Ah…….is that what “5 against 8” means, your five players against the other teams’ five players plus three refs? It’s an interesting, somewhat clever turn of phrase, even though I’ve never heard it before (and didn’t see anything about it when I looked it up).

I don’t like blaming the refs, especially when we can just be happy with how hard they played. They hung with them the whole game. It was as “good” of a loss as you’ll ever see.

“5 against 8”

There is absolutely nothing to hang our heads about. We played really freaking hard 5 against 8 and it came down to a last shot.

I was at the game and the fans were totally into the effort tonight. No one was pissed after the game.

It’s hard to say for sure they would have won tonight if they had Mitch because they won Huk’s minutes (+7), but I think they might have won yesterday and today if they went for it. Huk didn’t score and had 3 TO’s in 9 minutes. Mitch would have given us more minutes, fewer TOs, better defense and at least a lob threat on offense. At least we hung with this version of OKC.

It’s not about them. It’s about us. It’s a west coast trip, it is always difficult. We need to keep playing hard if we want to win. We can beat all three of them. And if we lose any game, we must go down fighting, not with our hands down.

Didn’t someone say on here earlier today that Gordon is due to come back against us on Friday night?

Ugh. Teams seem to target us. If he does come back I doubt he’ll be 100%. He’ll probably also be on a minutes restriction.

“The Nuggets haven’t been playing well recently and aren’t the same without Gordon.”

Found it:

Amick:

Source: The Nuggets’ Aaron Gordon is targeting a Friday return (against NY) from the hamstring injury that sidelined him Jan. 23.

It remains to be seen if he gets cleared by then, but Denver desperately needs him – again.

The Nuggets haven’t been playing well recently and aren’t the same without Gordon.

The Lakers don’t play defense.

The Clippers are not that good.

They played hard but not well. You can argue OKC’s defense gave them more opportunities to do dumb things, but they should have won this game.
