    What a shitty performance in the 4th quarter. No answers on defense. No structure to the offense. Disorganized. Bad strategy. The team is getting by solely on athletic ability - they are not ready for primetime.

    I haven't seen many games but I'm confident saying that was their worst loss of the season.

    LeBron James.

    Just wow.

    Not much you can do about that.

    yep. . . he was just too much-- when he hits shots like those last couple, there's no answer. . . this makes the dallas loss sting even more, though. . .

    It does.

    I watched that shot and still an hour later have an urge to bump a James thread. He's a bad man.

    final stats. . . lebron played 39 minutes, scored 39 points on 60% shooting, with 10 assists and 8 rebounds. . . jokic played 33 minutes, scored 36 points on 85.7% shooting, with 14 rebounds and 6 assists. . . nugs had like a billion turnovers, and the cavs won by five. . .

    Gotta hang on to this cat. He's a superstar, the one we've been waiting for, I think.

    Lebron is the GOAT. I'm not sure if Mike Malone is adding any value though.

    The team feels like it's playing below it's potential every time I watch them. They have all this athletic ability and look like the more talented team, but they can't harness constructively for 4 quarters. Meanwhile he benches the team's best player to send a message and loses a game that might cost them a playoff seed. I don't know basketball as well as I know football, so I don't trust my eye test necessarily - but it just feels like they are disorganized and winging it everytime I watch.

    I have this ongoing theory about Nuggets basketball, that I believe is nearly consistent no matter who coaches or who is GM or who's on the team. Granted, I also don't think I'm the only one to have this feeling.

    The idea behind basketball in Denver is always to just run people out of the gym. Malone is a defensive coach in a way, and for all his faults with personality management, he does recognize you have to run at Mile High. But that always comes to a detriment to the defense. That always results in just trying to outscore people, which also causes obvious problem, most notably making games a pure crap shoot. I don't really know what the solution to that is, because I basically agree with the philosophy, given the team's specific home-court advantage. (In a way, it's like the Rockies' own circumstances)

    I do wonder if a player like Jokic could change that, much like the combo of Carmelo and Billups changed that for a year. That team could run, but it also played decent straight-up defense and it could operate a decent half-court offense. For the first time since that team, I feel like the pieces could be there.

    So...that's a long way around getting to the point that I have had the same thoughts about Malone, though I do like him. But then again, who is the coach?

    I think the Clippers loss and the Dallas loss can both be attributed directly to poor coaching. Your theory is a good one, but almost seems independent from the Malone critique. I think you can run and still be strategic about it, even while sacrificing some of your defensive efficiency. I see an undisciplined and disorganized team.

    once again, the nugs are embarrassing themselves with a pathetic effort against an inferior team. . .
