MANY MEN. have birthdays today but Nikola Jokić's is the most special.🐴🎉

@EEAAOPILLED THIS

The no turnovers is the MOST impressive thing here if you've been watching all season

that's our CAM 17 PTS 8 RB 2 BLKs +7

@ayyrod_ TELL 'EM SON

Everybody better than Jokic til it’s time to be better than Jokic

BREAKING: Nuggets beat the San Antonio REFS

@KalleSorbo BY FAR

the guys are going to be pragmatic on the show and they should be but this is the most lopsided officiated game I’ve watched this year and that’s quite hard as a fan of the Denver Basketball Nuggets

Nuggets refuse to die

@guudgriefhoops ope, he heard ya

Imagine if Jamal Murray played today

@hoopordie7777 I CAN HELP HIS HAMMIES. this is insane. i'm losing my mind with this staff.

@Swolletariat It’s over if he goes down plain and simple

Ok looks like AG is ok just saw the season flash before my eyes right there

good god. let me in the fking lockerroom!

Nuggets down by 7 going into the half and all I can think about is that 7-pt swing after they missed that egregious Wemby foul. I'm not safe to be around rn. 😡

WEMBY TRIPS AND AG CALLED FOR FOUL??? THIS GAME IS A JOKE

does Jokić need to be in a body bag to get a call???

no, although that is the conventional thinking. but we're dealing w/ neurological tightness created by a lack of feedback from his hamstring & deep hip capsule tissues at ranges which have not been trained. doing too much Nordic (or any other repetitive pattern) is working the same damn tissue. the CNS will take away tolerance to be moved into other ranges.

@Swolletariat @VetanzeTherapy More nordic-type posterior chain strengthening?

re: "hamstring tightness" in this context... when damaged connective tissue is not properly trained in rehab, that connective tissue dysfunction signals tightness. abnormal mechanoreceptor feedback loops from that tissue tells the CNS to tighten things up as a protective response

@VetanzeTherapy yes, but tbc it's not a problem exclusive to Nuggets. sports clinical & performance staffs everywhere are completely whiffing on these reactive strength injuries because they follow old paradigms from the 90's/2000.

@Swolletariat Exactly! This injury was preventable and the training staff is to blame

@DimarcellaChris one would think! it's such a disservice to the athletes.

@Swolletariat That does not surprise me at all. You would think a billion dollar industry would be on the cutting edge.... nah.

@Councilman303 the staff will do their best to reduce the tightness, but there are clearly issues not being addressed, so his playing time should be limited and he'll def be putting himself at risk. it's incredibly frustrating because it doesn't have to be this way.

@Swolletariat can you play through tightness?

@DimarcellaChris BINGO! literal strength bureaucrats want to maintain the status quo. it's an actual issue in the sports performance/medicine arena. they keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. the def of insanity.

@Swolletariat That makes sense. I know sports teams try to be efficient, but they are also run by old white guys.
