Tatum can’t create a good shot down the stretch to save his life. Murray scored all the points in OT while Tatum was missing free throws

Just thought I’d let everyone know that in the Nuggets final 17 games last season they went 1-6 in 2 stretches & were 7-10 over that span.

This team lost because they’re playing lazy basketball. Not saying it’s acceptable but you can understand why when they have the #1 seed locked up with less than 10 games to go.


Don’t let facts get in the way here, the meltdowns are worth these two losses

Because our coach massively sucks.

You’re really showing your lack of basketball knowledge over these last 2 games.

sure, look at the whole game, not what he was doing B2B2B2B in crunch time. needed an adjustment.

If an NBA team would let me coach, I wouldn't know how to anything but I would know to let Murray shoot. That would be my entire game plan.

Losing both of a home and home to a potential first round opponent missing two starters is concerning, no two ways about it.

Can’t really pull the they already locked up the first seed so they’re chilling argument today since the starters played 40+ mins.

Hope they get this bad stretch out of the way the next few weeks but offensive rebounding and close games will be a concern in the playoffs no matter what

We rely on JT/JB to make tough, contested, off balance shots at the end of games every single time. Hardly ever get quality looks. And the results speak for themselves.

Exactly.

I actually expected another 50+ Win.

Tatum iso'ing for 20 seconds just to take a fadeaway 3 was so ass. At this point, all you can do is :lol:

Because JB knocked down a highly contested midrange jumper. Joe doesn't get much credit for that.

how did letting him shoot to close it out end up for us. i'm not talking about that last shot either. end of 4th and OT we let him cook.

Quoted for truth. If this team gets bullied, they tuck their tail between their legs and whimper away.


Just spent the last 6+ quarters getting pushed around by a trash Hawks team playing without half their rotation. They had zero respect for us inside.

We got alpha'd. Hard.

At least JB can make them some time. Tatum is 100% brick all the time

LOL. If you think that play was designed by Joe, i've got a bridge to sell you. The play was designed for KP to shoot but Hawks defense stopped the play.

Got Jaylen plenty of space in the midrange against a trash defender. That's about as good as it gets in that situation.

This game was lost by giving up way too many off rebounds and 2nd chance points. Brown can sky for a dunk, but he only gets one rebound. He needs to get back in the paint to help grab a rebound. Celtics are having issues lately in boxing out. It's hard for Porzingis, or whomever are one big on the floor is, to get back and rebound when they are out on the perimeter guarding because of a switch.

Joe also is very slow in making any changes on the fly to correct an issue during the game. Joe should have doubled Murry when he was searching out Porzingis on switches. He was also slow in telling everyone to crash the defensive glass for the rebounds to keep Capela off them.

JT missed one FT in OT.

So saying "missing free-throws" is not accurate.
