Let's go. Utah is now the second seed and has the tie breaker. They're playing very well. Let's dominate and go the hell home. This is a momentum win if they can win it

How is Denver as good as they are?
What's their strength?

Jokic is a top talent and they are deep. It’s like last year clips or maybe like this one with only one star. They are young and bouncey but Malone does a good job not letting the young guys go rogue beside Jokic and his weight

... Denver has a high assist ratio, I bet. They move the ball around well.

As soon as Walton's contract becomes guaranteed for the year, Doc starts forgetting he's on our roster and giving all his minutes to Jerome.

Is it just me, or do we fail to grab key rebounds more often than not?
Whatever the averages are, it seem like we're not "clutch" as is pertains to rebounding, specifically.

Another embarrassing defensive "effort" so far. Still waiting for this team to pass the eye test against anyone other than the Lakers.

We paid Zubac $28 million to warm the bench in key matchups because our coach doesn't care about defense.

Watched the warriors game on replay and this is the exact same thing that happened in that game. Starters play them close even a small lead but the terrible bench defense gives the other team confidence.

Guys start coming in and hitting shots with confidence and our guys start to get discouraged and make simple mistakes. The team gets flustered when behind and they have to hope to overpower a team late

No defense, ugly turnovers, still no answers from Doc. Same routine every game all year.
