So this is the worst team in the league?

They look pretty damn good to me! Also, Dre can’t stay in front of Mack at ALL! And Bird needs to take a seat at the end of the bench. That is all.

HOW DARE YOU, ANDREW.
Seriously. Mojo. Ruined.
I forgot of Rashard Lewis's existence.

WOW Young is having a career night

It won't continue

We were in the same hole last game, we are a 2nd quarter team.

17 points for Young in the first?

On pace for 68. Lulz.

Yeah..

Washington playing way over their head. See if they can keep it up. Nuggets just need to keep contact.

Anyone thinking this might be a McRoberts moment?
awful first quarter defensively
Bird just cannot move fast enough on D anymore
in case you were wondering

Washington is 27th in the league in points per game.

Rudy!

one of the very few Real Madrid players I can stand

Who else do you like and why don't you like most of them?

Just curious!

More of a footy comment, Barca fan here.

I like Ozil and Khedira because I’m German and my love for the national team will always outweigh the hate for a domestic team. But I don’t actually hate all Real players, Pepe needs to go to a place far FAR away though.

Ah, I see!

Barca’s got some good players, especially Juan Carlos Navarro so I get it. It was nice watching the Spanish Armada (Rudy and Sergio) play together again … missed the amazing lobs Sergio would throw to Rudy and Serg sure didn’t forget how to do that!

I don't like taking long jump shots just inside the 3 point line

but whatever, I’ll take it.

The Long 2

The move mastered by Kobe Bryant.

no more bird please
+1

Faried can’t be much worse

Buckets!

DEFENSE DAMMIT!!

I see just ditch me in the other game thread...
I posted that there was a new thread...ironic no?
hahhaha I suppose so
It's a terribly lonely feeling...though
But I thought the plan

was to punish Andrew for trying to win us over and stay in the other one?

I didn't get that memo....
Wizzard likely a better team than they've been playing like

They just needed some confidence and better rhythm.
This will be a challenge.

Feels like 2010 all over again
Cmon Ty wake up !
Lawson, no one is going to fall for your pump fake if you never take the 3 pointer.
seriously

and it’s not like he can’t make em

Bird with some jump so far
you could also say that

about manimal this year

alright

Bird is playing OK….I still think Faried CAN"T be much worse

i trust faried as a shot blocker and rebounder over bird
Rudy D and fastbreak!

better

they are free dammit!

Free!

AL's been pretty bad from the line this year

It’s about the only thing bad you can say about his play though

starts with defense
wizards having the shooting night off their lives

but only up 7. they should know how this will end

The end is near

Of that i’m certain

Well at least we are THAT far behind
*aren't
/quits scratching head
we keep up the defensive intensity

then we should be fine. The wiz have looked good on offense but still pretty bad on defense despite their lead

nice defense!

just intensify it!

Gotta turn it up on D,

but the Wiz aren’t gonna shoot like this all night either

They lead the league in shots taken just inside the 3 point line

the most ineffective way of scoring the basketball.

I still don't understand

how Rudy can get half a foot over that rim on a fastbreak and Gallo can’t even dunk it.

Human beings are not all the same?
Yeah, Gallo's like half a foot taller.
Being tall != Dunking necessarily
Umm Gallo has dunked plenty before
I was being a little facetious.

But he goes for the layup every time.

No he does not
gallo can dunk with the best of em

…when his ankle is healthy

you do Know that Gallo was among league leaders in dunks, right?
Who are you and what have you done with sgiustra?
I'm not kidding

a week or so ago he was in the top 5 in dunks

I know. It's just amusing that you are defending him......
loved Gallo since he came to Knicks
I know! I'm teasing you man
I personally think we should trade him.

So let’s agree to disagree.

For who?
I don't have anyone specific in mind.

But I’d been saying since the offseason that the Nuggets are really putting a large part of their future into him. More than I think we should. And I don’t think he’s very good, but I think teams would value him highly enough.

Just my opinion. I know it’s not happening.

sguistra always has his gallo down
you mean, stats on target

I ’ve never had gallo down

He's down with Gallo?

Cool. I’m down with that too.

Im not!

Catholic Sicilian after all

But you just said you loved him since he was with the Knicks.

Thus you are, in fact, down with him.

Yes it’s oldskool speak

in the platonic way

not as Plato DID

That's what I mean...I don't know what you meant.
so,

whats for dinner?

Nothing for me. Still early.
KEEP YOUR FACTS OUT OF THIS
I when Bird...

plays with energy on the glass, but I can’t stand that he jumps for every pump fake in existence!!!

u _____ when bird?
I think he was gonna say love it
i understand being noncomittal

given some of his performances this season

wall is a freak

I think he’s faster than lawson.

Faster, yes

not as quick though.

Damn

John Wall is faaaaaast

Wowowowow!!! And one Bird!!!!
It's like these guys can't miss!
How was that a foul on AAA?
seriously

what?

Okay AAA do something good here
Finally some blurr
And some more blurr
Wall is gonna give Ty the jump shot all game
washington PA

playing mac miller on the organ… wtf

lol Knicks fans booing their team 5 mins in...

Last two years was “WE WANT MELO” and “WE WANT LEBRON”

Tomorrow is gonna be a lot of fun

if we win tomorrow

you’ll hear boos as never blown out before

AAA! AAA! AAA!
Can we get Mozgov back on the court?
Great passing guys!!
They are lights out from 3 at the moment :/
they'll cool off...... probably.
law of averages agrees
just hope it doesn't wait til their next game for that law to kick in.
7-10

but pretty much all of them have been wide open.

Nice to see an AAA 3!
Come on Nuggets!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

TEAMWORK!

love it

3 pt game

come on guys! Step on it already!

Small ball is working right now

so keep it that way(yeah I said it)

mayb karl does know what he's doing?
I much prefer to think bloggers know better than a coach with 1000 wins
What do you mean by "bloggers"?
In seriousness,

I bet if the teams/organizations worked with the fans at least a little, something good could come of it. We have some good ideas too.

no one thinks it never works

the problem is Karl does it no matter what.

