The Denver Nuggets dropped another clutch game on Sunday as their offense and defense both collapsed at an inopportune moment. A 15-0 run highlighted by Nuggets turnovers and Golden State Warriors transition points buoyed a Warriors comeback. Denver’s lack of execution in these moments stems from more than just the loss of one player, but it’s clear that one player would help them relax and make the right play. In these situations, they’ve messed up those simple plays over and over again.
On the latest Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn reacts to the Denver Nuggets loss to the Golden State Warriors in which the Nuggets weren’t ready to play a matinee matchup vs a Warriors quad without Stephen Curry or Draymond Green. He discusses the loss, Denver’s dependency on Aaron Gordon, and how other West teams are also screwing up this moment.
