Ratfarts! (tip of the hat to the late, great Harold Ramis)

LA is coming back tomorrow, right?

Will Lopez be the first player to play 58 minutes un regulation tomorrow? He'll play both positions at once?

So many of the NBA's TV teams are just god awful. I don't even listen to Mike and Mike anymore I turn Wheels on for the game and sync it up to whatever stream i'm watching, makes the games 1000x more enjoyable.

I think Wheels is good at what he does, but I hate listening to his broadcasts. So up and down with performance, it'd do difficult for me to deal with. Love the exciteable calls, but when you tune in and here...so and so launches from 3..of cooourse it's in. It's draining to listen to for me.

Rich Patterson ‏@richpatterson1 With tonight's win in Denver, @trailblazers sweep the Nuggets in Denver for only the 4th time since 1976. Others were 90-91, 95-96 & 96-97.

It's no coincidence that this is the first time in years we haven't played at least one of these games in the Mile High on a second night of a back to back.

As an aside, it sucks I couldn't use my tickets. I would have enjoyed this game.

No one else is stepping up.

I would have rather he went iso when Claver and Robinson were in there at the same time, than now.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

The funniest thing for me was, after stretches where we played Mo, Barton, McCollum, Robinson and Claver, the Denver announcers were saying "Wow, our Nuggets have really stepped up the defense!" by the way, didn't McCollum look very tentative tonight?

I had an opportunity to re watch the game last night. After watching it, I'm chalking up our 4th quarter swoon to the altitude. It's a real thing; you simply get more fatigued up here. We were shooting with more arm and less leg at the end of the game. The Nuggets, whose bodies have adjusted to it, weren't as affected.

The more I think about this win, the more satisfied I am with it.

Karl's take:
