    Maybe we should wear these more. Although we are 10-2 overall and have won 6 in a row, so it doesn’t seem to matter what we wear that much.

    I that play may have pissed me off more than any other of the game, or at least close to it. At the time I was saying in game time Denver has 2 guys you don’t leave open, and that was one, do not double off of Murray.

    Plumlee is taking some deserved major blame for the defense on that game winner



    someone in the comments brought up he did the same thing when Kuzma hit a shot to beat them. He was right. Good to know we can on that type of consistency from him



    Also this just for fun

    Dozier flexing, missing 4 straight free throws and then punching the ball at the end might be enough doom for me. I respect this Denver team. They play good defense in stretches and Jokic was a big time player to close the game.

    I've never seen 2 teams completely manage the last 3-4 the possessions correctly like that. The Nuggets and the Lakers both rushed into their offense in the last minute in order to squeeze another possession. I felt like 4-5 heads up plays were made in the last minute alone. I'm gonna rewatch this tomorrow morning for sure.

    This competitive Game 2 was a treat compared to the crap we saw last round. I think this is where the series gets really good. I don't expect the Nuggets to fold up, they will make adjustments while we have the coach and roster to do the same. Game 3 will be good.

    He'll get credit and Rob but not Rambis and Phil who actually had a hand in building this team.

    Phil has as much influence on this current roster as I do.

    I'm sorry. We owe it to LeBron James. No Klutch business partnership, no one comes here.

    So in part, Magic deserves credit.

    It seriously does. KCP was basically a human business card that can play D and hit 3 in a playoff rotation

    Yeah. But. It was truly sabotage what he did after leaving. Right before the most important free agency in our history basically and then continuing it with his Vogel presser override on national TV. Making the organization look like crap and starting all the media assault on the FO especially Rob right before and in the middle of trying to trade for Davis and then land Snake and / or other free agents.
