    They did not help. Dame pressed when they got down big. Took some desperate 3s to get going. He should have started shooting earlier . No reason to try to get Aminu going early.

    CJ played well, 15-5 at half.

    He's always been good on plodding bigs. I'm so done with Stotts.

    I really think Jokic doesn't like the physical way Meyers play. It seems Meyers really gets under his skin and in his head. I hope we see more Meyers in the 2nd.

    Myers is better right now than Mo. Even with the two missed threes. We need his minutes and those will fall eventually

    sure....but for chrissakes, 15 down with 7 minutes less versus 9 down with 24 minutes left? It's not impossible

    And Denver only has 2 offensive rebounds. We're doing some things well but we have to make shots.

    Jokic doesn't like that he can't just force him out of his way and starts focusing more on how he can flop and get him fouled out.

    I don't mind him shooting them, I just don't like seeing our bigs do it as soon as they come into the game. Maybe run up and down the court a few times.

    Keep shooting Meyers! With 4 more swish3 attempts, 3 of them are likely to score! We must get our swish3 scoring back up in the 3rd Q, and Meyers can do it!

    Still in the game, but the problem is that Terry will come out with the same starting lineup and we'll be down 25 before you can blink and the game will be over.

    I can imagine our team celebrating at the end of this game. I can see it.

    A Dame 20 point 3rd quarter is what we need. Go into the 4th tied.

    You know Harkless and Aminu is piss due that Stotts play Leonard and Turner over them in the 2QT. But they did it to there selves. Harkless getting be like Turner just play stupid. Aminu I don't know going on with him it just seems like he already to sign with someone else in the off season.

    Better to slump first half than second half...Go Blazers! Go get this next 2 quarters!! Meyers is playing Jokic way better than Kanter is.

    Harkless is supposed to be a good defender but he's looked slow and disinterested all series.
