What were the key moments in the Nuggets vs. Bucks game?
Oh, man, turn it up.
Oh, do you hear that?
What is up, everybody? Welcome to the Winner's Zone.
Wait, just double-checking. It is the Winner's Zone. Yeah, and you didn't realize that Giannis had completely quit on his team, so you weren't aware of it. Not on me. You thought he might play hard. That's on you, bro. That's on you. We're also in the Xfinity lounge.
How did Julian Strawther perform in this game?
Throw them up, boys. Throw up those X's, baby. Throw up those X's. Nuggets get to win 102-100. I think this was the dumbest game of the year. I don't want to say dumb because the Nuggets got a win and there's some vibey stuff to it. But this was the most bizarre game of the entire season.
What impact did Aaron Gordon's injury have on the Nuggets?
We even had that improbable win against in Philly. We had some crazy ones. This one was more bizarre. Not more vibey, but just more bizarre. I don't even know what to say.
Yeah, which is awesome because we've got about 58 minutes left on the clock. So find something, boss.
Load up the takes, everybody. Hop in the chat if you want to talk along with your Nuggets fans. You're in the right place, Denver Nuggets fans. Brennan Vogt is here.
Man, that was, listen, you got to tip your hat to the Denver Nuggets and you just have to ignore the last five minutes because a win is a win.
Somebody said, is the funky music? This is more like, yeah, it's funky music.
How did Bruce Brown contribute to the game?
It's funky. We do the victory bell in the bar. It was the most timid.
Everyone cool with this?
Is everyone okay with this? Superstar Devs here. Were you guys saying that that was not a good win? You guys are right.
What was Tim Hardaway Jr.'s performance like?
It is, though.
But a win is a win is a win is a win.
It kind of is a good win, though.
How did Jalen Pickett's role evolve during the game?
It's the standing. All that matters, you got a win, and the Nuggets got a win. I don't even have a fast breakdown prepared for you, but I can kind of do it off the top of the dome.
What were the thoughts on DaRon Holmes' contributions?
The first quarter was 21-21, and it felt like it was more like, oh, my God, look at the percentages. Oh, my God, it's horrible. The first quarter felt like it was 6-6.
What are the implications of Aaron Gordon's injury for the Nuggets' season?
Neither team... There were more air balls, I think, in that game or hard bricks off the rim, off the glass than there were makes in the entire game. Both teams were throwing up some absolute garbage.
I started ducking in the bar just to be safe.
Nuggets in the second quarter got a little bit of a groove going at the very end and opened up a lead. But on the... The last play, I think it was the last play or basically the last play of the half. Aaron Gordon, I would say at a light jog, at a light jog, pulls up and grabs his hamstring like, oh, my God, I'm hurt. I didn't even notice it live. We were wondering what he was doing because it was like a weird dribble. But the Nuggets went up, so you kind of felt like, all right, there you go. They got a six-point lead, only to find out later that he was limping off of the court with an apparent hamstring or lower leg injury, which is just... We'll have a lot to talk about that one. In the third quarter, Nuggets actually played very well.
In the third quarter and the start of the fourth, Tim Hardaway, first of all, I got to give a shout out because Julian Strother got going in that quarter and started making some big time threes. And it felt like if anybody made threes, they would open up the game. Well, he started making them. And then Tim Hardaway Jr., who had missed, how many, what did he get up to? Do you know?
I think it was almost 20 straight threes he missed. It could be. It might have been more. I have to fact check it, but it's around 20.
He had missed so many for so many games, and he was off in this one where he had open looks that were just way off. And somebody in the crowd was like trash-talking him, and he got a second. He had a poster dunk earlier in the game. He had a monster poster dunk in the third quarter. And after that, he started making his threes. It was like all he had to do was dunk that rust off of him. He did it, and the Nuggets had at one point a 20-point lead The Bucs looked like they had completely given up. They did not want any part of this. Both teams looked like they were running the prevent offense.
