    Nice team.
    Predictable clown coaching
    Predictable poor defense
    Predictable post-season isn't the same as the regular season results.

    Will always love this team....but watching year after year of the same thing with almosts zero growth is painful.

    Tru. It is sad, but you can predict travel south after this game. I don't know why this team is still what Denver's fan called them, but it is true. Of course it came from pussy coach.

    And of course I'll seat and watch next game and if we win I'll be happy, but I don't believe in them any more. CJ 4th quarter killed me.

    Its there, however, you have two ball dominate guards that do their own thing's. Powell didn't get that many touches because the ball doesn't come to him like it should. Just my opinion.
    Anytime you have a player shooting 30 times plus in a game, its 100% not coaching.

    This whole Dame/CJ era has been all talk no action. I can't read this bullshit quotes every time. They need to shut the fuck up. This team is embarrassing and has zero pride

    A good team finds ways to win when the shots aren't falling, they do it on the other side, with defense, we let scrubs like Rivers and Campazzo beat us, think about it, we cant beat a fucking Campazzo/Rivers backcourt. We are pathetic on defense

    I would think New Orleans would like him. They have a PG, a SF, Zion and a couple decent centers. They need a good scoring guard. Adding CJ should get them into the playoffs.

    You thought we were a “good” team? You thought our defense would get BETTER coming into this series? No wonder you’re always pissed off on here everyday.

    You think we’ll be a better defensive team in Game 4?

    I absolutely think we have more talent than the Nuggets without Murray, Barton etc.

    So there ya go. No need to get fired up and freak out next game...... you know what to expect right? You’re part of the whole blame Stotts for everything from our defense to our turnovers to global warming crew.....so you’d think you would just sit back and enjoy the ride with a smile on your face. And remember the Alfredo guy and his partner nate have been telling us since December that big changes are coming! So plan on another L and your viewing experience will be much more enjoyable.

    It's not a series until a team wins on the road....well.....we can say it's a series! Many people expected a 7 game dogfight and it looks like that's possible now because this is how that happens.....tough test but it's playoff time...expect nothing else

    On paper our team looks good, and the post All Star break defense has been okay, and Denver was a good matchup without Murray, if they are not, which Team is a good matchup?

    It's because the Blazers have a healthier and more talented team and should still win.

    So when Stotts said he's going to do things differently this year and personnel was brought in to help that change but then the coach goes "sike, we're just gonna go back to running the old stuff so it looks like I have no good players," that is on the GM for not fixing it?

    That would have required beating GS in the play-in and then being tired and having less time to prepare though.
