They trying to make sure BI does not beat them and JV was feasting and Willie went away from him. WHY?????

Trey has not taken a shot in his last 6.5 minutes of game time, I think

Got the lead back after down 10. Now hold on to it.

Rested up Jonas for the 4th. But CJ should have stepped up in the 3rd. His shooting and passing is horrible tonight

I must be biased because none of these calls are making sense to me

You're giving Willie - a guy who has habitually refused to play JV in clutch time moments, even when the Pels lost multiple games on clutch rebounding and rank 27th in that stat and JV is a rebounding monster - far too much credit. He just doesn't like playing through JV.

Giddey is literally doing a moving screen. You can't run over to, and run into a player defending another player. That was not incidental. BS call.

Just stupid!!!

Terrible turnover by ingram

Ingram time to close it out. D up and no fouls/no OT

BI stepping up late

CJ you gotta be kidding me with these missed layups

CJ :hihi:

CJ McCome On dude

Onsided much refs????? SMH

That’s probably game. CJ squandered the game/playoffs away in the final minute

Incoming CJ 3

GGs on this season.

Willie, “I got no clue, uh let Ingram take every shot.”

CJ "CHOKE" McCollum

this team just play us tough..

If Trey doesn’t take this 3…

Turns out that if you want to win a game, it's a good idea not to give away a quarter by 15 points by deciding not to run any of your working plays

Fouled BI and missed the first FT. Yeah it’s over

WHY did we wait till 28 damn seconds to put JV back in???????

Willie Green does not like JV.

he was hurt. he turned his ankle.

One team moves the ball when their best player is doubled, the other team has no plan for that.

Too little too late

We have won two lotteries; I'd love to win a third.

���������� wtf herb

Ha, Willie had no plan.

Trey Murphy has taken one true shot attempt in the entire 4th quarter.

I want a new GM and coach.

This is way more disappointing that the Saints season. We were GOOD when healthy, Good enough to overcome WG's mistakes and we can't stay healthy . The Saints just sucked from the start and stayed that way

Tell me fella's, who won the Giddey/CJ Matchup?

Can I cancel my season tickets for next year? Can’t support such a soft organization.

And a team without CJ McCollum

Trey Murphy: 1 true shot attempt in the 4th quarter
JV: 2 FGAs the entire second half

Unjustifiable. CJ got to go 1/5 from 3 though so that's cool

The zion era is going well

The players are laughing at Willie.

One team wanted to win.....I honestly don't know what the Pels want. Maybe the players will feel like themselves enough to try next season.

See you guys around draft time.

Good. Best outcome. Get this disappointment of a disaster season over with. Back in the lottery.

Need to find a 3rd wheel that can steady the ship while BI and Zion are in street clothes for 40 games each.

lol we showed who we are. Maybe beating those G-league teams at the end of the season meant absolutely nothing, after all

We desperately need a smart point guard, an athletic big that can change shots, and someone to come off the bench who can shoot .400 from 3.

So do 27 teams in the league.

What we really need is a coaching staff that can actually identify advantages and use them instead of just letting players default to improv at all times.

And, yes, CJ has got to be the one that goes to the bench (if not out the building).

From #1 seed in December to losing the 9th vs. 10th play-in game. Season went down with Zion. Everybody overachieved to overcome his absence and never settled into a polished form to close out games. Denver will have an easy 1st round advance.
