Not much to say here. Nuggets started out slow, played slightly better in the second quarter. Nuggets down 60-43 at halftime

First!
nope
Yes!

you will bow to my superior firsting ability…which looks strangely like fisting ability…

Last!
Also

whats the deal with the Knicks logo on Moz’s phone?

stone and hamilton need to start the 3rd and i kno it wont happen but it should
I coached basketball for 22 years I know this you can't win if you cant

shoot and have no toughness. Right now the Nugs have neither

Thats awesome

I want to coach so bad, but unfortunately I just cant seem to find a way to get my foot in the door

Its easy! step 1: find a door step 2: put your foot in it
Where do you live what level do you want to coach?
Denver

just the youth recreation level right now. I would like to build up my coaching experience in an environment where winning isn’t the only thing that matters.

well good luck with that considering winning is the only thing that matters
At some levels yes

but I think sports helps create values like leadership, confidence, companioship, toughness etc etc. Those things are just as valuable as winning for kids

I could help you get started..

shoot me an email… kburghart@farmersagent.com

Awesome

I will do that!

lol how about this line up

stone, hamilton, manimal. k2, mozy

+1

Can’t hurt at this point can it.

tell that line up wouldnt play D and wouldnt play hard
Orlando coming with a 4th quarter comeback

they were down like 9 and now up by a few in about 4 min

are we trying get into the draft by losing now?

Not kidding

When Kmart left he took the Nuggets' toughness

when Gallo was injured he took the Nuggets’ heart

And when Shakira got a new boyfriend

she took my heart!!!!!!!

And took Pique's abilities

I wish she would dump him and take you

Thank you man

there is a reason I love you all on here

I thought corey brewer would bring back some emotion and heart.. i was wrong
yeah Jeff, seeing KMart on Clips

he still plays at high level and is still so darn athletic and tough as a Hummer

But, really, when you look at it, Nene and Moz are important but both have been often absent or erratic for this season. The key loss, bigger than I thought is gallo.

His absence has systemic effects that stats dont pick up on.

And when nene got injured

well, we gained a player in the 4th.

hey good note we dont have 20 3 point shots
So, looks like I missed a great first half
oh it was pretty...

pretty freakin ugly

Great if you are into drinking games
oldcoach said it best.

if you can’t shoot the rock you can’t win. They are getting hard to watch. Manamal is beasting though!

Lawson gets his shot blocked...again
I feel Karl is really trying to find anything tonight

but the players aren’t giving him many options

i agree, time to go deeper into that bench

Jham, stone… somebody has to have energy

yes maybe we will see stone hamilton manimal k2 mozy

cross fingers

Thats far too much height for a geroge karl lineup
why am I even watching this
lack of better stimulation?
cuz you like pain? like the rest of us
We are Nuggets fans.

It kind of goes without saying.

Ty sometimes tries to lay up

even when it’s clearly impossible….dumb plays

hmm just turned the game on

now i’m thinking I may regret that decision

Turn it off

and RUN

Depends on what you want to get out of watching
I know

We all take a drink everytime GK does a facepalm!

Why is george calling a timeout?

We’re only down 21?

trying to save his job
This is like watching a train wreck as it happens in slow motion
The team is pressing, they are DS like panicking

they aren’t quitting, they haven’t stopped listening to any of the coaches, they are just completely down on confidence. It’s a real bad streak, just have to hope with the two best players plus Chandler coming back that there will be a major spark. This team looked great through 19 games, I have faith that team will come back.

on a 2nd good note the refs havnt been that bad
Man this is the best!
wooooooooooooooooooooooo
i think

its officially time to hit the panic button!!!

Enough

Sit Lawson and play Stone

Hey! We made an open shot!!
Whatever anyone does

DO NOT LOOK AT THE +/-

I died a little when I did

yes the brew master
Brewer-one man comeback...
brew master again
Brewah!!!!! x3!!!!
Brewing em home
Go GO GO

GO GO GOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Coreyyyyyyyyyyyyy

WTF?we

made 2 three pointers in a row? What the hell happened?

3 in a row actually.. first all year
Corey Brewer happened
God I love Moz

Rudy Gay drives straight to the lane and then says "Oh crap, there’s a giant russian in the way

WOW! lol

SOMEONE came to play !

lol no kiddin

Brewer getting hot. Quick George, get him out!

oops i ment lol no kiddin
LETS GO BREWER!

I knew all this time today “brewing it” would pay off

Now play HARD

Foul HARD and play with PASSION

Signs of life?

