Late, close games and we leave guys open in the perimeter. Unbelievable.

Great fight by the team though. Looked like they'd get blown out.

How do we allow two long jumpers to be made in the last minute after cutting it to 2 ? Maddening.

Another bad pass from Wanamaker.  He's played well overall for us on the road trip but he is way too turnover prone.

That was his first turnover of the game.

Well technically that wasn't a turnover (I'm not sure how the call wasn't overruled after video reviewed).  He committed a really key turnover trying to throw a pass into the post to Smart that got picked off by Murray leading to a Denver score.

Great. Another great effort ruined by dumbass plays.

Another great effort ruined by only showing up in the 2nd half. This team has to get off to better starts.
It's puzzling. Our players are soooo bad in the first half. I don't get it.

Win or lose....so proud!!!! This team could have easily mailed it in. They came back from 19 down late in the third to a one possession game in the end!!! What character. What heart. What resiliency! What a way to be a Celtic!!!

Guy's had a heck of a game if you ask me.

This 100%.

After what have happened to Kemba, they could have easily just called it a night but they fought back. I'd take that moral victory. We ain't backing down.

We are starting to see a trend with this team. We generally play well down the stretch, but just don't have the killer instinct. The good news - we are still young and are missing our best/max players, but moral victories lose their appeal quickly.

Brown & Tatum shooting 2 - 19 in the first half didn't help. These guys (Tatum especially) are Jekyll and Hyde.

In fairness long jumpers are what you want them to take.

Tying the game late against the clips is missing a killer instinct?

Making this nuggets game close after the Kemba injury is missing a killer instinct?


I don't see it at all man.

This is a tough road trip and they've acquitted themselves really well.

would have been a great win but all things considered, it could have been a much worse night

Too bad we couldn't pull it off but still a good effort and a solid 2nd half.
