Just collapsing at the worst possible time, 4 consecutive losses and only won 4 of our last 11. Can't remember the last time we shot above 30% from 3 and CJ seems determined to keep up his streak of more shots taken than points scored.

Brick central today.

Aminu Turner Dame Bazz really need to start shooting a hell of a lot better from deep.

Missing Moe. Not sure why Stotts didnt give Baldwin some burn today. Can't have been any worse than Napier and Pat.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I think the scenario for us is win and we are confirmed 3rd, lose and we will still hold onto 4th on tiebreakers as long as OKC beat the Grizz and end on 48 wins also.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Nice finish to the regular season, getting 3rd seed and the NW division title. Lillard was huge today against the Jazz.

 

[Deemanding]

Gotta feel for the Nuggets. Come last in the division with 46 wins. Miami won the south east with 44 wins.

Managed to catch some of the last quarter during my lunch break today. Would have been nice if we'd kept the lead well into double figures, but nonetheless given the form it was a solid W. On to OKC.

We have the Pels in the first round

Ah - so we do. I looked at the table before the Utah result was finalised, but forgot the order would change due to tiebreakers etc...

 

[Deemanding]

At risk of blowing out at home in game 1. Crap start, shooting is awful and just can't get past Holiday outside and Davis in the paint...

 

[Deemanding]

Left it all too late...

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Left it all too late...

Yep, had our chances at the end but the better side won.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Completely found out in the playoffs and dropping consecutive games at home is nothing short of disastrous, Rondo & Holiday have outplayed Dame & CJ which is pretty disappointing.

 

[mickelboy182]

You guys really live and die by Dame. Still a couple of pieces away.

 

[Deemanding]

Put a fork in us. Such a shame. Won what, 5 of the last 14 or so?

Yeah 5 of 14 since that 13 game winning streak.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Destroyed in New Orleans today, this series is pretty embarrassing.

 

[mickelboy182]

Seeing the Spurs and Blazers get handled upsets me as a Nuggs fan... Form wise we would have arguably gone a little better.

Still, gotta earn it across 82 games and we didn't.

 

[Deemanding]

Well that's the end of that. Only saw the last 9 minutes but we were crucified by the officials and were without luck...never stood a chance.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

What an embarrassing series

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Yeah good regular season but systematically destroyed and found out in a very short post season.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

So we don't even keep Davis on 4.4 million, absolute incompetence from our GM.

Seems like it. Potentially disastrous for team chemistry. He might have something up his sleeve for the off-season, but it's not looking good.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Nurk stays on a 48/4 deal which to be honest I think is pretty good for both parties.

Really good deal. I was expecting 4/80 or something along those lines.

Shame our big man depth for next season looks thin as I would like to see baldwin signed to make the roster. Why do we still have Layman?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

It's all about the summer league, forget the real thing.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Jimmy Butler requests a trade, shame we aren't a possible destination as he'd be such a great fit next to Dame.