I can’t believe it

I am not buying into it yet

They are toying with our emotions

Harrington gets outworked...surprise?
Outworked by the ball

looks like Clankington is returning

al should have be a sg
That should be a flagrant foul
ehh on replay it wasnt so bad
Wasn't a flagrant
Gasol set an illegal screen there, but not called
Getting blurry
Nice Ty

this is what you need to do…

Moz just tweaked his ankle again
turning up the D
Brewah!!!!! x4!!!!
good hard foul Moz!
thats right i hate when coaches come off the bench and yell at a player when takin a 3

in yo face

GOOD FOUL

Mozzy!!!

Wow

Brewer is playing with passion

maybe it'll be contagious
until Dre walks into the game
Karl fired in t minus 5 games
did anyone else see brew master tell that coach to stfu and sit down
Love the effort from Mozzy.

Hopefully the ankle is all right

is Kouf hurt?

why is bird getting his minutes?

Tow words

GEORGE KARL

Karl is a tow truck?
no

Tow trucks have uses

Karl is good at

Holding his chair in place on the bench.

He was better at it before he lost all that weight.
Where the FUCK is Kouf??
Our PnR defense still sucks
Wow...

If we keep playing like this we might have a chance at drafting Brittney Griner!

Oh shoot I thought I was looking at a WNBA team

But apparently the Nuggets are in the NBA. Someone better tell them though…

meh

Danielle Adams owned her last year in the tourney

The real question tonight is...

With his recent release, should the Nuggets make a run at the newly available Renaldo Balkman?

haha

You are funny. KArl would throw him back into the doghouse

sigh mozy goes out and we are the shitty no D team
Where the FUCK is Kouf??
Moz really does help the D so much
third quarter isn't sucking so far

four threes by brewer and lawson just tearing it up

Good D big al
Fucking block out!
done with this game
fucking bird

JUMP you idiot

looked like over the back to me
Bye bye Moz

Bye bye hope

bird bird bird

kills momentum, put in kufous

got within 11 and then got our ass kicked

When Dre entered the came

Miller’s definition of a fast break: Hail Mary pass into the seats.

Is there anyone on this team that can play fundamental basketball?

Like box out, set screens, rotate, etc.?

is this a trick question?
box... out?

I’m not sure I understand what this is…

dont people

normally put things into boxes?

hey guys, remember when manimal was the only guy that showed up in the 1st half?
why did miller come in for AAA
I think I'm watching

Corey Brewer vs. Memphis Grizzlies

until he gets pulled
Once again

a good close to this quarter and this could be in single digits

Wow...really terribad call there
At least the HD channel is working...
wow thats shit
Wow apparently flailing is shooting now
Euroball has tainted our beloved basketball forever
gallo does it too
yes he does.

I still don’t like it

Fuck this shit, Dude.

Let’s go bowling

I would be down

but i am 6,000 miles south of you

bird should not be playing the size bothered gasol k2 should be in since mozy is hurt
Bird is on the block so wear him out.

This game is over anyway.

We aren't using Euroball officials though
We have lost 6 or 8

Will this turn around?

So because there is nothing better to do

What did everyone have for dinner?

fried chicken and potato salad
My Wife really wanted Rubio's for Dinner

That place is a shit hole, Taco Bell is sooooooooooo much better

I'm a Jalapeno's man
What is this "Jalapeno's"?
Dirty rice

It was tasty.

beer

the nuggets made me do it

I dont remember dinner

all i have had is beer that i remember

No dinner yet

But I live in California

in yo eye bitch
Woah Brewing shots
miller stop dicking around with the ball
Marc Gasol has studied with Ginobli, obviously
birdman getting shit on by the refs
Sit Miller

And Bird!

Come on guys

We are still in this!

anybody got a good live stream 4 for the game
You may not want to watch this one

It may end up causing liver disease

I m watching but it's pausing every 5 seconds
again you have 6 fouls use them
Bad news guys

I am out of beer. At the break I have to walk to the corner store across the street and buy more

We get our shot blocked soooo often

I really don’t understand it

Nice D Rudy...just awesome...
Miller is the fucking worst
OT family come in town, can you recommend a seafood restaurant? TY...new to denver
If you are not worried about cost

Jax is very good

Ill check it out thanks!
Jax on 17th and wazee
...and the masses agree
peel and eat shrimp and

you can’t go wrong with shrimp and grits.

I'm drinking Gulden Draak Ale

out of Belguim

The Belgians make the best beer

but the beer in Belgium is 100 times better than what you can get here, which says quite a lot

I need to make a trip over the pond!
It's beer heaven
and the way that beer is spelled

it looks like the person drinking it is drunk typing. lol

Flemish/Dutch sounds like drunk German to me

all kinds of awesome

we might actually get in this game somehow
It's not fucking fair to Bird

to keep him on Gasol. Again, WHERE THE FUCK IS KOUF??

