    One was in the third I think and one was in fourth. The first was a shot from the left side near where Murray hit the game winner. The second was Pope I believe coming around a screen up top left. He stepped inside then shot.

    Did you see us consistently get beat by the worst bench in the league?!

    denver is a top team in the west and both murray and jokic had it going while Ant had his worst game of the season.

    I'd have to go back a look at them, but they are all reviewable all the next timeout if they were on or over the line.

    Correct. Which I believe is why Billups was not thrilled when asked about the execution of the play.

    Well they weren't reviewed. There were two threes where feet were inside the line before leaving the ground.

    Just put Shaedon in and throw it fifty feet in the air towards the basket. He will dunk and win. Play drawn.

    I’ve been a big supporter of Chauncey as the coach, but he has been terrible in key situational possessions/decisions.

    ya they wanted to not lose 4 in a row. murray finally found his stroke. was a competitive game with lead changes on every play.

    i dunno.

    i don't feel THAT bad about this loss. this is the kinda normalizing that happens over the course of the season after we stole a few earlier.

    I never said he didn’t get any right. And it’s not only specific to just the use of challenges. He just has made some bad decisions in crucial possessions. For instance, the last possession vs Brooklyn at home when he put Dame and Ant in on a defense-only possession.

    he's got a ways to go in game management, and his inexperience manifests in close games near the end. i have been accepting the growing pains as long as we're improving in the long run, and his big picture stuff is solid.
