The Denver Nuggets, barring disaster, are poised and ready for the stretch playoff run, and with less than two months of regular season basketball, they find themselves in a favorable position. Every seed is within reach (though the 1st seed seems unlikely after the last loss to the Lakers). With this in mind, let’s talk about gamesmanship.
The definition of gamesmanship, according to Merriam Website is, “the use of ethically dubious methods to gain an objective”. As the Nuggets completed their game on the last night of the NBA’s regular-season 2019, many locally were applauding coach Michael Malone’s craftiness and strategy of manipulating the playing field to get his team into the best playoff match-up possible whilst others were outraged.
