You win the prize!

A packet of sweet and low and some pocket lint!

Enjoy!

Let me be the first to say

Corey Brewer!

give gallo the ball

and let him get 40-50 hes on fire

Would love to see him score 40.
68?

That’s the norm when its the Nuggets to me.

Faried for Tacos
You think he will play in the 3rd quarter? :p
I might be a touch optimistic
There are less people here at the can tonight then Monday

But the crowd is more lively.

probably happens

when they are actually playing well

yeah

it’s easier to whine =)

its early but

orlando is beating portland 13-2

was just about to post this! :)
Houston is up 3 on SA in the 4th

and Utah is up on LAL in the 3rd

nene

shoulda passed the ball to gallo

How tall is humphries?
6'9" according to Nets homepage
something strange happened.

announcer said nene hit 3?

gallo with the quick hands

moz with the pass

tall enough

we shoulda tried to trade/pay for him

uh oh

hitmans lookin like he’s got his stroke back

i'm sure nj's coach is saying

that is the exact opposite of what i wanted you guys to do

6 of 10

and a partridge in a pear treeeee

3 to's to start the half :p
Just need to settle down a bit
gooood move

nene

how is that not goaltending?

that’s what I was thinking!

agreed

then nene nene’s it

thats what i thought
OT: mmmm Reese's
Peanut butter snickers squares
I don't like candy

aside from dark chocolate, but man I love me some Reese’s

what the hell is AAA doin?
i thought it was melo...
that play was going nowhere fast.
Way to stick with it, AAA
but make your f*^^*in ft's!
nuggs need more gallo

much more

without lawson pushing

this doesnt look like our offense

so let gallo push

make him a point forward

rudy-- feels right

he’ll make somethin happen

hey! the bird flew

!

Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!!!!
LOL.

that was some shooters bounce

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

What is that song playin in the Taco Bell ad? It's drving me crazy
Dunno...

but it was on NCIS a few years ago

I know it's from something else. I hate that!
can you guys hear that screaming

we want faried!

bird would dunked through the contact

just 2 years ago

look at that

shortest guy on the court is rudy he’s like 6’5?

rudy's best game as a nug
I must give Rudy credit for being a good passer
for a 2nd round pick

:D

OH DAYUM!!!! NOICEE!!!!
Is that like nice+noise?
Nah....just a goofy way of saying NICE

Hope JR likes Schezuan Food.

Pretty awesome play by the bench

Almost 4 players in double figures

we want the Manimal!
How on earth did Rudy make that pass???
NJ announcer:

“the snow has turned to rain in colorado, cause it is pouring”.

this guy is great. he does nfl games too.

I was going to comment on this guy

Cos he’s been fantastic all night.

He knows basketball and calls it how it is. Big fan.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!
If NJ were shooting their regular 3pt %

we’d be up by 40, imo

holy blake griffin!!!

What he do now?

Jumped over Chalmers

Mother of Tebow….

Pfft Chalmers ain't no Kia
I think Rudy is figuring out how to work in our offense

He’s getting alot better. Not just shooting 3’s.

Yes

While I’ve been sore about his shooting, his passing has been pretty solid.

is this the start of the new and improved roooodi??
hope for more of this!
Again.

THANK GOD FOR THE NETS!!!

thats nyets to you

comrade

Totally

Just what the doctor ordered.

Rudy is just winning.

then he goes home to his hot girl.

yeah rudy/brewer

so amazing for a 2nd round pick… plus rudy’s girlfriend likes denver- real big boost f or us

i guess we do need to keep this in perspective
they suck

but i was worried we had lost somethin important when we blew it with new orleans

Isn't this how the third started?
32 assists already
How is that not a foul on Gallo's drive?
NO GALLO DOWN!!! GALLO DOWN!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
and hes up
But he's gimpy :(

I’m sure he wore protection.

remember last year

when he fucked up cousins?

Take one for the team, take care of him.

Settle down you're getting silly now.
seriously, they cut 1/2 our lead

in 2 minutes

pass that xanax around

this season is gonna make me a middle aged hosewife

Karl did this on purpose

It’s all part of his secret plan to keep Faried chained to the bench.

wow, what a dropoff.
and the refs have swallowed their whistles
rebound the fucking ball
16 3's made???
The Nuggets are somehow incapable of guarding Farmar

Huh?

Even when he was Laker....hate that guy
He's really not good

This is completely inexplicable

thank you

dre

yup get it back into neutral

that be his job

stamp this thing down. seriously?!
One thing you can say about Melo,

he knew how to get to the line during times like this.

