    Den shoots the lights out, loses by double digits
    They are finished. 52% from field, 50% from 3s... still get blown out.

    If not for Murrays 3rd Qtr Tuesday night they are 0-3

    It's not Pops, its Den....they are just shooters w no inside game and no rebounding. Not a very balanced team.

    Pretty sure Spurs shot it really well too. Looks like they have their new Tony Parker with Derrick White

    Denver also missed a lot of free throws.

      Although it's wrong to say they have no rebounding. Pretty sure they were #1 or #2 rebounding, both offensive and total.

        Did anyone really think they were any good? This day and age where most teams/players can barely be bothered to care and give effort half the time teams like this can put up a nice regular season simply by trying every night, throw in their unique home court edge and presto. When playoff come and most of them start caring the truth comes out.

          Fawk, I had the UNDER in this one.

          Bought it early too, thought we had a good one.

            Have you seen any inside presence in this series? There is no 2nd chance hoops, and when they get to the line they can't shoot.

            This team out shot SA from the field and 3s and lost by 10 because they can't rebound or get a bucket down low.

            If Jamal doesn't sink 20 points in the 3rd earlier this week this team would be swept.

              Coach Malone says no doubt White had Murray’s 4th Q on his mind.

              “Derrick White came out like he hadn’t eaten in two days.”

              “How do you respond to that? Where’s your pride? Where’s your grit?”

              Coach Malone is looking to see how this team responds in game 4 - especially Murray.

                I would say free throws were the reason they lost. Just 9/17 vs. 23/32

                To the Spurs credit, they had a gameplan and executed it well

                Rebounding differential was 45-37 and it probably was part of reason they lost but just pointing out they were the best or 2nd best rebounding team during the regular season.
