Gotta be careful not to conflate hope with expectation. I'm not surprised Denver, and especially Murray, came out strong after all that criticism this week. And the hype for our defense was a bit overblown.

Still, we can still take this game. We're still up against the champs in the second round. We should feel good about the situation overall, but not let up.

I actually saw some defensive intensity from several of our guys. Rudy is still on paternity leave though...2 rebounds and no blocks

We need something out of Kyle tonight

Yeah, I felt the same. He wasn't going to keep shooting 85% from the line.

Yeah, his 7 minutes in the first half were almost invisible. his box score is all zeros except for him missing a 5 footer. I never noticed him on defense either.

KAT, WTF.

Kyle struggles when at SF. What he is when our bigs are here

Murray lights out tonight

Unlucky Jaden.

Literally murray baiting for a foul the whole time there. Nothing like turning basketball into soccer where everyone is trying to sell bullshit foul calls
