    Great win on a b2b! Back to the 3rd seed with Blazers losing and Memphis getting Karma on their lost.

    If we can win two of these next three tough road games we are set up to make a run at the 2 seed. Schedule is pretty cake going forward besides one more tough stretch.

    They got back in the game? I don't remember that happening.

    OH, you mean when they were down 13 as opposed to 20?
    Yeah, good point. /sarcasm

    Next game is against Portland right? Number three seed is on the line!

    This team has a staggering inability to blow teams out.

    We will have a 10-20 point lead at some point in the 4th, and we always let it get closer instead of expanding. We almost always hold on to win the games, but it is still very frustrating.

    Good win though.

    Yup, tough to win in Portland but we got 3 days to rest up for it which is huge

    Don't get me started. I'm still salty about it.

    Nice to see D-Mo gaining some confidence back. I would like to see Prigioni get some of Bev's minutes. I am very glad we won. I felt this was going to be a very tough game, that could go either way.

    & those 2 games are a non-call! :mad:

    Anyway, great win tonight. Brew was brewing & Harden was cooking! :grin: Let's go undefeated on this road trip.

    I don't know why McHale is playing Beverly that many minutes. His defense is not that good anymore and very much he is effective only if he is hitting 3s.
    I noticed we are losing the leads or fall behind when he is in.

    I wish McHale will try something else. I don't know what it is but he has a very long leach on Bev.

    Next game against Portland is probably our biggest game of the season.

    This will be a good test, since Portland has the inside presence that Denver doesn't. We need this game for the tie breaker with the Blazers.

    For sure. We need big contributions from Jones, Smith, D-Mo and Beverely in order to win IMO.

    We aren't the Spurs. We can't afford it.

    Easy game, needed victory. Now couple days rest till Wednesday.

    If not infamous game against Grizzles, Rockets now would be #2 in the West.