George Karl at his finest

Bird cannot guard Gasol, but keep KK on the bench anyways.

Hey, the lead is down to 10!
10 pt game?

WTF?

10 point game

that seems sort of miraculous

Feels like I'm at a strip club

Nuggets teasing me bad….

you got a boner?
Nuggboner.

Different animal altogether.

So you're saying

you’re a stiff?

Well

he technically is a Stiff

I'm definetely that after this run
i am already predicting this finish.. nuggets down by 6! suddenly down by 13 and lose

false hope

Wow....10 point game

Unbelievable

Somehow, someway

I’m still forced to not go out and watch this game to the end

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Mozzy TIME!

bird is trade bait and hes showing him off to get more i bet

law and brewer singlehandedly made it a game (sort of)

maybe the whole team can show up for a quarter? maybe?

lets go show some heart this quarter just like memphis did to us
only down by 10 lets not fuck it up karl
durant signing with CAA

gonna have another dwight situation soon?

How the fuck is that a foul on Faried???!?!?!
??????

I’m puzzled

wtf a foul on manimal?
Bird playing inspired

Faried getting fucked by refs

how are we in this game?
WORST CALL OF THE YEAR
funny

memphis announcers can’t figure out why KF has only played 10 games.

Manimal to Brew!!! Come on boys!
They keep fighting

Come on guys, lets galvinize and bring it home

WOW....down by six

pinch me!

punch or pinch?
Hey AoN

what are you looking to get for one of your phones?

I prefer a pinch
pinch of lime

with spiked punch

Who called that we'd get it down to 6?

I hope you’re wrong about what comes next.

I am enjoying the fact that our team hasn't quit tonight
Would be so great to steal this one...we need this,
6 points dont give up! LETS GO!
brewmaster is beastin tonight lets go

i love when i nugget gets pissed off and wont take shit any more

que music gogogooogogo

We can do this

(Insert hick-ish Bird voice here) It’s time to Dig In!

Grabbing a beer, anyone need one?
I'll take one...lol
Im good

bought bought 6 more 1 liter bottles. They literally cost like 75 cents each here. Cost effective to get drunk

Whatever happens

Bird, Manimal and Brew have given their all and then some

Bird has looked like crap half the game

Unless getting dominated by Gasol and falling down with the ball counts as a good thing.

Down to Six

Come on Nuggets!

BTW...that foul on faried was bs

I don’t know what the officials were looking at

number 13 is the lucky number tonight

go motherF*&%ing Brewer!!!

I have the Memphis feed`

the broadcasters REALLY like #35

LOL the guy on the radio said

“Birdman is playing out of his gourd!”

He’s done that in the past.

lets go come on!
brew what where you doing
Whyyyyyyyyy

Double team, why wy why

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NUGGETTTTTSSSSS
At least we're playing with energy again
Keep up this tempo!
Brewer has some very skinny legs......
Brewer has some very skinny legseverything……

fyp

miller, rootytoot and faried leading the team back from where affalo and the scrubs left us!!
shoved him down thats not a foul really??? wow
Great D!! Brew running all over the place
It's settled.

Brewer is my next Jersey purchase. Will there be a Miner jersey for him?

Most likely it will be a Raptors jersey
SET YOUR FUCKING FEET YOU DAMN SPANIARD!!!!!
wow brewer better only sit 2 mins
no rudy

package him with birdmanand get him out!

i love rudy's heart he just needs to take better shots
Manimal hook shot(?)!!
Faried hook shot????
Faried is a freak!
George Karl looks like the old guy from Disneys UP
Apparently Faried cant be fouled ever
WHAT?!??!!?

absolutely no foul there

Wait, that was a foul on the Nugs

but Faried wasn’t fouled last possession?

We only win this with defense...

And need to get a couple calls…

MANIMAL!!!!! x2!!!
Dre to Manimal!!!!
Gotta love that Dre, huh.
maybe not so much.
faried Laughing!
OOOOOOOOO I LOVE EM'
now that was a bad call but googogoogogogo nuggets
Bird scares me a lot
Rudy with the hard foul!
great fucking foul
That was a very poor pass, right there.
Oh, I see, knocked out

couldn’t tell live

Rudy plays some damn good D

nice hustle Bird

I don't hate that guy at all.

I hope he sticks around. I felt bad when the fans in portland boo’d him.

