Hey look a new thread

in which I’m making the first comment

GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

NUUUUUUGGGGGEEEETTTTTSSS!!!

I WANT RETRIBUTION FOR SUNDAY NIGHT

Retribution Baby? I like SmiteBaby better
get it to gallo

let him get his groove back

Nene not looking for that pass
If we lose again, I'm blaming the Alt Navy blue jerseys
DeAndre reminds me a bit of Kwame Brown

Has a world of talent but terrible fukin hands

I’m about to switch Insurances.

icwydt and I'm sad
AFFAILO

Fails again

But he's shooting FT
I was talking about the bad pass thrown in the 4th row
I like steve kerr

he always knew gallo was special

So an interesting weather/Nuggets side note....

weather dude on the radio said by the time the Nuggets flight gets back from L.A. there’s a (small) chance they may not even be able to land at DIA, which would divert them likely to a place like Cheyenne, in which case they would have to bus back to Denver. Then they likely wouldn’t even get home until 7ish in the morning, then they have to play the Lakers tomorrow night.

Might be a crappy couple days for the Nugs.

They really should have a "no Wyoming" clause...
We should all be so fortunate.

There would have to be an provision allowing for the Jackson Hole area.

Star talk already

On to AllState!!

AAA is not a post up player
Yesssssssss
Great drive Ty. Speedy.
Blurrrrrrr!!!

Back to back!!!

ALL STAR BID!!!

AAA insurance lacking, AAA is more like

Back to back Blurrrage
ive been preaching it all year

Lawson has to be our closer

Billups can only shoot against us :p
I luv Lawson

But he’s like an undersized SG not a PG

what?
I see more SG than PG in his game

Or just as much SG as PG.

Trying to hold back on AAA

too…..tough….

oh look they can't miss long shots again
Little bit sloppy.
is it just me

Or does AAA still look super rusty?

It's not just you
so you're saying I'm not crazy
Everyone can see it.

You would think a guy that young would be in shape by now….

It's probably all psychological

He needs to relax.

He can afford a psychologist, right?

I dunno

They are kind of expensive.

Yips need more than a psychologist
Too many jumpers

Did Mozgov cut his hair?

gallos not getting the ball

big problem

AAA forcing it. :(
Pure Gallo!!!!
I really like Steve Kerr as an analyst.
I see we're playing 5-on-8 again...

…considering Nene touched no one on that ‘foul’…

I have more faith in lawson than i do in gallo
yessssssss

(Marv Albert voice)

Nice cut Gallo!
Slippery Gallo

Wouldn’t want to get burns now.

Gallo with the sneak
Rooster Rockin' so far
More like a cok
Gallo is what we were missing in Memphis...Hmmmmm
too bad his shot was missing too

Glad to see him getting some early ones tonight

lol at the USPS commercials
because they are underwater!

But what gov’t agency is not! :(

not actually a govt agency, iirc.

Think they’re kinda like fannie mae

Quasi-governmental
Can we keep the politics out of the gamethread?

Please?

I hate these late games i always miss the second have when i go to work
you really need to examine your priorities
Gay

BERRRRRRRRRRRR

I really wish Rudy Gay was in that NBA infomercial

That would just bring it home.

whats with the anit-gay comercial?
Because they are socially aware....?
I think athletes speaking out about homophobia is an admirable thing

Should be done.

No commercial beats Mutumbo's

“MEEEEELYONS”

who wants to sex mutombo?

That's top 1000

dam lawson making me look like a dumbass
He was out of position!
Moz is looking pretty good tonight; not as lost

Sub him out now!!!

replace with Rudy and lose boards

STAT

And piss off ump!!

Meh. Probably a good call.
Are you fucking kidding me????

Not a charge. Suck Paul’s cock some other game, please

o_O
Thought I'd get it out of my system early ;)
Should he have spelt it without the 'c' like zeusmith always does?

Would that have made it more palatable?

That pretty much is what the refs are doing for CP3…

Basketball Reasons.

Palatable? LOL
Paul flop
That was a charge all the way

lets be objective

I thought it was a charge to
It was

and it was a flop

wow nene with 2 foulds thats gonna help...
OMGZ! BEST DUNK EVER!
DID U SEE THAT!!!!!
A BLAKE GRIFFIN DUNK

THE GREATEST HUMAN FEAT I HAVE EVER BEEN HONORED ENOUGH TO WITNESS!!!!1

dam bro it was just a dunk
Twitter gonna be blowin' up yo!
We should play a game where you take a shot every time Blake dunks
I am kinda attached to my few remaining brain cells
Depends on what you mean by dunk
It may be less lethal to drink every time a Clipper doesn't get an open shot
As long as its Miller Lite

I’ll be standing and probably sober

At least Moz learned his lesson.