This is why

Faried didn’t come in yet. Still a lot of time left

gallo better come back

and put the nail in the coffin

Oh I love Nets Daily.

they are reallllly entertaining
can't believe that wasn't a foul
Dre can sense they need to go to the hole
another fun fact:

jordan farmar is blewish

I am convinced the refs are idiots
they really like the nets, suddenly
What. the. F.F. just happened??
What just happened, exactly?
This is what I want to know
Clearly this is a ref conspiracy to keep Faried out of the game
Now that's more like it! AAA!!!!
i miss lawson's speed down court
Wow Denver hates Humphries...

I commend him

AAA! AAA! AAA!
Uh oh

We’re reaching Manimal territory here.

His first good game!!

Man I just read that Dre doesn't like being a backup here

what a way to piss in my Cheerios

fine, he could be a backup somewhere else
I like but am a little peed off
didnt he pull this in portland?
Still probably carries decent value.

Maybe we can send him to LA for Chauncey.

he will be a professional about it

and he’s gone after this year. that’s fine.

TACOS!!

That's spelled TAAACOS!
it really is a good thing the nets are bad, or we could have had our hands full
all they can do is shoot treys
OT: Pilot light went out. Furnace blowing cold air :-/
Okay that DOES suck...:(
agreed...not lighting it 'til after the game
hmmm, portland down by 12 at half
why can't manimal play

if the game is fairly close? I mean I know its GK but damn hes good

Someone D up Farmar, for fuck's sake!
Unpossible. He has a cloak of invisibility dating back to the Laker days
Another eff'in 3
nets just set a team record for 3s in a game
and the refs refuse to call a foul on the Nets
Buckets Block!!!
Good fucking God! Guard the three point line!
They will not and you can't make them
nets nuggs

playing like theyre back in the ABA

I don't think Deron is a superstar

The Nets still suck, at least we won games when Melo was with the Nuggets (In the early years)

Deron is better than Melo

That Nets team is just atrociously built.

They're giving significant minutes to Sundiate Gaines

And Sheldon Williams. What is he supposed to do with that?

I knew it.

We got our 3 pt prowess back when Rudy finally hit that slump breaking Trey.

36 assist for our Nugs
Miller starting?
yeah, but it's the entire team

Say hi to Kmart for me D-Will!!

Why? Why you gotta hurt me that way?

You know it has no bounds.

is he at this game?
I'd like to see AAA be more pass oriented than 3 point oriented
well he was wide open there.
not so much that one, but he doesn't seem to drive or look for pass first
I really don't mean to complain about the refs,

but for once I would like it to be called the same on both ends.

This is what I expect

Who were those imposters playing the bugs?

AAA

finally looked “right”

how did gallo have 17 in the 1st

and only finish with 22? Even with a hot hand he only gets 11 FG attempts?

he twisted his ankle and is resting

also, he is supremely unselfish. Think he has like 5 assists

Its called

Team play.

not saying he should get 20+ shot attempts a game

but he is the nuggs best offensive player (yes better than nene) and can do everything on the offensive end. Personally I want to see him start getting 15-16 shots a game as opposed to 10-12

Seen Gallo for 3 yrs

He has no drive to accumulate stats. After great 1st quarter, you’d figure he’d get big scoring numbers but he stopped shooting.

He really is in line to make all star team if you look at his competition but may miss out because he doesnt propel self aftre that extra rebound or take a couple of extra shots per game

nene definitely needs to look for the pass more
up double digits

and im still verrrrry frustrated. we should be up like 30

can't be impressed

with the defense tonight unfortunately

guess its better than being

the nets

a poke in the eye with a sharp stick?

Wow, they got it back to 10.

Well theyre hitting everything
Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!!!!

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Thank you, Rudy

Playing great lately.

think he'll stay on?

If they offer him an extension?

why is it our team is the the only one that can't hold onto a rebound

Hope JR’s learning Caligraphy.

spokesperson for ramen!
NJ will never shoot like that from three again
I know

who’s going to leave them that open all game

part of it was that, definitely.

But they were just insanely hot tonight from deep

They mad even the contested shots
seriously

Nets went crazy from beyond the arc. But this is how bad they are, despite hitting all the threes they still lost.

Some bad defense right there

Good thing the Nuggets aren’t taking on any offensive powerhouses any time soon.

What?

Shit.

Ain't no thing
I'm calling it now

Miami with the blow out win in Denver.

