I'mma kinda keeping silent just to see how we look and if Kawhi stays healthy. I'm ready tho!
Yeah same, also outta respect for Jokic and their championship. But I really hope the team as a unit can reach a high level and rise to the occasion. I wanna see that JVG influence shine through in the playoffs.

Kind of relived I'll be at a wedding today otherwise I'll be spazzing watching the game.

Here’s what you missed

Kawhi’s lack of playmaking played a role plus he refused to assert himself

Norm’s all star snub looked justified as he wasn’t a factor and refused to dive for loose balls like Denver did when it mattered most

Lue got outcoached refusing to give Coffey time over Bog. Oh yeah they did that stupid out of bounds action where it takes 10 seconds for something to materialize and something bad typically happens

Harden & Zu were pretty good

That's why I didn't want to hear all that praise from the media all of a sudden. Let us prove it first.

Kawhi has to put up more points first and foremost. Stop f*cking around and run more plays for Zu. Norm I don't have a clue. He's not known as a post season guy anyways. Who in the f*ck is going to score on the 2nd unit? That's the question. Bogdan was awful and looked shook out there. DJJ was alright. Dunn was good and bad. These dudes gotta get down and dirty more. Too much nonchalant ho-hum carelessness out there. Coffey or somebody has to get a look if Bogdan or Norm can't hit shots.

Norm's just not a post season guy, but we're in trouble if we don't get anything out of him and/or Bogdan in this series. Kawhi with only 15 shot attempts isn't going to win us any games either. That Golden State game showed that our bench could be lacking and it showed up and proved correct again today. Its just game 1. Cut back on the turnovers and hustle/fight harder and things could go our way on Monday.

Doom & gloom ain’t my shyt but im also big on missed opportunities defining the playoffs. You’re on the road and in control you have to find a way to win no questions asked. History is never kind to teams who throw away winnable games

Today’s obstacle won’t be tomorrow’s. Maybe MPJ & Murray go crazy on Monday. In the end you let one slip away and now you’re concern becomes going down 0-2

The problem was too many turnovers and not getting key rebounds. The bad news is that this was Denver's off game so we really should have taken advantage. They're gonna have good shooting games still and presumably better defensive games as well which will be difficult to overcome.

Yeah I hear you. They might shoot better in game 2.. or they might not. We just got to stop turning the ball over left and right and see if Norm Bogdan can give us something. It took everything for Denver to win tonight. Lets also hope Jokic and Murray get fatigued.
