Mavericks vs. Nuggets recap: Lifeless Nuggets fall to Mavericks

It is a major rough patch. 6 games in 9 nights. tomorrow with be 10 in 7 nights. This is the worst part of the condensed schedule for the Nuggets. And it is his hitting them like a ton of bricks. I actually thought they played hard physically tonight, but definitely looked tired and frustrated mentally. Lots of bad turnovers and sloppy play.

I am cheering for them to break out of the funk. I like this team. Don’t want to see it broken up. But it is up to them.. not me.

Go Nuggets.

I am happy to be part of Denver Nuggets we try to get better everyday and fight everygame. Thanks for ur continuous support DENVERFANS

Maybe all that running is wearing them down even though they are deep

on “whats wrong with the Nuggets”

The media has to do it, the coaches have to pretend that they dont know and still insist on high standards

Fans will have to respond as if they, we, dont know.

Whats the analysis for? This simply is not the personnel we hoped would be on the court for us. From most of this year, on, injuries have turned our line up into a 2nd rate squad and its getting worse.

It was nice for Houston and Dallas that they beat us, but who’s “us” exactly. Lets get real, they beat our B team and there is no real reason for us to expect our scrubs to beat competitive Western teams.

We need a minor miracle to be in the hunt for playoffs after February or an incredible March & April. So start praying for one or the other.

He seemed like the only guy on the team that was getting pissed off in a positive way and using that energy to try and make something happen. Also way too many three point shots taken (yet again).

As someone stated above, it is a completely different squad than what we started with, and quite frankly, still expect to end with. We’re missing our BEST player and center. When everyone’s healthy we can and do hang with the best teams in the league.

By no means does that mean I am satisfied with the roster we have, even when it’s healthy, so I must say I would be thrilled to see the Nuggets package some players to make this team better. It’s too bad AAA is struggling, because he has shitty value right now. But even if he was tearing up (by his standards that means hitting 6-8open shots a game), I would still insist on trading him. He is the weak link in the starting rotation. Mozzy’s not much yet, but he clearly has upside. What’s AAA’s upside? I thought it was the fact that he didn’t have a downside, but that’s clearly not the case.

Like I said, I’m not too shaken up that we lost. That’s expected. I want our team to make a trade because I think we’re very close being an elite team when our roster is healthy.

Teams are benefitting from their 1st and 2nd year players. The Knicks very well may turn their whole season around. T-wolves have become relevant again. And who would have thought Kyrie would be this good?

Meanwhile, in Denver, GK coaches with his thumb up his ass.

When I mean leadership I am speaking of two specific areas. The COACHING staff and the STARTING PG. First with GK. Whoever thought it was a great idea to switch every pick and roll is an idiot. We got caught on the switch. Dallas would post up the mismatch we would double and then Bird or Al didn’t rotate quick enough…Splash…3 ball. Too many times we get caught on a pick and get rubbed so that we can’t defend the three…Where are the adjustments? Where are the hedges? Don’t like the defense that I am seeing called from the sideline and don’t like the fact that adjustments aren’t taking place.

Next…TY LAWSON. I love Ty’s game, but let’s face it he has to be more aggressive. Stop picking up your dribble and take it to the whole and dish more effectively. Also please notice the mismatches when you have Nene being guarded by Dirk or Brandon Wright and Koufus being defended by Wright and Mahimi. The problem with our offense is that we are doing the opposite of how we are getting burned on D. We are not forcing the defense to double. We need find the mismatch post it up and then dish out when the double team comes. I guarantee then our three ball will start falling. Ty needs to take ownership of the offense and make sure these things happen . Why is it on him? Well we know George doesn’t call any plays and leaves it up to his players…well then….Ty,,handle it, and George since you don’t call offensive plays, coach up some defense that makes sense and works. See the Bulls if you need some help.

Nothing is wrong with the talent level on this team.

I know we have a lot of injuries right now and that the schedule is brutal. Dallas came in with 3 days rest and we are tired. But Karl is an emotional coach and when things go bad for him they tend to spiral out of control. There are a lot of these implosions on his resume. It feels like another one.