:(

The three point shooting was an abberation
Farmer

wasn’t just hitting 3’s in that fourth quarter to make it a game.

without the threes the Nuggets win by alot more

4th was garbage time

No doubt

Still not happy, Jan.

YAY NUGGETS!!!
great game

shitty opposition but still encouraging

someone measure the rims, i don't think they're regulation
they're a foot wider!
Without those threes

the Nuggets win by 70 tonight…good win…a little worried about Gallo

yeah hope the roosters okay
I'm a lot worried about Gallo :(
uh yeah assuming they missed literally every one..

not a very good statistic to measure by

Even if they miss five more threes

Nuggets win by alot. Outside shooting like that is a total abberation

I have a feeling...

and that’s all it is, that he coulda played if necessary. I think he’ll be fine.

agreed, definitely didnt look as bad as lawe

Get him a Nuggets Dancer.

dont suppose Rudy is european enough

to lend his girl?

Would only work if he was French.

Was that Tony Parker's excuse?

Hey now!

Explain to me why on 80's night we don't wear throwback jerseys?
i think brewer again made tons of difference in this game
hope he gets more playing time
Okay...time to light the pilot light
Good luck!!!
aaaaaaannnnnd Back!

all better

OT at Utah.

What's off topic at Utah?
fuckin NO lost to OKC
Of course

The Thunder are good.

The Hornets… not so much.

we lost to them though.
We lose to the Hornets often. They just have our number.

But only during the regular season

Hmm

And: since Denver lost to the Hornets at home, I guess that makes Denver Not as Good as OKC.

But they have Bellineli!!

Bring on Wade and co.

No

Wade needs to sit this one out. He has a bum foot, right?

Scared?

Yes.

Well, not really. A lose to the Heat isn’t the end of the world or anything.

Rather be playing someone else, though. Denver needs the wins.

Gotta see how we stack up with the big boys though. BRING IT ON.

And I say

Denver loses by 15.

Just my feeling. Hope I’m wrong.

But I seldom am: See San Antonio.

stop being

a negative nancy

I prefer to be called

A “Realistic Ron”.

Or something.

You spelled Debbie Downer wrong
I think they prolly lose,

but I think that they’ll be way hyped for the game and keep it close

hoping for a surprise.

Maybe the gods will smile on denver for that game.

If they got some left using it on Timmeh.

If there is any divine bargaining

The Broncos get any heavenly favors.

Sorry.

Nah

Tebow wont mind sharing the jesus love.

Jesus Juice?

If he was really born in the philippines

then he can probably channel the Black Nazarene..

dont forget

gallo always plays well against bron bron

but portland still down by 12
pray to tebow

to hope that continues

Bounce was Back..

But the execution was a lacking a little bit. Got sloppy fast. Although Nets hitting 19 threes… yes 19 threes kinda nutso.

Think Gallo is alright. He was able to walk off. Need to play better D against Miami.. But no way Miami will bomb away like that.

I ain't scared

of those motherfuckers

oops.. my bad..

20 3s by New Jersey.. wow.. that is 60 pts.. over have their total.. crazy..

Reporting straight from out own Nate Timmons at Pepsi Center

Tim Grgurich was sitting on second row of the Nuggets bench tonight

Interesting
good sign, maybe?
Gonna do some digging to see if he's been hired back
who?
Grgurich
Someone buy that man a vowel
former Nuggets assistant

quit in a huff when Mark Warkentien was fired

he any good?
Communicates well with players

when Karl can’t. In fact, he was close to J.R. Smith and Carmelo Anthony. He could talk to them when Karl was being a stubborn ass

Players like him, I think.
Very good

Made JR somewhat sane

so a knucklehead whisperer.

interesting.

Hah

Knucklehead whisperer. I like it.

Does Denver have a knucklehead

That warrants whispering?

GK
Well played

Kevin No. 3. Well played.

thank you thank you
moz is a knucklehead

just a benevolent one is all

He's a knucklehead in the literary sense.

His skull is hard.

You mean literal?
Nah...literary.

He hits his head against the encyclopedia nightly

JR was malevolent?
yup

moz doesnt have a criminal record

That doesn't mean he's benevolent.

Maybe he’s just never been caught.

awwww

someone just cant let swish go

Uh...that has nothing to do with it.

You’re making assumptions about Mozgov. I’ve never said JR didn’t have issues.

so why would you start

going after mozgov when there is nothing to suggest he is anything but a model citizen?

