And I thought Boston was bad closing games. Denver is just as bad.

Braun has been terrible defensively. And he never has his hands up. Very bizarre habits.
Swinging for the fences.

Lost last game by not taking a TO and same again now. WTF

I saw him whiff 2 wide open 3s. That was enough.

He never steps up offensviely is a bigger problem look at his playoffs stats compared to his playoffs in all his three seasons.. He should be used as a trade chip one of the better ones we have. Can't overpay more bums
