Denver showed today why they will never win a championship

[DazedAndConfused]

Make no mistake this team is TALENTED enough to win it all, but they lack something very specific that all championship teams must have. Mental toughness.

When the going gets tough, this team has consistently fallen apart due to an overall lack of basketball IQ from too many of their starters. Take today's game for example, the Nuggets were down 4 and just needed a score to make it a one possession game. JR Smith catches a rebound from 3 feet beyond the 3pt line. Instead of working the 24 second shot clock to find a good look he immediately chucks up a deep 3, clanks the shot, and effectively ends the game for Denver. Also, Carmello picks up a silly foul which ends up fouling him out of the game. Their supposed clutch leader Chauncey Billups made several errant passes and repeatedly got caught in mid-air with nobody to pass to.

This is why I laugh when got Mav/Sun/loser fans of teams who have never won keep thinking the Nuggets could actually win something. Spurs fans seem to know better, they probably realize exactly what I just stated. If you don't have mental toughness it doesn't matter how good you are, you will never win a championship.

[Indazone]

This one is on the coach. Replace the coach with Phil Jackson and Denver wins.

[ducks]

We'll see in the playoffs.

It sounds like you are trying to justify your fears of the Denver Nuggets.

[Killakobe81]

It is 2-1 but many have said what the OP stated ...

[redzero]

I think it says something about a team when they take an unnecessary 3 when they are only down four with over a minute left, get an offensive rebound, take another unnecessary 3, get another offensive rebound, and then take ANOTHER unnecessary 3.

[21_Blessings]

The Lakers would need 5-6 games max to put their little mentally inept pet Denver in their place again.

Just another year of the Lakers steamrolling through the West.

[DazedAndConfused]

I think it says something about a team when they take an unnecessary 3 when they are only down four with over a minute left, get an offensive rebound, take another unnecessary 3, get another offensive rebound, and then take ANOTHER unnecessary 3.

Pretty much sums up my opinion about the Nuggets.

[Allanon]

WTF moments yet again for the Nuggets to close the game. They were only down 4 points with 2 minutes left but for whatever reason, they kept going for a "Dagger 3".

Down 4 with 2 minutes left ...
Billups jacks up a 3, miss
Affalo with a set 3, miss
JR Smith with a super long 3, miss

Billups pass to KMart (who wasn't ready), turnover

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

@ Laker fans. first you say 'its only regular season blah blah', but now suddenly these games mean something?

Make up your freakin' minds

[Chieflion]

Make up your freakin' minds

Exactly. Enjoy your regular season championship. /sarcasm

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Stern. Imagine the outcry if Kobe fouled out late in the 4th?!

[21_Blessings]

@ Laker fans. first you say 'its only regular season blah blah', but now suddenly these games mean something?

Make up your freakin' minds

None of these games changed anything. Denver was never beating LA in the playoffs in the first place. Everybody knows this.

@ Laker fans. first you say 'its only regular season blah blah', but now suddenly these games mean something?

If the self-proclaimed "most complete point guard in the league" had any kind of self restraint, there wouldn't be a Lakers fan in sight on here.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Both Denver and Dallas could beat the Lakers in the playoffs, and they will if they end up facing the Lakers

[lil_penny]

next sunday it shall be lifted from your signature nuggets fan

[21_Blessings]

Both Denver and Dallas could beat the Lakers in the playoffs,
