    Keep the faith dude. Do you personally give up after a bad day or two? Nope, you just hope tomorrow is a better day. No other way to look at it.

    This is the definition of LOW IQ BASKETBALL. Denver is soft as pudding in the middle. Jokic and Plumlee are no rim protectors. Attack the middle! Don't settle for the Aminu or Turner 3 point shot. UUGGHHH! So frustrated with this Coach you have no idea.

    We have terrific personnel. We are a very talented team but this Coach doesn't know how to utilize it properly.

    Zach's shot is so f-ing close. I swear he hits either the inside of the rim or hits dead on but short. I know we need those shots but dang he is a rookie. Patience is hard right now. Luckily he has been tough on D.

    So you're going to be extremely negative and blast me for being negative. Got it.

    Don't try and start shit when people are frustrated. People aren't happy. Get over it.

    If you dont like the negativity, maybe try, I dunno... Being positive?

    The process of getting an 8 seed was more fun than the process of getting a 3 seed.

    It's the losing vs. winning part. The team raised my expectations with great play and now they're performing below them. It's a letdown verse the opposite.

    I’m done with the “shit”. You don’t handle criticism (constructive or otherwise) worth beans. You’re the frickin’ expert based on a year of playing community college ball and the rest of us don’t know squat. You’re always calling others out but you can’t handle being called out yourself. Thanks for making this a fun place to come to.

    At one point I began thinking that CJ should be the guy that Baldwin comes in for, not Pat or Napier.