It worked last game too

When Kosta was in, we were down I think 10+ to the 76ers early.

Washington just are not missing anything..

That won’t last though.

That's what we said about Indiana......
My Ex was a Hoosier

Is that significant?

Was it McRoberts?
different time, different team
Mmmm

Gotta love it, we are just chilling our ways back into the game.

okay...

time to bring back the rooster

Keep up the energy, Nuggs
TY is a Monster on the fast break
Wash.. announcers..

Just said Wash season high for assists is 20. They already have 17. Passing works.. who knew? Helps when you are making lots of 3s.

yet they couldnt blow denver away

Shooting is great.. you still have to play defense though

stupid knicks. you're not supposed to collapse like this till 2014 when we get your pick

can’t do anything right…

Maybe they will panic and begin to rebuild starting 2014

and go 10-72

No good links to the game..

I have been reduced to watching NBA play by play and box score.

sportlemon has a working link

went down a while ago but its back

I'll check it out

Thanks

No no no. Don’t post the actual links.

LOCK THE DOORS CLOSE YOUR WINDOWS OR JUST MOVE TO MEXICO

STERN’S NINJAS ARE EN ROUTE TO YOUR HOUSE!!!

SD's right.

SBNation sites have gotten in trouble for linking illegal streams.

Post your email and maybe someone can help you that way.

this
Mistakes were made

Is there a way to delete?

Sadly no.

One of the writers might. Just know for the future, it’s all g.

Nope

You’d have to email one of the mods…

That's kind of silly.

Sorry. New here. Have posted on the Rapids sb for awhile, but no one cares about soccer links. They’re probably pumped people are watching period.

I don't think MLS is as proprietory as the NBA
Well not my rules just letting you know.
Welcome to my world.

All games take place during the working day for me. No way would my employer be OK with me streaming an NBA game to my work laptop.

That’s why I come here!

OKay, Im back here

just got wrapped up in above thread with Gallo and Cat

Is that another 3 second violation?

FFS!

Cheddar!!!!
Please rebound!
They are higtting more threes than they have hit all year :p
Yikes

Harrington is making me eat my words.

all season for me
It's vengeance for all the eating jokes about him last year
Even you got to admit

you didn’t think he would be this good this year.

Not true. I had faith in him all along
To be a 6th man canidate?

I don’t believe it.

I thought he'd bounce back.

His production now doesn’t surprise me, the fact that we NEEDED that production otherwise we’d be complete trash surprised me.

You don't have to believe it.

But I believed he was suffering mightily last season. I have no reason to lie.

Heat check for buckets

but blurr’d

Wizards are shooting 72.7% from 3

8-11

Hopefully won't last
turns out nba players can make shots when you don't cover them.
Nick young

looks like he could be related to Chris Paul

The man who can't dunk dunked!
There's Gallo

not dunking again

member when we were getting killed?
I don't care about dunks, as long as the ball goes in. See also: Nene
Steppin up the D

that’s what I like to see

funny thing is, no one was really worried being behind by 9 to the wizards
My lord JAVALEVATOR.
have you read the article

telling mcgee off for a fancy dunk? made no sense at all. if youre a losing team the least you could do is entertain the crowd

Part of it was that it was disrespect.

The dumb thing was that it escalated into something worse. The coach thought it was bad, Javale thought it was fine, and the team split and took sides. Not good for chemistry.

Afflalo is making me sad
Afflalo is making me mad
Afflalo is making me bad
afflalo was supposed to be rad.
Now we all feel we've been had...:(
I like green eggs and ham
I always cook with pam
Let's play some NBA Jam
Afflalo dunking was a fad
For serious...

Y U NO MAKE SHOT FLALO?

I'm perplexed.

If he’s not injured what gives…?

No rhythm... still sinks the Tre though
Ha... Did you notice Moz using his soccer feet
tied ball game!
Lawsome!!! Trey!
See Lawson

you can make the 3, you don’t have to drive all the time, keep your defender honest.

Mozgov you big lunk
Doug Moe should be proud of this stiff
He's gonna get called for a block on that play

9 times outta 10

high FG % for both teams

Ours should continue to be good though.

They can't keep up with that 3pt% can they?

I mean it’s just ridiculous so far

why does gallo

only have 5 FG attempts when he was spitting hot fiyah earlier?

fouls

should be 8+ fgs

Now for a 60 pt second half by the Nuggets
and

38pts defensively

what are the refs looking at?

moz is def white don’t need to review it

wait. so you can now challenge plays in the NBA?
not challenge...refs will just review when unsure
Not exactly, but the refs check to clarify.
I would love to see a challenge system in the NBA
Ouch, that's rough.
yeah, you know

moz is a lug head

Dammit Moz

gotta get some touch!

touch?

he should of dunked that.

that was retarded
Wall

doing his Ray Rice impression

what is miller arguing about?
dam you suck AAA
He's struggling that's for sure
Talk about running into a Wall
Javale McGee is freaking athletic
Not ending the quarter
Dammit!

As soon as we get back into it they pull away again… Sloppy basketball

we sure could use some energy off the bench.....
Lawsome!!! Trey!
Lawless is Flawless
That does not reflect your best work
psssss

give it to gallo (whisper voice)

why keep it quiet??

GIVE THE BALL TO GALLO! (shouting voice)

How about an over the back foul?>
I think we are definitely getting tacos tomorrow

bring em to jake’s!

Go ahead. Lay that far off Ty all night. I dare ya.
Law should have passed off on both of his last shots
I'm seeing too many "_____ blocks Ty Lawson's [shot]"
that's ....the only thing the wiz are good at
But, John Wall?
still think he's fouled on 30% of those
what the hell lawson
Always something to be said about athleticism.
Down 2

could of been worse, that was pretty turrible

Well, really by all rights 2 pts down at the half

is wonderful…

considering how bad we played

and how Washington couldn’t miss. We should still win this

down 12 early

down 2 at the half….It could be worse

This
Yeah

We could be the Knicks

i've only watched the last 8 min

has the whole 1st half been like this?

