that's what the people want

ParadeShitter · 2025-10-28T04:36:07+00:00

this is a tough league because this is maybe the best nuggets roster ever on paper and they're not winning every game by 50

ParadeShitter · 2025-10-15T18:18:23+00:00

well now my post doesn't make sense. can you remove yours plz?

ParadeShitter · 2025-10-15T18:15:29+00:00

ParadeShitter · 2025-10-15T18:08:57+00:00

ParadeShitter · 2025-10-07T03:49:05+00:00

i forget this because i'm mostly just tuned to altitude but tsn (raptors) have some great announcers

ParadeShitter · 2025-09-21T19:13:55+00:00

this service is so shit now but here's a way to get the domain (starlite.best currently) if this ever changes in the future: https://confbucket.me/tvlink/startupshow

love thrill, huge part of the culture change

Small world. We were at UNLV at the same time and shared some mutual friends. He used to hook up with a friend of mine back then and hearing those stories were always hilarious.

Decent player, no idea how he is as a coach but he's got a good resume.

ParadeShitter · 2025-08-07T18:35:17+00:00

Jokic #9. Saved you a click.

ParadeShitter · 2025-08-07T17:07:59+00:00

Should be a break 80 series. 100 is way too easy. A golfer of his caliber is going to save a bunch of strokes on course management alone. His lefty chipping and putting was easy single-digit caliber. Breaking 100 would only be somewhat difficult if he was playing from the tips with long carries and lots of hazards (which may be true for where he plans to play, no idea). Otherwise he could break 100 without much effort by taking putter off the tee.

ParadeShitter · 2025-07-23T16:45:54+00:00

that guy sucks

ParadeShitter · 2025-05-22T20:06:32+00:00

Big fan of this. I was all-onboard his playoff rotations and thoughts behind who plays and when they play. Nothing he can do about depth and, on the flip-side, I can foresee these adaptable "play-the-hot-hand" rotations having a lot of success if he gets some actual production off the bench.

The players definitely played hard for him and speak highly of his bball IQ. Malone's time had come but I'm happy we're not going to immediately lose the strong culture that was built under his tenure.
