Nuggets and Lakers playing a less competitive game today, but still an entertaining one. Denver has a chance to run L.A. out of the high-altitude up 47-36 at the half. Leave your second half comments here.
losing some tough, close games early was going to teach us a few things. Its clear today this group did not come out with their heads down and they have looked a lot more comfortable at the end of the game
and Ty knows when to give Gallo the ball when he’s on a roll. As I keep saying, we don’t need to worry about Gallinari…he does what he does. My main concern right now is Karls refusal to use Koufos. I’m not saying he wouldn’t have been abused by Bynum like Bird and Nene were…but he can take up fouls. It worked tonight…but I hate it when he switches Nene back to center.
Kouf, Brewer and Faried better get some burn tomorrow.
Also Fernandez has got to get his stuff together. I guess AAA is missing 3s too, so I am hoping it is just some rust.
We shouldn't go up on this game like we shouldn't go down on the other game
But we can close out games, just takes experience.
I want to see Moz in the crunch time lineup as he gets better. Those fouls were bs, at least 3 of them were Bynum creating contact. Moz will learn and will get calls. I am ok with Miller and Ty in the crunch time backcourt cuz Miller is much stronger than Felton or Billups on defense.
I wouldn't mind seeing Moz, but you know GK isn't putting him in late
I think the crunch-time lineup should be Ty, Gallo, Nene, Al, and either AAA or Miller depending on how they’re playing. I still hate the 2pg lineup, but admit it is nice having miller out there when it matters. Just no 3-guard lineups please.
As we get more games like this the team will get more experience in execution down the stretch. Every game should be an exercise in playing well together, executing, and letting different players step up.
If you think about it, Carmelo or Chauncey have taken almost every crunchtime shot for the past 4 or 5 years – you don’t learn how to overcome that overnight. Hopefully our half court offense gets better – I think some of that will be feeding Moz in the post, taking some lumps, and teaching him how to execute.
Big Al looking good again
Blingsrt4 - January 1, 2012 via Android app
He's been a huge bright spot for Denver.
Nate Timmons - January 1, 2012
Nice change after last year
Blingsrt4 - January 1, 2012 via Android app
I like that Gallinari does other things...like defend Kobe
I like that Al Harrington has his scoring drive back.
I hate it when Karl does small ball…really…really hate it. Someone is going to have to die, apparently, for Koufos to get in.
Jeffrey Morton - January 1, 2012
OH HAI
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
hay!~
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
so we meet again
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
It's like we never come here
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
Small ball works sometimes.but only as a relief.if we want to win we need bigs on add much as possible
Blingsrt4 - January 1, 2012 via Android app
hey
someone needs to get that Nene painting on the internet.. that looked awesome.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
Nene
That painting would look nice in my house..lol
Blingsrt4 - January 1, 2012 via Android app
I missed it L*
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
Does anyone actually drink Miller Lite?
I see all these irritating commercials for it…but never see people drinking it.
Gr3yStreet - January 1, 2012
i prefer Mexican beer
particularly Bohemia.
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
I'm not picky at the moment
I just want beer.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
I'm enjoying my ShockTop as per the norm
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
It's good to have a staple beer. Makes decisions easy.
Gr3yStreet - January 1, 2012
Well I just really enjoy it too
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
OK guys
Take a drink every time NugNugz awkwardly flirts with the only gal on the board, brags about his sexual prowess or talks about how good looking he is.
This will get us drunk.
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
nugnugz is the local stiffs troll
Gotta love them trolls.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
But he's a fun troll. Doesn't get terribly mean.....usually.
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
And
He does have genuinely insightful things to say about basketball sometimes.
I don’t think he’s all bad. Just giving him a hard time.
I love everybody.
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
I see how you are :)
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
i'll find you...
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
you love everybody
until 10 hours of Nickelback have been played non-stop by your neighbors.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
Hahaha
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
nickelback is lame
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
hey, you got an invite to a league btw
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
ooo how exclusive sounding.
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
jealous yet?
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
the league of extraordinary dbags?
i can see why i didn’t get an invite
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
just kidding...:)
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
I never get invited
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
i won't say anything her
because i’m afraid fly agaric’s head will explode
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
Probably for the best
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
agreed, i think i've exceded my quota for the night
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
awesome
I joined.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
I'll get the rye.
Gr3yStreet - January 1, 2012
Beer
I’ll drink miller if its free, but definitely wouldn’t buy it..
Blingsrt4 - January 1, 2012 via Android app
wow, chicago held memphis to 28 at halftime
The_NGUYENNER - January 1, 2012
how often do you need to take 3's Gallo
before you realize you are no good.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
Didn't he have moderate success last season?
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
life time 37%
sgiustra - January 1, 2012
at this point i think the problem has more to do with his confidence
he looks like he expects to miss it now
The_NGUYENNER - January 1, 2012
Man, I JUST got why Marlowe keeps saying Kobe for 24,000. That was really confusing me.
Gr3yStreet - January 1, 2012
im happy he recd them to “boos”
moonchild808 - January 1, 2012
have we become the worst 3 pt shooting team in the league yet???
moonchild808 - January 1, 2012
more or less
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
at least it seems to be contagious to whoever the nugs are playing
james b - January 1, 2012
haha, thats true.
moonchild808 - January 1, 2012
yeah. that portland thing was a freak occurence.
Japheth:the.other.kind.of.asian. - January 1, 2012
Ugh. That was a rough turnover.
Gr3yStreet - January 1, 2012
wow moz is getting better every game.
Japheth:the.other.kind.of.asian. - January 1, 2012
Barnes has so much ink
He has to become a nugget eventually
james b - January 1, 2012
So there went the nice lead :(
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
we cant hit a shot
it cant be the end of the 4th quarter already can it?
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
ha! nice
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
Getting it out of the way early?
Russscot - January 1, 2012
i got a bad feeling.....
put andre in. he’ll make me feel more comfortable
The_NGUYENNER - January 1, 2012
he does have a calming effect on me.
moonchild808 - January 1, 2012
I vote for this
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
how about some rudy fernandez :)
james b - January 1, 2012
How about
I would drink myself to sleep if he misses another 3
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
Get it together Nuggets...goodness.
Gr3yStreet - January 1, 2012
so… how many games til aaa plays like we paid him to do? hmm
moonchild808 - January 1, 2012
i say 3 more or so
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
hopefully just one quarter
james b - January 1, 2012

