    Canā€™t even be mad, but boy this team needs it stars.

  2. DaggersKnuckles

    Idk why Willie didnā€™t draw something up for Jose or like literally anybody else. Why is it always CJ man

  3. FlyingSMonster

    CJ is not the guy I want to see with multiple final shots in a game

  4. Ciccone7

    Damn could have had that one. Jose was great down the stretch. Hopefully Dyson is okay. Back at it tomorrow vs Minny.

  5. Opening-Register-954

    How many games have they lost with CJ playing hero ball? He took some of the worst shots I’ve seen in the clutch. Do they not have 8 years of data of him in Portland? Willie needs to reel him in or we’re going down quickly.

  6. Weā€™re playing good teams really hard right now. Hard to see who beats us when weā€™re fully healthy and vibing.

  7. Aromatic-Macaron3783

    If CJ played an average game we win

  8. legend023

    What a shame

    Nearly beat the top seed in the west and we just blow it at the end, brutal

    We need to get some wins ASAP because we are falling apart in the standings

  9. UnimpressedAsshole

    Clutch CJ is so so so mf painful

    And thatā€™s on top of Billy being wide open underneath the hoop or Herb stepping back in for a give-and-go

    Jose is a šŸ

  10. poorwhitecash

    Would have love to see Jose get the look there

  11. Razor-Ramon-Sessions

    Well at least we played well.

    Good fight. Tough loss.

    Need our top 2 guys back. CJ can’t carry a team anymore even for short stretches.

  12. twojace21

    CJ has been playing great for us since BI and Zion went down but tonight was NOT his night and should not have forced up those last two shots

  13. SpaceAfricanJesus

    Worst way from an emotional standpoint as a fan to lose games imo. Iā€™d rather get blown out than have false hope of a comeback.

    Iā€™m done with moral victories this late in the season. I can credit them for coming back but it doesnā€™t matter if you donā€™t seal the deal. Only 4 games above .500 and blew a chance to tie Denver in the season series.

    CJ better put his big boy pants on for tomorrow

  14. Dixxxine

    I ain’t too mad because I Thought we where doom when we where down by like 20. I’m surprised we came back & only lost by 1. Maybe, tomorrow, we will actually play a full game!

  15. Jokic has no chance at guarding Jose coming at him but he decide to give it to CJ who’s shot was off all night. And not swarming jokic on the last defensive possession is inexcusable

  16. Leadingusalong

    Shouldā€™ve let Jose close but someone had other ideas

  17. mixed_matches

    Lost 11 of our last 13

    Getting in dangerous waters

  18. SevenHunnet3Hi5s

    i canā€™t be mad but at the same time i am kinda mad

  19. definitelydidntcheat

    Had an easy passing lane to Herb in the dunker spot with time. What a horrible shot

  20. GentlestCrib15

    Why does CJ ALWAYS just hunt for his own shot when we have the last possession?

    When BI and Zion come back I never want to see that shit again

  21. Funkywormm

    Please come back tomorrow BI I canā€™t watch this shit anymore

  22. Tyschurr

    42 minutes played from Devonte Graham and Jaxson Hayes. Five points combined. Fuck off.

  23. AnotherStatsGuy

    We need just a little more offense. Or 1 or 2 fewer turnovers. Or another couple of 3PM. Itā€™s like the start of last season all over again.

    Fuck it, weā€™ll win another couple of play-in games if we have to.

    More minutes for Willie, please.

  24. I assumed this was gonna be a blowout when it was announced Jokic would play, but losing this way hurts more. I hope JV is well rested for tomorrow, and BI plays.

  25. Not a Pelicans fan so I didn’t watch the game. I needed Valanciunas to get 15 points. Looked at the point-by-point section now, so can someone clue me in as to why he was APPARENTLY ABDUCTED BY ALIENS IN THE LAST QUARTER AND A HALF? Respectfully.

  26. Mesame121489

    Ughhhhhh the guys played hard but fuck this loss hurts

  27. Senor_Pug

    All I know is if we have to trade Willy we better have a backup plan cause he has been so crucial the two home games against the nuggets.

  28. mixed_matches

    At least Zion will be re evaluated in a few weeksā€¦

  29. SevenHunnet3Hi5s

    i always have the same takeaways every time we play against the nuggets specifically:

    -itā€™s that i swear every game we have against them is always ridiculously intense even when half the teamā€™s not even playing

    -and that we could REALLY use some older role players (who can immediately contribute.) i swear for the past few years the nuggets have been stacked with these older guys who always go in and rain threes on us. i like our youth but at the same time we gotta mix in some more veteran guys who could take minutes, actually do something, and be consistent. thatā€™s what graham was suppose to be

  30. Itā€™s amazing how Willie Green has this team playing so hard but at the same time how many stupid decisions heā€™s making (DG playing time, Hayes over Willy, allowing CJ hero ball)

  31. LuthorNZ

    Moral victories don’t mean shit, whether it’s a 1 point loss or a blowout. You have to make those clutch shots to be great. 2-11 in the last 13 games, looking real familiar.
