PrintDenver Nuggets at Philadelphia 76ers, Dec 7, 2009 5:00 PM MST
When assessing the Nuggets schedule back in October, who knew that they'd cap off their first quarter of the season with a game rife with so much intrigue? As Kenny Smith said on last Thursday's "NBA on TNT" pregame show, Monday night's Nuggets/76ers game is a "shut-the-door, tell-your-wife-and-kids-to-leave-you-alone" type game. I wonder why...
I still have my Allen Iverson Nuggets bobble head doll displayed prominently atop my bookshelf alongside a basketball autographed by the 1989-90 Nuggets (which my friend Justin claims ruins the value of the actual basketball), a framed collection of the Nuggets 1981-82 Topps card set and a few more "Nuggets" of memorabilia. I loved Iverson when he played for the Nuggets and love that he's back in the NBA. But of course - and perhaps amazingly - I love that he's not a Nugget anymore.
Make no mistake about it. When the Nuggets acquired Iverson on December 20, 2006 in exchange for point guard Andre Miller, power forward Joe Smith and two first round draft picks, I was elated. Like many Nuggets fans, I was convinced that the Nuggets overwhelmingly got the better end of the deal and were going to contend with the Lakers for the Western Conference crown for years to come. I remember my friend and fellow season ticket holder Dan sending an email around to a bunch of us Nuggets fans proclaiming "basketball dynasties follow me wherever I go!" (he had just moved back to Denver from Los Angeles at the time).
Upon arrival in Denver on a very snowy night in December, it appeared as though Iverson gave us more than our money's worth as ticket-paying fans: he hustled tirelessly, never stopped moving, played hard, took big shots, made big shots and kept the Nuggets afloat as they had been ravaged by suspensions to Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith after the "Madison Square Garden Melee" brawl. With Iverson leading the way, the shorthanded Nuggets finished a respectable 7-8 during Melo's 15-game absence (although the Nuggets did suffer an embarrassing, one-sided home loss to Miller's 76ers during that stretch) and in his first 50 games as a Nugget, Iverson averaged 24.8 ppg, a career second best 45.4% shooting from the field along with 7.2 apg and almost two steals per game. Almost immediately, Iverson was cementing his status as the second best shooting guard to ever wear a Nuggets uniform behind David Thompson and ahead of Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, another undersized shooting guard who technically started at point guard like Iverson.
When Melo returned from the suspension, I too thought we had a new Nuggets dynasty on our hands that would match the Alex English/Fat Lever Golden Era of Nuggets basketball. But after playing just five games together, Iverson would be beset by injuries that knocked him out of eight of the next nine games. With 31 games to go, Melo and Iverson would finally pair up for 30 of them (Iverson rested in the final game). For the first 20 of those games, the Nuggets lost 11 but ended up finishing strong - hence head coach George Karl's statement to me that "they always put together seasons" - winning nine straight games and 10 of their final 11. Their reward? A first round playoff exit won easily by the eventual champion Spurs, even though the Nuggets stole Game 1 in San Antonio.
Entering the 2007-08 season with both Iverson and Melo healthy (and no pending suspensions!), the talk around the Mile High City was of a 60-win season and a deep playoff run. But as much as we loved watching Iverson play, something just wasn't right with Nuggets basketball while the diminutive superstar was in town, and we couldn't quite put our finger on it. Even with a healthy Melo, Marcus Camby, J.R. Smith, Linas Kleiza and Kenyon Martin, the Iverson-led Nuggets almost missed the 2008 playoffs entirely, squeaked into an eighth-seeded matchup and were swept - embarrassingly - by the Los Angeles Lakers in four walkover games. Worse, the Nuggets were either first or second in the league in personal fouls, technical fouls, flagrant fouls and ejections that seasons. It all came to a head during Game 3 of that Lakers series when we witnessed Melo publicly barking at Karl and Karl benching Iverson for the fourth quarter. It was ugly. Dave Krieger's column at the time went as far as referring to Karl as a "zookeeper", noting that the Nuggets had run amok on their head coach.
(On a side note, I had the misfortune of being in attendance for both Games 1 and 2 played in Los Angeles and I'll never forget the expression on Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke's face during those games. In both contests none of the Nuggets - Iverson included - showed up to play and the Lakers never broke a sweat en route to two straight blowout wins. Sitting just a few rows above the Nuggets bench, Kroenke stood there stoically throughout both games as if he was thinking: "This is what I just spent $83 million on?! This?!!")
Perhaps we were blinded by Iverson's undeniably solid effort on the floor, because many of us - me included - never faulted him for the Nuggets shortcomings. But the evidence was right in front of us. Along the way to that playoff sweep, anyone who followed the Nuggets in Denver had heard the rumors about Iverson's off-court partying, the alcohol-on-the-plane story was routinely brought up on Denver sports radio and we heard the whispers about Iverson influencing Melo and the younger, more impressionable J.R. in all the wrong ways off the court. We've even learned since that Iverson was granted special permission by the Nuggets to skip some practices (kudos to Denver Stiffs reader GottaLoveMelo for finding this). As Iverson's tenure in Denver went on, it was clear that he was indeed a leader - but not the kind that the Nuggets brass, coaching staff and us fans had hoped he would be. And nothing made Iverson's inability to lead the Nuggets in a positive fashion more clear than that playoff sweep combined with what has happened since his departure (and replacement by Chauncey Billups, the definition of a true leader).
Little did we know that on December 20, 2006, with all the optimism that swept into Denver upon Iverson's arrival, that we wouldn't revive the glory of the English/Lever Golden Era until Iverson left...less than two years after acquiring "The Answer", no less.
