    Damn. No length at the wings and in the post is really going to kill us. Oh well, they're still playing hard which is about all I can ask.

    To an extent. But they are also out-hustling and getting the offensive rebounds. Doesn't help we have no length at all really.

    We had one less OReb than them at the end of the 1st.

    While this is true, there's resulted in pretty easy tip ins.

    What's your point? You said they were outhustling us, which wasn't necessarily true.

    The energy of this game feels terrible. I'm worried Denver is going to run away with this thing. It's just too easy for them offensively right now.

    I can only think they were expecting make-up calls, but those were bad decisions. If Roy wants that call, he should keep going with the ball rather than actually lettig a shot off for Anderson to block. See also Bayless, Jerryd.

    This is the first game back from the road trip. Its always the hardest game. This shouldn't be surprising that we're feeling dead legs tonight.

    Okay, I was wrong, but they are crashing the boards pretty hard on the offensive side, at least did in the first quarter.

    Outworked and out manned, and going up soft.

    Wow at Roy. Makes up for the bad 3 with steal and getting his own miss.

    I wouldn't say that. The team is legitimately playing hard. It's tough when you don't have the personnel though.
