    They're shooting 50% from 3 and we're not allowed to defend Jokic, while he's also allowed to elbow defenders out of the way for baskets. They should have 100.

    Nice of Denver to fall asleep in the last 30 seconds of the 3rd quarter to give the Blazers 5 points

    Give credit to Dame. Took super human effort to keep us in this. Still feels like they are 10 seconds from TKO'ing us.

    Blazers need this game or Denver has the tie-breaker with 3 months left in the season.

    That was one or two plays.

    We had Meyers stuck in between on a Jokic pick n roll because of scheme. Coaching mistake.

    Jokic lobbed to Plumlee, starting their momentum.

    Then we guard Jokic with Aminu. Coaching mistake.

    Jokic beasted Aminu in the post.

    So we had the 4 helpside guys all with two-feet in the paint. Coaching mistake.

    So they hit an open 3 and built momentum.

    Then they hit a couple more.

    Literally couldn't coach worse defense during that stretch. It happens near the end of the 3rd quarter all the time.

    ESPN annoys me so much. They're talkin about how amazing Harden is he shot 1-17 from 3. 11-32 from the field, and had 16!!!! FT's. No mention of how much of a ball hog he is though.