But while we've moved on to better times in Denver, Iverson's career has floundered mostly due to his own mishaps, making it even clearer that he was greatly at fault for the Nuggets struggles during his time in Denver. Since leaving Denver for Detroit in the Chauncey Billups deal (a trade I argued was the fourth-best in Nuggets history, but might now be considered third), Iverson has been petulant, selfish, angry and downright stupid. In Detroit, where he was in theory playing for his last big NBA payday, Iverson just couldn't keep his mouth shut, griped about coming off the bench and was essentially asked to stay away from the team for the remainder of the season and into the playoffs. Had Iverson just been a professional in Detroit, he wouldn't have had to spend all summer scrounging for another job in the NBA only to find the lowly Memphis Grizzlies as the only team willing to sign him because he was the owner's wife's favorite player (that's not a joke, by the way...welcome to professional basketball in Memphis!).
Lucky to score the gig in Memphis, Iverson was petulant there, as well. Missing the first few games of the season and recovering from a hamstring injury, Iverson immediately bitched about minutes and coming off the bench again. After a mere three games in a Grizzlies uniform, Iverson had left the team "for personal reasons" (always a bullshit excuse that franchise PR guys attempt to sell the media on while they work out trades and/or releases of players) and eventually was released prompting the most phony "retirement" this side of Brett Favre.
Good fortune - perhaps! - has smiled on Iverson, however. With 76ers point guard Lou Williams breaking his jaw and due out for eight weeks, the 76ers were suddenly in the market for a guard. Oh, and being third-to-last in league attendance had the 76ers in the market for a star guard. So in the irony of ironies, Iverson will be returning to the franchise he carried, killed for, fought with, demanded to be traded from, complained about, you name it, by re-appearing in a Philadelphia 76ers jersey on Monday night against none other than our Denver Nuggets. (And making things even more serendipitous for the NBA, Iverson plays the Pistons just two nights later.) What should have been a regular season walkover win for the Nuggets over the struggling 76ers, losers of nine straight, has become must-see-TV. This will be a hard fought game as Iverson's teammates - new and old - will desperately want to win in his debut which is sure to be a sellout, as well.
Even though I think Iverson is selfish and never want to see him in a Nuggets uniform again, I can't help but root for the guy. I'm a sucker for his game and I applaud him for always being true to himself, faults and all. And his tearful, heartfelt press conference last week was proof that the passion for basketball still burns inside this former superstar (only two seasons removed from averaging 26.4 ppg, as Melo astutely pointed out last week). But putting his individual passion aside, Iverson remains a conundrum for organizations, coaches and teammates. He's a diva, pure and simple, and likes to play by his own set of rules. Has Iverson finally had enough humble pie to make a real go of it with the 76ers and rescue them from their woeful ways? It's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it.
The Wachovia Center tomorrow night (an early start for Denver fans, 5:05pm MDT on Altitude and NBATV) will be filled to the brim with emotions. It should be noted that our Nuggets haven't played well recently in these types of emotion-heavy regular season games: they lost to the Knicks in their return to Madison Square Garden after the brawl, lost at home in Miller's debut as a 76er after the Iverson trade, lost in Philadelphia in Iverson's return there as a non-76er for the first time and lost to the Pistons twice last season - at Detroit and in Denver - after the momentous Iverson-for-Billups trade. Like most of those aforementioned games, I suspect tomorrow night's contest against Iverson will go down to the wire and could end up being one of the more exciting games of the season.
It will be great seeing "The Answer" lace up his sneakers on an NBA court again. It will be even better if the Nuggets can remind him why they're much better off without Allen Iverson.
SCOUTING THE 76ERS...
76ers Stiffs
-Elton Brand: I used to love Brand and still believe he was cheated out of two All-Star appearances simply because he played for the Clippers. But Brand should have stayed with the Clippers instead of screwing them at the behest of his egomaniacal, has-been agent David Falk, and signing with the 76ers. Since joining the 76ers, Brand has ruptured his Achilles tendon and has returned this season to average a career low 12.3 ppg, 6.7 rpg and 44.6% shooting. Karma - as they say - is indeed a bitch.
-Samuel Dalembert: Armed with an $11.4 million contract that goes up to $12.4 million next season, Dalembert's 6'11", 250-pound body can muster only 6.0 ppg, 7.5 rpg and he's "shooting" a career-low 43.8% from the field.
-Jason Smith: I probably shouldn't pick on one of the few players ever from a Colorado-based university to make it to the NBA, but Smith is a Stiff...and not just because he's white (although it admittedly helps). This seven-foot Colorado State alum is making only 41% of shots and grabbing just under three rebounds per game. Huh? How can a seven-footer play 15-and-a-half minutes a game, shoot 41% and grab just three boards?
76ers Non-Stiffs
-Louis Williams: As predicted in my fantasy preview, "Lou" Williams was having a fine season before fracturing his jaw bone, averaging 17.4 ppg on a most respectable 49.7% shooting to go along with 5.1 apg and almost two steals per game. Unfortunately for Williams, things could get weird upon his return if/when Iverson refuses to cede minutes at the small guard spot.
-Andre Iguodala: The "other A.I." is shooting a career low 42.2% from the field but is still a dangerous scorer and a well-rounded player, averaging career highs in rebounding (6.9 rpg), assists (6.0 apg) and steals (2.1 spg).
-Thaddeus Young: Young has found his way on to my fantasy team roster for the second year in a row. He's solid, not spectacular but good for 15-17 ppg and about four or five rebounds.

