Brian Shaw is resorting to desperate measures in order to get through to his Nuggets

Brian Shaw is resorting to desperate measures in order to get through to his Nuggets

It’s pretty clear that Denver Nuggets head coach has had a hard time getting through to his players this season. The struggling team is 19-31, it has lost 11 of 12, and Shaw has openly admitted that he thinks his players are playing to lose.

As a result, Shaw is falling back on old, well-worn tactics to get through to the players he’s charged with leading. We’re just going to leave this aside from the Boston Herald’s Steve Bulpett right here:

He said he’s been trying everything to get his players motivated through a series of injuries and the trading of starting center Timofey Mozgov for draft picks (sound familiar?).

Shaw even admitted to rapping a pregame personnel report. Seriously.

Rapping. Rap-rap-rapping.

You’ll recall that Shaw has some experience in the genre

… but if the Nuggets’ current woes are any indication, this certainly wasn’t a mic drop moment.
