Yeah.
It's going to be tough to find a worse watch than that last 48 minutes was.

Chapter 7: How did Julian Strawther perform in this matchup?
Oh, man. The people in the chat right now, the sickos on the watch along, the sickos in the chat, the absolute real ones. Never been any more real one than you guys.
Superstar Dev also here. I just cannot believe that we had to go through that. We endured that as a family, as a unit. Yeah. And I'm so happy that it's done.
Look, man, this is what you sign up for. This is the NBA season. Some nights you get the minus seven game in Philly. Other nights you get this blowout loss of the Hornets. That wasn't even close from the beginning. Let's go to our fast breakdown. This is going to be a really quick one. Then we'll get to our big takeaways.
Chapter 8: What are the implications of this loss for the Nuggets' season?
I have two notes from this game. Then I just stopped. I have two notes. They're both in the first quarter. And honestly, the first note kind of told the story of the game. Kind of because the Hornets shot five of seven from three to open this game. The Nuggets couldn't hit anything.
And that was the biggest reason or one of the biggest reasons why Charlotte outscored Denver 33-18 in the first quarter. The other reason, and my second note of the game, Charlotte crushing Denver on the glass.
Accurate.
And that was another big reason why this was an absolute blowout. The Hornets got hot in the first half from three, tailed off, but throughout really the entire game, crushed the Nuggets on the glass. It was something we talked about in the pregame show coming into this game.
Charlotte, great rebounding team, really good offensive rebounding team, and the Nuggets know Aaron Gordon, the Nuggets sitting him, you know, just to be sure about that hamstring on the second night of the back-to-back. They start Deron Holmes at center. We thought rebounding could be an issue, and it absolutely was. The Hornets out-rebounded the Nuggets 52-29 in this game.
16 offensive rebounds. Most of those were in the first half, and then by halftime, this game was pretty much done. Julian Strother got hot late. He finished with 15 points. Zeke Nagy hit some shots in the fourth as well. Bruce Brown got a couple buckets to fall. Overall, though, this was a laugher for pretty much most of the way.
Charlotte just outclassed Denver, out-executed them, was the better team from game one or from minute one to minute 48 in this one. No doubt. Really, no way to sugarcoat it. The Nuggets got absolutely smacked in this game. Kind of felt like it might have been coming, though, after all these feel-good wins. But let's go to our Red Hawk Roofing Big Takeaways without any further ado. Dev?
My Redhawk roofing big takeaway is truly my silver lining in this one. Yeah. For them to be down four starters, for them to pull AG at that point and to not play Jokic for another game, this is how I envisioned every single game going.
Yeah.
