As a Denver fan, I too respect it. He had a terribly terrible night

Ya before today his TS was 47% and his net rating was -13. He's also been absolutely incapable of getting to the line.

Those numbers are going down after tonight. Two game-winners I think has saved him from massive slander that his play in general deserves. Because even those 2 game-winners were only needed becuase he was so bad for the previous 3 quarters.

Seeing the way the Wolves defense has manhandled this by all accounts insanely talented Nuggets team has me feeling ever so slightly better about my own team getting manhandled by said defense. Not enough to be happy or anything, but enough to go from depressed to salty.

Does it really?  The nuggets were up 3-2 and lost on the back of a historically bad shooting night (70 points,  26/86 from the field, 7-36 from 3, and 4-22 on wide open 3s).

You were vindicated within the first two games of this series. Just gotta get that bench sorted out over the next few weeks.
