Denver Nuggets Coach Brian Shaw was assigned to his position at the start of the 2013-2014 season as replacement for George Karl. For a young coach and going after the like of Karl, he is under too much pressure. The Nuggets' current season is far from what the team has achieved last year when it was still under George Karl. From a top three team in the Western Conference last year, the team is now in danger of missing the playoffs, something that puts more weight on coach Shaw's shoulders.

If ever the 47-year old explodes, can you blame him?

Following a blow-out loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, the mild-mannered former Lakers has had enough. He can't take losing anymore that he let it all out to his team in the dug out, uttering some shocking words.

The Denver Post reported that coach show ripped his team for lacking interest to play and losing pride.

"As a coach and coaching staff, it's our job to try to find five players that want to go out and play and want to have some pride and not decide night-to-night that 'I'm going to play this game and I'm not going to play this game.' I felt like tonight we had some guys that just decided they weren't going to play tonight, they weren't going to put forth any effort to try to get the job done. It's unfortunate. It's a nationally televised game that we're professionals and as a staff we have to beg guys to give effort when they play," said Shaw as quoted by DP.

As if that is not enough to move his players, Shaw dropped some spicy words regarding his stars' paychecks.

"I told our team I wish paychecks were predicated on night-to-night performance. So if you play like a star on a given night then you get paid like a star. If you play like an uninspired player, then either you don't get paid or you get paid like an uninspired player. And you can't just pick and choose when you want. Last night we played Milwaukee, who is obviously down players, they have injuries, they've been struggling all season long and we act like the big bad wolf against Milwaukee. And then we come in tonight ... and we tuck our tails and we hide basically."

As of today, the Nuggets are holding a 25-29 win-loss record, 11th place in West Conference. Next on the team's schedule is another low-tier team Sacramento Kings tomorrow.
