    We can beat this team if we protect the ball and move the ball.

    Refs clubbed us like baby seals. It looked like they were purposely trying to keep the score Denver +10.

    Aminu SUUUUCKED. If he's ever had a worse playoff performance, I'm glad I don't remember it. Was he in on it with the refs?

    I expected better from Meyers. And more from Mo.

    Our bench has been killing us all playoffs. Maybe Stotts should go back to the regular season rotation. Need more Jake Bells.

    Good night, Martha.

    Or shorten the rotation to like 8 players.

    I absolutely agree we can beat this team. But our role players like Aminu and Harkless have to be damn near perfect.. I just think they used all that up in the Thunder series

    The problem is Aminu and Harkless are just to damn inconsistent. You never know what your going to get from them. It’s why I personally hate their game and can’t wait till their gone.

    We'll win this next game. We'll get more from CJ. We'll get more from our role players. I also think we can do a better job overall defensively.

    We looked like a team that had five days off. We'll be sharper for game 2.

    Yes and we all knew going into this game that Kanter is definitely the better player than Jokic and his defensive prowess would hold Jokic to a triple single. (green font anyone?)

    Sly, we don't need this. I swear to God, we do not need this right now, okay? We've got a team that's just aching to throw us out of the playoffs, an idiot who can't score making millions of dollars, Meyers Leonard, giant loud whistles. Kingspeed ain't slept in five days. HCP got no money, and a little playoff series which, in the balance, holds the lives of 15 young men, not to mention your (stamps foot three times) biological clock; my career, your life, and let me see, what else can we pile on? Is there any more shit we can pile on to the top of the outcome of this series?! Is it possible?!

    I just realized that Slys little rant was directed at a poster. Someone I already had on ignore! Yeah, that's you @RSC60 !!! Lmao. I'm digging this "ignore" shit, but it's taking a bit to get used to. Two enjoyable game threads in a row for me....

    Relying on Aminu and Harmless to be consistent scorers seems like a fool's errand. Add in Stotts' fascination with Turner and this was only a matter of time. Jokic is much smarter than Westbrook. ... Hopefully Blazers can turn it around.

    Our bench scored the same as Denver’s I believe. And some our guys were pluses. I don’t think our bench was the problem. Hell Turner had an outstanding game.

    What’s your problem with Turner? 8 rebounds (4 offensive), 4 assists, 0 turnovers, and a big block on Millsap when no one else had an answer for him. In 10 minutes.

    wow, the doom and gloomers were out in force after the game and this morning. It was one game, one loss against the team with the best home record in the league. We have one of the best home records as well and Denver is under .500 on the road. This series is a long ways away from being over. Some of you need to suck it up and cheer the team on and less whining. I'm outa here.
