On Saturday evening, the Denver Nuggets lost to the Los Angeles Clippers by a score of 109-104 on their home floor in Colorado.

The Nuggets are now 0-2 to start the season, which has had a lot of fans and media questioning them.

After Saturday's loss, former Nuggets coach George Karl sent out a post (via X).

Karl wrote: "Did the Nuggets front office think they had the required pieces for great overall guard play this season?"

NBA Fans reacted to Karl's post.

@dougastevens: "Calving Booth has been on a 16 month vacation. Hasn’t done jack. Seriously."

@whatluvsabout: "Calvin Booth needs to go."

@MilbusLani: "Christian Braun has been one of the top players in both games, thus far. You're really going to blame guards? Maybe check the defense and scoring of forwards?"

@C_Reilly5: "Nothing wrong with Murray, people overreact"

@Bsdkwalechaacha: "Arrogance…they thought they can revive Westbrook career…he was flop at wizard,lakers and clippers…n nuggets thought they are genius to sign him.."

Despite the loss, three-time MVP Nikola Jokic finished with 41 points, nine rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block while shooting 14/26 from the field and 7/12 from the three-point range in 37 minutes of playing time.

Following the Clippers, the Nuggets will play their next game on Monday evening when they host the Toronto Raptors in Denver.

Just sayin’"
