Wenyen : Makes a block after about 30 seconds of playing time

Stotts : Good job, now sit the fuck down

Denver is hard to beat at home. We lost by 28. Portland is nowhere to be found with this thrashing. Oh well. Brush it off and go for another 4 game win streak.

Dodged a bullet!

This dude...




How about the #3 scorer and the #3 rebounder?

 

[TBpup]

Wouldn't Nurkic and Collins be a part of our first round matchup? You think we'd still lose by nearly 30 points?

Probably not, but they will also get back Millsap, Plumlee and Porter Jr.

It's impossible to quantify this kinda stuff about who's better when healthy or not, etc.

We just beat a completely healthy team in LA while missing our guys. Does that mean we're better than them in a vacuum? Need to just evaluate based on what we saw-- ie., Denver is much better than us in this one game, and are well ahead of us in the standings.

Sobering thought.

We have to go 30-1 to match our record from last year.

Sorry, but I can't just "brush off" this loss. They were embarrassing. The team has to come with a better effort than that.

Funny part is this is the easiest loss for players to brush off.

How do you figure?

Hard for me to believe in this team when it fails to show up so often.

If the only way this team can compete is when Dame is playing at an otherworldly level, then its not worth getting too hyped about.

People can say it's one loss after a string of good wins. I can accept the "one loss" part, but the not even being in the game after the early part of the second quarter can't be easily dismissed, because we've seen more of those this year than the string of good wins.

Oh yeah? What's funny about it?

Scott Foster and crew at it’s best last night

Those guys will be a shell of themselves for atleast the first 20 games they play. Which is totally understandable obviously. So it’s just really pointless THIS season. Next year healthy we should be fine but again this year? Nahh

It was hilarious to see NBA on ESPN tweet this as if it was some amazing defensive play.



Oh and the official NBA account did the same

 

[kjironman1]

Oh yeah? What's funny about it?

Lets just say funny to me.

 

[kjironman1]

How do you figure?

Fans draw much more from a loss or a win than players do.

"Easiest loss to get over"

Hyperbole??

 

[HailBlazers]

CANNOT wait until the day I find myself sitting 100 level of a game Scott Foster is refing.

 

[kjironman1]

Thinking we should take a collection and make this happen! I can read the headline now.
@HailBlazers from RC2 gets thrown out!
