I know we’ve lost leading 24 with 8:30 left but thinking it’s an anomaly.

Have the bench work over Murray and KCP. Only one day off.

Stick a fork in us. We weren't right from the beginning.

I love us to win game 4!!

At least the officiating has been reasonably fair this 2nd half. Of course the game was out of hand by then. Mission accomplished.

We sucked tonight.

Our bigs get outrebounded all night long. When Mike and ANT are the best rebounder of the team, something is really wrong. Poor effort from Rudy, Naz and KAT in this side.

And NAW gets hurt on Jokic’s 75th illegal screen of the game.

If we are up and generating a lot of turnovers I can understand as they are both + defenders

Every time Murray makes a basket, it feels like Adam Silver is making the shot.

There is no way Murray should have been playing on this game. No way.

I hear ya but I was ok with him playing. They couldn't handicap Denver like that down 2-0 in the series.

Of course they can. What he did was extremely dangerous.

You think if one of our guys did it, he wouldn’t have been suspended?

What’s the technical count for each team?

Hey, to lose by 30 is much better than losing a close one.

i love us to win game 4!!! We'll be ready. No doubt!

So Monte Morris was available.

If he’s behind McLaughlin in the playoff rotation, he’s unlikely to be back next year.

I liked Monte Morris when we got him but he has been really disappointing. I'm surprised he's been so bad.

I think we move on from J Mac, Morris and KA, TJ Warren and Wendell Moore next yearThat's around 20 mil isn't it?

Moore is under contract.