When Gallo/Chandler come back he'll get just the right amount of minutes

he’ll be helpful, needs to stop taking bad 3s though

STOP FUCKING CHUCKING LADRILLO!!!!!!!!!
I'm seriously loving the effort right now!!
Man these refs can suck some giant horse balls
i thought we did that earlier
It's the refs turn
Also, good news on Moz

Will return

I don't know about you guys

but I’m LOVING this Bird and Faried combo

I'm loving any combo that puts forth effort and passion
AKA Bird and Faried
Its working tonight for sure

Their energy is really helping us. Though Gasol does tend to beat them up down low a little

come on come on come on come on come on come on
great effort! great game faried! dont give up
Faried is becoming one of my Favs!!
The Bird & KF35 are hustling!
This is effort

Why can’t we play like this from the beginning without giving up a 20 points lead?
This is on coaching staff!!

happy about this game

because there is no doubt we have something in faried. no excuse for him not to be in the rotation now.

Anyone know if Brewer's "hang on the rim"

tech was negated? That was horseshit.

14 and 10 for Manimal

and he is possessed right now.

miller has gotten him the ball in great scoring position
ok brewer needs to come back in for ty or miller
But it's crunch time

so we need a small lineup. Amiright?

I need a KF jersey!
lets go 6 minutes to go have to keep this up!
no fuck retarded take out ty or miller ffs
C'mon Bird! Make your FT's
Brew in for Rudy

please make one Bird

steal this game like Memphis did to us
Good D

and nice lob. Crafty vet

Dre has came alive suddenly

redemption for him tonight

Is Bird playing so well cuz he might be traded
How the fuck was that not shooting???"?
This could be a turning point win, if we get it
CLOSE THAT FUCKIN GAP
come on come on come on come on
guts heart brains
Yes!

We can steal it!

see what happens when you play hard!
brew master!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BREW TIP FOR THE LEAD!!!!
leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!
48-30 since half time
Strip club slowly turning into a Whore house...
Japanese massage parlor please
wtf where is the foul
in the mind of the ref
total BS call

offensive!

That was no foul!!!
ref where good all game till 4th quater really wtf
WHAT IS GOING ON??????
and fucking 1
Faried is a beast
That's a bad call

But take it

Bird going Euro
Go Coo Coo Bird!!!!
lmao did you see bird smile before gasol hit him
Bird taking one for the team.

He’s fragile ya know.

What was Ty doing?
Making a terribad pass, obviously :p
proving hes not a starter
Seriously?

Who starts over him?

thats part of the problem also
theres no one on the team that should start over him but ty is not an nba starter in my book
Rondo
+1 and 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Memphis returns the gift

cmon boys you deserve this!

come on come on come on come on come on
FOOK ME THIS IS THE MOST EXCITED I'VE BEEN ABOUT A GAME IN A WHILE
since gallo went out for me
cant give up now, have gone too far just to quit... lets go
I don't like the nuggets right now

if they only knew how bipolar we all are with this team, they would feel bad for what they put us through

MOAR BEER!!!

Bipolar disappears

Nuggets should be on Lithium then!
need a bucket here this loss will hurt like hell for me
I can even accept a loss.

If it was a total blow out no. But them getting back in it from being down 23 I can live with a loss as long as they try. I’d rather a win though.

I believe! I believe!
if we win this it could trigger a huge run
oh shot bitch
Andre Fucking Miller
tebow tebow oh wait wrong team
brewer needs to get on gay
bail out much
This one is going to come down the the final shot
come on brewer

get tight on rudy

We win

When Memphis is the first team to 100 they win but they always lose when the other team hits 100 first.

this game had to get faried into regular rotation even after gallo gets back
nice game by Bounce
too nervous to watch
BREW SLAM HOLY FUCKING CHAOS!!!!!!
HOLY FUCK WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?!
Faried, Brewer and Dre decided to play out of their minds
this game is crazy
The refs have lost their fuckin' minds!
They all swallowed their whistles

doesn’t bother me at all.