More or less
Sometimes more, sometimes less
that was pathetic defense all around
too many open 3s

gotta close out guys

you know who's been pretty good at defense lately?

Danilo Gallinari

I think we are actually missing Rudy's pesky defense
You do realize he is playing, yes?
Yes but he's still not at full strength
He's playing OK
i saw him do a steal and dunk.

that’s pretty pesky

Rudy is a pesky defender

He got a lot better last season when his shot just wasn’t falling and he had to find other ways to contribute … and he does have a lot of other ways to contribute which is awesome. I’m just glad he seems pretty happy there and Karl is letting him play the way that he plays … always felt like McMillan wasn’t really letting him off the leash 90% of the time. Too bad, because the Blazers are trying to play more uptempo this year but we’ll see how long that lasts.

Timely 3s helping us keep case

Now how about a little defensive pressure? The Wiz are not ‘63-point half’ good.

*pace

Dur.

Ugh. This is a respond fail.
Yes yes it is....sorry man but that's funny
Agreed.

Technology mastered me this time, but the war is not yet over!

Gallo 4-5 FG, Harrington 4-6 FG and Lawson 5-8 FG

I’m shocked Nick Young wasn’t in the 2nd quarter because he wasn’t killing us at the start.

one Crazy Nick Young performance short, I feel good going into the 2nd quarter.

Ha ha

The Nuggets sure are missing a lot of lay-ups. But they seem to be playing OK aside from that.

The Wizards just seem to have all sorts of pesky energy. Don’t like giving them this confidence. Oh well.

Just waiting for Gallo to take over in the fourth quarter.

OK. Have fun watching the second half, kids. Go Nuggets.

Good luck
seconded

I know how those “meetings” can go….

Don't worry

they’ll score and win tonight, I’m sure you’ll score tonight.

See what I did there? See that?

heyoooo!
I don't want to know about his scoring ability
We'll be expecting a report on the outcome
a full scouting report!

strengths, weakness to exploit etc.

Why is everybody shocked that opposing teams always shoot great from 3 against the Nuggs?

The way the nuggets defend is double in the post without fail and dare the opposition to hit the open 3… and it doesn’t work

this

frustrates me to no end, especially considering the guys they choose to leave open

considering the wiz were the worst 3 point shooting team

it was a good strategy. time to adjust at halftime

Not a good game matchup wise for Dre

Their pgs are WAY too fast for him to keep up with

yup

might be good to keep him shelved tonight for the most part

they should put in brewer
Actually yes....
Is he hurt?

Karl has been giving him a lot of burn lately, should be tonight

good point

forgot about Brewer man

Night guys

Off to Date night

GOOOO NUGGETS!!!!!!

See ya. If we lose, it's your fault
Its like love is in the air

Damn us single Stiffers.

awww

you’ll find someone! hang in there!

yeah

I found someone. Almost got hung in there

Meh. Being single has it's advantages....
I agree, but the disadvantages can suck...well the opposite actually.
As does being coupled.

Either way you gotta be good on your own ;D

Such Wisdom...
Hey I'm just sayin'
I am a good listener
LOL you're a

smartass too

Also

Nene’s defense is missed

but his finger rolls and free throws

are not

the two polar bears arent exactly the most athletic

usually nene is just strong enough to shove them out of the paint

Best basketball name in the D-League

Fort Wayne Mad Ants….that’s awesome

agreed

love that name….sure beats the Bakersfield Jam

Hoosier crazy

Tis good though

we got a 2nd half thread or we chilling here
I think here because it was posted late.
Put some pressure on these guys

and watch them implode. You know they have the tendency to do just that.

I don't want to rely on this
That was sooo yesterday
3q here we go

we take the lead here and no looking back

I don't know about you , but I'd rather

look back to see who’s getting ready to stab me….

walk in front of me and you'll be fine
As much as I hate the Heat

their Away Jerseys are, for lack of a better word.. Hot

You truly lacked a better word
LETS GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

lol @ hastings interviewing hunt

“what sorry i got losed in your eyes.”

gallo flat out balls
Pretty shot by AAA
AAA soft touch for the lead!
Great defense from Kosta

got him to travel

MOZZY!

He’s outplaying K2 so far

they had to cool off sooner or later
Put the pedal to the metal fellas
We got the lead!
I like reading this play-by-play item:

“Andray Blatche traveling”

MOAR!

Gallo penetrates smoothly!
Intentionally teeing this up for a TWSS?

“That’s what she said!”

I am insinuating nothing!
Gallo flat out abuses the Wiz
Wiz getting smacked around by Gallo
Law of averages....

I predict a LOT of 3pt misses by WAS the rest of the way

OR

we will make them all and go 0-25 from downtown next game.

You’re move, Potter.

dammit gallo

thats just unfair

very quick timeout there

Coach must not have a lot of faith that these guys can push through.

yeah these guys are no gallo
its flip saunders

dude looks more dead than alive

gotta understand

he coached marbury and the Wiz

youre talking about a guy who benched his player for a windmill dunk
Bad sequence there
Trey Lawsome!!!!
More like it Ty
Hey, guys

Lawson can shoot the 3

We need Defense!
Gallo should shoot that
Dammit Young is back
Young can't miss tonight
I love Moz,

but it seems like he always rolls before he ever sets the screen. Put a body on them big man!

man youve got to hand it to ty

he’s been blocked 3 times yet still has the confidence to shoot

young still on fire
Nick Young wouldn't miss water if he fell off a boat
What? Is the boat on rocks?
NIck Young

staright ballin

Nick Young is restless
man, i missed the entire first half
I wouldn't say you "missed" it.
does nick young hate denver?
young no obey law of averages
John Wall statline so far:

9 pts, 7 assists, 7 rebs, 2 blocks, 1 steal (and 3 turnovers)

He’s all over the place. Though those blocks… (shakes head at Lawson)

gallo with the penetration
bull wall wasn't there yet
ZOMG! Preview of the Association on NBA TV
It's gonna be good!!!!! So excite
Iffy call on the charge there
Cmon AAA

don’t float the ball to Gallo

no contact on that O foul
Two offensive fouls in a row :p
Blocking Foul

that was a flop

OH MAN!

was that a flop!

