NAW, Conley, Ant and Gobert. Combined 2-22.

Rudy. wtf. I don’t know what’s worse, getting crushed on the glass or our guards (Ant, Conley, Naw) going 2-17.

Awful end to the half per usual Conley getting hammered on a layup no call layup on the other end.

I don't understand why kat turns down a wide open 3 at the top of the key to pass to NAW who hasn't made a thing tonight?

Conley and Edwards are 1 for 7 and NAW is 0-5. We're lucky we're not down by more.

This is the scheme we used when we lost 2 at home. Come on coaches!!!!!

Time to go five out. I think you have to sub Rudy for offense. Spacing is a problem.

We need to sit Rudy and run Ant with an open corner in the 2nd half or they are going to trap us to death.
This is the worst offensive performance I've ever seen in a playoff game and its all self-inflicted from awful coaching.

My hope is fading.
Thankfully KAT is having a good game or we would be down 30.

This game is close to over, but it's not over. We need to come up big in the third quarter. No way in hell Denver blows a double digit 4th Qtr lead.

Can't win games when your guard rotation goes 2/19. Just brutal stuff.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Karl is the only Wolf hitting his shots but has been conditioned not to shoot. Naz is also only 1-2 from both deep and the field. For this many guys to no show a game 7 is more depressing than the refs, and they have been screwing us just as expected. Two of Jaden’s fouls were just not fouls, or worse, fouls on Murray.

We need offense, I’d go with KAT + Naz and see how it goes

Terrible effort so far. As soon as a team harass us, we have 0 answer. Painful to watch. Will probably head to office and skip second half as i have never been more frustrated looking one game than now. Except KAT, everybody s..... tonight.

Can we get Karl or Naz matched up with Jokic on offense? Make him work. Him and Murray have 1 foul between them.

Jokic has 5 offensive rebounds (15 total) and Rudy has 4 total rebounds.
Embarrassing.

Easy defensive rebounds for him because we are putting absolutely NO pressure on their defense and letting them dictate everything.

On the positive end, we can't play worse!

Last year Denver came back and beat us 3 times when we were up by 20 or more. We can come back.

Honestly this is going to come down to coaching, specifically getting Ant free and good looks for him. Kyle shouldn't see the floor in the 2nd half, Rudy should be situational as we need to go offense first, 5 out to get back in the game.
Naz Reid.