moonchild808 - January 1, 2012
There is no try. There is do or not do.
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
LOL Gallo looked more relieved than anyone there!
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
haha
he looked like he was crossing a finishing line of a race
moonchild808 - January 1, 2012
exactly!
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
He was relieved that he finally put it in the hole?
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
GALLO IS ON FIRE! ;)
United Nugget Nations - January 1, 2012
He is!
\o
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
I want to see more Lawson drive and kick out
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
Gallo hit a trey
Moz settling down
Now we need AAA 2 be AAA
sgiustra - January 1, 2012
and 1 fools
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
Look out! Here comes Gallo!
Gr3yStreet - January 1, 2012
i dont think a random 3 in the middle of the 3rd has ever made me so happy
The_NGUYENNER - January 1, 2012
Gallo with a real 3
sgiustra - January 1, 2012
watching Gallo get buckets reminds me of myself
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
haha what?
moonchild808 - January 1, 2012
Take a drink
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
i see you're going to be a nuisance
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
and gallo has his confidence back
Rainbow skyline - January 1, 2012
and there it went...
NugNugz - January 1, 2012

terribad, i like it.
United Nugget Nations - January 1, 2012
What, no layup Gallo?
Gr3yStreet - January 1, 2012
I'm glad he didn't. He would have probably missed
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
ZINGER!
United Nugget Nations - January 1, 2012
Millers up the court pass
is a thing of BEAUTY, that goes for his pass to Gallo last night as well as what we just saw, the way he times it.. its perfect.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
Just wait until they get their timing right.
GallDre Oops galore
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
Moz bother
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
brilliant. I love my fellow stiffs.
United Nugget Nations - January 1, 2012
Moz is stepping up big
Russscot - January 1, 2012
Dre tre!
Gr3yStreet - January 1, 2012
Dre? trey?
Russscot - January 1, 2012
the hivemind at Stiffs brings a tear to my eye
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
DREEEEEE TREY!!!!!!!!!
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
And that's 2 in a row for the team!!! HOLY CRAP
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012

I keep my own scorecard..
keep track of points and fouls, a little silly these days with that newfangled interweb but been doing it since i was a kid (32 yrs old)
but my point is it feels really weird to write World Peace down, had to erase Artest yesterday.
james b - January 1, 2012
Can you just go with Metta?
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
World Peace sucks
Who would want World peace? srsly.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
Especially when one can have whirled peas.
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012

Imagine Whirled Peace!

