[Handlogten's Heros]

Why are we playing Dunn 37 minutes? He's really good

I get it with Ochai for the experience, but not Dunn.

I don’t know what he was supposed to do though… coaches and players don’t tank.

It shouldn’t matter… so I’m not gonna cry. You really needed disinterested vets like Rudy Gay out there… not dude fighting for their careers.

Ain’t the coaches job to tank… shouldn’t have to tank this hard… management needed to step in earlier.

It requires coach to be on the same page. Clearly Hardy isnt or Ainge really believes in having no influence over him in that regard due to a principle

I hope the Nuggets get blasted in round 1

Even if they end up playing the Lakers?

Yes, I like some Lakers players. I like LeBron. I like Reaves. Vanderbilt/Beasley cool.

Nuggs are just soft losers imo

I have been just watching Forrest Gump and now U all tell me Nuggs lost this with their starters in.

I apologize @Handlogten's Heros I joined the tank. I cursed it.

I would guess the latter. He should have signed a ****** two way guard and told Hardy he wanted to get a look. Having zero actual backup pgs kinda forced him to play Dunn.

The lackadaisical start by Denver is what really screwed us.

 

[Elizah Huge]

We really need to lose tomorrow but this sucks cause we have no shot at tying the Wizards for 8th now.

Double doubles for Dunn and Potter. Dok within two points of getting one.

I think what screwed us is having way too many promising pieces (coach included) to be able to tank effectively.

Which in and of itself is an exciting thing.

That’s a great movie.

I won’t blame you. We just suck *** at sucking ***.

Overall yes… in this particular game… we just had too many try yards and Denver came out like the hat just hit chuckarama hard. Their bench dudes are trash… so when the starters got lit up I knew it was over. Ochai, Dunn might be the only contributors we played. I liked what Luka and Potter showed but I bet only one is on the roster next year.

Wasn't the result I was hoping for but it was fun watching Ochai play so well. He made some big plays down the stretch.
