    So Portland was missing lots of 3s so they decided to shoot mid range jumpers at the end of the game

    what incredible strategy

    Awful ending though, Jokic with a terrible shot, missed FT and some silly fouls late.

    Yeah, this is going to be a real easy series for them, even without KD.

    I know we all sound like complaining bitter old men, but there is room for a higher percentage shot when the 3s are not falling or in the pivotal 4th quarter.

    Morey is wrong if he doesn't believe in the above.

    Denver didn't deserve it after tanking. Good for Portland ensuring they didn't make it through.

    Great series. Denver a young team needs to pay their dues. Portland is surprisingly resilient.

    Ironic to tank to get the team you want only to lose to them in 7

    This is 100% on Harden too, Morey doesn't go into the huddle and tell him to keep chucking 3's.

    Harden has no leash from anyone, he makes his own decision on the court

    come take this seat next to us Denver. Watch Denver run it back alas Jazz last year and end up not achieving the same results.
