    I think CJ is overrated and he sure proved that this series, and tonight, but he shouldn't be booed for doing what the coach wants him to do

    In my defense:

    1. Overturning 3 free points and a foul on my most critical player < vague hope of a challenge working out in “crunch time”
    2. I thought giving Nurkic his third foul would really boost his confidence.
    3. I just smoked a fat blunt right before the game because I knew I was gettin fired tonight.

    He's very replaceable.

    Truthfully, he's just like this team in microcosm. You get one great game out of every four. We see what he's capable of and we fall in love with the potential. But he doesn't bring it every night. And he doesn't play intelligently enough.

    All three NEED to happen. Long overdue. This roster has become stale.

    yeah, that's salt in the wound because his 'I-told-you-so's' will be insufferable

    Thank you Damian Lillard for everything you gave to us in this series. You flat out played your ass off and single handedly would have won at least game 5 had you have any teammates whatsoever. Speaking of fuck everybody else on this team especially CJ and Stotts. I'll be so happy to never see you in a Blazer uniform again. But thank you again Dame, you mean so much to this franchise.

    Campazzo and Austin Rivers are not better than this current roster that is is neutered who you admit is fucking stupid. But you can't seem to drop your narrative for even a second that Olshey is at fault. WTF did Olshey do? He isn't the one that gave Denver all their momentum while up 14 tonight

    Dead. Coach. Walking.

    Not worth even listening to. It's utterly impossible to justify him not being looking for a job tomorrow.

    Assuming the players phoned it in that’s another really bad decision by the players.

    The end of this game had every single one of Terry’s weaknesses on display.

    Bad timeout management? Check

    Bad use or challenge? Check.

    Bad substitutions? Check.

    No offensive scheme to speak of? Check.

    Badly prepared team that melted down under pressure? Check.

    Defense? I don’t even need to say it. Torched by Morris and Rivers.