Nice drive, AAA

Keep it up!

I'd love to see Moz posterize Griffin
Hey, have they talked about Blake's dunks yet?
I really dont want to listen to everyone talk about blake griffin

living in oklahoma city is bad enough so please keep it to a minimum

I think you need to detect sarcasm better
Wait...you were kidding?
Were you???
I never kid. Everything I say is serious.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
About as serious as a BLAKE GRIFFIN MEGA DUNK!
THAT'S SERIUZ BIZNEZZ
Are the men in suits going to come after me?
He just needs a better

sarcasm detector.

KevinL?

He probably means the full spectrum

Like how people got tired of hearing anything about Tebow.

DID YOU SEE TIM TEBOW WEARING A SHIRT YESTERDAY?????
NO BUT I SAW GRIFFIN DUNK TIM TEBOW....no...wait......
lol no im even tired of people sarcastically talking about blake griffen

yea….its that bad

Well they are playing the Clippers tonight
Well we aren't really celebrating Griffin.
Unlike the TNT announcers, who seem to have found one person to focus on all night

And Stern pushes the buttons.

I hate the clippers

theyre starting to get the same inflated sense of narcissism and entitlement the lakers have always had

they probably have most of their old fans by now
Billy Crystal would disagree with you.

That guy loves the Clippers!

And they're on Sportscenter constantly

Because SC does highlight shows based on metropolis population size, and LA is the shizz

Yeah...I was liking them but now I dunno.

and I think much has to do with CP3

Softest foul Evans has ever been called for

Any harder he would’ve been reported again.

Al should never handle the ball...
If Griffin can make that consistently,

he’s pretty much unguardable

it was luck
two jumpers by Blake...That has to be a record
Dre layup!

TY just got worse!

Trade Andre and hand the reigns to Lawson right now!
Idk

you guys are gonna flame me but the Clips are my 2nd favorite team, after Denver of course. Probably because they’re the only team I’ve seen live (twice) other than exhibition games back home.

I liked the Clips before this year
Yeah, actually

I liked last years team better than this years team. Can’t say I liked them any earlier than that, but I really liked watching EJ and definitely not a fan of CP3 flopping.

that was great defense by al
Already with the rebounding issues
Second chance points...
Who left FOYE so open?
And no offensive flow at all
Clippers making a bunch of contested 3s again

damn Karl

How is that Karl's fault?
Cat, really? *sigh*

chasms

Damn...:(

Can I get a hand up?

x

I'm not falling for that again!!!

How can you fall when you already fell?

I can fall farther

Really now….

Simba fell for it, lol.
that's the joke.
uggggghhhh

C’mon Arron

clips are too hot right now

noooo way they can keep this up

wow he didnt foul afflalo on that steal??
but afflalo was called for the reach in
Well

I’m the eternal optimist, but this game already feels like a loss. I’m out.

Gdamn 5 TO's already

Fuk

Hmm...this could be going better.
And it could be much worse....
Ever the optimist.
AFFAILO failing early so far
Rudy cannot guard Paul.

He’s a two guard for a reason!

Are we switching again?
no...he was put on him :p
this is about to get ugly

The one game we’re on TNT…….

playin like a bunch of azzzhols right now
Should Dre guard CP3?
Lawson should be on Paul all night,

but we started with AAA, then went to Rudy.

Oh yeah Ty....derp
What the fuck Kouf
That was a solid play Al. Nice.
Evans totally traveled right there
What a bad quarer
Pathetic excuse for basketball

Good job, Nuggets.

Not their best quarter.
Damn Fernandez needs to get new sneakers

Keeps slipping on the guarding

Achilles

He shouldn’t be playing this early after the injury, it is still affecting him.

yeah forgot about the AChilles

I think you’re right. He cant guard Paul while healthy its a total mismatch at this point

shoulda given gallo the ball

when he was in the game…

so in order to win this game we have to come back from 13
Wouldnt it be better

if we played our best players for more minutes?

Well Affailo played all 12

And he’s a -13 with 2 TO’s

He closed a game to help his self-esteem

:|

Distributing minutes

is always going to be a problem for a team like this.

GREAT QUARTER! ONLY DOWN 13!
I got that sarcasm
Clippers can't be THAT good at the 3 ball
only against us :p

They’ve been hot.

The good thing is, hopefully with a lead they will cool off

Pull a Nuggets and let us back in.

wow can we play some F'ing D

and if someone would just put baby flopping Blake on his ass once in wile he wouldnt be flying around

Nuggets not following my Key to the game...
Clearly they lost that key
which was?
Score more points than the Clippers
hmm thats a bold strategy not sure if it will work though
score more than the other team,

iirc

What??? Are you insane???
Nice curl off the screen
So we have no energy or heart

Why is injecting Faried for four minutes impossible?

