Being a ball hog is probably a plus right now tbh

I don’t know if you guys saw the MEM/WAS/PHX trade but Phoenix doesn’t know which Brooks they are getting LMAO!!!

Also this game is a perfect example of why we need some semblance of a 2-way wing.

Eh. Playing in Denver is tough, but yeah we need wing help and it’s showing. We are the best 3rd quarter team in NBA right? Hopefully we can make a difference coming out of half time. We should come out with some nice defense. Offense is what concerns me.

I keep waiting for these F3ckers to snap out of it. I guess they really just can't shoot. It's weird though because its like we have some curse were we just have to have one of our superstars play ****. Tonight George. Most nights Russ. Maddening.

Saw it. That's pretty amazing. Can't recall a case of mistaken identity in a trade before. That's like something out of a SNL sketch bit.

Adams wanted to smash someone in the crowd?

Denver has needed only 11 attempts to make almost as many FTs as we've made in 21 attempts.

This team can't shoot. Period. This is the third year in a row that's been the case and Presti either still doesn't think it's an issue or still hasn't found a way to address it.

Get it back down to five and we foul Lyles at the very end of the quarter going up for an offensive rebound.

We knock the ball loose, goes right to Plumlee, Plumlee goes up and throws up a wild shot through two defenders and it goes in.

Because of course it does.

14:15 into the 2nd half and the lead is still exactly where it was in the second half.

That was a charge on the Nuggets, by the way. Effin refs.

That was the moment. That was the moment where it was decided we wouldn't come back and win the game. Schroder has a breakway layup that would've cut it to four. Plumlee rejects it from behind, it almost goes out of bounds, the Nuggets save it and turn it into a fastbreak for two to push the lead back to 8.

And the Nuggets third three-point attempt of that possession goes down and we're losing by nine.

Ballgame.
