All right, well.
How many times have we seen this game?
Chapter 2: What were the key highlights from the Nuggets vs. Timberwolves game?
Too many.
Just too many.
Let's run it back. What is up, everybody?
Chapter 3: What were the main takeaways from Dev's analysis?
Welcome to the Losers Lounge. Presented by Bet365. Did we break our slump in Bet365? No. Well... We keep rolling on over here. Just rolling with the punches. Nuggets fall to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a very discouraging effort, 117-108. Great first quarter. Amazing first quarter. Not so good in the second, third, and fourth, but a lot of storylines to talk about. Real ones only today.
I think a lot of people are jumping off the bandwagon, but it's going to get better. I think so. Here's Harrison Wind.
Chapter 4: How did Nikola Jokic perform in this game?
man nuggets fall to 16 and 12 at home just what is happening 16 and 12 oh my god this home record this year has just been there have already been so many things that have been rough about this season them being as average as they've been at home it's just a knife to the chest
It really is, man. They got a lot of home games coming up at the end of the year to try to make up for it. Or to continue the trend.
Chapter 5: What role did the bench players have in the game?
We'll find out. Superstar Devs here.
This is a sickos only type of day. And it sucks because there was going to be so many new people that got to experience what we've been able to experience before. And we robbed ourselves of this opportunity yet again. I hate it. I hate it too, man.
It really is a real ones only. A lot of people, and I don't necessarily blame them, but a lot of people have not been able to stomach the last two months.
Chapter 6: How did Jamal Murray contribute to the game?
It has been a long two months for the Denver Nuggets, a joyless and vibeless two months. And tonight was just the latest in it. Let's go to the fast breakdown here and relive it.
Chapter 7: What impact did Cam Johnson have on the game?
It's kind of a long one. Let me see if I can speed through it. First note, do not tell the story of the game.
Chapter 8: What is the big picture outlook for the Nuggets after this loss?
Nuggets playing with energy to start. Thought the effort right out of the gate was phenomenal, man.
The first quarter was phenomenal.
And Jokic in particular came to play. That note held throughout the entire game. They were not letting Ant get single coverage. They kept trapping him early, and I like that game plan. It requires you to scramble really hard on the back end. Denver was doing that, though, in that first quarter. It was as good as they have looked in two months that first quarter.
Great defense and an absolutely dominant joker. That's how you get a 31-22 lead. What happens in the second quarter?
in two minutes they blew their nine point lead in two minutes and it was bones highland leading the way just cooking them it was so discouraging to see the nuggets play so well for 12 minutes and build a lead and it evaporate in two exactly what happened against oklahoma city tim ardoway jr started heating up a little bit in the second but the wolves were dominating they had a nine point lead cam johnson picked up a couple of fouls he had a rough night tonight
And then Tim, so he goes out, Cam Johnson goes out, Tim Hardaway comes in, and the Nuggets storm back to tie it. After giving up the lead, they storm back to tie it. Jokic was missing a few bunnies in that second quarter. It was a little concerning. He's been missing a lot of bunnies lately. And then the last play of the half, I called it out live on the watch along.
Ant gets an outlet pass with like... five seconds. And I'm like, there's enough time for him to get to the rim. You got to wall off the rim. A bunch of guys jumped to him at half court. He splits them and gets all the way to the basket for a layup right with one second remaining. 58-50 Wolves going into the half. Third quarter, Jokic played one of his most, I would say,
resolute quarters in that third one, because I thought he was taking on a lot of contact. Nobody had his back, you know, nobody else was playing well or even hard. And Yoke was just trying to carry them that entire quarter. Nuggets got with an eight Murray missed the shot at the rim. Do you guys remember this Murray's missed shot at the rim?
And then a Yoke, it's turnover a quick 13, uh, from eight would have gone down to six goes up to 13. Um, And then the mad scientist reaching for people to play goes to a Jalen Pickett, Tim Hardaway, Christian Brown, Bruce Brown, Jokic lineup. Just absolutely absurd, but it worked. 8-0 run with that lineup. It was 90-82 Wolves going into the fourth. How do you start a fourth quarter?