My respect for Wall

Is turning into the feelings I initially reacted to Chris Paul when he started to flop.

Now that's the Nick Young we know and love
Young reminds me of JR a little..
Finally AAA attacks with some fury
so one of the downsides of the bugs playing the wizzzz is that there are like no online game streams
firstrow

it is your friend.

88 80 11 29

google is your friend

nvm just searh atdhe
Lets get some daylight here

NOt another nail biter

AAA's shot looks flat tonight

AAA’s shot looks flat tonight

He needs a good Breakout game to get some confidence rolling
YOung with the wicked JR impression
AAA been struggling at the line this season.
Ugh... missed FTs are so aggravating

Especially from a guy like Afflalo.

Made FT’s kept the Jazz in their game last night far longer than necessary.

What a move, Al!!!
Buckets is crafty
Harrington is strong

I mean, his biceps are huge.

I know!
I always thought his arms were flab

but learning that he does mixed martial arts and boxing, my mind has changed on that assumption.

Hard foul there
6th man to big AL this year
hell to the yea
now that

is a block

Gotta make your ft's!
Love the running!
The defense

is satisfactory

Wiz only scored 8 points this Q
we're starting to pull away
let the Washington meltdown begin
This!
I prefer we just light them afire
about eff'n time!
The trick is *continuing* to pull away
Singleton 5-8, Young 9-15, Crawford 3-6

Why exactly hasn’t Brewer played a single second?

basketball reasons
I've been asking myself the same question
Lakers with a 10 pt first half...

wow…really

no way

that can’t be real

it's not I fail at fractions tonight.
evidently something drove me to drink more than I should have in the 1st QUARTER of our game hehe
lakeshow suck this year
Toronto is proud
*quarter
yeah quarter...sorry
They've been emptied after last night

Which is dumb, because once Miami started surging, Mike Brown needed to call it in and play the backups from then on out.

Big Al... so refreshing

Just been Huge this year

Now that's a good foul by Moz

not those prissy blocking fouls

+1

love seeing that from the big guy

Now Al that was not smart
Ty got a foul call going to the hoop!
anyone else

see that great pass by gallo?

Lawson caught up with Wall on that defensive position

I think they are equal in speed, but Lawson is quicker off his feet, which is more important in Basketball.

Al is on FIYAH!!!
Al, you had me at "3"
Buckets!!
Woo hooo! AL!!!!
So Glad Birdman's back in (cough cough)
yeah who else would flub an easy layup for us?
Finish god damn you Bird!
Can he finish when he's getting hit in the face?
it's his job! :p
Well sometimes you know, getting your face smashed

and poked in the eye….does disrupt your ability to finish…that’s all I"m saying

all getting smashed in your face does is

to concuss your brain and divert your eyes

When does Bird use his eyes or brain on layups. HUh? I’m waiting. Still waiting…

That's just mean
is there something wrong with brewer, or karl just not playing him?
just not playing him, afaik
Probably the latter.
He probably did well last game, so karl is benching him
Gah.

Turnovers.

Look it was a race between Ty and Wall!

And it was a tie!!!

Sheesh Bird was whacked in the face
1 second too late for me
there's no reason for al to pass out when he has a clear lane to the basket
thats the effect of having a good shot blocker
right in the face!

ouch

Your face Goddammit!
That looked painful
Wiz scored on their last 3 possessions
that shouldve been an and one... theres just no lift.. flightless bird man
more like an ostrich now than an eagle
an ostrich can still jump and run
Can an emu?
Negative.
I prefer to can salmon
Hahahahah nice
If that was Faried

it wouldn’t of been a hit in the face, because Faried would have his ball sack in McGee’s face.

gallo shooting 75%

and still they only let him shoot the ball 8 times in 3 quarters. This is complete bullshit and I’m tired of it. give him the motherfucking ball

I don't think it's a matter of "let," per se

He looks to pass off a lot

also he was fouled twice

and has 4 dimes. It’s not like the offense is really struggling tonight.

Lakers have 11 pts

early 2nd Q

John Wall nearing triple-double

And in all likelihood will get it.

Birdman should now be referred to as..

The Birdman of Alcatraz. He has the ability but just can’t fly!

Stats

Hey stiffs sorta off topic but the wiz commentator talking about al bench production a min ago anyone know some really good stat web pages?

hoopdata

82games.com
basketball-reference.com

?

Oh Cripes

2 missed FTs and more missed shots. C’mon, man.

Oh ooy more missed FTs
Im just going to say it

So far, Al is our MVP

Ty is ballin tonight also
George Karl already beat you to it
seriously, there is no possible way manimal is worse than bird
+10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
I think you dropped a 0
Corey uncaged

bout time

Tenacious B!!!
BREEWWWWWW
missed his first free throw...
Excellent choice and timing
Somethin's a-brewin'!
Gah! Free throws, man!
does having your hands up as a defender prevent oops?
nah

thats crazy talk

im not being a jackass

thats kinda a serious question does it really help a lot? obvi you cant play d with your hands straight up but still?

Smell that fresh Miller Brew
Miller blows.

The beer, I mean. (cough)

I agree

but it is fitting! You can’t be picky with nicknames here.

But I'd rather the combo reference something, you know, good
Better than sewer's light.
Nothing is worse than Old English 500

I never trust a 40 with a clear bottle.

It also taste like piss, sugar and rubbing alcohol while I’m at it.

Terribad possession there
Crap possession is crap
Really TY? Airball?
up against the clock, falling away, etc
he was pretty far behind the 3 point line
Miller with the takedown
had a foul to give
Random comment:

I want to rub Dre’s newly shorn head…

you know, for luck and all.
you can always rub bird's hair with grease

you know for aerodynamics

Pretty solid Q

at least on D. Let’s finish them off

Strong quarter, nonetheless.

