    Any of the rookies would have been pulled for standing and watching a 3-point shooter instead of running at him.

    the problem is the role we have for him. he should be playing 20 mpg and primarily a scoring threat.

    playing him for 30 mpg and being in this role is madness.

    I was certainly concerned about this once the honeymoon ended and the grind started. Not saying it’s happening I’m just saying it’s been on my mind every game he’s played with us

    Little says it’s not that serious. But for Thursday Gabriel backs up Melo Mario fuck off.

    This is why I think we should get that lottery pick. Anyways this is largely what I think a first round match up would feel like

    He just might being showing is age and without playing all year last year might be him getting a little tire. He more effective in the 1st half then he is in the 2nd half in games. Plus I noticed around the rim he doesn't have that lift. But I will continue to watch if he starting to continue to fall. I noticed his lateral quickness is not good and terrible guarding the 3 point line. I am not saying he throu but he might be heading that direction thou.

    Wouldn't Nurkic and Collins be a part of our first round matchup? You think we'd still lose by nearly 30 points?

    Was there really no way to play Lillard less than 30 minutes in a game that was over by halftime ?

    Denver is hard to beat at home. We lost by 28. Portland is nowhere to be found with this thrashing. Oh well. Brush it off and go for another 4 game win streak.

    Probably not, but they will also get back Millsap, Plumlee and Porter Jr.

    It's impossible to quantify this kinda stuff about who's better when healthy or not, etc.

    We just beat a completely healthy team in LA while missing our guys. Does that mean we're better than them in a vacuum? Need to just evaluate based on what we saw-- ie., Denver is much better than us in this one game, and are well ahead of us in the standings.

    Sobering thought.

    We have to go 30-1 to match our record from last year.

    Sorry, but I can't just "brush off" this loss. They were embarrassing. The team has to come with a better effort than that.

    Funny part is this is the easiest loss for players to brush off.
