it's closer than the records or series indicates, imo. let's see if they hit those contested threes in la. if they do, then they're that good, i guess. but that was some bs. i think even they were surprised by the time the 4th one dropped there in the 4th quarter. i thought we outplayed them, and that flurry of insane shooting killed us. well, our stars missing everything to prevent us from being up 20 before that killed us, too.
I am denying that by watching the game. Especially this one. We win this easily had Bron simply gave up his 3s, same spot, same play, to the guy shooting 55 f***ing % or the guy shooting 90 % from the field. But he is an egotistical, lazy frontrunner. So here we are.
The only thing that does bother me about this will be the media and delusional fans. Both are going to act like Denver took down Goliath like we aren’t the underdog here and our 3rd best player isn’t a 2nd year undrafted player and LeBron isn’t a million years old and playing on an injury that requires surgery.
sure it's close, but they're still the better team. part of winning in the playoffs is getting all the bounces go your way and getting hot at the right time. denver certainly has checked both those boxes so far this series. their stars have stepped up both games, ours haven't. that's a better team
yeah, that's my issue, too. we killed it in the last part of the season and would have challenged for the west's top record if we had this team all year. i think we head into next year as good as anyone, but denver is fully healthy and playing basically the exact same rotation they have all season long. that's hard to overcome.
3 pt % is more important than most people here understand. Threes were the difference today. we have had 1 consistent shooter throughout the playoffs... Reaves, whereas with Denver all their starters can hit the 3 at an above-average rate. If Jokic is not going like today, Murray or MPJ gets hot. also doesnt help that Lebron turned into Westbrick from 3 this season.
Why can't Rui ply a whole quarter when he was hot, we sat him for so long LeBron is an idiot really but ham is the enabler, if he's tired and can't drive sit him As for AD? What an embarrassment. They put a charge on you that you're soft and you wore it Now the saying is you take every other game off and you are literally proving them right How much are you getting paid to do that you moron
and that's why denver's the better team. even beyond murray and MPJ, they have brown and KCP who can consistently knock down 3s. oh, and jokic on top of all that. there's a reason why they were the #1 seed pretty much all season
LOL. You don't need 5 people that consistently shoot 3s well. All you need is for 25% shooter to not take 6 and make f***ing 0.
Maybe I made this up in my head, but vaguely recall a game either earlier this season (or maybe last season) where Denver had an ugly win against us. Think it played out similarly where we staged a comeback towards the end but narrowly came up short. And Jokic was asked about it afterwards, and said something along the lines of how he’s not too worried because when you’re the better team you find a way to win and that’s all that matters. The way these first two games reminded me a lot about that, and it’s a bit demoralizing