The Answer?
First of all Andrew, that was an excellent piece of blogging.
All the vector’s and nuance’s going into the Nuggets-76ers game tomorrow were succinctly captured in your post. Well done.
Really the only point I want to make is this: Yes Iverson is a diva and the Nuggets are better without him. But: That Denver managed to be competitive and relatively drama-free in the Iverson era compared to his time in Philly before the trade to Denver and his stops in Detroit and Memphis is a testament to George Karl’s ability to manage players.
He didn’t try to force Iverson to be the point guard he would have wanted. He didn’t bench him for a better defender. He let him play, for better or for worse. And let me say that the one full season he played here was bad, but not end-of-the-world bad. Yes, Denver was an eight seed, but the West, recall, was stacked that year.
I hope returning to Philly helps that franchise and helps Iverson end his tumultuous career on a good note. But I do not expect the game to be as close. The Answer is admittedly rusty and the Nuggets are rolling.
All good points...
As I said in Part 3 of my series after spending time with George Karl, I have renewed respect and admiration for how Karl (and Larry Brown) handled Allen Iverson.
That said, I’ll forever believe that the Nuggets had no business being an 8th-seed at the end of the 2007-08 season. Lest we forget the number of inexcusable losses to bad teams they had that season and the very few wins they had against great teams to balance it out. Yes, 50 wins is always an achievement in the NBA. But not when you’re expected to win 55-ish…

