| If we lose I want to lose in 3rd OT of game 7 with Jokic hitting a miracle shot. No other way! |

We could very well have been the team up 3-0 this series.
They executed, played smart, hit key buckets and took care of the basketball.
We didn't. End of story.
The fact that we have 2 HOFers who have been there before, I thought we would be the ones executing and valuing each possession.
Sadly, we played like a team that had no direction and no fire.
AR and Rui are the team MVPs so far this series.
That being said. I'm gonna be watching to see who comes out fighting and playing with pride. Tonight we will get to see who is what. I know Rui and AR are gonna bring it. I hope to see at least a few others join. Let's fckn go!

| I’m not even going to be able to watch this game in real time. I’ll let the DVR get ahead an hour or two, then watch it with my finger on the FF button in case things start getting ugly. |

| I'm excited for tonight's game. A last stand feels much different with all of the progress we made this season, and how much brighter the future looks than just 3 and a half months ago. |

Mentally gotta think of it as needing to win 2 games in a row. That's easily doable, but getting that first win is the hard part
If we get to game 6 we should have momentum, and game 7 all the pressure is suddenly on the Nuggets.
Historically speaking we likely are getting gentlemen swept, but this team has surprised all year... |

Accomplishments this season:
1. Avoided the lottery.
2. Nullified the pick swap (NOP had no shot to get Wemby).
3. Went from the 13th team in the West to #2.
4. Beat the #2 seed and the defending champs.
5. AD is a beast. MVP and DPOY candidate when healthy. People need to stop questioning his dedication.
6. LBJ is also a beast. Let's face it, dude was most likely out for the season but decided to give it a go. He's clearly very hobbled.
7. AR and RUI are legit and we basically got both "for nothing".
8. Tradeable assets in Beasley, D'Lo and Bamba (we didn't have tradeable assets before).
9. We have a pretty decent draft pick to work with or trade.
10. Max Christie is 3/3 in terms of picking up random players (undrafted) or 2nd rounders have panned out.
11. Phil Handy is god.
12. Pelinka is also god.
13. Russ has been gone for months.
14. Celtics imploding and Dallas imploding are the best stories of the offseason.
15. Clippers being the clippers is also satisfying.
16. Durant's gambit failed. Again.
17. Dillion Brooks got smoked and humiliated.
18. AD>>>JJJ
19. Ham will improve.
20. This team never quit. |

Darvin Ham said he will look to maximize L.A.’s most successful lineups tonight, in what is the first time they’ve faced elimination this postseason.
5:53 PM · May 22, 2023 |
Looks like Shro, Reaves,James, Rui and AD are starting
Ya just Ham to do it.

Most of us asked for this in Game 2 or AT LEAST Game 3 
I guess better late than never.

For sure, and even worse, Ham came back with DLO in the 2nd half starting lineup in game 3 when he was bad the 1st half.

Should have been last game. Reaves is getting KCP on defense then. One of him or Dennis has to play really well for a fighting chance every night

Yea probably a game or game and a half too late, just like Ham's time outs.. |