Finish it, Nuggs.

you know who they should give the ball to in the 4th quarter?

Danilo Gallinari

Wiz are better than their record

More like a .500 team with alot of youth, length, and, athletes. If they ever learn defense and playing together they’ll be good. We need to play focused D and take this road win!
Great teams get tough road wins.

this isn't how they've played all season

the rest of their games reflect their record

Yeah but the just beat Okc

They are improving

Also good point

Our D is allowing way too many points to an otherwise pretty poor team.

well yeah

a lot of their sucking has to do with being super unfocused generally.

well said

they definitely have a ton of talent, and John Wall is for real

They're definitely not a .500 team

Not yet – in terms of relative quality, naturally, since they’re still 2-13 or whatever. But they are better than a cellar dweller. Yet their offensive efficiency and core just haven’t come together yet.

25-18 quarter the way of our Nugs.

Better defense or just the Wizards realizing their the Wizards?

law of averages....
Yep.
Andre keep silent
Missed it...what was the tech for?
crap start to the quarter
Ugh... not good at all
Heads in the game, Denver
what the fuck!!!!?????!!!

my stream just randomly changed to lakers magic

what the hell?

my stream just switched to the Lakers game?!?!??!

mine too. static and then andrew bynum's smiling, punchable face
Thank you Al!!!!
the hell why am I watching the lakers game?
wtf my stream just switched to the lakers getting their ass kicked
Al Harrington.
al is like give me a hug wall
AAA is getting absolutely no lift
I'm only looking at play by play so I can't tell but..,

Does Dre look disinterested again?

yup

pulling a disappearing act

aaa with his off balanced crap
Egads, Nuggs

Our B-squad is folding badly

stream working

http://www.sportlemon.tv/v-2/14/162/v-356251.html

Dude

don’t post the links here

ehhh get over it

all the normal sites don’t have any working ones

I'm bookmarked... gives me four sites now
Eh.....

it’s been discussed that SBnation doesn’t want links posted.
It’s like no one reads…..

Birdman still come through
Dear Nuggets.

REALLY??!!!!

if you want to be picky

its eventually our bench vs. their starters right now

everyone says our bench

is other teams’ starters

This game is entirely too close for having a day's rest

Road game or not.

Dear GK,

Please to be putting back in Ty, Moz and Gallo.

Thank you,
Nuggets fans

Good point guard match-up tonight

Ty Lawson: 9 Pts
7 Rebs, 6 Assists

John Wall: 13 Pts
9 Rebs, 9 Assists

Lawson has 19 points, sorry
Get the starters back in
Mack looks good.
until that shot :)
Good for us!
Ha... glad that all worked out
Cheers for AAA.... damn straight guy
That was a huge 4pt turnaround

If we win remember that play

Gallo!
Gallo 2 the rescue
I saw that block by mcgee coming at least 3 seconds before it happened
so did McGee :p
you have a good stream :p
smooth penetration by gallo
Okay, this is apparently a board meme that my recent participation is allowing me to pick up on
And a sick one...what's 'Gallo' mean in Italian?
are you really asking?
he can get to the hole
get Bird out of there
seriously, how is he still in??
Dont worry folks

Lakers may hit 30 by halftime, if they get hot

Did you know?
The Lakers are in Orlando, where their road roads continue

Courtesy of ESPN

that why theyre the sports leader
They over achieved and got to 31
lol

brewer is so skinny for a few seconds I could only see 4 nuggets on the court

He must have turned sideways to the camera
Have I missed something?

Why is Bird getting this much burn in a game where we need every point and every D stop we can get?

I’m not even asking why we’re having this much trouble against the worst team in the league…

Bird will never be the high-energy flyer he was 2-3 years ago

that ship has sailed and sank. He is now a dead ship.

it's the lack of Mohawk.
Bird pulled the chair, hahaha
mcgee is way too reckless
McGee is an athletic beast

Thank god he has no basketball I.q or post-moves to speak of.

Wow...terribad call
Bird does have 8 boards now, and 0 turnovers

He’s not what he used to be, but he can still be somewhat productive out there. But his minutes do need some donation to Mozgov / Koufos / Manimal.

I wonder what (not if) McGee's mom hollers at refs when he gets 5 fouls
WAT????? A charge? Wat???
yuck saunders is teaching them to

take charges flop

he moves into the defender

you can’t do that… fucking idiot refs.

Well, ****

Nick Young, making it rain yet again

Good thing they aren't in Washington state!
gallo draws fouls

like honey draws bees

I’m hungry guys

I suggest the chicken scallopini

delicious

So eat something
trust me I will
me too,

I’m getting food after the game

Why isn't there a T being called for arguing the call.
Buckets back in.

Expect rain.

Good God!!!! What craptacular reffing!!!
I'm getting nervous
refs are out of their minds

that’s a straight up flop

Damn..

How many offensive fouls is that?

none
nice
Glad you got that :D
What???? on Gallo??? What???
No, Nuggets, no...

This is not allowed.

wizards sticking around.
Sticking around? They're in the lead.
wow

these guys know how to flop

lol i think this is the most offensive fouls for the nugs all year
If you call them fouls. I would be unconvince they are legit
HIT THOSE F"ING FTs Bird

And I MEAN it!

Is Gallo playing the Point Forward

Circa Scotty Pippen

hes great at it

quite frankly I think the nuggets should employ this tactic more often

Bird you have to finish those with your shitty ft shooting
But but...yeah I got nuthin'
Bird free throws?

closes eyes

Bird is like

80% this season at FT

I was thinkin'
Bird hits both--watch
you just jynxed it
You just anti-jinxed it
Grrreat avatar
Why? Why would you do this?
Thats on me, my bad
Now let's play some defense
Hey he made one
There's one! whew
Offensive foul!!!

bad calls both ways I guess

Yeah!
Afflalo in, Birdman out
"How you like me now?"

