ANDLOS ANGELES — There’s a level of irritation contained within almost every shooting foul that is called on the floor anyway.
But late in the Nuggets’ loss to the L.A. Clippers on Monday night, that irritation reached the level of infuriating when one of those came at a critical juncture.
Down three points with nine seconds left, the Nuggets ran a play that got Danilo Gallinari a good look at a 3-point shot. And he pulled up for that shot. As Gallinari went up, Clippers forward Matt Barnes pulled down his right arm — his shooting arm. Gallinari switched the ball to his left hand and put the attempt up.
A foul was called.
But not a shooting foul.

“It’s frustrating when night-in and night-out all of those kind of calls go against us,” he said. “And the explanation of it changes all the time, when we get an explanation. Or they admit that they made a mistake after the fact when it’s already cost us a game.”

So there is definitely a case for this to be called a snub #Nurkic #Nuggets

what a disaster firing Karl has become.
I guess if you want a team that usually makes the playoffs and has absolutely no shot to win it all, you keep a coach like Karl. If you want to win a championship, you tear it down and rebuild. Give me the team with a shot to win it all, even if it means suffering through some lean years.
The contradiction is strong with this one....
Yes, MO. I'm talking about you.
So, finishing 16th without a division title, without hope of going further and without and without a lottery pick in the NBA = finishing Top 8, Top 2, Top 8, with three division titles and a definitive chance to win the Super Bowl each year?
No, those two things are not the same. At all. Ever. The fact I have to explain this is disturbing.
i got your back MO. . . freakin' carl is no PFM!