That was an f-ing crazy sequence

where not gonna take it

where not gonna take it

Nuggets don't pull a CSU
ughhhh
that games sucked!!!

no NCAA for the Rams

whats this mean?
CSU lost to BSU as the time ran out
Nuggets repeated the Boise game....Urgh!!!!!
THIS IS FUCKING INSANITY
I cant take this

my heart is going to explode!!!

im going to fucking party even harder
Cmon lets have a good D stand!!!
come on brewer stop gay
Gasol was hanging on the rim off Dre's miss.
if this shit doesnt air on nba tv tomarrow im gonna shit bricks
Do not

DOUBLE TEAM

if i were in vegas

all my money woul be down on #13

Go nuggs!

big steal by miller
get in rudy's face

get in rudy’s face

ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
fuckin box out fuck me
pathetic this team is just pathetic on the boards im sick of it
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
FCUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fuck... that...

just, fuck it.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!
Faried, box that guy out!
Lob to Faried

or Lob to Brewer

that could win it

would be EPIC

the "little things" wins games... LIKE BOXING OUT
Not sure if to be proud of the comeback or demoralized of the way it ended
BOX THE FUCK OUT

Godfuckingdammit

Gasol is gonna just stand under the basket
restricted zone

do it and foul

Is it even possible to score in 0.2?

We’d have to literally just tip the ball, right?

Where is our rebounder when the game is in the balance
FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKK!!!
this game makes me sick
'Dre needed to get that to the rim at least
i cant beleive we lost because we cant box out... bad bad bad loss
well nice game by faried

too bad he blew it there

When did Faried blow it?

Off the inbound play?

He didn't box out his man so cunningham tipped it in.
he didn't box out Cunningham

who tipped in the winning bucket

Oh gotcha

I only saw the last 0.2 seconds when I thought the Nuggets were going to get blown out. Well the game sucked, but at least the Nuggets gave effort which is more than can be said the past 10 games it feels like when Gallo went down.

does gk even kno how to draw up plays?
lol we should have boxed out
Plays?

Isn’t that what they have in football?

What play, exactly,

are you expecting him to draw up with .2 seconds left? ’Dre should have gotten the ball to the rim.

iso manimal run him to the rim

dre throw the ball at the square manimal jump the fuck out the gym

That was the play,

I guarantee it. Memphis double teamed Faried, and ‘Dre didn’t get it to the rim

they should have ran the same play instead of runing one to bird
they tried,

again, Memphis doubled Faried – and Bird for that matter – and ‘Dre didn’t get the pass to the rim.

Oh stop

it’s a .00001% chance you score there.

I'm glad we put in a 7 footer at the end of the game.
That was my thought

no reason to not sub in for rebounding/defense. That is on Karl.

And just like that I go to bed now with Powder Blue balls...
one box out

one fucking box out and we win the goddamn game

Who was the guy who tipped in the Gay miss?
dante cunningham
thank you
dude had 4 pts the entire game.

The last two were the most important.

You don't like my response?

I’m hurt

cunningham, farieds guy
Some fucking stiff
FUCKING FUCK!

lol

Damnit

I really want to throw out a good humor, sarcastic joke about the anti-gay slur commercial from the NBA. Sadly, I believe it would be in poor taste

So which was worse, a blow out or this.

Blow out.

At least we showed some heart and grit tonight. Unlike against Dallas

this because we cant box out, just like the first game vs memphis
doesnt matter a loss is a loss either way im pissed
the blow out

what have we been saying all game against dallas and the first half of this one. At least fight, at least show some emotion. Im proud they fought for it tonight

Blowout

the team played great in the 2nd and that’s important right now. They will regain their swagger soon

They got Cajones!!

This is the worst fucking way to lose

Give me a blow out please. leave no doubt and let me shut it off early

They battled and almo

st won, they showed cajomes on this one.

nuggs

season is not lost, we knew feb was tough, they will get their mojo back and finish strong in march and april, i give faried credit, he lost his man on that play or gambled on wrong side of rebound…whatever he still kept us in the game…perhaps even better than nene would have…Hopefully Karl will start relying on his uber talented rookie more….

A tough February is one thing

It’s another thing when they can’t fucking beat anybody.

I'm amazed GK rewarded guys playing well down the stretch

actually left KF in over Harrington. Are we sure GK is ok?

Guys...for the negative knee-jerk nancy's

just telling you now…you may not enjoy my recap. In fact…it may be the most positive recap I’ve done all year

I got the force field up Jeff.

Faried and Brewer saved the game

Nene should take all the time he needs to get healthy… Having Mozgov back will help out a lot

Even with the last put back

Faried was a beast in this one. Hook shot and all.

Don't forget Dre

he had an amazing second half

After slamming the feeling out of my hand

I’m surprisngly not pissed at this. We just saw our future get brighter by seeing what Manimal can become. You can’t teach confidence and he has it, rookie mistake to think the game was over and the end you can teach. They may lose against OKC but one game won’t kill em at the end and they should take the confidence from this.

Mission 1: Get everyone back.

westbrook sprained his ankle tonight so
Did he trip over his ego?

Probably balled so hard his ankle hurtin.