Couldn’t beat AAA’s contributions.

Faried doesn't use injectables
He's not a guard, obviously...see Karl rule 42.
Kouf's only job should be to keep Evans out of the lane

Please don’t tell me that Al’s gonna slump now…

Hamburgler > Buckets
now i get to go into work pissed off lol
We can do better than Al in Griff
Keep the faith, guys.
See what happens when we play tall, Karl

DO YOU SEE!!!!

Well

we are down 9 so…is that what you mean? I assume not

Tip ins, rebounds, clogging the lane, etc.
Yes

but you see, the scoreboard is all that matters. And even with bigs in the Nuggets are down, so I’m not sure it’s making a great case. Not that I disagree that this is better

Gallo's shot looks good tonight
Love me some Gallo

For basketball reasons…

I thought it was for the dance moves.
of course

of course

You don't need to have a reason why

Unless you have Gallo envy.

But that doesn't mean you don't love Gallo too
Why is Gallo in?

Is he off of suspension?

Right, way to ignore 20 games and emphasize one
someone should tell the refs

The Lakers aren’t playing tonight

I think im in love with this lineup
Here he comes to save us...DRE!!!!
Dre continuing to hinder Ty's progression with a layup

(OK I’ll stop now)

MOAR SHOOTING GUARDS!!

Cuttin down that lead. Keep it up.
Wow Dre with the speed
D picks up and we get in the game keep it up
Like that Gallo has his stroke tonight
tws...nah, too easy :p

Brought out that KY.

How are we scoring points, cutting down leads, and

playing tall.

GK must be thinking it’s a fluke.

:|

Evil Karl’s coaching.

golf clap for not playing birdman also
Gallo and TY

+5 & +1

Means something, no?

It means they both add up to +6

Give or take

I'm not a statistician, so I can't answer your question
According to +/- stats the small guard lineup works

tread carefully or you will end up disagreeing with yourself

mmmm

got to get my foot out of dogshit now

I don't really get the appeal of "Ghost Rider".

Especially staring Nic Cage as a “super hero”. Just weird.

see:

nic cage interview with david letterman, where he explains doing shrooms with his cat Louis

This. I like Nic Cage but yeah I don't get it.
I'm a big Nic Cage fan.

That seen from “The Rock” with him lying on the floor repeating “I’d take pleasure in guttin’ you boy” is a classic for me.

Why oh why did they choose him for that role…

At least he didn't end up as Superman.
Henry Cavill.....ohhh yeahhhh
Ghost Rider comic sucked

Nic Cage as blaze sucks

Playing tall helps even when tall means

KK

So OT

does anyone else think LA having 4 starters in the all star game is a little setup?

Meh, as long as Yao’s not starting. I’m fine.

The starters are going to be like that for years.

The backups are the only things I care about at this point.

Why is this OT?
hmm I guess its kind of not
pretty much as expected
but really is there that many people in LA?
No

it’s the biggest market in the West Conf. and is obsessed about by the media. It’s quite unsurprising

Using that Savvy again.

Now that was a complete bailout call

Damn you Chauncey :p

They should have an alternate for NBA League pass

where theres some porn instead of just a spotlight on a basketball floor

I am confused by this comment
why not just watch porn?
how is that a shooting foul?

Basketball Reasons.

Karl just talked about Miller staying in Denver for 2 or 3 more years

All about winning

Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!!!!

ROOOOOOOOOOOODERS!!

Chauncey or Miller... ??

Basketball Reasons.

Did Karl shave? might explain the losing streak.
WHO'S *******ING CENTER
Their wives I hope
AL

Karl’s mini-me lineup in play

Geez! Call the foul!

Too much mustard….

Hey we are within 8!
Good lord Al...there are other players on your team dude.
god I hate this lineup
why

we almost average 6’2"

Who needs centers

when you have Dre

AL at Center is bullshit
this lineup is fucking stupid
Please put in someone who can play center...PLEASE?
*Sigh* I miss Marlowe and Hastings. I like homerism.
Fuk

Why does Harrington ALWAYS force a shot in the paint. If he drives, he takes the shot no matter what.

I hate every lineup lawson and miller play together
I don't mind Lawson and miller

But with Fernandez as well gets to be a little ridiculous

Its fine

But Karl goes too small at 3 and 4 with this lineup often

I really wish we could grab a rebound when we're completely uncontested for it
Well that's just silly talk
None of the Clippers are bigger than Nene

it’s more of a box out issue

Now that is Gallo being SAVVY
I don't know why

but Chris Paul has a punchable face…

it's because he smirks non-stop
Agreed.

I hate Paul – he is such a wiener.

I know why

he just looks like someones little brother

Someone should test this
I know one reason, and Julius Hodge agrees.
he pouts like he's getting a

colonoscopy

When Gallo is clicking

It seems like we have a chance.

haha

well thanks gallo. learned one from chauncey 2 nights ago, in other news — gallo has taken 10th most FT’s in the NBA and has highest FT% in top 10

Where is he in FT% overall?
quid pro quo

gallo is the best FT guy in the NBA i thinks

Nice dish by Dre to NENE
nene got hit in the head on that
Good pass Dre, good slam Nene. Within 4.

Out savvy’d by Dre.

Defensive intensity is much better this quarter.
Dre is so awesome this year
That week when the article dropped

So did his play. Glad his head is back in the game.

I'm going to guess it was a coincidence

of course on DS it mean he had quit, but that’s why I love this place

SSS has no meaning here.
I think he was probably upset about something

And has calmed down.

Sniff sniff

I smell a comeback

But we aren't even ahead yet.
ba dum ch
Thanks, I'll be here all night
Tip your server!
no, I know

Thats why its just an aroma

If we move ahead and win, it will be eating

BTW, I’m starving

I'm sure NY is very limited in food options...
yeah just chicken pot pie here

so boring

that's what I had for dinner, too!
CURSE OF THE COMMENTATOR

SHUT YOUR MOUF :|

Dre out savvy's CB
he must be wearing his silk boxers
Chris Paul might be the MVP

he won’t win it, but he might be. same thing happened every time he was out last game too.

It’s going to Trey Ocho.

or

Trey Cinco.

his legs gonna break

and im going to silently fist pump with gasol

this sounds.....wrong
What does this mean???
I dunno, but it sounds....wrong
I understand completely
Don't go Tonya Harding on us now...
i guess jack him off

..nahhhh ur not allowed to be happy when a mvp breaks his leg, but me and pau gasol hate chris paul

Rihanna with blond hair

discuss

Doesn't matter,

still someone I don’t pay attention to

NO, THIS IS IMPORTANTZ
If I knew who that was I would.
reminds me of rihanna with blonde hair
if this is 12-24inches

Imagine what Colorado meteorologists tell their girlfriends…

Hey look, bandwagon celebrities (besides Crystal)
Lil Wayne is a Lakers fan

makes perfect sense seeing he is from NO.

Billy Crystal looks totally into this game
I thought he looked more like he's been totally into cheese burgers lately
I thought Billy Crystal was a Knicks fan?
Yankees fan

so in all likelihood a Lakers fan

I swore he was talking about being Knicks fan one time
wasn't that city slickers?
No in real life..
ya really looked like he was into his nap
Remember when Samuel L Jackson went to a Nuggets game once?
Psssh. We have Tim Tebow.
Tim Tebow can only pray for the amount of cool that is Samuel L. Jackson

But Morgan Freeman = God.

But God isn't necessarily cool.......

all the time

GET THIS MOTHERFUCKIN BRONCO OFF THIS MOTHERFUCKIN PEDESTAL I SET!!!
how'd we cut this lead...awesome
ZOMG GRIFFIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HALL OF FAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
meh...Gallo 3...
nuthin like a GRIFFIN DUNK!
Gallo hasn't missed a shot
he missed 1

a fadeway postup jumper

That’s top 2.

Gallo's a fucking boss

notice how his shot was worth more than griffins….

Hey look guys and gals down by one !!!

Until Chauncey.

6/7 griff...nice job
Thank Goodness we left wide open
Thanks for saving that one Dre.
Haha that GK facepalm was classic
That was so bad it required a headpalm.

Piccard Approves.

Sha BAM! Tie game baby!
Do we guard the perimeter ever?

No. Cool.

ALL STAR BID!!!

Gallo to Ty

equals points

Gallo to Blur

tied

Blur to Nene!!!

That's unranked

Nene! Nice! Way to not suck Nuggets!
:|

:|

Hello Out, nice to see you back.

I overreacted

And I pride myself on not being a DS kneejerker. Ugh

Resistance is futile

You will be assimilated.

:(

Best of both worlds.

We have Ponies!!!

THAT'S A FUN TIME ANIMAL!
I would just like to archive in case of post game rants

that this no center lineup has cut a double digit deficit

agreed

nene and who’s our other big..gallo?? i like this lineup

The run didn't really start until Nene came in
Most people refuse to call Nene a center

and are only pleased with Moz or Kouf.

Nene is better at Center

Mozgov has that jumpshot a PF should have…

Maybe switch them up? lol

More like Nene’s a 5 with handles.

And also

two PG ha been in

Yes it did work this time

I would have gone tall because of Griffin and Jordan, but this unit playing well.

