Nuggets’ humbling loss to Celtics raises uncomfortable questions: “What are we trying to do?”

There was a healthy amount of soul-searching inside the Nuggets’ locker room late Sunday night.

Several players spoke up and aired their grievances, according to Bones Hyland, in the wake of the Celtics’ 124-104 drubbing. The rookie was tabbed to address the media even though several veterans were requested.

Among the players who spoke up, only DeMarcus Cousins’ message was known.

“The way we’re playing is unacceptable,” he said, according to Hyland.

But that aspect — after yielding 19 3-pointers and allowing Boston to shoot 57% from the field — was a given.
