What happened
The week opened with a 114-134 thrashing by Golden State, and the fanbase went straight for the coach: David Adelman had supposedly turned the roster into "a bunch of softies," and one mourner declared "this feels over" at 1-2. Then came New Orleans. A 104-91 win sparked a petition to play the Pelicans "another 78 times," and a 127-120 escape in Phoenix had Jamal Murray hailed as a "beast of a basketball player." Denver sits 3-2, and misery holds at 53, exactly where it started: winning, apparently, changes nothing.
What fans said
“His frequently combative nature to the media is probably rubbing off on the players, and it's just a miserable fucking team to watch.”