Also, we see how valuable Nene is to our success. The guy is actually not as soft as usual. I love it!

worst dunk ever by nene
Oh.

AND ALLSTAR BID!!

Lulz

we are small market in middle of nowhere!

the desert has some nice scenery...
Lawson ~ Miller lineup looking quite good at the moment
THERE'S THAT TEAM I SAW LAST WEEK!!

I missed you so….

I'd like to warn you guys

I have to miss the 4th quarter of this game. The other two games I watched the 1st and missed the 2nd half? Philly and Knicks. Brace your hearts for an epic finish.

I'm getting braced as we speak
i have miller for 4 rebounds and official scorer has him at 1
official scorer is obv wrong

obv

Anither nice game by Miller

Honestly, with him this year Denver is 12-9

without?
Thats it

Karl can;t take him out of the lineup even though he needs the rest. When Miller plays, he plays for long stretch

Official scorer cannot believe it himself
gallo nene ty dre ...and a meh afflalo
Mehfflalo?
i think we know

next time he hits a three he’s my assassin again

ha

new nickname till he disproves it

I prefer the new name Afflac

since that last play was the act of a duck

nene has to be on floor with miller and lawson

and gallo should be as well

Geez...another uncontested rebound that we fumble away
AAA...bobble hands
oooooh Arron

Killing us!

Damn Afflalo snag that reb!
griffin can't drive, but he can shoot the midrange j

have to defend that

jeez nene rotate
nene wanted none of that
GRIFFIN SHOULD WIN A NOBLE PRIZE!!!
I don't think his very noble
maybe rudy> AAA right now

GALLO ON FIRE!!

Gallo 3...boring...
zHamburgler killin' up
Clipper can keep the glitz. I'll take the points.
Gdamn interior D PLEASE
AL

Where’d you go?

In N Out.

They were hanging out in LA yesterday
Not having a good game

keep the knee calm, Kevin!

It is very calm.

Shaky cause I’m sick, but he’s in a bit of a slump.

Hope he picks it back up – he is vital to our success.

Oh and Rudy should be starting over AAA
You notice how other teams block out and get defensive rebounds?

maybe we should try that

paul gets away with murder with his offhand
Gallo's on FIYA
Gritty play Nene and Ty!!

DAMN WE FIESTY!!!

Holy crap Ty Lawson is fast.

Chauncey’s just on him/

RUDY FOR AAA GOGOGO
Oh.

And Chauncey meet your former Padawan.

When I left you I was but the learner.....
Lawson and Nene putting their bodies into it

So good to see

gallo has 15

without even trying

He's much better than his last outing.
Lawson amongst the trees

Balkman left a stash?

something like that :)
He was like Merry and Pippin

amongst the Ents

Nene has been really great on the boards this season.
Nice end to the quarter
lol I saw Hastings on the press bench

Got my hopes up that Altitude was showing this

cmon sink one more!
great quarter for Denver
Good adjustments by Karl

not that anyone would be willing to admit it, of course when it doesn’t work then they see it

WORST COACH IN TEH HISTROZ OF EVER
Fire Karl

His adjustments were too daft

How dare you support our coach?!?!?!
I'll give Karl his due

He’s showing great flexibility and adaptability with the lineups tonight

Seriously though agreed

karl put the right lineups out that half. He didnt go too small with Dre/Lawson out there, and it worked out well. I like the Dre Lawson lineup as long as we go big in the front court.

we wore the clips down
All in all, not a horrible half.
lol Nene taking a 3 pointer
Steve Kerr doesn't watch us at all

Karl is terrible at drawing up inbounding plays

hahahaha

steve kerr just called karl “very adept at making plays like this work”

GK inbounds it to Steve Hess
I actually laughed out loud at that
AAA and Al with -8 a piece
I'm going to call fatties

“The Bread Truck” now.

Kouf

You have to wonder, would bird have played better than kouf?

Random thought

How deadly would Nene be if he developed a bank shot a la Tim Duncan

I missed the game

Does everyone still want to trade half the roster?

Did they ever want to trade that much?

It’d still be nice to get something for Dre instead of seeing him leave for nothing after this season, so unless you’re sure we’re winning the O’Brien, you probably need to trade him…

TRADE FOR VAREJAO!!!

This is the one idea I like

The only one.

And getting value for Miller / Bird.

As long as Bird is in his nest.

Maybe they will change their minds about AAA

Hopefully he’s back for good.

George Karl may be the greatest coach in the history of basketball

Nuggets greatest team in NBA history, have never been in better shape. Even if Boston would trade KG for Stone we shouldn’t do a thing at all because we are so perfectly set. Nuggets are once again THE title contenders. AAA was the best signing in Nuggets history

GOOOO Nuggets!

Well that was a beat down. Nuggets were trending WorldWide on Twitter as was Ty Lawson, Harrington and Mozgov. Twas brilliant!

great game

needed to give out a thorough beatdown to a good team. great win

Me thinks SB Nation couldn’t handle that beat down.

Watching the Nuggets with my computer at my service and not being able to blog was just weird!

soo umm.. NUGGETS WIN!! TACOS!!! FARIED!!! GRIFFIN GOT MOZ’D!!! BUCKETS!!! GALLO!! TY!!! AAA!!! MOZGOD!!! DRE!!! NENE!!! etc etc

You forgot to say the F word like 99 times.
No need

we be winning all over the place

Seriously. I didn't know who to talk to. Especially when it's just me here
Cat

I was seriously concerned over your health…

I don't really believe you. LOL
Well no way to prove it seeing we were not operative for awhile!
True that. Thanks for your concern?
I do what I can

actually I was dancing around and talking crap to my TV most the time…

LOL Same here

in between hitting F5 like some desperate addict.

Yep, I must have refreshed this site 100 times

I need to put my feelings into word…WORDS!

HYPERBOLIC WORDS NO LESS!!!1

IT WAS THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD

SB picked a hell of a game to crap out for.

Couldn’t handle the fact we beat down Griff like he stole something.

Can't wait for how this will be spin doctored on ESPN
they had 4 games in 5 nights

the nuggets run, etc, etc…

TNT already has tried putting the beat down..down

Charles rejected that notion at least

gotta appreciate the bread truck
EFF THAT!

SERIOUSLY, TO HELL WITH THAT SHIT!

I am sick and tired of hearing excuses from Clips fans whenever their team flat out fails!

I cannot wait for that Webber saying Gallinari clip to be up on Youtube

cause it’s going to be gif’d

That was outstanding
his glasses are nearly as dumb as his basketball opinions
Oh noooooo LOVE his glasses . They are terrific.
Oh

Sorry about the site being down. I had band practice tonight. Was wondering why my phone was blowing up.

Also:

I told y’all that Gallo would be back, kicking ass and taking names.

Oh so it's your fault?

let’s all get the pitchforks

What happend to Mister Big Flop tonight

I guess he had his petty revenge and went back to his normal avg ppg

My guess

Old and tired and past his bed time.

That’s how I feel most of the time.

One thing I took here.

Moz has learned his lesson and he’ll be one tough SOB.

Oh, and Fire.

oh dear

my little pony reference

Problem?

A lot of guys in their 20s seem to like this show

Look past the cute and frills, it’s actually a good watch.

I agree with Wave...Little pony is for 8 year old girls. Sorry Kevin

Meh.

If Little pony was driving The Dukes of Hazard General Lee.

You might have something!

Knowing Fraust and co. They might. They already have Dr. Who references.

Don't you bad mouth

Victory Pony

Bad Mouth...LMAO!!!!
what?
You said don't mouth

so I bad mouthed. Understand?

You do know what "bad mouth" means right?

Charles said stiffs!!

So.

What were the highlights?

I can read a box score, but what the hello happened? Did Denver dominate the whole game? Was there a critical moment where Gallo just started raining down 3’s? What’s the story?

Just one word.

Faried.

Played five minutes

When the game was in hand.

I actually was able to catch his final two free throws. Both perfect swishes. Not a bad touch.

crappy 1st quarter

started running and draining 3s in the second and third. managed to maintain the lead to the 4th. faried, miller, j-ham, carrol, and kouf closed the game for about 8 minutes. nothing to special. faried played ok. showed his jumping and rebounding prowess. dude is going to be a rebounding blackhole when he gets playing time

Clippers were up 32-19 after 1

then the Nuggets took things into their own hands. Pretty much everyone played well, lots of good looks from inside, very good D, solid 3 point shooting. 28 assists tonight

I was yelling Manimal!! Manimal!

He looked kinda bad. I then I yelled, it’s the Braidy Bunch!!

That's still an ugly first quarter

Denver is giving up too many of those.

Oh and Moz got some revenge on Griffen

put him on the ground with a solid and clean foul while Griffin tried to dunk, he then missed both FTS

That was fun to see

He’s growing up right under our eyes.

One more thing

Reggie Evans reminded us all why we do not miss him one bit. And Brian Cook is the worst shooter in the history of basketball in America, and that’s not hyperbolic.

Whose junk did he grab tonight?
Those two 3's by harrington were awesome

And AAA was all over Chris Paul like a cheap suit.

That's good to hear.

Pretty negative in here the last 48 hours. Hope that lets up somewhat now.

Man he had Chris Paul so rattled.

LA called a timeout and Chris Paul spent nearly the entire timeout whining to a ref.

