The Wolves seem to have enough offense to win even in the fourth quarters it's their lack of defense that loses the games for them. If you noticed after a lack luster game by the Nuggets as much as the Wolves being spectacular the Nuggets got determined to win while the Wolves weren't focused. In the very last seconds of the game when one of the Wolves players (think it was Jefferson slapped the ball away and a team mate hustled hard to save it before it went out of bounds, but the bad part is Jefferson didn't react and try to help his team mate out if he was able to save the ball which he did and they lost the ball.

actually as a Denver fan I kind of am pissed right now, I wish you would have held on to the lead, maybe taught the Nuggets a lesson about only showing up for 15 minutes in a game like this.

So Craig Smith takes 5 shots and misses them all and Miller only takes 4. That pretty much somes up the game, and our season.

Is it "Player's Only" meeting time? I mean, these guys seriously got some issues to work out. This is clearly ALL mental right now. You don't build a double digit lead in like five straight games and blow them all unless you got some big time mental issues. This goes beyond coaching right now. This is something those players have got to figure out.. I mean honestly, Denver shot 33% from the field and we lost. When was the last time Denver shot that poorly and pulled out a W against ANYONE? Something's gotta give here.
