    Although it seemed easy for Murray to get Harkless leaning one way and then blow by him.

    It seems like he is doubleteaming some now; the problem is that the team is not used to it and so are not good at rotating efficiently.

    game threads are emotional...I get that. I can be emotional at times too and if I step over lines I apologize

    and, it's common to look for scapegoats and apportion blame. I get that too

    but in casting about for blame for the loss and the series being 2-2, maybe some blame should go to Denver for being a pretty damn good team who entered the series with HCA

    It's raining in California in May. Sign of the apocalypse.

    OK. Think how suicidal we all were after game one.

    I hurt lots but have to have faith they can dig deep in a must win.

    And if it comes down to losing a tight series with two injured centers, you know, we are not forever doomed or disgraced.

    Now just go win the fucking game Tuesday.

    Shouldn't he have learned how to handle pressure and get the ball quickly to someone besides Aminu? Or is this a coaching problem?

    I think it’s length, and stagnation of the offense.

    He is only 5 for 17 from three in this series so he is not shooting threes well either.

    In all seriousness, I think we would have won this game if we had Ed instead of Collins. And probably that other one we lost.

    you're completely full of shit

    Dame was 22-23 (95.6%) from the line in the last 4 RS games, and 36-38 (94.7%) over the last 8 RS games

    do you think that kind of lie is hard to check?

    I like some of you guys when we loose some always blame Zach on the lost. I am sorry it was about a lot the things that result to this loss

    Zach was brutal. Started with the missed point blank bunny in the second.

    I would have thought we would have seen more Meyers also.

    Tough to beat a good team 3 times in a row, especially in the playoffs.

    But this series could still easily end in 6.

    Showed we can win in Denver and haven't seen the best of Dame yet.

    It's alright bro. I totally understand. Just an emotional loss. Would have been great to get that win. Just think though. This series has been awesome and the Blazers absolutely can get a win on their court. Got to give credit to both teams for playing their hearts out. They are leaving it all out on the court.

    It's true. Even more crazy because it was free throws that cost them game one and Jokic missed a huge free throw in game three.

    See why I tell ya Denver has a bright future???

    Blazers been here many times where Denver all this is new to them..

    Blazers can’t even beat a new inexperienced team in the 2nd round

    Long story short, blazers need to realize this shit is rare and take advantage of it...


    But ah well 2nd round ain’t bad..!! Good for the baby nuggets