Nobody but AAA and TY played more than 30

that’s good, and AAA could use the confidence boost. 8-8 from the line, good aggression

It was nice to see AAA hit that 3
agreed

thought he was playing a bit better in the offense. still had a few bonehead plays but it was better

He was a lot looser in the second half, not that it means much.

think it helped that he was playing close to home?
No. I think he's just getting himself together.

Let’s hope it continues.

AAA looked good tonight

First time all season!

The definition of balance

Chauncey Billups went 2-9
I wonder if the Clips are starting to regret taking on his salary cap. New York has become so much worse without him.

He’s done fine for them.

Clippers have played a lot of home games

They have big road trip coming up. Let’s see how they do away from Staples!

CAVS WILL CRUSH THEM

4 games in 5 nights will tire out the best players!

If the Clippers can win on the road, they will be tough!

Thank goodness

The Nuggets got to play Washington and the Knicks at the end of their crazy span.

Not so fortunate for the Clippers.

Oh well.

Cloudburst

Was at the game tonight.

Can't wait to hear his report

Betcha he does a special recap with funny graphics. Rather looking forward to it.

Think Harrington had only 8 points because he knew Cloudy was watching and it made him nervous.

Aspirin Game..

Hope everyone feels better and the pain is relieved. Liked AAA defense on CP3. Didn’t back down from his constant bumping. And Moz finishing in the lane.

Hope the team makes it back safe tonight. BEAT LA take 2 tomorrow.

I dunno. That felt more like an ibuprofen win.
They should stay in LA

STupid to travel back to Denver in this.

It snowed two inches in three hours. That’s not exactly big news, but it’s not supposed to stop until Saturday afternoon. What the hell?

That just means more bonding time for our Boy Band of a squad.

Well

they do fly these days…airport is still open then they will be traveling tonight

Still stupid

The NBA should postpone the game or something.

But when would they be able to make it up.

LET’S PLAY TWO! doubtful

If we lose tomorrow I'll agree

actually what may happen is they can’t fly out tomorrow night, now that would be excellent.

Good thing they aren't flying out of San Diego

They restrict takeoffs between 11:30 and 6:30 am

Many airports are like that

DIA has a restriction time too I’m sure, but they’ll make exceptions for something like the Nuggets landing.

Although DIA might not seeing there is little residency by the airport

meanwhile San Diego is in the middle of…everything

Pretty sure the Nuggets don't fly into DIA

I’d guess they fly out of Centennial.

I have no idea

I know football teams fly out of DIA because I saw the Raiders bus head that way. But you may very well be correct

I don't have an idea, either

Except I know the Broncos use Centennial. but Dove Valley is right there.

I think this is the Nuggets flight

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SWQ801/history/20120203/0700Z/KLAX/KDEN

Could be

to Sacto and from Memphis to LA makes sense. They use other ones I guess seeing that plane was not used during the East Coast trip.

So is Bird now behind Carrol in the pecking order? Yikes...

Bradies are moving on up.

Methinks Bird has had his wings clipped :(
Stick a fork.

He done.

Man that was fun to watch

Can’t wait for tomorrow night’s beatdown of the other LA team! (assuming we can get a flight back into Denver) lol

That’s it. The Lakers are now the other LA team.

You may want to jump back to Cleveland.

Hey, I’m just highlighting what Larry said.

A win over the Lakers will always be sweeter...much sweeter
Always and forever
Great third quarter by Moz

hitting shots, smacking Griffin…loved it

Perfect start to the b2b2b

Blowout…guys got rest..rookies played..

I predicted the blowout!

I actually predicted 112-88 on the game thread… pretty close ;D
see?, optimism is not dreaming… we did show them!! I’m happy!

Good job! You buyin a round for everyone?
sure I am!

come down here to brazil and get your beer ;)

beijos beijos
yay!

now my night is complete and I can finally go to bed (it’s 4:50am!) :D

When I read that I thought you were crazy

oops

Phil

Do you have classes tomorrow?

I got to work at Metro unless shit is canceled.

No Friday classes

luckily, I’m not scheduled to work the Nuggets either. Auraria hardly ever calls things off unfortunately

guess I better get to bed.

ugh.

What do you do at Metro?

Any news on travel plans for the nugs? Are they still thinking if flying into wyo and driving down? That sounds insane to me

Were they talking about that?

Cos that is crazy, too.

They should postpone the game.

Again.

More bonding time for the Nuggs.

Our boy band of a squad……

dear god……..I hope they got paid a lot of money for this.

Good game, wish Ty was healthy vs Clips and Grizz earliest

B/c they would have been Ws too.
Btw Ty was not healthy vs the Grizz.

Does anyone think that our scammer of a GM can get something for the Bird.
If we can get anything for the Bird even a 2nd round pick, it’s a scam.