Huh? Who's "going after" Mozgov?

I was saying that we don’t that he’s either malevolent or benevolent. What a strange accusation…..

*know enough about him yet
innocent till proven guilty
Good lord man

I haven’t accused him of anything. What gives here?

nevermind I give up

you win

lol.
I'm totally confused by the

animosity here …..

Don’t worry, I got your back.

cant believe

there’s even an argument about mozgov of all people.

more like malcontent
Malnourished

You know how it is in the Dog House.

This seems fair
oh yeah and my history teacher taught JR in high school

said he was a douchebag

A douchebag? Nah, he doesn't look like one here.

Apparently JR's sister

was involved in a fight during his last game in China.

Exactly

He’ll still be eating schezuan.

Yes he was. I was sitting a few rows behind Grgurich
Griffin just canned a trey
lakers by 1 in OT

refs bailing out kobe as usual.

but the blazers are still getting spanked
down 16 in the third

espeically at the rose garden, where they usually play really well.

two take aways for tonight. Nene should not be handling the ball from outside

And if he gets it, he should pass it immediately. I think the team would do better with either Lawson or Dre on the court. The change of pace would be hard for teams to adjust.

wow portland getting punked at home
Happens to good teams sometimes

When they play other good teams.

Orlando >>>>> New Orleans.

and your point is?
That I'm still really sore

About that terrible lose to the Hornets on Monday and the win tonight against a turb Nets team was not enough to wash that nasty taste away.

theres a joke in there.

sore. and nasty taste.

agreed!

and I took three rolaids

Tums are better
This is fact
activated carbon is even better
aka charcoal pills
Also just talking calcium is a quick trick too
but tastes like, well, carbon :p
nah

just swallow it quickly and it tastes like any other pill

you mean you don't chew your valium?
Gummy Valium is the way to go
mmmm....gummy valium
wait there's a gummy valium>?
i prefer the lollipop form
I think they did a CSI: NY about those
Gummy valium or the lollipop?
Lollipop laced with some narcotic like valium
I thought it was typically X
maybe in real life, but not in the world of CSI
Honestly just let it go
beating miami will do that
Is it just me or does corey brewer have wierd hair?
he's going for the pre afro 70's look
he looks the part.

thin long and hairy..

I haven't noticed

But so long as he keep producing like he did tonight, he can do whatever he wants.

i think they called it a jerry curl in the day
where's the jeri curl juice then?
he rubs it on his opponents to slip by to the hoop
now, its a geriatric curl
Nice win

New Jersey was on fire from 3 land tonight. I don’t think they make 20 in a game the rest of the year but that was the only reason this game was that close. Nice to see this game bounce back tonight. Friday against the Heat, should be fun!

Rudy, Gallo, and Brewer all played well!

good news for nuggs
They just need to be more consistent

and stop starting the game ice cold.

Portland on their 2nd b2b and are doing terrible.. cant handle it
especially without having to travel

jeez…

easiest schedule in the league
well, lets hope for orlando! nitey!
Oh J.R...you knucklehead

http://t.co/UO701Iw0

Seems to run in the family

And why is her sister in China with him anyway?

Their problem now.

Bizarre
and doing it in china of all places

they take stuff like these seriously.

Maybe it's a ruse

a way to get deported or something.

They would come up with that idea.

Yeah real smart..

thats a good way to stay in china… Forever.

Hey I didn't say it was a GOOD idea, lol

That’s MVK for ya.

JR

goes on like this, he’ll end up being turned into Yao Mings personal bitch.

He’ll take the job if it involves tasting his wines.

get deported or put in prison would be lucky

He better be worried about his own life out there.

How funny (like sad funny can't turn away) would it be

if JR’s sister ended up in a Chiness hoosegow?

Wacist!!

that brought a little chuckle out of me
the whole family

is such a class act

why did D-Will get ejected?
two techs for arguing a foul
Argued a call I think
2 techs arguing a call

Wanted to get to Dallas ASAP.

nice hand, sir
Ya know how ya'll saw that article on Dre wanting out

Would a Dre for Mo Williams trade interest any of ya?

so he can go back up both Chauncey and Paul?
I'm just saying hypothetically
i would rather include him in a trade

for a more solid big to pair with nene.

I'm sure that magnificent bastard Masai

could figure out a Dre for D12 pick

No need to make a trade

Miller is going to be better than anything they get for him this season and then when he leaves the Nugs will have the freed up cash to get a more impact player.

nets would never do it

youd rather get nothing than mo williams

Looking back at it.