Quick question Andrew...
Wat exactly did Melo say about Iverson last week?.. “(only two seasons removed from averaging 26.4 ppg, as Melo astutely pointed out last week)”. I heard Scott Hastings mention it a little bit during the last game but i didnt really pick up on what he actually said… Could you help me out a bit plz?? Thanks and good posts!

Melo's quote on A.I....
I’m having trouble finding the exact quote because the Post’s Nuggets archives only go back to 12/5, but I read it and heard it on TV. When the news broke that Iverson was “retiring,” Melo said something like “people forget that he was averaging almost 27 points per game just two years ago” and they showed it on Altitude and I saw it in the Post.

here is the full quote
“It’s a messed up way to go out,” Anthony said. “It’s not like he wanted to do it. He was almost forced to do it. Just two years ago, he averaged 27 when he was with us. We won 50 games in the regular season with him. I don’t see how he can lose his game in a year and a half. He’s been doing it for a long time.”
I think Melo knows A.I. has still got it and should still be in the league

the sixers blog is funny
that guy absolutely hates the 76ers and can’t even be a little bit excited about iverson’s debut. fits the philly stereotype I guess.

Philly made the playoffs last 2 years
They gave Orlando a hell of a fight last year. It’s a hugely disappointing year for them. The management has made some bad moves. They need to trade Dalembert and Brand for something – anything. I wouldn;t want to be a sixer fan right now. They may be better off with a really good draft pick and developing Speights, Young, and Holiday.

as a liberty ballers member
i must say that his take on the sixers is due to the futility of the head coach and GM to even make one good basketball decision. So much talent, so little defense and so little rebounding
It's business
I always respected A.I. but I lost a lot of that during his pathetic stints with Detroit and Memphis. Isn’t it peculiar that Memphis started winning after Allen quit on them too? He still has a lot left but it’s disappointing that winning doesn’t seem to mean much unless he is at the center of it. The best thing about Iverson in Denver was the arrival of Chauncey Billups, that’s all Nugs fans should take from it. Without his expiring deal we don’t get Chaunce.
The Nuggets should win this game. I had some doubts after the Twolves game but the Nuggets have proved to me that they do have heart. Denver doesn’t even have to play well, a good effort should do it. It will be an emotional game for Philly but this isn’t a Disney movie. Sixers are ahead of only the Nets at the bottom of the east right now. They may get it back on track but not tonight.
Hey hey!!! Alright!
Welcome back Runningdonut…see, the sky isn’t falling. Also, Minnesota has been in quite a few games so far and just beat Utah…
Go Nuggets!

Word up sfr
After I watched that loss I had to call this team out because when you are rooting for a team that doesn’t play hard, its the worst. Nuggets responded with 3 wins and 2 of the best played games of the season. One bad loss is a drop in the ocean but I tried to point out the little things I thought the Nugs didn’t have compared to teams like the Lakers, it wasn’t lack of ability or talent. Nugs are playing confidence inspiring ball right now, hopefully they proved that game was an exception.
The media will make a big deal of this game, Nuggets just have to embrace what made them successful pretty much from the minute Iverson left. They’ve been doing it for over a year now. I will be shocked if Iverson comes on and fixing all of the sixers problems right now.
denver cannot screw around
they need to get off to great start and not let up. if philly thinks they can play and compete and manage to stay close anything is possible with ai at the end. nuggets need to be disciplined in the half court offense and make philly play defense in the first half. billups needs to cut out the transition 3 point shot and try to post up ai. a full house, national tv and a ton of emotion it will be easy for denver to get caught up in the moment. sixers will have the element of surprise on their side.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
Good point
You don’t want to get into a close game or just be trading buckets at the end with the energy and emotion in that building. Thing is, if the Nuggets play just a little bit of defense they will win. If Philly wants a running game we should win that too. The sixers with Allen but all Denver has to do is use their momentum and play the same way they’ve been playing. Getting caught up in all this hype around it is for the birds, AI is 34 he had a good moment or 2 in Denver but he is the enemy now.

