Bulls fan here

Go nuggs! Beat the heat!

Nene is mad overpaid...
lol

DOUBLE DIGIT REBOUNDER he’s not

If mozzy or kouf or faried got the minutes nene gets

then they would be double digit rebounds.

You’re telling me the 6’11" Center who plays like he is 6’5", fingerolls what should be dunks, and rarely ever crashes the offensive board is not overpaid…

He's being agressive in the paint at least

which is good.

Do we really want some who is being paid 67 million dollars

To “atleast” be aggresive in the paint. Someone making that much should ALWAYS be aggressive in the paint…

ok first
LHWYA
? can you say that in french
Look How Wrong You Are
hey, first to say first counts for something doesn't it?
Well it does. It just doesn't actually count as first. YMMV
Hit refresh

You were like 5th at best

Whoa

Another first half thread. Thank you Andrew!

No jumping jack pictures in this thread
give the ball

to a certain 6’10" rooster

Is Gallo really 6'10

or just 10 inches?

He is 6

10 inches

Gallo is the same height as Nene
Gallo has been playing pretty good D
Haven't been able to watch a game or post in forever

Glad to be able to watch a game, first one this year!

Gotta score some points

Not a good team to be trailing

Moz carrying our O!
who woulda thunk?
Mozzy!!!
Mozzy the Russian Bear!
Moz has a nice butterfly shot

has a lot of arch.

Who needs Dwight

when we got MOZZY!!!!!!

Gallo missed the lay up

Brings back bad memories

its as if the team is asking

what is this strange orb I have in my hand

Gah...I really dislike LBJ so much
Holy Mozgov Batman!!!
Mozzy again!!
AAA! for three
YAY!!!!!!! 3!!!!!
And a Lebron foul
can we already declare this moz's best game of the season?
Okay that play by the heat was mad cool...
Rudy is gonna have a tough time defending
Rooster Trey!!!!!
Sweet Jesus

Actually seeing 3s drop is amazing

Especially since it's not in a Nets jersey
GALLO RELEASES A THREE!!!!!!!!
He can get it in the hole

from 23 feet away!

Refs love the heat..wow
WTF?

That was a block. Quit blowing the refs LeBron

superstar call

thats to be expected.

what...an offensive rebound?
And LBJ still can't hit FTs....

/smug

Nene has some venom flowing
Moz block again. gooooooooo!
an offensive rebound???

from nene?

RUN TY RUN!!!!!!!!!
LAW-DUNK

respect

Respect the Law.....Son
Ty wth some hops
Lets run em out of the Can!
Blurrrrrrrrrrrrrry vision
I like when Lawson takes that 10 foot jump shot

with that, he is unstoppable.

Nene going hard to the rim...and the foul!
Venom..aka Nene
nuggs bringing their A game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the team I love!!
look at that, theyre back in D
fuck miami and everyone on espn who blows them
Manimal is going crazy on the sideline. It's brilliant
I saw him

and thought, shit… Balkman’s still here?

mozgov's taken some lessons from manimal
i hope spoelstra gets ejected again!
I can't stand him...really
Lesson to all Moz haters

Be patient you fools!!

I really hate this time out confusion...

It’s allowing the Heat to pick up their jocks.

It's intentional IMO
Miami is not even running the court
mozgov here to play!!
Mozgov making the Heat front court

his bitch.

just got back

what I miss?

Ehh.. Spolstra reminds of someone..

From charles in charge.. Lol

Charles??
Perhaps.. Lol
chachi?
Who would be Charles in that scenario...lol
finally seeing some quality moz
FERNANDEZ!!!!!!!

OVER LEBITCH

In yo face james..hahaha
that steal was clean
its against the heat

nothing is clean

Rudy making lebron his biatch
we gettin rebounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing what a rebound will do
Moz's coming out party this game
almost missed the game
Moz and the boys working hard on the boards!

I love it.

They see him blocking, the hating

On mozzy

Our defense has been pretty effective

manning up the perimeter guards and playing zone in the paint.

lets pour it on

break their spirit.

