Is this real life?

 

[A$AP Meyers]

This series is over.

When you’re up 2-1 with a 6 point* half time lead at home in game 4, you finish your opponent off.

Doesn’t take anything away from the great run this team had. They certainly overachieved given the circumstances. But this was an enormous opportunity blown.

I’m trying not to be bitter because like I said, it truly was an amazing run. This team just isn’t good enough, and they’ve gotten their asses kicked for 6 straight quarters now.

 

[BonesJones]

This. If you've got a young, rebuilding team who isn't going to the playoffs any time soon, he's the coach for you.

If you've got a team of Veterans who are trying to make it past round 1, look elsewhere.

Well, we made it past round 1. Against a coach who can't make it past round 1.

If we want to seriously contend, we need a change. Should've gotten Budenholzer last season.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Our FT shooting is seriously fucking us over..it’s becoming a big deal

 

[Darkwebs]

Fuck these refs. Now the Blazers are getting a parade to the FT line. The refs are just prolonging our suffering in a blowout loss. If you want to give us free throws, give 'em when the game actually matters. Not when you want to even out the foul tally.

This series is over.

When you’re up 2-1 with a double digit half time lead at home in game 4, you finish your opponent off.

We didn’t have a double digit lead at half in game 4

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

We should start Dame, CJ, Moe, Collins, and Meyers in game 6.

Moe is our best defender on Murray. Collins is our best defender on Milsap. Meyers is the most capable of setting screens to get Dame and Cj open looks. He also seems to be the most effective on the pass when they trap the pick and roll and he can stretch the floor.

Additionally, if this team wants to take the next steps, Zach Collins has to become a 30 minute a night player. He has shown flashes he can shoot it, finish ard the rim, and is our best rim protector without nurk.

Getting clowned by a guy named Jauncho.

Do we care?

 

[LuckyShot]

Love all these weak ass touch fouls the refs are all of a sudden seeing by Denver. Fuckasses.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

They’re acting like they won the series, not a good look.

They did last game, look how our team came out tonight.

Getting clowned by a guy named Jauncho.

Do we care?

I don’t but our players better.

 

[LuckyShot]

Keep trying to score more, assholes.

 

[BonesJones]

Lose by 26 LMAO.

Pathetic.

 

[Titan]

Well well well...

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I fucking hate this Denver team

 

[LayneStaley]

Guess it’s time for the Red unis.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

They did last game, look how our team came out tonight.

I have a good feeling about game 6 and 7 now, I just feel it.

 

[Titan]

The curse of Chuck, I hate when he picks us

 

[LuckyShot]

Team decided to be gone fishing a couple of games early.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

We didn’t have a double digit lead at half in game 4

You’re right. Sorry. 6 point lead. For some reason I thought we were up more than we really were. My point remains. We could smell blood.

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

We are going to comeback in Denver

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

Game 7

 

[VenomXL]

I just don’t understand how they come out so unprepared tonight. I’m absolutely sick about it.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I've been too busy with school to pay close attention to this series, but looking at the numbers -- Even though he's filling the stat sheet, Dame's impact has been marginal at best in this series

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Fuck this shit it’s going 7 and we’re gonna win 5 on 8 fuck this bullshit

 

[LuckyShot]

I have a good feeling about game 6 and 7 now, I just feel it.

Is Terry going to get off his lazy ass and finally coach? Are his players going to box out and stay focused defensively? Will we attack the basket and move the ball more on offense? Why would he wait until just now to pull that out of his ass?
