    I went to bed. About three minutes later i get the ESPN Text alert that Dame Hits shot and thought it was just delayed from the first OT, then i saw 2OT and jumped straight out of the sack and turn it back on only to see CJ step out of bounds.

    Not a CJ Bash thread. Tons of those. He felt and feels terrible. I could tell by his facial expression. Not his fault that we paid him and on a different team, he could/would be a star. If we get rid of him, watch it happen. He's been a good Blazer.

    Was a tough night for me. I am all in with this team as i am every year dating all the way back to our only Championship where i was a young lad back in PTown. That was the very first sports team i loved, lived and died for. I got to meet a lot of them dudes. Lionel The Train Hollins was my favorite. Not sure why, i was a kid and loved that dude.

    Here's to hoping we kick the shit out of the Nuggs tomorrow night and win the series later this week.

    This team is flawed but they are my team. Your team. Our team.

    RIP CITY

    I couldn’t belive it too, but it never really felt like we had a chance. We were down every time

    With the shorter rotation and the Double OT. I saw some fatigue for the first time this series. Saw it right around halftime for Dame Dolla but he found some adrenaline.

    I can beat that - I turned off when we were down 5 in regulation. I closed the laptop. I was confused when I opened the laptop ten minutes later and the stream was still going.

    Can somebody point me to a quality video of all of the last few minutes of regulation and the first OT?

    Can’t believe some of you would turn the game off before the buzzer sounds..playoffs nonetheless

    Exactly, Denver even short handed is just the better team. It’s sad to say but that’s how bad we are outside of Dame.. Hella sad

    Same. Haven’t you guys watched basketball before? Dame came back from 5 down with 8 secs left against Chicago earlier this year!

    It's because I have the Larry Bird/Jerry West syndrome: losing is much more painful than winning is pleasant.