Karl looks infuriated
What is going on with the refs tonight???
playing against the heat

what do you think

but as long as LeBron goes to the line

I don’t mind it as much

how are we doing so far?
28-14 in the first still

We are killing them

thanks

forgot we had a game today lol

beating the heat

and the refs

AL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Al got walloped
Miller was like

why me….

hahaha... i was scared for him!
Im loving big al this year..

Now hes hurting.. Uh oh

lol hiding Al's mouthpiece in his underwear....
mozgov 6 points 5 rebounds 3 blocks so far
rootytoot +15 in 5 min!!
Hope that injury

Doesnt take the wind outta our sails.. I feel a run from miami on the verge.

Nah

he is up now. Karl was concerned though

x

don't underestimate the bostrich's flopping

or ’bron’s

Yay AL seems to be okay
Thought it'd be another QPU moment
Good times....good times...
How far ahead would we be if we could get a call?
93-12
On pace for TID's prediction
boy that play aged karl
moz

has looked real good tonight

Work 'em Karl.
Oh Rudy...that was bad
Gallo needs to take that
Yup...not sure why he didn't
basketball reasons
i'm happy to see

George getting worked up tonight!

I hate this slow pace

with all the out of bounds, delayed timing…

Finish out the quarter strong Nuggets!
wasn't that a double dribble?

no one touched the ball going up

Travel ..wow
ChiaBucket!!!

z

finally Nene

a jumpshot that isn’t an airball!

scary.. i mean great shot!
Gallo fighting for rebounds
WAT???? How was that a foul on Gallo???
It wasn't

LeBron looked at the ref

Nice board by gallo

Horrible foul, on gallo

hahaha

the refs are going to work against us all night

I wonder if the ref's received thier marching orders tonight

in a frozen envelope.

the refs

can suck my cock

Still working on Lebron's...
The love fest continues..omg
one of those nights, huh refs?

sigh

STERN IS HITTING THE PANIC BUTTON
not the panic button!
more like the refs
Stern controls the refs
Beautiful Gallo pass

Negated.

Oh come on!!! That was a good block
WHAT HTE FUCK

:LSDKJG:LSDKJGLSJGLSJGLDSJGLKSJG_@RU)+WE(T)#)#*%)(#

I'm pretty sure iawtc
Dre was really slowing down the game.
Come on refs

This is bullshit

Only reason the Heat didn't crushed that quarter
lawson gets beat up twice as bad every time
9 freethrows already
ball dont lie!
ok, i give up... what does that mean anyway?
BS foul call = missed FT

the ball don’t lie, even it knows there was no foul.

we need to quicken the pace

next quarter

Dre really slowed it down a bit.
Still spelling ref wrong
nuggs would be up 16

if this was a normal game that didnt have WWE officials

I wish Karl would stand up for his team

Get right up in the refs face, even if he did get ejected for it. This can’t keep happening

I don't want him getting ejected so early in the game
It would probably motivate the team

and set the refs straight

But who would be the coach then?
I wouldn't mind a T, though

I thought he should’ve got one after Gallo’s “offensive foul”

Agree
How does every coach against the Head not get T'd up once or twice
damn had a chance to blow it open there

the Al turnover/injury killed the mo, then the storm troopers took over.

Funny video to kill time during the commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysmLA5TqbIY

Thank you

Feel better about life

Pink glasses, ugly chick..gotta love our fans
So Far.... VERY NICE!
1st quarter stats

+12 for Mozzy is pretty sweet
not to mention 6-5 and 3 blocks woot!
moz tops the scoring charts too
So why was AAA pulled so fast?
foul trouble I think
good point

didnt even notice

Mother pearl!

A non-Denver is called!

non-Denver foul*
Spoelstra looks constipated
Maybe the officials arent the only ones full of shit tonight then.
Comment of the night...leader in the clubhouse
hey!

2 whole fouls on miami!

AND 1

Fernandez!

We got another call?

I don’t believe it

how does denver lead by 9

and they interview miami at the end of the quarter….