Al

Totally different Player

Wark's Revenge indeed!
Ha!
Don't let up fellas!!!!!
THAT WAS A PASS.
so theyre taking turns scoring above 20

brewer, Dre, Al

Mozgovs turn next.
Some folks call me MVP some folks call me sixth man of the year,

but you can call me Al.

some call me Mr Tibbs!
Just don't call me late for dinner....

wait that was last year. My bad.

Ty leads us in Rebs
Great assist AL...ahem
great assist Al!

doing it all

That was a pass!!

Said Big Al

Another John Wall block on Lawson??
Ty

most blocked guy in the NBA

eh. most of his shots are blocked driving to the basket
Come on AAA! Seal the deal!
Ugh. Misses the first.
But makes the second!
That was a foul on Wall

at least Al made him pay

Yes there's one!!
If Ty ever starts getting the calls when he goes to the hole,

he’ll be unguardable

Dammit, AAA, you _knew_ you were getting fouled!

Why didn’t you run away from the contact better?

woooooo im up to 50 followers!!!
I know you are a teen

but ya gotta stop thinking amount of twitter followers says anything about you. Now if you get to a 100 though…

Come on AAA.

Finish this so I can eat happily

yeah, that really is my issue too
DEFENSE. DEFENSE. DEFENSE!!!
Get Gallo the ball

he’ll make both, OK?

How many turnovers did the Nuggets have in the 4th?

8? 9?

according to Washington's play by play guy

the Lizards are down by 4

Please call the charge the same at both ends
That's a freaking charge!!!!!
yes...yes it was
What block?
By block you mean charge...
wiz with the pity call
Wasn't a charge

sorry, even Hastings admitted it

Please give Gallo the ball.
Who can make 2 FTs? Gallo? Lawson?

We need a money charity stripe dude.

gallo

don’t be a dofous

I confess, I haven't been paying attention to who's been money from the line

I assumed Gallo, but let doubt creep in.

just playing it up a little

ya dofous

I prefer the "doofus" method of spelling
get it to Gallo or Miller
There have been a lot of awful charge calls this year

Refs need to go back to school on that call

PLEASE INBOUND WITHOUT MESSING UP
And that's why the Wizards are the worst in the league.
BUCKETSSS!!!!!!
That'll work better than getting fouled...
NO 3s! Please!
Great call George!

(because it’s always his fault when the play isn’t perfect)

wait...

did we just draw up a play?

what did Al do?
better than two free throws
that was a set play by GK
Where amazing happens
wait...that was last year too...damn time warps got me again.
hahaha

he couldn’t believe how open he was

3-0 on the road trip .. we will take it...
george karl designed a hell of an inbound play
They couldn't SEE BIG Al... HAHA
NUGGETS WIN!!!
We win

knicks down 12

LA broke 30 for half

Great day all around!
MISSION: 5-0 Intact!!!!!!

3-0 baby 3-0!!!!

MVP??

Buckets

Looking like Two Grind it out Road wins in a row

We haven’t had many close games.
Grinding out wins is awesome habit for Nuggets

by the skin of our teeth

We got the W!

Ill take close wins on the road...

I won’t enjoy them but Ill take em.

agreed

Even if it’s dirty
And not too purdy
We’ll take a win on the roooooaaad!

Don't worry Wizard fans

the Ravens will kick the Patriots ass.

Eh

DC has is own football team ya know

The Redskins haven't been a team this century
not a good game by the nugs

but any road win is a good win

Gotta say, wed dont have a star

just a different one every game, so we got about 8 stars

and the Stars were out tonight
yes they were Take5

yes they were

gutsy win

I like the fight our guys have been showing

Onto New York we go!

Dun Dun Duuuunnnnn

Big Al

game ball

Nice win! Bring on the Knicks!
I'm glad the Knicks will be on the second of a b2b tomorrow, too

Hopefully Nene’s back.

he's expected to play tomorrow
Thinking that was the thinking
Ninja Turtle!!
Knicks Down 12 at home .. to the bucks. . what a night!!
bucks are 0-8 on the road btw

lets get D’antoni fired tomorrow.

hahaha

Nky fans will thank us

Its Amazing How Melo Destroys Team Chemistry...
I kinda miss the ole Quitters Anonymous Club...

LOL

It was QPU

and it was valid at that time. You just refuse to admit that you formed it yourself.

LOL

I am proud to say I started that club but never joined it. I think I was proved right. . but I would never gloat…

Taking out of context much?

It was about that game and that circumstance. Nice try though.

He didn't quit in that OKC game

And you were proved wrong because the Nuggets won that game.

tsk tsk. . some people will never admit they were wrong about Melo
Oh hey, look what I found

http://www.denverstiffs.com/2010/4/7/1408965/game-78-second-half-thread-nuggets

Right after you said Melo quit, he leads a comeback. And thus, QPU was born. If you’ll notice, he requested a trade way after that game.

WOW... real blast from the past
Gotta say it though

That was a really good game thread.

One of my finer moments at Denver Stiffs . .I was at the game and Melo was not hurt

Even his own teammates kept playing. . stepping over the lifeless Melo

I did love the win though. . the OKC fans were sooo Sad. .. ha ha!
I cannot believe you are really still saying this after all this time....

/smh

Quote from SDcat09 during the Melo Quite Game

“Why isn’t Melo getting up? What the F&$^? What a bunch of Bull(*&(!” LOL

You seriously struggle with context
No he chooses the things that support his viewpoint
And you don't even know why I said that did you?
I'm just kidding SD. . you are a great Nuggets fan. . no disrespect to you
Let's just move on
If you completely ignore context maybe

except you said Melo quit when he had a head injury, which is just BS no matter what Melo did after that

He had know head injury. . his head wasnt' touched. .he was pouting because he didnt get a call. .
If he was knocked out cold, he would not have returned to the game. .that is called a concussion..
That was a glorious win over the Thunder

That was almost 2 years ago…

/My how time passes

It was a glorious glorious game.
As Melo lay on the floor.. visions of MSG floated in his head..lol
Now you are just being silly
This might be over-stating it, but he's certainly way more of a chucker this year.

And D’Antoni’s “no defense” philosophy is sinking that team, along with the lack of depth and legit PG (which they also gave up in amnestying Chauncey to acquire Tyson Chandler).

