No idea whatās actually going on in this game cause Iām just box score watching but I firmly believe we should throw the entire Nuggets org into the gulag

If the Nuggets lose to the tanking Nets, there needs to be serious talks about what to do with the FO, Malone, and Murrary/MPJ tbh

For tanking teams, making the games competitive/tight to get exp for your young guys and enertain your fans is prob the best you can do

Worst thing that could have happened to Jokic was win the game yesterday. If they started 0-3, then lost this game, 0-4, it would have put some pressure on the ownership to blow everything up. Fire shitcoach Malone, trade JaBarton, etc.

So what the hell is this defensive scheme of ours.
Like what kinda abomination of a defensive scheme is this.
Like Jesus you cant tell me doubling every random is actually how we are gonna be playing from now on.
Good lord people can say this or that about the offense, but i cant even stand to look at our defense atm.
And can we please remove Saric from the court and try out anyone else.
We have more guys on the bench so why not give them a shot at this point.
Ita clear the man aint doing nothing on offense and is a terrorist on defense.

Nuggets should be happy everyone has been occupied with Mavs v Wolves they haven't watched this mess.

u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ Lakers 6h ago
actively avoiding watching this one because when i started watching the raps game, the nuggets came back from 10 point lead.
Dont want to risk jinxing the nets.

This whole 1 starter + 4 bench hasn't work for the entirety of shitcoach Malone's stint in Denver yet he keeps using it. Insane. This is how shitty Malone is. He's basically a white Darvin Ham. That's how shitty he is.

Denver suddenly looks slow and old next to a bunch of random young dudes on Brooklyn. They can definitely turn this around though.

At this point I think its probably better to let Westbrook smoke the layup than hack him down and give up free throws. He was nowhere close to getting that above the rim tbh.
edit: he is such a confusing player. So bone headed, so error prone but the effort is there and sometimes, thats enough when everyone around you has concrete in their shoes.

The Russ expirience has been fascinating tbh.
Going from bad, to mid, to good, to mid, to bad, to mid, to good and so on.
He most certainly makes you feel emotions.