One team gets the end of 1st quarter interview, the other gets end of 3rd quarter

It’s probably set up pregame

i think there was a touchdown
I would prefer we maintain at least a 10 pt lead at all times.
Over Nene's back!!! sheesh
neen cant hit an inside to save his mother
nene misses so many easy layups
hahahah another one
ugly, slow, boring...
We got another foul call!

Did we switch uniforms or something?

Stern called

Was mad that it was so obvious

shhhh don't tell them
shhhh don't tell them
Karl slipped them a fitty
squeeze em nene
good tip out by Brewer
Fucking love Brewer!
i like our offensive rebounding this game

second chance points.

Nene has to get agressive
already a plus on the court
what was that craziness?
lol that was a foul
the first legit nuggs foul of the game
omg

nene just stood there and bosh tripped over him-foul on nene.

hey refs if they cause the contact you're not supposed to ball a foul any more
That was a foul????? WTFingF???
how do they call these fouls and get away with it?
two words

David. Stern.

Too fancy Brewer
Come on Nuggets

got to play D

nene cant stand there anymore
Uh wasn't that a foul on Rudy in the corner???
Wow...

Just wow…

get gallo and moz back out there
dam heat look better when lebron is on the bench
If the Heat were smart

They trade Lebron for Dwight

that would be smart
pull Miller

I knew this slow pace would eventually bite us in the ass.

put gallo back in

and cut the audio feed from sterns office to the refs’ earpieces

I'm getting a couple of beers from the fridge...

can I get you folks anything while I’m up?

beer and a sandwich
Another glass of wine
Hey George

Put some big guys in, you have plenty of them

We need size

When Ru Paul is making hay, we need Moz. Or Kouf.

gotta say

the refs are keeping miami in this one, it shouldnt be as close as it is right now

we could also try finishing a few of our inside layups
refs wouldn't do something that under handed would they?
We gotta start running

and forcing Miami to take jumpers

ok nene, you had your outside for the day. pass from now on
Glad Gallo want to rebound
gallo was easily fouled on teh last play
afflalo didn't move wade...
Mozzy set to check in
did Karl preach for Nene jumpshots in the huddle

Wow.

how was there 1 nugget on D against 3 Heat players

cant break the law
the refs just did
of course we get another foul called on us
"out of control...."

yes the refs are

miami can't lose

they have a big 3!

Where do the refs go during half time?

Might need to drive to the can and make sure they call this game fairly

from no fear to no fair!
its gonna take a lot more rum

to get through this spectacle by the refs

We will prevail
If the Nuggets win this

It would be against the heat and the refs

Does points in the paint include FTS?
own the glass mozy
How is that not 3 seconds on lbj
do the refs call 3 seconds on any team besides us?
We train at higher altitude

Therefore our angular velocity and time travels fast, this leads to easier called three second violations against the Denver Nuggets

its team ball vs solo ball

new nuggets vs melo nuggets

get miller out and put rudy in
Get Dre off the floor

he has slowed us down

Hess should coach

all he has to do is say “FASTER, FASTER, YOU ARE GETTING FASTER GUYS! FASTER!”

If Nene would go as hard to the rim as Ty does

he could be MVP

"Very nice comeback by Miami"?

At least 1/2 the credit goes to the refs….sheesh

what was that weird sound? i think it was a whistle against the other team?
I think you must be having aural hallucinations...
Back to a good lineup
good hands on D team!
that was a funny pass up
Jump little man Jump!
What a bunch of pussies

The nuggs need to toughen up big time.

How is lawson not fouled there
There's no getting rid of the Heat

but the Nuggets have played really well!

this is ugly ball. i love it!
AAA blocks a center!
screw these charging
AAA block!!!!!
omg wtf he was inside the restricted area
I thought so too but I ran back the dvr and hew was outside.

one of the few good calls tonight…sorry to say

Outside the circle? Yes

Set? No

Not a charge.

Karl with a Technical!!!!!

GO GK!

GK got T'd up

about damn time

the heat look tired
The Heat's best players tonight are wearing gray and black
Charge????

What. The. Fuck??

Yeah

only cause its the heat

wait, are you saying that law charged?
yea first time ive seen a charge with the defender in the restricted area
Wow just wow...

