Well, we held our own in BOS, but I H-A-T-E that Malone thinks starting Plumlee is a good think, he IS a moron. Lety's hope all our real talent can bring it !!!

Not sure anyone hates the 2 center lineup more than me, but if they’re starting baynes and horford, this is one of the few matchups where it’s a little beneficial.

I think Jokic vs Baynes and Faried vs Horford would be a good test for Jokic and a decent matchup against Horford.

Of course slowing down Irving is the most difficult task and it'll be interesting to see if Harris covers him (likely) or if Murray covers Irving. The reason I wonder is because they have two nice wings in Brown & Tatum - both about the same size. It might be easier for Murray to try to keep up with Irving than play the larger wing.

I'd love to see a starting lineup of Jokic, Faried, Lyles (or Craig), Harris, Murray.

Not gonna lie I cringed there. I’d put Jokic on horford and lyles/faried on baynes if I wasn’t starting plumlee. Baynes is less of a threat to post Up a smaller guy.

Fire Michael Malone now. He is wasting too much talent and people can’t take it anymore. #FIREMALONE

I’m so happy to see Faried and Mudiay though. What the **** does that **** Malone have against them? #FIREMALONE

This team is so bad. Don't know how Malone keeps his job. Half of the roster is alienated and the rest are playing some weird Malone system without any clue what is happening. I don't get it.

Chandler missed shootaround and isn't in the game......perhaps, just perhaps something is in the works.....

WTF was that ending?

That would be a lack of calling a timeout with 4 seconds to go. A timeout would have allowed the ball to be taken out in the frontcourt and ... Anyone thinking that makes more sense than dribbling the length of the court for a desperation 3? A 2 would have won that game and a timeout lets you run a set play.

Ugh. Not enough time on the clock to not call a time out.

Made the mistake of watching the Boston feed. They really earned that most homer broadcast team distinction.

One announcer said “this Craig guy can possibly be complaining right now. I’ve never heard of you, Craig.” I figured it was some Celtic legend, I know they used to have Tom heinson. Turns out it was brian scalabrine

If you've never been put in a straitjacket and want to know what it feels like, become a Nuggets fan.

The Nuggets are awful in clutch situations , Malone have to be credit as the part of the problem as well.

Bad no timeout call, but played well overall.

Hey Guys, we lost to a top 5 team by ONE point, that's the bad news. Malone keeps getting exposed as a bad coach, that's the best thing we can expect to take from this game !!

Just 0.2 seconds separate best win and most painful loss... unfortunately we lose this time.

Which is worse, we probably lose Plumlee also on some time, just when he is started to be used more properly. Since his arrival from Portland, "Jokic lite" strategy with Plum didn't work when they are both on court, but in last 3 matches he is used like "white Faried", collected 5+ dunks from alley-ups per game, but is injured today in 4th quarter and non-contact injuries can be really dangerous. Let's hope it is not that serious.

Celtics killed us with all these 3pts (17-36, we just 10-33) including last two which is really lucky shots (Horford last second 3pt and Brown out-back 3pt) which is Celtics last 6pts of the game. Great 2nd half, but we pay once again price for all these lazy 1st halves we played this season, so elite opponent like Boston will use it properly (-20 at one point in 2nd quarter).

I can't understand why Malone put on bench best player Jokic once again for last defense and attack action. We risk Boston offensive rebound with Lyles only tall guy on the floor, and in just 5 seconds for the last possession isn't best to have someone with Jokic quarterback-pass skills than trying for another boozer winner with Barton. He now has two clutch-shots air-balls in the row (I'm not forget his attempt to tie vs Clippers for overtime), it not works and seems he has some kind tunnel vision in such moment (he didn't notice Craig is alone for a winner tonight).

Malone said that he didn't want to call time out, how stupid was that But even with the time out taken, Malone can't call good play, we seen it this season lots of times.

As the season goes on, I can think of at least 5-6 games that poor coaching has been the reason for the loss. By the same token, I can only recall one game where we were believed to have out-coached the other team. Given that premise I feel we should have a record of about 31-19 which would put us around 4th in the West instead of 8th.

TIME TO WAKE UP KSE !!!!

Soooooo....Doc Rivers anyone.
