As soon as the Nuggets lost Sunday against the Timberwolves, their back-up point guard Jameer Nelson came under intense scrutiny.

I’m sure you all know by now that the Denver Nuggets just lost another heart-breaker on Sunday night, only this time to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, you may not already know that the outcome of the final seconds of the game have caused heavy scrutiny to fall upon one of the Nuggets players.

That player is Jameer Nelson.

As time was expiring in the game, it was Jameer Nelson who handled the ball while the Nuggets were down by two for the last possession of the game. Well, to say that fans are disappointed in how that played out would be an understatement.

Since then, people have been calling for Denver to give him the boot, or even for him to retire. This has been a pretty divisive topic on social media, and Nugg Love is no different. We have had varying opinions on this subject, so we decided to let all of our voices be heard on this matter.

Without any further ado, here’s a quick Nugg Love roundtalk on Jameer Nelson’s future with the Denver Nuggets.
