This thread is for anyone who thinks that playing at Coors Field will automatically make you a better hitter and you're absolutely sure it makes all the difference for
@Rockies
players. I'm here to tell you how wrong you are.
We always talk about how Jokic was drafted during the quesarito commercial but we never talk about the more incredible fact that Jokic OUTLASTED the quesarito
BREAKING: I'm being told that the Colorado Rockies will NOT ask new CU Head Coach Deion Sanders to throw out the first pitch on Opening Day in 2023 as is customary.
He will instead be the starting center fielder as they desperately need any help they can get, please someone help
Anthony Davis has a message for the Denver Nuggets
“It was just a lot of talking. We get it, y’all won, but me and Bron had some conversations... we can’t wait [to play them].” 👀

You just knew it was gonna be good when the parents forced their kid to get on screen to unwantingly claim that the flu kills more than the coronavirus as he poops his pants. AND THEN FOLLOW IT UP WITH OL' GERTRUDE SAYING PEDOPHILES LOVE MASKS FROM THE TOP ROPE

@SIChrisMannix
can you tell me where this picture was taken and when? Maybe we shouldn't respect you until YOU get your facts straight
Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix talks the Denver Nuggets media gripe.
"they're just not a compelling team to talk about - to write about"
Worth noting that
@SIChrisMannix
and his cohort are compelled by attention. And financial return. They peddle NBA sugar, not basketball.
BREAKING: The Colorado Rockies will be running a special event on Sunday 10/1 against the Twins as a part of Fan Appreciation Day. To show the fans appreciation, after the game the season will end
If you took away 22% of Nikola Jokic's assists, he'd have 430 total assists this season. This is still more assists than Joel Embiid has in the last two seasons combined (402)
Nuggets fans coming at me this morning so I thought I’d tweet one more thing they’d love…
22% of Jokic assists this season are dribble hand offs
Take a look at all these “assists”
BREAKING: The Rockies would consider acquiring Ohtani “fun for a couple months” and are not officially OUT on trade talks.
This tells me that Ohtani to the Rockies is a real possibility and they are IN on trading for the greatest player of our generation. You heard it here first
@MagicJohnson
So for the Nuggets to win they need Murray's teammates to step up and for the Jazz to win they need Mitchell's teammates to step up. Amazing
Part of the reason the Nuggets are so damn good is because they've never gotten a good whistle and had to learn how to overcome that for years. Well, they learned what to do and now they don't need the whistle while everyone else does. Good luck to all those in the way lol
Tonight, the Nuggets became the first team in NBA history to beat a single opponent in nine straight games, despite taking at least four fewer free throw attempts in every game of the streak.
Denver has taken 130 free throw attempts over that winning streak to the Lakers’ 204.
THE LAST FEW HOURS IN DENVER SPORTS:
- Jokic goes ballistic in the 4th and OT. Nick Wright wets the bed
- Von Miller pretty much is a Bronco again
- The Avs are so far ahead in the West that nothing matters
- The Rockies aren't losing 100 games cuz MLB is locked out
LFG
One of the underrated parts about a potential Nuggets-Heat Finals is if the Jokic brothers will even be allowed into Miami and everyone seems to be forgetting that
Timberwolves fans: "This is the biggest game the franchise has seen in we don't know how long."
Nuggets fans: "We think whoever's Rocky today wasn't the Rocky before because he made the halfcourt shot and it's about time he stopped sucking ass, for real for real"
The fact that ESPN ranked Carlos Gonzalez at
#5
in their Top 100 athletes of the 21st century is incredibly fitting and also extremely accurate. Some may hate it and say "Kevin, you're just making things up here for twitter clout." To that I say suck it, bitches. Cargo forever
2020 - Nuggets lose to Lakers. Lakers win NBA Title
2021 - Nuggets lose to Suns. Suns make NBA Finals
2022 - Nuggets lose to Warriors. Warriors make NBA Finals
Just pointing this out for anyone wanting to hate on the Nuggets'/Jokic's playoff resume. Not exactly a bad list tbh
I am with all the Suns fans that are mad at the refs. It's way too often that you see them hand games to big market NBA teams like the Denver Nuggets. There's a real clear history of the refs handing the Nuggets games per very specific direction from Adam Silver
Nick Wright just said on
@AltitudeSR
that if you put Joel Embiid on the Nuggets they wouldn't be the 6 seed. That's absolutely correct. They'd have been fighting for the play-in
@Smallball303
buddy I don’t care how we played. Of course we could have played better. Doesn’t matter. We aren’t allowed to play defense anymore and your best player is a fat dirty thug. Puke