They should’ve.

I think Mo Williams is in LA
mo williams is on lob city
having mo williams starting on your team

is tantamount to admitting defeat (unless you also happen to have lebron)

i know it was against the Nets but

Nuggets shot better overall and from 3, AAA getting his groove back, 36 something assists, great contributions from the steals of the year in Rudy and Brewer, if not 20 3pts from NJ this is a blowout. Comment of the night though is definitely “Knucklehead Whisperer”

I second that ocmment of the night
deron williams still looked elite
so did his temper
thats what being on a losing team does to ya.
Orlando up 5 with 3 minutes left in Portland
Orlando up 3 with 2:45 left in Portland
just like that 98-93
Orlando up 5 with 2:15 left in Portland
ORLANDO UP 8 WITH 1:30 LEFT IN PORTLAND!!!
Hedo turkoglu reminds me of gallo
TAKE THAT BACK!
Gallo is better but he just reminds me of him... both 6-10 white idk
shouldnt it be the other way around?
no...it should never be spoken of again
ok ok

hedo is a poor mans gallo better?

maybe gallo is like a better 2008 hedo?
gallo would

school hedo like a nun at a catholic school

disagree

Gallo smokes about a carton less

Except Gallo’s better.

ORLANDO UP 9 WITH 1 MINUTE LEFT!!!:)
its probably over. they pulled a denver nugget move.
felton having a great game

2-11, for 7 points and a -17

hooray for mediocre florida profesional sports teams!
orlando up 3 with 30 seconds left...Orlando ball.
jamal crawford is just a beast....
Richardson goes 1-2, Orlando up 4, portland ball
Karl better use Moz and Kouf more on Friday

Gallo may not be 100%, Nene still not there, who knows how Bird will feel after his best most active game of the year, and I think Al may be getting tired too. These 3-4 guard lineups are driving me crazy!

I thought Moz played very well tonight.
just needs more minutes

Not his fault that everyone else couldn’t defend 3pt line

Nene not there as in not where he needs to be
Orlando up 2 with 20 seconds left, Orlando ball.
105-101 i thin kthats ball game unless crawford does something very crazy
Orlando up 4, 16 seconds left, Portland ball
107-101 9 seconds left
i swear most of the Nuggets must have been at the Bronco game and stayed up too late

To lose to the Hornets the way they did….

lol aldrige hit a 3 to make it 107-104. too little too late with 2.9 seconds left
It looks like the head don't have much of a bench...

Huge advantage nuggets… need fly lawson back, hopefully gallo isn’t hurt to bad

So, any report on Gallo yet?
maybe not so bad since he was sitting on the bench with an ice pack

If its really bad he should’ve been in the locker room with the leg elevated. ICE – Ice, Compression, Elevation right?

Glad nuggs won

too bad I was able to watch

And my streak continues

I have yet to go to a nuggets home game and see them lose

I don't know what you Guys saw on tv

But to me it seemed like the nets took nothing but 3s and kept making them! without those 3s this game is like a 40 point blow out

Right?

It was crazy. Went to the game with Nate and UN Fab five. It felt like a blowout the enitre game, but those threes kept them in it

But the threes were wide open for the most part

Denver’s perimeter defense has been sad the last 4-5 games.

There was plenty open in the first quarter but they locked down a bit more later

And the nets were still over 50% open or not

That was my impression. Just insanely hot from 3
Shut up CP Flopper
I used to like the Clippers....I think I might not any more....because of CPME
You know whyt the Nuggets won right?
Uh....Sorry? We didn't play the Clippers....I'm confused
Just got home and didnt want to read all the comment

We won tonight because I was there. 12-0 when I attend games!

How are all these fans undefeated when they go to games?

I think I’m 1-20 lifetime.

I've never been to a Nuggets game :'(
Cause I'm awesome
Well when you keep going against bottom feeders
Not true

But most of my games have been these past few years when the home winning streak was terrific

I don't know about you but I meant AoN
Lakers game 2 WCF

in LA. Still won

Then I blame you for not being there in game 5
yeah yeah

game 2 cost me $455 a ticket. Wasn’t shelling that out a second time

The Heat are going to be pissed.

If they lose two games in a row… Don’t want to face a pissed off Heat team Friday.

So, reluctantly, go Floppers!

Er

I meant Boo floppers!

Get him a binkie.

Vlade Divac would be proud of these two teams.

Bron Bron is going to have a tizzy
And boy did Chauncey act on that one
