Nuggets lose Game 7, is there an issue with blaming fatigue for the loss? | NBA | SPEAK
Спорт
The Denver Nuggets lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves after leading by 15 at the half. Nuggets HC Michael Malone said that the “guys are gassed, they’re dead tired.” Emmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor, James Jones, and LeSean McCoy ask if it’s fair for the Nuggets to blame fatigue for the loss.

The coach needs to accept responsibility for the loss, they were not fatigued because they played extra games last year or played more this year. They were fatigued because he played them the whole game. No players should ever play more than 36 minutes. That’s why you have a bench. Everybody in the NBA can play. Play your darn bench coach !!!! quit making excuses for your bad decisions

Denver has an inherent advantage of playing/living in a higher altitude. They shouldn’t be as tired as the T. Wolves
James is correct
Fatigue is a stupid excuse. If that were the case then you must also acknowledge that the opposing team that just beat you also played 7 games, while beating you in your hometown with the altitude against them.

The fatigue factor was the lack of depth and bad coaching, getting players roated in and out for rest.
I remember when lebron was actually fatigue from tryna beat the KD Steph n Klay warriors by himself and whenhe lost and said he was fatigued the sport media DESTROYED HIM!!! KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY U LAMES
Gobert was dialed in, making free throws, demanding the ball and making shots when he had it, but Edwards passed up giving him the ball when he was wide opened, acting as if he had to take the shot when his shots were not falling. Jordan on his worst days scored 22.
So it wasn’t fatigue when they blew out the twolves in game 4 and was up by 20 in the 3rd quarter of game 7, they choked, period GTFOH
Shady took them to school on this one
Acho shut up they played all the more games. And they won a chip
34/19/7 says Joker was REEEAL tired…they were outmatched, the bench scoring 5 points was more responsible than fatigue
When you're cussing out a reporter for asking why you blew a 20 pt lead in a game 7 then you're making excuses. Also like James said, they got 1 ring. They aren't a team that's won multiple chips who could reasonably use fatigue as an excuse.
No one made these excuses for the Lakers and Heat in 2021 after they had the shortest offseason in American professional sports history. They had like 72 days off before the next season started after playing in the 2020 finals and they played a compressed season with multiple back to backs and 3 games in 4 nights.
It's a difference from looking fatigued and looking defeated, the look of defeat is what the Nuggets showed not fatigue
Meanwhile the Celtics played the same amount of games as Denver since last year and they're still in the playoffs. That's a bunch of BS.

James Jones is literally the only person who makes sense up there
Fatigue is a part of the game. When Kobe was fatigued he knew what to do, he adapted to find a way to win, to practice shots when fatigued to know what to go to. Curry was fatigued, Lebron was fatigued. Teams literally try to wear other players down, doubling them, literally having a sub in just to foul a star to get them fatigued! To go on a championship run you have to be ready for that. You have to find a way to win close, physical games. Timberwolves wore them out, Timberwolves were the better team.

The wolves are a young,hungry teeam with no pressure to win it all. That is a dangerous team

Context is important, while I agree fatigue is a cop-out this comment is a face value statement without any real analysis.
They lost. Blaming fatigue is an easy out. That’s why going back to back is very hard. They were the hunted and couldn’t handle the pressure. The Bulls in the 90s, Lakers in the 2000s, Lakers in the 2010s, Lebron 8 straight, GS 5 straight. We need to give these teams more credit. It’s not easy making these long runs. They are a good team. They will probably be back next year.
This had nothing to do with fatigue. That point is useless to make.
lol so last year the Lakers faced Nuggets in CF and lost everyone said they looked gassed and a better team shouldn’t be gassed yet. Y’all were talking Jokic top 10 higher, dynasty talk, then they lose in 2nd round and suddenly “fatigue” is an issue. What a joke. Maybe Nuggets had an easy path last year with little adversity. Jokic and Nuggets have never won a playoff series against a team that had 50+ wins in regular season. They are 0-5. It’s not fatigue, they are front runners…
Fatigue is part of coaching . But he doesn’t wanna admit
Trynna say it was fatigue from a year ago is crazy 🤣
The Nuggets were up 20 at one point Jokic and them could’ve definitely gotten a breather. I don’t wanna hear anything about fatigue.
I will be looking at joy and aucho sideways, you can’t say fatigue is a solid explanation. Watching the game you can see defense and role players were the factor
I’m shook Joy actually agreed with Acho’s BS smh
No it's not fatigue. The Nuggets got beat at home in this series 3x. The Wolves defense won this series and beat the Nuggets, plain and simple. Fatigue is a lame excuse to even say, especially for the defending champions who only went to the finals and won the chip once.
These debates are getting more ridiculous. They must be tired 😂
Fatigue is not a real excuse. I don't think you can use games last season and connect that to being tired in a new season after an off-season has passed. That logic doesn't make sense for a pro athlete.
