Denver Nuggets Lose As A Team

You would think after last Monday’s embarrassing loss to the New Orleans Hornets, the Denver Nuggets would be done overlooking their foes. However, six days later Denver, once again, didn’t come out with the right mentality and, once again, the Nuggets find themselves on the losing end at home in a game they should have won.

Maybe it was losing Rudy Fernandez in the first half due to an injury, maybe it was a hangover from Friday’s exciting victory over the Miami Heat or maybe it was the disappointment that Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos were ousted from the playoffs on Sunday. No matter what the Nuggets didn’t really show any energy or emotion.

Danilo Gallinari was benched in the third quarter due to his lack of production, Andre Miller found himself on the bench later as well after another lackluster performance.

To make matters worst the Nuggets were atrocious, once again, from the free throw stripe. Nene missed five of seven, while Arron Afflalo missed four of his 10 attempts. Gallinari went 12-for-12 from the line.

But nobody should be off the hook for this loss. (more…)