Broncos: Bench Russ. Ridiculous backstory emerges. Chaos ensues
Nuggets: Announce Aaron Gordon had his face bit off and also part of his hand. Return is TBD
Avs: Blow a 4-0 lead and lose in OT
Rockies: Share a division with the Dodgers
This Wednesday wasn't having it
Nuggets superstar Nikola
#Jokic
was just interviewed on Altitude and believes HE should win
#MVP
.
He said, "I'm going back to back, brother," described Joel Embiid as a "free throw merchant" and said Markieff Morris is a bitch
Sixers superstar Joel
#Embiid
believes he deserves to win

Embiid called into Philly Sports Radio 94.1 WIP this morning to weigh in on the

MVP race against Nuggets superstar Nikola
#Jokic

Markieff
#Morris
missed 58 straight games due to Jokic’s cheap shot.
I just watched the Nick Wright video and I don't have the time right now but my god, I actually heard him say "Jokic doesn't take a lot of shots and that's why his FG% is so high" and maybe he doesn't think 17.4 FGA is a lot but I am dying over here at how stupid that is
Jokic won the game because he had Bones Hyland and Embiid did not. But I'll still take Embiid over Jokic. More of a FORCE on both ends. Just ... scarier.
Dear Sports Gods,
I cannot understate how important it is for Miami to win Game 6 and not let a Boston team win it in 7 after giving the Denver team they'd face for the title 9 days off between series.
Laughing slightly nervously,
A guy who remembers the 2007 Colorado Rockies
The Panthers did this the day before Super Bowl 50 and then proceeded to do get curb-stomped by the Broncos and lose by 2 TDs despite outgaining them in yards 315-194 and holding Peyton Manning to his 2nd worst Total QBR of his career.
Pretty hilarious when you think about it
Avs: 2022 Stanley Cup Champions
DU hockey: 2022 NCAA Champions
Mammoth: 2022 NLL Champions
Broncos: 2022 Spongebob Meme, Christmas Edition (sorta)
Nuggets: 2023 NBA Champions
Jokic: 2023 NBA Finals MVP
Elias Diaz: 2023 MLB All Star Game MVP
THE WINNING DOESN'T STOP
@_kohoutek
If Philly fans weren't the way they were and if Embiid didn't flop as damn much as he did and if he didn't cry about how much the media hates him as much as he does then maybe things would be different!
The Lakers are now 0-7 against the Nuggets in their last 7 games. But none to worry, the Rui Hachimura adjustment (23 pts) will prove key in this 15 game series that is VERY competitive according to Brian Windhorst
Everyone from Denver thinks Denver traffic is bad until they have to drive in literally any other big city in the US. Go drive around Boston just once and you'll never complain about Denver traffic again
If the Blues are forced to play tonight with multiple players out due to COVID on short notice, I don't care. The Broncos played a game with no QBs on less than 24 hours notice AND St. Louis now has Nolan Arenado & $50M that we gave them.
Suck it up and get wrecked, Blues.
MORE IMPORTANT CONTEXT:
Embiid's hit piece in The Athletic dropping on 3/27/23 straight up calling out Nikola Jokic for doing nothing as a 2-time MVP just hours before the biggest matchup of the season that would decide MVP between him and Jokic...and then magically Joel sits 🦆
Yes, Embiid has missed four straight in Denver.
Two came during extended absences: one because he had COVID, the other a bone bruise. Missed 10+ both times.
Ridiculous to use them to support ducking argument, without acknowledging the necessary context
Why Embiid) should be the MVP:
- He carried the team during the Simmons debacle
- He saves losing games w/ blocks, rebounding, & his refusal to quit (last night)
- Idc what the stats say, he looks more electric on the court. Not Jokic, sorry. Giannis should be his biggest comp
The Timberwolves faced the Nuggets once in the regular season where the Nuggets weren't on the 2nd leg of a B2B. This was the result of the one "regular rest" game
BREAKING: The Rockies have agreed to a 4 year, $96M contract for 4-time All Star and 2016 World Series champion Kris Bryant.
Per sources, Kris Bryant has not agreed and is annoyed with Dick Monfort already
