PrintRecently I have been criticized for my strong stinkin de-like of certain member of the LA Lakers, a team I feel isn't out of our reach talent wise and one we could beat on any given night and id say 50/50 in a 7 game series.
Now, I am aware of our size difficulties against them and actually a lot of other teams. But I dont feel that by adding some other big man for size sake is the answer to what many people believe the problem is.
I believe some of the issues, like losing to Atlanta (playing great right now), Chicago, and the Bucks' Michael Jennings has little to do with lack of size, or running set plays but rather a shift in culture internally and maybe more important, surrounding Our Nuggets. By that I mean, This franchise is not used to winning and when a team is not used to winning, the fans of said team arent used to winning therefore everyone starts to EXPECT to lose. And that is a dangerous rabbit-hole to go near. And I don't think the turnaround is quite complete. And that's on us.
As a fan of any team I think we have a responsibility to help change the culture surrounding a team.
That means, not arriving at the Pepsi center by the middle/end of the first quarter no matter who we're playing. Cheering like crazy for things like hustle, execution, and keeping our foot on the throat of any team we play. AND (here's where im gonna run into trouble but) not letting fans of other teams waltz on to our website and say ANYTHING without at least a little friendly, and COMPLETELY NORMAL trash talking. Its our house, and we get to decide how long a GUEST can stay and how much iced tea we're gonna give em. I guess I'im saying, being "the bigger person" doesnt really apply to Fandom....Cause believe me, what people are saying about our nuggets on other sites is some pretty crazy shit.
Before anyone responds to this, please understand, im not asking or even talking about "in-fighting" on this site between fellow nuggets fans. The last time this happened it spiraled out of control to the point that another poster actually threatened to threaten me if it weren't for the rules. THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK ON ANYONE! We are all different kinds of fans, but I kinda miss the pre PC days where i could say fuck Kobe Bryant, fuck Tim Duncan, Fuck Shaq, Fuck Laker fans, Fuck everybody except my team and have it met with someone just kinda shaking their head and going, "jeez, that guy is crazy about his team. CRAZY"
Anybody who has yelled at the TV, broke something that they realized they needed 30 minutes later, not been able to watch ESPN for a couple of days to avoid highlights of any kind, or seen someone with a Lakers shirt and stifled the desire to ask "Are you really a fan? or are you wearing that cause it really brings out your Asshole?" will know exactly what im talking about.
SO LETS WALK PROUD AND ACT LIKE WE DESERVE TO BE COCKY ARROGANT AND DOWNRIGHT RIDICULOUS FANS OF OUR NUGGETS!!!
Write respectfully of your SB Nation community and yourself.

LOL
Threatened to threaten you huh (never did such a thing, was saying that I was tired of you saying I’m not a Nugs fan because I don’t write stupid shit all over the place)? Let’s get crazy then if you want to get crazy! Oh, I forgot that is what you do when you post on denverstiffs.com! You just don’t stop though do you? Like the energizer bunny without reverse, you keep running into the wall over and over because you think you can insult the fandom of others and get away with it.
Seriously
I’m tired of going back and forth with you. I’m sincerely sorry for pushing your buttons but when I wrote
“Before anyone responds to this, please understand, im not asking or even talking about “in-fighting” on this site between fellow nuggets fans.

I actually meant it. I love you cause your a nuggets fan. That’s it.

Why you crying now?
You and your buddy blasted me over and over on that other post. Now you write about it in another and expect me not to say anything. You can’t say “this is not a personal attack on anyone” and then call me out and expect me not to say anything. Expecially with lying about me threatening to threaten you.
I disagree completely that a fan should be cocky, arrogant, and downright ridiculous. All of those traits are what make me dislike people. Those are the Laker fans in Colorado. Nugs fans generally chose to be more educated about ball and respectfull in life.
I will drop it now but if you choose to call me out again then you can expect me to be right back in the mixer with you.
Ummm
These guys must be like 16 years old or something
They argue like children. Not the points they make (pretty childish for sure) but more so the way they argue. Just keep coming after dude’s throats but we still show restraint because we think if we tell them what we really think of them that Nate or Andrew will either warn us or kick us off the site. I’m really close now to telling these two how I feel about them.

