    Sengun always sets fake screen which reminds me of Christian Wood.

    I need a reminder of the toughness of this team. 2 years ago they weren't afraid to dust up, squab and get dirty. Was it all Dillon Brooks? If so I hereby demand he be returned at any cost.

    denver is a team that I know we can't beat in the playoffs.

    Sengun is neutralized which is usually our biggest advantage in most matchups. No perimeter scoring threats to match Jamal Murray. we don't have enough shooting. it would be like playing the Warriors last year. just a bad matchup.

    We beat Denver the last game. OKC is the far greater opponent. There are very few scenarios we aren’t another first round exit. We will either get beat by the coaching matchup or the refs.

    Nothing worse than seeing our guys' nuts shrivel up during confrontations. I miss chaotic Rockets ball, it was great watching them take out their frustrations on the other team.

    @Jontro is asleep again. We're playing the denvers.

    Don't miss it this time.

    They just got slapped around by some rookies in New Orleans. They need a reminder that this is the highest level of *competitive* basketball. Need some of the snarling, deliberately mean basketball back. Alpe needs to stop being Jokic's lil buddy. Amen needs to send someone on another penguin slide. Bari needs another black eye. This candy ass basketball isn't what made them a team everyone loathed to play.

    Murray destroyed us in the last two matches. I hope Ime finds a way to contain him. This is the key for a W.

    When did we beat them? Refs or not, we lost. They didn’t even have Aaron Gordon. We lost to them at home too. Without AG. I agree that we look like a first round exit team. We need to find a way to get a bench guard like Malik Monk cause our bench has zero scoring creation.