ALERT:

Warning: PISSED OFF NUGGETS FAN ON THE LOOSE, HIDE YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY TO A SAFE LOCATION.

I'm pissed but nobody cares in San Diego...

Tough lost! Don’t do anything crazy!

we are now tied for 8th place in the west this is bad we can not play the 1 or 2 spot and think we will go deep int eh play offs

93.

Also NY was 8th during the last lockout.

Or Memphis, if you want to go with recent history
Gallo, Nene, Chandler will not all be missing come playoffs

and if they are then it’s hopeless anyway. And there’s like a 3 game difference between 8th and 4th. This will be by far the Nuggets worse stretch of the year

Do people think the Nuggets will win it all?

We are still very young and people forget that. The future is very bright is all I can say!!

I've been saying.

Whoever comes in hot usually wins through.

+100

this is not our year for it all, the 14-5 start had people overconfident. But Faried just showed our future may be even brighter than we think. But we will still have plenty to smile about this year, soon it’ll be much better!

This season

Anything could happen. But I’d be surprised if we win it all.

Remember 1998.

remember remember the 5th of november
I do

The West is a free for all really. I only fear OKC, but Denver still has just as good of a shot as anyone else in the west

This team showed form life

but until this team plays 4th quarters, I dont see them in the playoffs….Just my two cents!

If Dre was 10 years yonger

I swear he could’ve thrown that ball all the way to the rim

I don't know man.

Tebow is ten years younger than Dre and he couldn’t throw that ball to the rim.

He would’ve ran it on water.

This is better than a 20 point loss.

Any day.

agreed

This team today showed some fight, which I always welcome

I want chocolate and more beer
lol your girly side is showing with your manly side

Nothing girly about getting Chocolate Wasted.

I'm comfortable with my girly side...

it’s quite sexy

Who is excited for our higher draft pick?

Yah, baby!

ok all and all the nuggets play with heart in the 2nd half and thats all we can ask for as nugget fans right???
That gets us FAB MELO

Best game ever (sarcasm)!

NY loses to the Hornets.

Lin earth-returneth.

ESPN will ignore the loss to a terrible team and his poor shooting and mention he had 26

Magic kinda called him on that,

They also won't mention his 9 TOs
hes a turnover machine

He probably should open his eyes.

That's...just...not...right

People tell me that all time also.

People are stupid

Learned that long ago.

hahaha classic.. but messed up
45 in his last 7 games

That’s not too many, right?

How on Earth will Lin, Melo and JR work together?

they will run into each other looking for the ball

It's going to be awesome
It's gonna be great!

Melo said he’s gonna play more D.

He's been saying that since Oak Hill

Beat me to it.

Yeah but.

He really really means it this time.

He meant it too at Syracuse.

Not our problem anymore.

And you didn't even mention Amar'e!
Poor Chandler!

He’ll thrive off Grand Master Lin.

Don't forget they're still waiting for Baron Davis to come back too
It's all about Lin!
the only reason its a story really is cuz its NY

He may be legit, and Derrick Rose will never start an All-star game ever again.

i still say we get rondo or steve nash
yes lets trade our borderline all-star 3rd year pg for a guy with maybe 2 years left

are you having a laugh?

In the words of Rick James,

COCAINE’S A HELL OF A DRUG.

if i could i would have ty coming of the bench imo

to change up the pace but nash’s numbers are just as good as his mvp years ty is to small for me to be my starting pg and his D mostly because of his size is just plain bad

and yes nash's isnt much better but he doesnt stop is dribble way to early and he plays the pick and roll better than anyone in the nba which karl runs all game
he can also inbound a ball.
The only guy Lawson should be traded for

Would be the one whose last name rhymes with coward…and thats not happening

Getting Gallo, Nene, Chandler

is like making the Melo trade without giving up anything in return. Oh and Moz who is still gimpy. Grrr can this month end already!!

Gallo and Chandler

but Charmin the beat? Come On man!!!

I thought the Tebow thing was bad...Now Lin.

I think I know why I don’t watch ESPN anymore!

I was annoyed by Tebow hype as a Broncos fan

Lin hype is just brutal

Not fair on Lin

The dude is a good player. Tebow, not so much.

I agree with this

Lin is not perfect, but he’s actually a legit starting PG in the NBA.

But the question is

who does Jesus love more?

I guess its the Mavs
Damn you Cuban!!
He bought Jesus off.
So all this talk about how deep this team us

Quoting Barkley…Turrible!!!!

Kinda hard when our dept got the bug.

