Actually, probably 5. Doesn't matter. This series is over without Chris Paul.

Well, this 4th quarter was a bummer.

Booker is the only one there that can do any sort of offense. KD, a top 15 player of all time that we went all in, ain’t helping shit so far.
It’s 2 on 5 in the playoffs against the one seed.

Gut punch of a game. We did so much right but just couldn’t hit a damn shot. I was optimistic coming into this season but struggle to see how we progress now (even though they have only held serve, so to speak)

Our collection of 5th guys are 0-10 from 3…just not gonna get it done.
KCP single-handedly beat our bench.
The one role player I didn't bring up, of course. Not to mention Jamal Murray being who I identified as being the Nuggets key to winning the series. He has a stinker and they still win... Rough.

Booker been carrying us all game. I thought when we traded everything for KD, those days were over. Guess not.

10/27 for KD. Disgusting. He fucking sucked tonight.

The bench = 67 minutes, 2 for 15 FG, 4 points.

Hopefully about a strategy to get a high level starting PG in 2 months.

You miss every shot you don't take. He'd do it every time.

Probably, "How the fuck did we shoot only 5 freethrows when our entire offense operates inside the 3 point line?"

Yep, that's no coincidence. Not looking good. I can't imagine he plays game 3 or if he does, it will be in a limited capacity.

And a starter-quality forward.
And a bench.

Would the results be dramatically different with Bridges and Cam Johnson though? The problem is not addressing the decline of CP3 which started the Dallas series last postseason. Monty also seems to have no idea what to do with his bench. TJ Warren can't get a sniff of time on the floor. Rotations are constantly different combinations. I know it's not easy when the entire bench can't hit a thing.
Ayton played well, I thought. He battled against Jokic on many possessions. I'll take effort even if Jokic goes off. Which he had to with Murray being ice cold.
Frustrating game. Cam Payne never should have been PG2. He hasn't been good since Clippers our Finals run. Next year CP3 will be moved for an upgrade at the PG spot.