Poor Bird

He deserved to retire as a Nugget.

Go to any game and you can see how the casual fans adore him; the kids in fauxhawks.

Really, I hope he can turn it around and contribute 10-minutes a game for the home games at least to energize the crowd.

It is really sad

seeing the kids emulating a washed up never been will be the downfall of our species. Maybe the fauxhawk coincides with the mayan 2012 apocalypse.

as far as turning it around…he should watch the game on the floor instead of the jumbotron and maybe he would know what the hell is going on.

I haven’t been following…what happened to Andersen?

About to get Old Yeller’d.

He's not getting any playing time
He sucks

I wouldnt mind trading the bird for Andersen Varejao though.

But that Andersen is an Anderson

I can’t keep ’em straight, either!

You mean Sideshow Bob?

He’s the reason why Bron wanted Wade.

I love Varejao

He deserves to be on a better team.

He surpassed the tattoo threshold
Great second & third quarters tonight

Nice to see this team overcome a 13 point deficit. Nuggets got their act together and ran a tired Clippers team out of the building.

Bring on the Lakers!

AAA played very well, Karl had good rotations, Mozgov got to play a good chunk of the game,

And the rookies got more burn than usual.

What just happened?

Faried Played, do the math.

Nuggets in the second seed!

Nice!!!!

Kind of hope the Nuggets get snowed out and go directly to Rip City

Just sayin’.

This is what I've been saying!

And deny us a chance to rip on the Lakers?

The game would be rescheduled

The league would not deny the opportunity to spill purple blood.

BUT I WANT IT NOW!
I don't

I want Lakers blood!

This.
Yeah.

Theses two demand blood.

And I just want to reiterate that I was very impressed with AAA tonight

This was 2010 Afflalo. Getting the star guard mad, driving to the hoop, making free throws. This is what I expect from him. Somewhere around 12 points a night and steady defense is all.

He just needs to calm down.

He looked good tonight minus some turnovers

I think he was happy to be in LA.

He just needs to relax and play his game.

Well, hopefully this game will be the turning point.
This this this
just back from the game

obviously a fun one…after the first Q, of course, where I recall thinking that Blake was going to score 40 and we were going to get slaughtered. Gotta give props to Gallo of course, POG—but the best move was Karl putting Afflalo on Paul and having him pick up full court. Great decision, and Afflalo really executed well. Play defense like that every night and you’re gonna earn that contract son, regardless of the offense. Really stalled the Clips from doing what they wanted. For instance, let’s try it tomorrow v. that one other guard from LA. Some other thoughts:

—Moz: very nice. Scoring 11 without dribbling shows a very effective night of positioning, and his hard foul on Griffin changed the game. After that, the Clips sort of shrunk back. Earned the extended minutes tonight.

—Lawson was quietly effective. A few times he turned on the jets and showed that speed, but overall played a very controlled and effective game. Fun to watch live.

—Not having Billups on fire is preferable. But overall the defense was great. Lots of energy tonight. Clips on the 2nd of a b2b really hit a wall and our energy overwhelmed them.

—Man Faried is small in person, but damn fun to watch. He is legitimately shorter and barely broader than Hamilton, and dwarfed by Clips rook Thompkins. Often looks a bit lost, but he just jumps off the page athletically. Gonna be a baller once he figures it all out.

—Everyone loves Bird. From CLips players to fans, dude is a rock star during timeouts. Not so much on the floor today though.

—Randy Foye must have felt like the old Nova days in the 4th. Looked like an all-star. Andre looked like a dad playing and coaching his son’s AAU team.

—Rhianna walked about 3 feet from me. Wow. Not the worst looking woman in the world.

—Man Clips crowds are different than Lakers crowds. Might as well be 2 different cities.

Glad I dropped the coin for that one…damn fun.

Awesome recap

Thanks for the report.

Sorry you have to live in the LA area.

:P

Love it here

75 and sunny all day. All week. All the time. I remember growing up in Wyo, I used to know where the defrost button was on my car. Not sure I currently have one, though I probably do.

Crazy isn't it, how different the fanbases are?
It really is

Clips probably more what any other fanbase outside of NYC and now Mia are like. Lakers…just a different world.

Loving the chuckster ripping on LBJ

Man LBJ is aging real fast. It might be the steroids he took when he was younger.
The square jaw and receding hairline are big signs of steroid use. He may not take them anymore, but I really think he took it in high school and early part of NBA career.

Post game thread is up
OT: D Jordan's little bro signed with CSU to play football

Brett Jordan TE 6-5 245 Bellaire, Texas (Bellaire H.S.)

Loved out AAA chucked Paul for that foul.

That was Kenyon v Dirk circa 2008. Made me smile!
