    There was simply too much time left on the clock.

    I would trade him for Antman, Tatum, or Luka but none of those are happening.

    2-0. They held serve. We're not bouncing back. We needed one of those games and it didn't materialize.

    Series will be order in short order now. Just a matter of time.

    probably not also after mpj tying 3 most coaches would call a TO to draw up a play but then again Ham doesn't know what to do, that possession was bad even tho he was open due to den player falling down n even if he made den probably had a play in mind even w/o having no TO, we had 2....what we save 2 for?

    How bad Ham is isn’t being discussed.
    Yes you’re right they would have had a play because even if they did take more time off the clock Denver still would have had 5-6 seconds left which as we know is an eternity in BB.So yes he took the right shot.

    Apart from D-LO’s improved play in game two, we’re not getting squat from our role players - whereas DEN has gotten balanced scoring from all five of their starters in both games.

    You know I wouldn't be surprised if Mikey's strategy is a version of the rope a dope. to let us cook in the first half or even the first 36-38 minutes, letting us expend our energy especially in the mile high building. Then as our guys are holding on the their knees, trying to find their wind or asking to be subbed out to catch a breather like Bron, that's when he tells his guys to flip that switch. Knowing they can out execute us in their sleep. The chemistry and attention to detail shown by all 5 on the court is frustratingly impressive... especially when you look on the other side and see Ham Sandwich.

    Through 3 quarters Murray had 6 points on 3-16 shooting. In the 4Q he goes for 14 on 6-8 with the game winner. That team is a well oiled machine down the stretch... every damn game.

    Need to practice a lot of Rui screens and AD post ups.
    If wood can give them 10 minutes that would really help AD from getting gassed