Fucking 8 vs 5 out there

Why is gallo so clumsy on the fast break
I thought lebron got a hand on it?
I can relate

I’m out of control on the fast break when I play…

he doesnt look right today
how could that be a call against the nuggets?
That 2nd year ref is beating us singlehandedly
i think stern is paying the announcers to not show the replay
They did

on Altitude. Got it on picture in picture

AAA got the T not George
I know

makes me sad. Thought Karl actually did something useful

Missed Free Throw

Ball dont lie, that shouldnt have been a charge

Whose the analyst?
i like

what he’s saying about charges. I agree completely

MOZ!
He (GK) should put in Kufus also
look at the floating jump by moz?
Go get em Drago

I mean mozgov

Zebras squashed that momentum
MOZ will bring it back
Moz squash zebra in Russia
yes, nene looks good making assists
gotta love the NBA

a Russian stalwart finds his Brazilian teammate for the bucket!

Gallo breathed on James

therefore, foul

Um, excuse me?

That was a Ginobili-esque flop by Bron

who's at the game?

start a flop chant

Where exactly was the foul by Gallo?
Could you all see what we Mozzies like about Moz?
ball don't lie?
HAND DOWN MAN DOWN

Someone’s gotta say it with him gone.

ROOSTER BOOSTER!
Gallo for 3!

yesssssss

ahahaah awesome gallo!!
Gallo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROOSTER !!!!!
The cock!
No

Can’t post that

Can get banned for it
i'm refering to gallo though
Doesn't matter. It's a bannable offense. Trust me on this.
Using that in any reference now

and they will ban you for it

Correct.
fine just call him gallo then
Rooster is acceptable too
yeah you don't want the

how about le coq sportif?
i wouldnt test it
I wouldn't risk it.

Red’s Celtics comparison? Aw shucks.

Great pass though.

oh moz? what was that????
trying to beat the buzzer
i think its harder for him to miss the shot than make that one
all in all

not a bad half, keep it up Nuggets

nice try Gallo

I could of sworn he got fouled on that shot attempt

gallo fouled

great pass, damn moz

DAMN IT MOZ SUCKS

j/k

Refs trying to keep the Heat in it...
and doing a good job of it so far.
nice pass from Gallo

finish not so much

If you're gonna accept a pass from the Rooster

you gotta finish it off. I"m just sayin…..

If you don't

you get blue … …

Damn I thought Moz would get that last one
Everyone did

They just stood and watched

oh man

ty getting interviewed

good half

miami can only win this if the refs carry them the entire game

Okay so they interview Ty and ask him about Dwade....lovely
let's beat the heat and the refs!!!
gallo

needs to get to the hoop in the 2nd half

That's it

Time to get a Mozgov throwback jersey…

Beat the refs! Beatthe refs!
Beat the Refs!!!!
Beat the Refs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
You mean like with a stick?
2nd half stats

1st half stats....
opps, those are incorrect

don’t believe these stats

how does it add to 37?
i give the 1st half ball to moz!
What about Ty? He was leading in points
This is Moz's best game of the year

and its only halftime

I'm just saying that Ty makes a good argument
how about both ty AND moz?
Oh stop being all fair and stuff :D
no! there can only be one first half ball
You just like to argue
What?
you read what i said
But it's not true :(
I know

just needed another comment

This

It’s his coming out party, I hope he gain a lot of confidence from this.

More importantly, I hope his teammates start giving him the ball more. Moz is always posting up and has a 99% chance of making the shot. Plus him having the ball will free up other players

even with that painful miss at the end
ok, second ball to ty

and a third to gallo

Broussard just said that Miami has the best D in the league...

Did the Bulls cease to exist after their game or something?

Yes
ahh ok. glad I checked. thanks
They get tunnel vision when talking about the heat

all other teams don’t matter

Only thing that could beat Miami's D

Is Miami’s offense

and only god can stop the miami offense

oh wait…

Dre was looking terrible out there

if he is gonna slow the game down and not be aggressive he needs to sit this game. Probably should spend less time whining about not starting and more time playing good ball.

he's gonna be 36 next month

who is he kidding?

