“If you look at the schedule, obviously this’d probably be a scheduling loss, right? So for all intents and purposes, we’re kind of 1-and-1 on the trip right now. Now, we go into Golden State and Utah and try to get two wins.”
That was Spencer Dinwiddie not excusing, but rationalizing the Brooklyn Nets’ loss to the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, the second night of a back-to-back. The Nets, like many other challengers who have faced the same scheduling nonsense, ran out of gas quickly. They not only lost to the (obviously deserving) Nuggets, but didn’t even make it to the fourth quarter.
