Brian Shaw: "It's worse than a slump"

Brian Shaw has said that the Denver Nuggets' form is "worse than a slump" following their eighth defeat in a row.

The Nuggets were beaten 114-102 by the Philadelphia 76ers last night, leaving them fourth in the Northwest Division.

The coach told reporters: "It's not even a slump right now, it's worse than a slump.

"Players are coming in and having their way with us. We're not making them uncomfortable, they're shooting the ball with a high percentage from the three-point line, we're giving up offensive rebounds.

"We're allowing penetration. Anyway we can get beat, we're getting beat."

The Nuggets face the Memphis Grizzlies tomorrow.
