that’s all i need to say

i guess Jennings dropping 32 points on Chauncey Billups also makes the Nuggets a pathetic franchise.

…what I thought killed us lte in the fourth was pre-drive positioning. I remember both Curry and Maggette in particular running at their man’s hip trying to catch up. Cutting off the most direct angle for the drive is imperative stuff late in a game. Curry got burnt by Bell aong the baseline in just this way.

However,

After a horrendous loss to the Milwaukee Bucks it’s clear that Nelson has no control over the team and the lack of defense is absolutely disgusting.

I didn’t think last night’s loss was horrendous. I think we played a pretty competitive game against what will be a surprising contender in the Eastern Conference. We were on the back end of a back-to-back, missing our top big man, and we are the Warriors. We did blow it in the third quarter, but they had a player that was ridiculously on fire, rookie or not, an NBA player on fire will burn you (Anthony Morrow vs. the Clips last year?) Also when one player gets hot, it always seems like the momentum and luck all swing to that team, like that beyond half-court 3 that went in to end the half.

Our guys showed some heart, especially a surprising Corey Maggette, and we made a game of it with an exciting run at the end.

Does Nellie need to go? Probably, but not based on this last game.

Wow, Rocky posting a fanpost about firing a coach with no semblance of an actual argument about why the coach should be fired or solid examples/evidence that the coach isn’t doing his job and could be doing something differently that would work better. What a surprise. Bored because you can’t post your weekly fire Gregory post this week over at CGB Rocky? As for Jennings, it was just one of those lucky nights for him, so what? He accidentally banked a jumper in, he hit 7 of 8 3 pointers (and many people have questioned his shooting ability)…yeah, nobody has ever denied Jennings physical abilities, put that together with the kind of lucky shooting night he’s bound to have once every blue moon, and you get a good performance. So what?

He had a great game, it happens. If you have any useful suggestions about what we could have done differently, and how it would have affected the end result, go ahead and try to come up with a reasoned analysis (and be sure to include details and examples that back up your assertions), I’d enjoy it, but otherwise why don’t you just keep quiet?

Also, not sure what people expect Nelson to do with 3 of our top 4 big men out, and the other one hurting. That’s generally a huge detriment to a team, and we won our last game and would have won this game if it weren’t for a spectacular (and unusual) performance out of a rookie, one that he probably won’t be able to repeat again all year. That doesn’t look to me like strong evidence the coach is failing in his coaching.

Did you watch the game?
It was a close, hard fought loss. Hell, if Jennings didn’t get hot in the third, it probably would have been a blow out in favor of the Warriors
