    Leonard played good D on Jokic, but should have not shot the 2 threes coming into the game cold like that.
    Collins does the same thing.

    We're really lucky they aren't making their threes either.

    Beening down 9 isn't so bad, being in Denver and all. The third quarter will really set the tone

    We’d be winning if we were hitting 35% from 3. This is fucked.

    All things considered, I guess it could be worse. I "think" Dame will play a lot better in the 2nd half.

    Meyers Leonard the only one (except maybe CJ) playing with the required desire, and intensity. Everyone else looks like deer in headlights.

    If we just start hitting a normal percentage of these wide open shots, we could still win this despite playing 8 on 5. Denver ain't that special.

    stotts should have told him; you are not allowed to shoot in this series.

    They were wide open. Not many better options in the flow of the game.

    Against the Thunder.

    Denver is head and shoulders above the Thunder on all levels.

    Well, we could still win this in typical blazer fashion: 3rd/4th quarter comeback after trailing the whole game. It’s the games where we’re ahead the entire 1st half that scare me the most.

    Stotts should have played him earlier, both in this game and series.
