I thought I was done seeing undersized C's in Denver when JJ Hickson was traded...I was wrong. Small lineups are killing me.

Had a chance to get that 8th spot and they blew an 8 pt lead with a minute left. Gallo sits down the stretch, Barton plays the whole 4th. Malone's T is the 1 pt ATL needed

Props to DA for some good minutes and Mudiay for going hard to the basket and making free throws.

Stop getting dumb fouls Jokic!!

I thought we were past the point of these awful heartbreaking losses. So frustrating.

Malone's still the coach, of course we aren't past them

TERRIBLE way to lose...on NINE free throws !!

And to think we could have moved up into the playoff seedings.

Are we tanking, or is Malone trying to get himself fired? WTF, he cost that game. Also this insistence on not playing Nurkic is total bull.

Seems like both is happening....and what do you think Nurkic's trade value is looking like after 3-4 DNP-CD's ??

Personally I would rather not trade Nurkic, I would rather fire Malone and play an actual center at center 48 mpg, especially with how talented our 2 young centers are.

Five of his six fouls were "dumb" fouls. Some of them would be acceptable for a guard or SF, but like his last foul: the rebound went over the head of Jokic and the man behind him and he starts pushing and doing his Gallinari impersonation - dumb. We could list five of his fouls just like that.

Say what? Did you hear Chris Marlow early in the fourth quarter? "The Nuggets are slowly getting into foul trouble quickly."

Sorry folk, I just finished watching the game, so all of my comments show up at once.

If Howard had been playing, do you think Nurkic would have played?
With Howard not playing, couldn't Nurkic have really dominated down low?

Everyone in the league knows that Schroeder loves to drive right. Evidently the Nuggets knew that too because they let him do it all night long. Arghhhh!

NBA admits the call against Jokic was wrong, of course that and $10 will buy you a beer at the next game

Yeah and he still made 4 other dumb fouls that no center should ever make - some were even dumb for a guard, not all though. Centers just can't afford fouls in the NBA, it's too physical down low.
Plus, refs make mistakes, we all know that. Malone knows that and has admitted he made a mistake. I guess maybe he learned something from Cousins. LOL
