    Yeah, he gave is up early so he had to be expecting it back. After getting blocked at the rim a minute before, those two empty possessions were a game changer.

    Chauncey is way to conservative with his challenges. You should ALWAYS use the challenge if there is a possibility it will take points off the board. That Dame block resulted in free throws for Denver.

    Unless you’re Giannis, you pull it out on a 1 on 3 fast break. But Hart twice tried to pull some magic out of his hat.

    The Western Conference is so even this season that the endings of games get magnified and the mistakes as well.
    You can't make a misstep or you end up like Golden State in Utah.

    I am pretty sure they were out of timeouts also so they wouldn't have been able to draw up a play.

    Dame jumped and grabbed the ball out of Gordon's hand and got called for a foul. It result in two points for Denver. A challenged would have reversed the foul and no points. That's the game difference. But, Chauncey refused and didn't end up using the challenge or the timeout he would have used for it.

    It’s awful. If we don’t win both against Minnesota, I’m out.

    The West is floundering right now. Win 8 in a row and you’re first. Gotta get busy.

    He’s got like a year and 2 months of coaching experience. He should learn.