So all this talk about how deep this team us

So all this talk about how deep this team<strong us was

what?
I tried to do the S with a line app.

FAIL!!!

Oh, that makes sense
its hard without 3 starters
Uh,

Did you not just see Faried and Brewer bring us all the way back? Name a team who’s 8th and 11th man can put the team on their back. This loss showed us something, anything. We showed grit, locked down on D, and came back against the team that has had our number for a while.

I love Faried...without that guy we lose by 30
Actually when you lose 3 starters and still can go 9 deep

that’s pretty deep. But when you lose 3 starters you are always screwed

Not that you need reminding,

but depth is limited when you have 3 starters out

Depth means your #2 can replace your #1.

Am I wrong?

I would use "fill in"

rather than “replace.” The starting players are starters for a reason

Arguably the #2/3 is hurt

and #4 or 5 is in China. And no not really, depth means you have a lot of usable pieces but you still have a gap in ability. The Lakers could be 11 deep but if they lose Kobe they are fucked.

Important thing is that bird is showing he can still play
He goes to the Raptors
For who?
probably someone like rasual butler
Sup Stiffs!?
Hey cat

Hell of a game, even though we lost.

you missed a helluva comeback,

which ultimately fell short. I vote you drink a lot of beer like the rest of us

I'm sorry I missed it :(
by ultimately fell short

he means a memphis tip-in with .2 seconds left. couldn’t have been more brutal.

oh and manimal had a coming out party
And by coming out you mean?? :)
He was actually good offensively

Took his man to the hoop one-on-one, made a great little baby hook, and finished strong when he got the ball under the basket.

Nice! Good to hear!
9-15 shooting, 18 points.

Damn good to hear (or see, in my case)

She’s choco.

I'm not opposed to beer
im drunk
and have to go dancing later
you HAVE to? I mean

are the dancing police of Peru MAKING you go :)

gun to his head and everything
Make sure

Van Der Sloot isn’t anywhere near there. Watch your butthole.

I knew Nathalie flores

She actually was one of my friends. :(

Who is Natalie Flores?
The fact

that you don’t know Natalie Holloway’s name and claim that she was your friend is sketchy.

Wait what?? I didn't claim to know Natalie Holloway.....
Stefany Flores

shit my bad, too much to drink. I knew Stefany Flores, the girl who was killed here in peru by that douchebag.

They are scary people
No

but this girl is. she is literally next to me on the coach trying to make me go change to go out

Take one for the team, and get to it.

Have you explained the disappointment of a last second tip in?

would she understand this crucial news?

I'm thinking she might

which may be why she wants to go dancing….if you know what I mean :D

If she understands just how crushing that last second was

she will do more than dance with AoN…

She’ll probably dance the Lambada.

another last second tip in?
Heyo!

getting Gallo out of street clothes?

Very good point

ADIOS!

lol GET OUT AND DANCE
On the coach?

Why doesn’t she take him dancing?

OMG Why did none of the rest of us catch that...REC REC

Hilarious!

we still have 2.5 weeks of nasty nasty scheduling

but right about then we should be getting back to full strength. hopefully things will break right for us and we can go on one of our season-ending tears.

Itll be tough... we play spurs and portland at home... i heard felton got benched
His mom's not gonna be happy
I kinda hope Chandler, Gallo, Nene come back in the same game

that would be something special. Except that would be too long down the road

Props to Brewer, Bird and Faried

for getting us back in the game. The rookie made a rookie mistake. Too bad Karl will sit him at the end of the now.

Karl's

gonna throw Faried under the bus for the mistake. Watch. But, I am convinced that if we had Mozgov and Faried in on the last play, Dante Cunningham would not have tipped the shot in.

faried had a hell of a game... karl wont bench him... faried has proven hes ready

Plus he’s not JR.

dont underestimate Karl

Afflalo is still starting

Faried is a Karl type player

hustle, listens to the coach, disciplined.

And again, he’s not JR.

I think that was covered in disciplined

There’s lack of discipline and then there’s Bonafide Knucklehead.

Give me knucklehead playmaker

over smart players who can’t score

He’s not JR, he’ll be fine.

Career High for the rook!

Great game from Employee 35

I think

he got a 20 and 10. Or somewhere near it. Wowzers.

18 and 10.
Ah.

Close enough. Straight beastin.

Ill Will and Gallo

And this team turns into a contender…i’m pretty sure

RIght,

but I don’t want Brewer to be shuffled to the end of the bench again. He has shown he deserves big playing time. Right now, it seems more likely that AAA’s minutes get cut for Chandler.

