Let's see what this team can do to lose to a team full of D league talent.

Remember when it was worth staying awake for this matchup?

Hey, I'll take it. If this is the bottom of the mountain and we are heading up, this is a nice bottom of the mountain.

Bet y'all asleep.

Afflalo has no mood to play.

In a pickup game, if I missed that many shots, I wouldn't "want" to play either.

But this is not a pickup game. This is the nba and he's getting paid millions and technically the fans do want to see him succeed. So I'm not sure what the problem is.

Maybe he needs to build some leg strength.

LOL. Barkley just called Nurk "Nurchich."

They love him too.

The win only made our Draft position worse. Never thought I'd want foye jj and Arthur playing more minutes but if it helps the team lose more, I'm all for it

That lineup actually played better than the starters in the first half.....It's just pointless watching these Nuggets in their current state. Until changes are made there's really nothing left to say.

I love Lawson, but if we were to trade him to say the Rockets, I can't see us winning more than 4 more games this season.....

As entertainment it actually is pointless, like you say. As for a team we want to watch for years to come, we should support the players we believe are hustling to the best of our ability. Painful, but the last thing we need is abunch of players leaving the team saying it's no fun to play in Denver. Part of the tank mentality is it causes far more damage than just the losses in that one year.

Here's my thought on the tank: show up, watch games, have fun with it, accept losses when nothing can actually be done about it. In other words the atmosphere should not mimic the win-loss record. We should enjoy talking about the future of this team and make sure players know fans have given up on their play not on the game of basketball.

Support the same players that aren't putting much effort into winning a basketball game? Support players that have to have their cell phones taken away before a game so they will pay attention to what the coach has to say?

Na, I've supported the Nuggets a lot through the year but I refuse to spend my hard earned money or use up my time watching a group of guys that don't care play/coach basketball. I also have no desire to put money into the Kroenke's pocket if they have no desire to improve their product. If you want them to fix the issue you don't keep paying them.
