    Not if our coach doesn't call out our players for being soft and losing concentration. Denver will come for the kill and the question is, does anyone have killer instinct on this team besides Dame?

    Man Dame really deserved this one. Can’t win a game with just one dude though, the rest of the team didn’t show up in OT.

    Lakers getting blown out right now helping to ease the pain.

    No cap space to sign them. Not to mention the 33 million dollars of deadweight.

    My heart breaks that dame didn't have the help to win when he gave an absolutely unbelievable unforgettable performance. No help in the end. 2 blown dunks?? Wtf. Dame deserves better.

    Thank you!! Who cares regardless Dame can’t beat NBA playoff teams by himself. His coach sucks, his teammates suck, they’re all just garbage. Get him out of his misery

    Give Denver credit...they beat us ....Jokic was on fumes....Nurk fouling out was the killer but we got stops and had a chance to win this after being down 22 in the beginning of the game...yeah Dame was amazing but we lost as a team...

    As an aside, do we really think RHJ is the best option on the roster for the spot in which he's playing? I mean, do we really think Little or Jones would be equally ineffective? I have to belive those slides at the beginning of the 2nd and 4th are what truly cost the game. There's no reason any lineup we put out on the floor in that timetable should be that bad.

    Random thought:

    We would have been better with CJ fouled out of the game and Ant sitting in that corner shooting the open shot.

    The Blazers ruin Dame's historic night and find themselves in a 3-2 series hole to the Nuggets and are now one loss away from elimination. Let's talk this one out on the Blazers Uprise Postgame Show...

    Oh, I think we can find takers for him. The guy can ball, he just needs to be the lead guard. I just hope it's not Olshey's decision.

    Jokic was getting fouled every time he touched the ball. He was bleeding from 3 different places on his arm. Can't be to upset with the refs.

    What pisses me off is that we spent the whole season helping Melo, that we never developed the rest of the bench unit. It’s not like we were the #1 seed the whole time. Could have used more depth tonight, just look at Denver, they had a bunch of guys they could call on for help. That is the difference.