……you should seriously re-read stuff before you write. It actually helps.
With that said, I actually read your recent Melo post and thought it was right on. I’d love to comment further that everybody else stands around watching melo…drives me crazy, that they seem to be enabling him on some level…AND you’re 100% right about Karl getting that technical (kinda like the way SternfluffsKobe would respond)…. But it feels like now whatever I say you’re going to take it as sarcastic or provocative so I guess I’ll just leave it to you
And for the 6th time (go back and re-read) I have now apologized for getting under your skin.
I’m not sixteen years old. Which would probably explain the ability to mean I’m sorry when I say it.

Please explain to me how that is "threatening to threaten you"
Or just drop it and move on…
Really?
You are a gonna argue sytax? “if it weren’t for these damn rules and the possibility of getting kicked off the site, I’d tell these guys exactly how I feel”…that is implying that if it your able to personally attack me and that other guy ie: call us names, or whatever, you’d do it. Maybe threat is the word.
Are you seriously not going to take any of this on yourself? Do you REALLY lack that much self examination and your part in perpetuating it? How old are you? Seriously?
Take some responsibility for what you’ve written man.
The hypocrisy of your “so your allowed to bash Kobe but I’m not allowed to defend him?” shit is now fucking epic. Let me say what I wanna say and just leave me the fuck alone if you don’t like it.
Btw-how’s it feel to have people blasting your post about Carmelo…and then YOU have the audacity to tell people to re-read it because their overreacting to your opinion…?
Pot, meet kettle.

Good one
I couldn’t care less that people didn’t see what I did in the Clips loss. If people wanna say they disagree I am not going to attack them for it.
You attacked me over and over and I will keep coming after you until you realize what the fuck you are saying. You still sit there and talk shit. I never “threatend to threaten” you. You can go fly a kite if you think you can just change shit around and say I am arguing sytax (nice fucking word by the way). You said I “threatened to threaten” you and I said you are full of shit. If you didn’t talk shit I wouldn’t have talked shit.
Keep going, you’re gonna have a lot of fun on this site reading my hate every time you post!
uuuuuhhhhmmmm....
this is colorado, it always has been, and always will be pc to say fuck kobe bryant. fuck the lakers. fuck the staples center. fuck pau, fuck bynum, fuck artest. fuck phil jackson and the ten rings he rode in on. fuck the la sparks and fuck the la times. fuck jack nicholson and fuck the old wizard looking dude with white glasses that sits next to him. fuck lamar odom. fuck khloe kardashian. fuck the fake ass laker fans. fuck jerry buss. fuck geanie buss. fuck kurt rambis. fuck the pacific ocean and fuck disneyland. fuck their victory parades. oh yeah, and fuck the spurs.
can anyone point me in the direction of a curse jar? I think I need to drop $20 into it.

Gasus – November 21, 2009 reply
Anger management is available almost everywhere….
Wherefore didn’t you get on Calvin’s ass for saying, basically, “FUCK EVERYBODY”?
I have really gotten to you haven’t I? Sheesh!
I kinda like the fact that I wield so much influence on your mood!
Maybe if you spent more time responding to people who ACTUALLY attack you by saying that you should be on the stiff list you could get past all the passive/aggresive angst you have towards me.
Once again: when you say that if it weren’t for the rules you would really tell me how you feel about me, doesn’t that only constitute a personal attack that you couldn’t say?
And if I did indeed “personally attack” you, than how am I still able to post? Shouldn’t I have been kicked off by now? Hmmmm…I guess that we have a difference of opinion of what a personal attack is…
Oh, Gasus. If only you hated our opponents as much as you hate me, some people wouldn’t feel the urge to label you “fairweather”.
The responses about YOUR character that everyone else commented on your post should have you way more riled up than an attack on Kobe Bryant’s…right? It’s wierd.
But I digress….hey would it make you feel better if I changed my screenname to “gasusisalwaysright”? Cause I will, if you want.
I have great deal of respect for you. But you will not outlast me in stubborness. I’m REALLY good at it. That’s what you get from a 16-year-old though….
By-the-by, who gets the credit for tonite’s win?
Ps: sorry for misspelling syntax. I actually meant semantics. I know that grammer is a real “hot-button” issue….