And he wasn't a chucker with us??

Remember the whole stand around and watch Melo play offense??

Melo's actually been good this year

he’s scoring efficiently so I don’t think the “chucker” label applies. It’s their guard play that is putrid.

I will say, if it wasnt for Melo we wouldnt have Mozzie, Gallo, Dre, KK and IL Will

I compare it to the Herchel Walker trade…

yeah

they overpaid for sure. Also, as much as Billups was a great guy, Ty EXPLODED when he got the starting job.

WOW did they overpay

They could have waited until the lockout was over and signed Melo without giving up any of their young guys. . amazing. . maybe one of the worst trades in history when you really look at this way

yeah

Hollinger compared it to the Herschel Walker trade… one of the rare times you win the trade despite losing the best player.

If Gallo keeps developing his all-around game,

Melo might not be the best player in the trade too much longer.

Like tonight. He had a nice, "quiet" 21pt game.

On 7-11 shooting. Add in 4 rebounds and 5 assists and that’s a line I would love to see every night

well sure

but the saying really only applies to the best player at the time I think. Gallo is a super intriguing guy with a lot of upside that he looks to be tapping this year.

winning record on the road trip guaranteed with two more that are definitely winnable.
Wiz played pretty damn good today

win on the road always welcome

damn, we barely escaped with the w.

Didnt watch the game today. Did we look tired out there or what?

Washington came out on fire
Technically it was Nick Young

was on pace for 64 points after the first quarter, he took 11 shot attempts in the first quarter. Thankfully Flip Saunders didn’t let him play that much and only had 6 shot attempts throughout the game.

Seems like a GK move.

Bench the guy who has the hot hand.

ahaha... awesome
losing to the Knicks is no longer a big deal

losing this game would have been WAAAAAAY worse

untrue

those bastards traded away The Greatest Athlete In The History of Professional Sports, Danilo Gallinari. they must pay

Question for you

Are you a converted Nuggets fan, or a Knicks fan still, or just a Gallo fan? Some “Stiffs” jumped ship when Melo was traded to New York, we call them Melo fans more than individual team fans.

hold on this will take a while....
who jumped ship for melo?
this seems pretty obvious though I hope it will change over time.

In 2007 I visited my cousins in Italy and they told me to check out Gallo. I soon began watching his Euroleague games on a prehistoric relative of atdhe.me and became a huge fan. Coincidentally in 2008, he was drafted by my favorite nba team (the Knicks) and over the course of his tenure with the Knicks through watching live games, tivo, and stufava’s youtube channel, I saw about 99% of the minutes he played. When I found out he was traded for a selfish fattass (melo) I grew to hate the Knicks and jumped ship with Gallo. Although I am a Gallo fan first and a Nuggets fan second, I must say you guys have a very impressive franchise which is extremely fun to root for. you stiffs aren’t too bad either…

those bastards traded away The Greatest Athlete In The History of Professional Sports, Danilo Gallinaritimofey mozgov. they must pay

losing to a below .500 team is always bad though
2nd straight 108-104 road win

Meaningless trivia. Though we should’ve won tonight by more, it’s nonetheless good it ended with a “W.”

I consider this a GREAT win

THis was easily a “trap” game.. .playing the lowly wizards with the Knicks game tomorrow. Nuggs played hard and fought through. SHould have a well-rested Nene tomorrow.

True enough

The disappointing part was that it was close. But the big encouragement is that Denver battled in another close game and emerged victorious. Guys are stepping up, be it Miller one game, Harrington the next…

This is what we want now

Since Portland just won. Forget that game.
We want the Magic to beat the Lakers.
We want the Kings to beat the Spurs.
And We want the T-Wolves to beat the Clips.
If the T wolves and Kings win then we move to second in the west. SECOND!:)

Big "ifs"
kings up 44-40. :)
lols no way
not even joking ;)

IN SAN ANTONIO 46-42 now!

probably should have won by more

but when the worst 3p% team in the league shoots 43% on 25 attempts, you just have to survive.

Knicks lack Depth
I wonder why that is...
can you say "Balkman?"
Missing his quiet stony presence
Almost like they traded 4 guys last year
Don't be crazy what nutbag would do that.
I hope it's a blowout tomorrow(obiously in our favor)

and we can see Manimal vs Balkman

Wall misses his triple-double by 1 rebound

Sad panda.

I just want to point out...again.

MISSION: 5-0 …..intact!

Just b/c I predicted 1-4 is no reason to gloat.
Not gloating...just happy about it!
Don't Worry... Be Happy
Wrong

WAY TO BE WAY WRONG GUY

Actually just great reverse luck

Could I have been off by one?

no we're going for that 5-0 mark
You should predict that we're not going to win another game all season.

Seems to help.

On my iPhone while the wife is in the restroom

GOOOOOO NUGGETS!!!!! John Wall is an athletic freak, good thing he’s in the Eastern Conference

isn't this breaking the "rules" of date nite?
Gotta pass the time some how...

lol Can’t wait for tomorrow night!

It's like that commercial

“Did you just check the game on your phone?”
“No..No..What am I some kind of wizard who can just summon games to his phone”
LOL:)

Wall misses his triple-double by 1 rebound

(Thought I posted this once, but the comment mysteriously disappeared)

You know George Karl is looking forward to tomorrow

He’s gonna be on his top game

yup

he and melo really, really dislike each other, although it never quite boiled over.

Jeez, it's amazing how quickly Big Al has turned my opinion of him around.

Last year: “Why is Al Harrington still on the floor?”

This year: “Where the hell is Buckets? We need him on the floor!”

Big props to the guy not only for powering the team to a win tonight, but for playing his ass off and justifying his contract.

(Now if only Faried could get some of Bird’s minutes)

83-69 bucks in MSG lol
youch! pretty bleak game for us stat-wise...

BUCKETS saved our bacon.
Dunno how Dre sniffs a triple double one game to going scoreless the next…

I think we could’ve benefitted from a completely healthy Rudy in this one. Heal up Rudy! Only 6 minutes for Pookie?

