The Denver Nuggets have officially quit, and according to a report from Chris Dempsey, they did it for everyone to see.
A fourth-quarter huddle late in the Nuggets’ 104-82 loss to the Utah Jazz on Friday broke with this phrase: “1-2-3 … six weeks!”
As in six weeks to go until the end of the season. That’s 24 games, 46 days and 1,152 minutes away.
Tax day, April 15, is getaway day: the last day of the Nuggets’ season. Rest assured, there are players who are already counting.
I’m not sure if teams do investigations into broken huddles, but Shaw is likely to be fired if this is true. Shaw is likely to be fired anyway, so it doesn’t really matter.