Ha ha ha. WTG Bird! Heck of a shot.
Gr3yStreet - January 1, 2012
BIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
Bird's best shot ever?
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
I think so
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
Bird with a last minute bucket!!!! YES!!!!!!!!
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
OH DAMN BIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!
United Nugget Nations - January 1, 2012

Oh god this is a terrifying notion
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
haha indeed.
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
just the thought that he'd be in for the last play is scary
NugNugz - January 1, 2012

Is the word…nice shot ##

That was big Bird!!!!
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012

quietly having a great game
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
I thought Karl was supposed to be expanding the rotation?
I guess he’s saving that for tomorrow
The_NGUYENNER - January 1, 2012
come on now
Karl go past a 8 man rotation? Are you crazy?
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
lol, didn't someone say earlier that karl was saving the 10 man rotation for home games?
The_NGUYENNER - January 1, 2012
Karl said that
I read it somewhere.
But I think the score is too tight for Karl to go deep.
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
twhs?
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
Why you go outside :(
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012

NugNugz - January 1, 2012
Why does it have to be Russian.....
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
it doesn't have to be but what is it?
i thought this evolved from somebody doing Mozgov impressions.
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
russian accents are sexy

but at home he is great.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
He wasn't vs. Utah
Looking OK tonight, though.
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
Tbh, when he's healthy,
I’d take Bynum over Dwight. Much more polished
Russscot - January 1, 2012
I wouldn't
Dwight by himself makes the Magic a playoff team. Much better on D too
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
Gonna agree to disagree...
Bynum is taller, longer, better on the post, and this year he looks as strong.
Russscot - January 1, 2012
he's also never healthy
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
Rudy missed a 3!!!!! SUPRISE!!!
james b - January 1, 2012
Stop chucking up 3's GD!
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
Nuggets need to feed bird the ball.
He’s the only scoring threat, it seems.
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012

United Nugget Nations - January 1, 2012

It’s been gawd awful all season.

Bulls vs Grizzlies
86-46 in the 4th
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
I have a feeling
A lot of people were wrong about the Grizzlies this year.
Myself included.
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
you mean zach randolph isn't actually the best player in the league?
playoffs had fluke written all over it
Rainbow skyline - January 1, 2012
i hope this convinces them to trade us Rudy Gay
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
not saying this is an excuse
but their starting PG is out and they are playing an undrafted rookie at poing guard who is currently shooting 2-13 and has a +/- of -32 with 1 assist
El Scorcho! - January 1, 2012
if that was the score in this game
Karl still wouldn’t put Faried in.

When the nuggets release new throwback jerseys
I’m buying a Lawson one.
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
Why do they call them throwbacks instead of retro?
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
Because when you catch one,
you want to throw it back?
Russscot - January 1, 2012
False
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
either works
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
because it's a throwback to another era?
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
so is retro though
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF SYNONYMS!?
GOD
NugNugz - January 1, 2012
But I like retro better.....it's like throwback is just lame man
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
hmm i have no preference
but i say throwback

What's wrong with BumbleBee?
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
I would settle for the can itself at this point
Army of Nugs - January 1, 2012
I dont think someone would part with a can of delicious tuna for that
james b - January 1, 2012
Well that is why you package A.C with it
No way would they do it straight up.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
just a can of tuna would be fine

United Nugget Nations - January 1, 2012
Heh...
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
Kobe used to openly mock Gallo, like last year
but since Gallo looks bigger, stronger, I dont notice any mocking on Ks part mmmmmm
sgiustra - January 1, 2012
really? never noticed...
where did u see/read that?
moonchild808 - January 1, 2012
During a Knick game last year
Kobe laughed when Gallo was put on him. He lit Gallo up. After game Kobe said something like, dont you (D’Antoni) ever do that again" Acted insulted

I move to designate Dre an honorary starter

For all the complaining about his 3pt shooting,
the rest of his game has been very good so far this year.

his shot isn’t what people thought but he is a better overall ballplayer than people thought

losing some tough, close games early was going to teach us a few things. Its clear today this group did not come out with their heads down and they have looked a lot more comfortable at the end of the game

They should be a better team.
SD_Nugget_Fan - January 1, 2012

5 of our games have been against playoff teams

sgiustra - January 1, 2012
reason we won?
Kobe= 4-22 from the field.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
so denver defended him well? or he just sucked tonight.
Japheth:the.other.kind.of.asian. - January 1, 2012
I thought the D
Was pretty good.
But: I don’t have a keen eye for that.
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
I was mocked when I posted that Kobe is intimidated by us
Not saying he wont have his days, but we play some mean defense
sgiustra - January 1, 2012
I thought it was 6-26?
Same difference, really.
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
no, its 4-22
AAA played him well.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
My bad
Repeating someone else who was ill-informed.
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
no
it was 6-28
swmrkev - January 1, 2012
YAY
El Scorcho! - January 1, 2012
I'll actually give GK some credit for putting Al in late
he should be in the crunch time lineup. gives us more size and he has all the veteran confidence in the world right now.

SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
Harrington did something well when his offense wasn't clicking
had 9 rebounds. He and Bird really stepped up in this game.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
I think the Gallo haterz have to be quiet for a night
He actually played good D on Kobe…I think Gallo’s length bothered Kobe alot.
Also….Karl better expand the bench tomorrow. After two back to back games with the Lakers the Nuggets are going to be VERY tired tomorrow.
Jeffrey Morton - January 1, 2012
Does anyone really hate Gallo?
I mean a cold slightly off target Gallo is better than no Gallo at all.
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
I'm using hyperbole to illustrate a talking point based on
as series or retorts and or invectives that were uttered during yesterday’s match. They were both highly truculent and if not a bit inaccurate.
Jeffrey Morton - January 1, 2012
icwydt
SDcat09 - January 1, 2012
I was just mad he missed a free throw
he deserved the heat for that. He played nicely tonight but I want to see how he acts when he is on the road.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
and a layup.
NC Gold - January 1, 2012
I meant layup
but yea, his free throw percentage and three point percentage is disappointing this year.
Still I’m not like the guy who advocated to trade Gallo, I’m not nearly on that boat yet.
CloudBurst - January 1, 2012
Morton
is my kind of writer.
“truculent”, “invectives”.
Nice dude. Nice.
Fly Agaric - January 1, 2012
yeah I think Karl plans to against the Bucks
The_NGUYENNER - January 1, 2012
I don't think anyone hates Gallo
We just expect (or hope) for more from 3. He has a ton of talent and we want to see him killing other teams.
NC Gold - January 1, 2012
Patience young skywalker
It is there I can see it, and when it happens both him and Ty will be a scary good duo.
JR15 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Gallo and Ty have good chemistry
and Ty knows when to give Gallo the ball when he’s on a roll. As I keep saying, we don’t need to worry about Gallinari…he does what he does. My main concern right now is Karls refusal to use Koufos. I’m not saying he wouldn’t have been abused by Bynum like Bird and Nene were…but he can take up fouls. It worked tonight…but I hate it when he switches Nene back to center.
Jeffrey Morton - January 1, 2012
+1
Kouf, Brewer and Faried better get some burn tomorrow.
Also Fernandez has got to get his stuff together. I guess AAA is missing 3s too, so I am hoping it is just some rust.
JR15 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
44-44 rebounds
think this is why we won tonight
swmrkev - January 1, 2012
We shouldn't go up on this game like we shouldn't go down on the other game
But we can close out games, just takes experience.
I want to see Moz in the crunch time lineup as he gets better. Those fouls were bs, at least 3 of them were Bynum creating contact. Moz will learn and will get calls. I am ok with Miller and Ty in the crunch time backcourt cuz Miller is much stronger than Felton or Billups on defense.
JR15 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
I wouldn't mind seeing Moz, but you know GK isn't putting him in late
I think the crunch-time lineup should be Ty, Gallo, Nene, Al, and either AAA or Miller depending on how they’re playing. I still hate the 2pg lineup, but admit it is nice having miller out there when it matters. Just no 3-guard lineups please.
Rainbow skyline - January 1, 2012
also
I don’t mind the 2pg lineup as much as long as Miller is deferring to Ty, which he mostly did tonight.
Rainbow skyline - January 1, 2012
Just you wait.
We may get Boykins back. We will be doing 3G like Verizon.
georgekarl - January 1, 2012
Agreed...
As we get more games like this the team will get more experience in execution down the stretch. Every game should be an exercise in playing well together, executing, and letting different players step up.
If you think about it, Carmelo or Chauncey have taken almost every crunchtime shot for the past 4 or 5 years – you don’t learn how to overcome that overnight. Hopefully our half court offense gets better – I think some of that will be feeding Moz in the post, taking some lumps, and teaching him how to execute.
chantech - January 1, 2012
Nice to see this team close out somebody

They are the GSW of 08-09 season.

Plus Rudy Gay
Has an Ewing theory effect on that team and the loss of Battier was bigger than people thought.
JR15 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Yeah, Randolph having a historically good season
The emergence of Tony Allen, and Rudy Gay being seriously overrated.
