    Our next game is on the 24th. Let's win one for Kobe.

    I feel we were playing at 60 percent today, and without dismissing a solid Denver team feel that we can put together the couple of strong performances we need to carry us over the line.

    Hate being at the mercy of our inconsistency but feel we have still got this.

    Part of me feels we blew an excellent opportunity today. There was no way they came back from 3-0 down, as nobody does.

    But another part of me says, Denver is superior to what most people think. I do not want to over respect them, but this was almost another elimination final for them, and they responded to it. Fortunately for us (compared to the Flippers and Jazz), we also have a little something extra when we feel pressure is thrown back at us. Now let's show desperation needed to get 3-1 up and then 4-1 up. It won't be easy, but we are more than capable.

    Game 4, and it has just been announced the Lakers coach Vogel has thrown all of the bubble gum out of the Lakers hotel. For Vogel is only about one big bubble, and we got this. Hubba bubba. Big bubbles, no troubles.

    I’m so happy right now! It’s been a long, tough decade, but we’re finally back where we belong.

    We're winning this. It's not even optimism at this point, it's a fact.

    With Dragic and Bam injured? No doubt. Actually more Bam, as I think Dunn can somewhat replace Dragic

    We would have won it regardless, but if those guys can't go, it's a sweep.

    As long as they don't get cute, that is.

    If they can't go, it's a shame, really. Don't want to give all the haters any food for excuses.