I want to see him be effective playing like himself

he isn’t doing that, he just does not belong in this game.

he plays an old man's game

not suitable with a fast paced offense that we’re beating the heat with right now

I have an idea that may just work

Can the people who control the scoreboard at the can “accidentally” put the 3rd and 4th quarter as the 4th on the jumbotron? Might just work

lol the Reverse Tebow effect

I like it

I like the way you think
Plus it will kill Lebron at the same time!!!!

I’m all for this.

you listening to the espn broadcasters still drooling over the heat?
theyre probably over at the heat bench

giving the players handjobs.

No, the guys doing that are the refs
i don't know what game their watching by they looked beateable to me
I really don't think

Hot chicks go gaga over KFC hot wings…

/justsayin

They might

when they are high

Sounds like something worth experimenting
you get the wings

I will go find the girls

then i'll take both the wings and the girls

good plan?

definitely think the heat are tired

saw on several possession them trudging slowly up the court. gotta run, run, run to start the half

kobe had another 40 tonight?
So he must have shot at least 40 times then

Or so I always assume about Kobe.

Its half time i think

he has 24 or 28 so far

24 pts on 9-14 at the half
I'm only joking

I just dislike Kobe, he is the most over-praised basketball player I’ve ever seen. A pure volume shooter who it terrible in the clutch. Guy has talent, but is definitely not a top 10 NBA player of all time, not even close.

whoops, ONLY 24 at half. they must be talking about last night?
ugh

now they are servicing kobe on espn

well in all honesty he has earned it the last 3 games.
When Kobe scores more than 35 a game, its never good

reminds me of the days when he was scoring a crap load of points with Kwame Brown on the team.. those are considered the “dark ages” for Laker fans… 2-3 years of mediocrity.. the horror!

Normally I would agree with you

but this year he is 4th in the NBA in avg efficiency per game and he has been even better the last 3

OT

Does anybody else see #8 on Kobe’s back because he is playing like he is still wearing that number

He switched it back this year?
Nojust

playing like he did

The 2 PG lineup does not work against the Heat

At least they are taking jumpshots and not going to the rim.
GK should use more zone and less 2 PG lineup and this will be a blowout…but I see the 2 PG lineup happening and it being a close game.
Regardless LeBrick is around so I am not worried in a close game

Gk has gotta go big
Go big

Stay big, and limit Dre’s minutes. Totally ineffective.

agree

miller has a -8 with 0 pts 1 reb and 1 ast. keep him out!

let rudy play backup pg and more brewer and mozy
faried might stop this srupid offensive rebounding of MIA
this

rudy has looked good lately. id be good with him being regular back up pg once we ship dre out

but we need as a shooter. not sure of his playmaking
Is Stone active today?

his length would give the Heat some issues

yes

Carroll is Inactive for tonight. Nursing a hammy pull

who is carroll?
Demarre Carroll

SF/PF, member of our Braidy Bunch

all these guys i never even heard of. ujiri seems to pull bunnies out of his hat or somewhere
This is the kind of fast pace high energy game

that Faried would excel in. Have to imagine his D would help.

It would

but he didnt attend UNC

lol

Should’ve played PG too, then he’d be starting!

I love how

despite the fact that the nuggs are up the halftime show focused about 85% of its time on the heat

more like 95%
yeah its like we're the Washington generals

You do know that broadcasters are stupid, just flat out dumb, right?

Also gotta love how Magic said we would lose

I think that about seals the win. He is so bad at predicting things, that you can pretty much take the opposite of what he says as true

I bet even if Denver wins

the heat would still get the coverage.

that goes without saying
it'll be like this - BREAKING NEWS: Heat lose

then a discussion of how they lost, what they could’ve of done better, and looking ahead.
no mention of the nuggs at all

The good thing is

Bird hasnt gotten any PT

No place for biting on head fakes
It is amazing so far
Maya's dress is so purple

It’s almost hyponotizing

Altitude

is blacked out in Utah :(, it’s just as well, I shouldn’t lust after married women anyway even if she is cute

Isn't Maya just hypnotizing?
ESPN's take: Miami is freaking amazing, but struggling

Nuggets are a basketball team I think

"Isn't all that people do in Denver is milk cows?"
There is a city named Denver?