He’ll be used to front Durant.

regular season chandler

Yes. but not so sure about playoff chandler

first playoffs ever...
We tend to forget how much Chandler's ankle was bothering him

during that playoff series.

Good Point

and the guy is still young. We need major help at the 2. Here’s a question. Anthony Carter or 2012 Afflalo?

Really not a fan of AC

I’d rather count on AAA to have it together come playoff time.

me too

but you had to think about it right? I bet Masai is kicking himself

Last year

it was Chandler’s first playoffs series. He will be fine, we need his D,rebounding and mid range game bad

Chanlder has

such a nice pull up jumper. Can’t wait to see it again.

He'll get to practice in china

on the plus(?) side

I hope so!

I’m not that excited about this team!

Did anyone

really expect us to win it all this year? Not me amigo. I was looking for development of our young players and maybe a first round win. Anything else would be gravy.

I have been a Nugget fan for a long time

The only years that have been good are 84-85 and 08-09! But then again they are the ONLY team in Denver I root for!

87-88 was pretty great too. So was the 1994 upset.
I think the Anthony Goldwire years were the best...
The Hanzlik Stache

saved the season.

I forgot about the 1994 season

I purchased a Sonics t shirt. Then put a circle with a line through it on the logo and wrote the final score of the 5th game on the back! I should have kept that Tee!

At least this game was exciting!

until the Nuggets looked like CSU against Boise. :(

Karl's postgame comments:

http://altitudesports.typepad.com/files/coach-karl-after-memphis.mp3

Didn’t throw anyone under the bus

When you can't bash Karl for what he did in the game

you must bash him for things he didn’t even say!

It’s the norm.

thanks for sharing!
I think when Karl gets stumped when the team comes out flat

Just put in the youngins again

YES.

They’ve showed they can hang with the big boys. Especially Faried. That boy needs to be unshackled.

I want Faried/Bird starting against OKC

yeah I said it, if Moz is still gimpy that is

especially if Perkins is still out
Agreed

Faried can at least match Ibaka’s intensity. Without him we’ll give up way too many offensive boards.

been saying it since the slump started

hold out until march and we will get a huge roll going. great to see manimal get his first pro double double

Yep.

A bunch of home games then a long but not so bad difficulty-wise road trip. Just keep above water at this point and hold the fort down.

Westbrook could be out sunday! sprained his ankle tonight
Ty Lawson

Looks about 3/4 speed from the beginning of the year to me. Anyone else notice that?

We can win the final 4 of the month

of course we could just as well lose them but I think with 3 home games we will be OK

I see us

at 6th at the end of the month, primed for a good stretch run to get us a Top 4 seed.

When's the allstar break?
Starts next Friday
I saw nothing tonight but I am NOTgiving up on the season!

GO NUGGETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one

should give up on this season. It’s been a rough 10 games, but tonight really showed a lot of good. And when we get the heavy artillery back, I see a big run to the playoffs.

I'm done with this team

looks like the vacation hasn’t changed my mood…Of course if we ACTUALLY win a NBA title (it did happen to the Red Sox), I will be enjoy my crow…I just want some “Sweet Baby Ray’s BQQ” on it. lol

Step away

from the ledge man. A LOT of basketball left this season. 3 games or something separate 3rd and 8th.

I'm the worst fan.

Highest of the high after wins
and lowest of the low after loses (of course 2-7 in Nine games doesn’t help). I figure feb, would be a tough one for our Nuggets!!!!

Maybe some mission impossible for help me out

Feels relevant

Okay this is probably the first unicorn I sort of like. That's outstanding. Rec!
That's some

crazy gases coming out of its ass.

He's farting sparkles! OMG! It's brilliant!
This is what

happens when too many Lucky Charms are consumed. That damn leprechaun doesn’t tell you this. Sneaky bastard.

must have eaten some lucky charms!!!!
koufos only 4 min?

why?

cuz he played like

Bird on the trading block
Bird and Faried

played too well to come out tonight. And when they did, Mozgov came in while the other was out. Harrington too.

Sold on Faried

But the Bird I think is done

Though he came alive

in the 4th tonight. The first ROAD GAME in forever where he has played well.

anyone know how bad Westbrick's ankle is?
Wait Westbrick is wounded.

I should feel bad , yet I don’t

Would you feel bad if some giant douche from Jersey Shore hurt his/her ankle?

add two levels of douche to that and you get Westbrook

Al Harrington

what has happened man? Where did the magic burger go?

playing like al brickets of last year
I wonder if his plantar fasciatis is back :(
Out the pooper.

Turning a sewer into gold somewhere as we speak.

I'm sure he's well enough
