    My problem is more with paying that much for 300 level. You end up watching most of the game on the monitor which i can do at home. The live and in the Moda part is exciting but watching the game is not better than my living room. When i have 200 or 100 level tickets there is no question the experience is better.

    I think he could be. Post him up down low and let him drive and get Jokic in foul trouble.

    This poll question is being asked far too early.

    I liked when they had the "audio assist" in game 2 to showing Denver bench and Malone's voice was cracking like a 13y old going through harsh puberty

    Kevin McHale is awful. If this commentating is any indication, he ain't getting any other coaching gig. His solution to everything is "just get to the basket."

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I never see Mike Malone playing Evan Turner, so I'll take him as the better coach.

    I know you hate the guy, but Terry is a much much much much better coach than McHale. You seem to forget 2014 when he had Kevin totally bamboozled.

    The playoffs have been erratic. There is a lack of consistency primarily due to fg&3pt %.
    Sixers, Bucks & Blazers all win game two and take HCA.
    I think its easier now to win away from home because the game is so swayed by fg%.

    i included the winky face to show the joke. McHale is a fucking joke, for sure. But that quote...it was just so very Terry. I would absolutely NOT be in favor of replacing Terry with McHale.

    I think those coaches are really close. It's really hard to pick one I keep going back and forth lol.

    Gotta agree. Have people already forgotten that Denver finished ahead of the Blazers? (without the benefit of a leader like Dame) This series isn't over yet.

    BTW, am I the only one whose opinion of Jokic is going down after the last 2 games? The guy is a thug who benefits from absurdly favorable calls.

    Yup, judging on the regular season Mike has done more with less than Terry. And while DEN hasn't been able to hit their shots, their offense looks better than ours. But I think we should win the series because we have superior talent.

    I mean, sorta but not really. Do they have Dame? Argument over.

    But to be a bit more serious...

    Their best player is an all-offense no-defense Center. That right there is already a huge problem to have to deal with - you've built your offense around the player that should anchor your defense but can't.

    Their best player is a slightly better version of our back-up (now starting) Center. (!) If that doesn't speak to the talent disparity I don't know what does.