I was surprised that Rudy never got back on the floor.

He played quite well in those 6 minutes, even with a sore Achilles.

Hopefully he’s well enough to run the court more tomorrow; I think our guards are going to absolutely shred the Knicks’ backcourt.

That seemed to always be the plan

played it with precaution

Achilles is really tricky

It takes a long time to heal

Nagging injuries are the worst.

Afflalo’s hammy doomed us in the playoffs last year.

Hopefully Nene and Rudy fully recover from theirs, as opposed to trying to rush back.

bucks pouring it on now
ty lawson all star stat line

21 points 9 rebounds 6 assists

Great match-up with Wall. Two Fantastic Young PG's
Pity the PG All-Star field is so crowded.

You can automatically write down Paul and Westbrook for two spots, and Nash will almost certainly go. Is there any room for Ty?

from last year's guards

Manu and Deron are gone, Nash needs a spot. The last guard spot goes to Ty or Lowry.

CANT WAIT FOR TOMORROW NIGHT OMG OMG OMG OMG
Who's to be the MVP

Melo or Big Al?

I belive the question should be Melo or next man up...GO TEAM!
Birdman?

Nah… Really?

If he is, I'll take it with a smile.

If not, it will be someone else.

meanwhile

chicago beating cleveland by 41.

Without D-Rose, too.

Man, the Cavs suck.

or chicago is really good
That too.

But I don’t think they’re good enough to blow average teams out of the water without their best player.

cleveland is about below average

Memphis beat the crap out of Chicago too…

remember when we beat the hornets by like 50 in a playoff game?

good times.

Young team ... very UP and Down
Boston is terribad
knicks don't scare me

or gallo

lol the announcers just said the nuggets are a surprise team in the west they might give the knicks trouble tomorrow night
the knicks announcers
We might just have a chance.

The Knicks are a powerhouse, though.

yea idk theyve been tearin up opponents lately
Melo whining
Going straight at Jennings
And ejected for 2 ts
he can't point to his performance in the game as a reason they lost

If he’s not in the game!

MELO TOSSED. . SUSPENDING FOR TOMORROW NIGHT'S GAME

HE QUIT AGAIN!!

i dont want melo to be suspended they might actually do better
Yeah, their best games last year

were when Amar’e was the go-to guy every single time down the court.

...He's suspended for tomorrow?

I thought you needed more T’s than that.

I think you do but I'm not sure
Sometimes I feel like

when D12 goes back to the basket, he doesn’t even look before throwing up a shot.

The Lakers are trying to have Josh McRoberts guard him.

I don’t think Dwight even needs to look.

whatever he does it generally seems to work pretty well

looking at his TS%

A loss to NY almost seems worse than a loss to Wsh right now
knicks announcers:

“The knicks bottoming out, again”

Anthony is a biotch
I think the Napa Know How commercials are my least favorite on TV.
those are my favorite....
just in time to watch the lakers lose
The Clippers on ESPN again? Against Minny? YAWN
Blake, CP3, DeAndre, Rubio, D-Will, K-Love.

I’ll take it.

I was gonna say.

Both of those teams have been really fun to watch so far this season.

I've seen the Clippers too many times though

actually you are right, better than against Dallas, but way too much Clipper love before they have done ANYTHING

Lots of upside in minnesota though. Rubio could become really fantastic.
It's going to be better than Pacers vs Warriors
so can someone please explain to me....

why dwight howard wants to leave orlando???

cuz its orlando...

those who have been there know

He sees how well NY is doing and....
ahahahahahah!!!!
Cause he's lonely. No superstars with him.
Same reason Melo wanted out.

Superstars want big markets.

Because evidently contending while having a low tax burden sucks.
Every time I watch Dwight Howard play,

I can’t help but think about how dominant he would make this team.

A Howard-Nene-Gallo frontcourt? Holy moly.

bad idea

he would take too many shots away from gallo unless you could convince him to ignore offense and become mutombo 2.0

I don't think Dwight Howard on this team would be a "bad" idea,

considering a dominant inside presence is the big thing missing from this team right now.

I don't think Dwight Howard on any team would be a bad idea
you can't be serious
Sorry

but no way is getting Dwight Howard a bad idea IF he would not have his head so far up his superstar ass and would actually re-sign here. But he does have his head WAY up his superstar ass.

I would like to see some team put together a total "win now" package

for Howard, and not worry about re-signing him. But with them playing so well this year I’m not sure he could be had at a reasonable price.

i want melo back
I guess he could back up Gallo if Brewer needs a rest.
birdman for melo

make it happen massai

Jesus, Kobe, shut the fuck up.
I'm sure he's pretty cranky after his ex wife

got half.

Shouldn't have put a ring on it
i believe orlando is shutting kobe up
no way kobe doesnt get technicals
that was like 5 steps lol
hes kobe bryant hes allowed to take as many steps as he wants
time for kobe to start heaving

this game’s over

yep time for a more interesting game in clips/wolves
id rather see the bucks vs the wizards
back to the 2 seed

http://espn.go.com/nba/standings/_/group/2

sacto beating spurs

that would help

Best point differential too
too bad it's only good enough for a 4 seed

Nuggets can do better…GO TEAM!

huh?
I belive the 3 division winners get the top 3 seeds

even if we finish 2nd in the conference, if we finish behind OKC the best we can do is the 4 seed in the playoffs..i could be wrong though (my normal disclaimer)

believe*
no that's not true division winners get tie breakers in tie situations nothing else
Cool...even better!

glad I hedged my bet :)

isn't it that division winners can't get lower than 4th seed?
Yes. I made an error.

Hard to believe I know hehe

So even if we finish behid OKC if we have the 2nd best record we get the 2 seed
The Knicks lost their Anchor when they Dumped Mr. Chaucey Billups

Now they are adrift
No Chris Paul, No Chauncey
Those guys play for….The Clippers?!?!?!

That's Chauncey!
damnit. spurs took the lead 74-73
