It would be nice to see Lou find his shot. He's been pretty brutal offensively. Missing everything.

Yeah, the way I'm avoiding even picking up my iphone right now is the greatest feeling ever.

I'm so happy right now.

Overusage And Underestimation 

Post#125 » by Wammy Giveaway » Sat Sep 12, 2020 1:28 am

History is repeating itself. Clippers allowed the Nuggets to come back because Doc Rivers wanted a challenge for himself. He felt the 3-1 lead was too easy. So easy that he underestimated the Nugget's 3-1 comeback in the 1st round, as if it would not happen to him again, not this time, not with Leonard and George.

And especially, not with Jerry West.

I'll believe that when I see it. This franchise deserves zero benefit of the doubt, all they've ever done in the playoffs is choke and get eliminated before the conference finals. As far as I'm concerned, Denver just won the series.

Still enjoying it. I'm very confidet we can win this series. The coach cost us the game. I'm a little more worried about the next round but I'm confident we can close out this series.

Yup. Bc **** does happen. This team is not that team. At all. I'm not the slightest bit concerned.

People said it vs Dallas too.

On a side note, I'm done with Lou and Trez. Those two can't be on the roster next season, period.

Up 3-1.
Pretty dominant in Game 4.

Will we keep our foot on the GD gas?

I'm not even paying attention to the posters that revel in losses so they can feel "right" moving on to Sunday

I'm done with the whole "Denver is a good team, elimination games are hard" excuse, too. Other teams around the league have no issues closing out series when they have the better team. We ALWAYS choke.

That series will forever haunt us, but this is a different team. This team has much better tools defensively, so that is an advantage, but of course one always wants an up 3-1 series to end in game 5. On to the next one.

We got the best player in the NBA. We have a chance to finish this out sunday. Doc can't make the same mistake twice. Should we win and close out this series, Doc cannot afford to do this against Lebron james. Lebron james is a cerebral assassin. He will hunt the switches out and exploit it all game. The loss is on doc, but I just hope we get it done on sunday. I really thought the energy of our team was great all night and that subs took us out of the game.

I wasn't worried when they cut into the lead. I figured doc would sub zu back in with leonard. He did not do that for a couple of possession than finally conceded to do so.
