NUGGETS POSTCAST: Jamal Murray, David Adelman STRUGGLE in BRUTAL loss to Lakers
The Denver Nuggets lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in brutal fashion Saturday night, 127-125. Jamal Murray turned in one of the worst performances of his NBA career, but it was head coach David Adelman who deployed perplexing strategy at the end of the game as Luka Doncic hit the game winning shot. It’s a tough loss for the Nuggets who wasted another triple-double from Nikola Jokic. Join Aniello Piro on tonight’s Locked On Nuggets POSTCAST.

This Denver Nuggets team is a f#cking dumpster 🔥 fire period !
Jokic pushed off
1-14 for Jamalstar 7%
Luka actually done that before when he dropped 60 point triple double he missed the free throw and put it back up and he was throwing his arms around like a happy kid😂
Fire adelman! He is making the dumbest decisions that cost us every time!
What was the reason nobody was on the other side of Ayton during that intentional miss? Have seen weird shit before but that mistake by coaching staff is up there all time
Nobody has bad game like this even 0-6 from Hardaway was way be4than this 1-14 from Jamal, if he was just 20% they would win but he was at 7% , he f.up the whole team, but I expected something like this and I still think that last 12 games will be the most important, unfortunately if Murrey did4f.up the whole team they would be in a great mini series which they would turn to maybe the longest 11-12 is the record in Jokic era . I would still love to see Luka and Jokic play together but there's no chance that Lakers would give Luka for Jamalstar and if shity Divac wasn't the manager of Sacramento Luka could play for Denver from the beginning and Jokic-Luka duo would be the best offensive duo ever
I know 5 schmoes from a YMCA in Pawtucket, even they tonight could have beaten the Nuggets. Murray 1 of 14, and only one from three, still these Laker schmucks barely won in OT. 🥱
Bad teams find ways to lose and Denver is a bad team in context of being a real contender
Luka also had a game where he intentionally missed a FT and scored on the rebound, it was the game he had 60/21/10. Donovan Mitchell also did it a couple years ago, and it was in the game he scored 71.
Its just a game.dont get wet
“Do you wanna deal with Luka on the Lakers for the next decade?” Matt Moore
boxing out on free throws is basic shit. Players should know to do this automatically but sure blame it on the coach
Adelman is ready to get out from Denver
why Marey is playing?Adelmans fault
Interesting matchup, neither team can guard each other. Luka was terrible for most of it, and Murray was terrible also. The others for the nuggets played unbelievable but the lakers still found a way. It could be a great first round matchup.
Though, this game gave me more confidence that the lakers have a real chance. Denver role players were amazing and lakers still found a way. Don’t get me wrong, I think Denver in 7 but Luka is a problem for jokic. And so is reaves. If they can burn jokic like they did every play tonight then they have a shot
