830 tonight, may be an interesting game as our guys should be over their hangovers by 830 pm I would think.

Some genius level coaching on display tonight. Especially throwing the ball into the post when the Clippers revealed they were going to foul and that we needed a 3 and have no timeouts left. Or benching our only center again who was +14 and the scores are tied.

Do I need to shout "AND ONE!" ....?

As for having only one center.....I swear I keep bringing up that we need to keep enough 7 footers around to account for the inevitable injuries. Javale is almost ready so that's that, but being down a big man is this team's most frequent downfall. "Why keep extra big men on tap?" Because you can't simply hustle harder and become 7 feet tall. You're born with size. You can't grow a JJ Hickson an extra inch or two when you need size.

And if we are smurfs, we're not very good smurfs. Just middle sized and middle of the pack. Need some contrast. Some Kobe-Shaq contrast.

Hard fought against a quality opponent...and it goes down to a bad call on Gallo's 3pt attempt. Crawford killed us in the 4th, can't take credit away from a stellar performance.

Is it just me or would Nurkic maybe hit 2 more buckets if he were in down the stretch? He does have exceptional size. He won't dunk like Javale but we can still get an advantage on points if we lean on him to get easy buckets.

Is it possible that Shaw is under orders to tank? I mean nobody can be that incompetent, yet he continues to find ways to put guys in bad positions and ignore the teams strengths.

The only time the Nuggets were effective last night Nurkic was in fighting Jordan and Blake.

Rebel I was thinking along those lines also, or maybe hes loosing games so he will get fired and go NY? He cant be this bad can he?

Well that is a possibility but then why wouldn't TC be more involved in trades that could help that even further. I know Lawson's DUI didn't help us any, but Chandler and AA have been doing well enough to garner at least 1 #1 pick for either of them ... trade deadline is just 3 weeks away, I've expected to see one of those two guys traded by now.

And I disagree, Shaw could be that inept, he's never been a HC prior so it just looks to me like he's in over his head, please let him go to NY, we'd surely get a top 5 pick next year.

Speaking of the game, why wasn't/where was AA's defense, would he be the one guarding Crawford ?? Was anyone really guarding Crawford ??

I ain't watching no more games this season unless shaw gets axed or some trades happen. Call of duty is more appealing than nuggets games right now