Holy Shit! Thought that Tebow stuff was just a cartoon

love how all the highlights for halftime are of the Heat

its like we are the Washington Generals and we are losing by 30

speedy little man!
Come nuggets run!!!
Drive to the hoop guys

draw the fouls

how come nene is just standing there?

get aggressive!!!

ty just boxed out lebron
lawson showing how o use your body in the paint.

pay attention nene

lebron has wwhat 100 pounds on ty
Some Lead insurance
ball dont lie

refs only call 3 seconds when its convinient for them

hahahahahahahahahaha

FLOP FAIL!!!!!!!

It wansn't until before game time that they found out that

there was a basketball team in Denver

what? theyre calling AAA a SF?
its ESPN

they didnt know Denver had a team until halftime

In Russia

Mozgov dunks you!

Mozzy and should have been +1
And 1 much?

Drago got clobbered. As did Nene.

where is the and 1?

KEEP FIGHTING!!!

Slam it down big man. Slam it down.
2 and 1s not called
Nene with an offensive rebound and the flush!
NO FUCKING CALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nene and that should have been a +1
over the back
How do you miss that?
If you let Wade drive

he will score on you

that's a foul refs
can nene put a hand up or what??
finally

a foul

WE got a foul call!
Shit's getting brutal in the paint

Gonna give Mozzy some more burn

Mozgov is playing well to show his Russian comrades WHAT'S UP!
I dont see how that wasnt an over the back foul

because it wassss

easy

it was d wade

The rare foul call

we must treasure this

instead of Al taking mozzy

he takes nene

Al for Nene?

What is this madness?

GK has gone crazy
evil karl working his rotations
nice d ty on bosh
whats amazing is that moz has 0!!!! fouls
Ty with the good post D hehe
of course heat get a foul

Rudy’s reaction says it all.

These refs are just pathetic
Did james just get a mushroom stamp?
CALL THAT BOTH WAYS
thats trash man~
lol Lebron still can't make FTs
BALL DON'T MFING LIE
that was a foul

but if thats a foul you gotta be consistent

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
x

haha is he making a come back???
BUCKINGTON!

DUN DU DUNNN

Harrington!

the Heat look brutal, come on LeBron, missing free throws, really?

there ya go AL!
Thats why i say the refs are bad

Nene gets mugged, no foul

can i just say

that if this is what moz can become, i am incredibly on board

This is a sentiment

That I can share with you, swmrkev

Altitude must have gotten some extra money

Look at that Hastings drawing on the screen

FUCKING FANCY!

on a note

why is the can so quiet when we score? Like the Mozdunk reaction had little cheers.. unless TNT is not micing the audience.

its loud on altitude
TNT?

I have it on ESPN and Altitude

opps

I meant ESPN

lets run their buns
12 points 7 rebounds 3 blocks for Moz
and still no minutes for bird

could GK finally have pulled his head out

As much as i like birdan

Hes a novelty

and 0~!!! fouls
that alone is worth a game ball
Tyyyyyyy with the drive
Come on now

When you run into a stationary person and push him 10 feet, that is not a defensive foul

Even Scott and Chris admitted that he reached in, though
great flop by asslom
go little man, as fast as your tiny heart will take you!
4 gallo fouls
so long as he's playing good D

he hasnt given up easy shots yet.

What if Moz plays this good all the time

And this is the real Mozgov. Twighlight zOne?

ruuuuuddddddddyyyyyyyyyy!!
Denver looking good.

Really like Karl giving Moz some burn. Nice to see that our new center is actually pretty good.

AAA...great job
Nicely done Nuggies

the Heat are too slow to keep up!

and a 1? surprised they didnt call it a charge
took away the and 1
AAA!

nice hustle Lawson

WHAT AN EFFORT!!!
they can't stop ty
omg do my eyes deceive me...a travel on the king?