Really looking forward to this one. Can’t wait to step into enemy territory at the Wachovia Center. After years of rooting for the visiting team in the heart of Philly you tend to cherish the insults and bashing that comes with the territory. Some of the trash talk is really creative.

a game ripe with so much intrigue?
Andrew, I hate being the language police, I really do, but the word you want there is “rife” not “ripe”.
My major concern with this game is the Donaghy stuff. I’m concerned that the NBA/Stern may send down the edict that the 76s are supposed to win for the PR boost it would give. They could say, “see? We treat AI fairly. They wouldn’t have won otherwise.” On the other hand their reasoning may be that if they have the Nuggets win, They can say “See? All you guys who were expecting us to fix the game were wrong.” It can be rationalized all over the place and round and round. This game came at a really bad time for the NBA. They have to be nervous about it and have got to be wishing it came down before the Donaghy stuff on 60 Minutes and his book. Otherwise this game is a great promotion for the NBA.

I’m just glad you don’t get mad about that stuff. As I mentioned in another thread, I tend to read what is there instead of what the author meant and I find it confusing sometimes. I think a lot of others do manage to read what the author meant instead of what is actually there and they don’t have a problem. I don’t know how a got so literal. The writer of the article that was linked elsewhere here about Iverson getting to skip practice with Denver; wrote about there being such “Perks” in other sports. That didn’t make sense until I realized that he meant the colloquial “perqs” which isn’t really a word but is meant to be short for perquisites. He got an email from me about that.

76er fan here from libertyballers
No offense meant and I know this is my first post of your site, but your scouting is a little off when it comes to Elton Brand.
I know numbers don’t lie, but Eddie Jordan is a damn fool. We have basically been playing a small lineup every since Brand got hurt and EJ has been bringing EB off the bench. Elton has actually looked really good since coming back from his hamstring issue, and I’m really hoping that you’ll see a lot more of him tonight with the way the Nuggets get after rebounds with Martin and Nene.
Also, lots of 76er fans would tell you that Thad is just soft, and if he’s playing the 4 tonight against Kenyon Martin you can be sure that he’ll be exposed on the boards. He has no tenacity when it comes to rebounding, and just the opposite can be said for KMART; he’s a beast.
I have been a long supporter of the Denver Nuggets even before they acquired Iverson two years ago (who is my favorite player), mainly because Mello’s jumpshot is just so nice, and he’s the only one that I really want to win an NBA title left in the league (I hate Kobe’s guts).
First night of 3 games in 4 days for the Nuggets, so I think they’ll pull this one out due to rebounding, just like everyone else. Also, the Sixers LOVEEE to give up the three and Denver can certainly shoot it. So all in all, AI probably goes for about 22 in a 114-103 Nuggets win, extending the losing streak to 10 games.
76er fans like me can just hope Iverson doesn’t help too much so we can stay in the John Wall sweepstakes :D
good luck, go 76ers
ancient chinese secret
Brand really destroyed K-Mart in the 06 playoffs when he was in his prime. He made it look easy in such a dominating fashion that K-mart basically quit on George Karl and the Nuggets. Brand hasn’t been the same since those years and Kenyon really adjusted his attitude since then. But yeah, I still hate Elton Brand.
by runningdonut on Dec 7, 2009 11:27 AM MST up reply actions
the thing is
Elton won’t be playing PF and Kenyon is the starting 4 right? You’re most likely going to see Thad young against Kenyon Martin, KMART is going to eat him up. Unless Eddie Jordan pulls his head out of his ass and plays the lineup of Iverson/Iggy/Thad/Elton/Dalembert the Sixers are going to be undermanned and undersized the entire game.
From Scott Hastings on Twitter
Nugs n philly, underground word is ai may not go, says he doesn’t feel ready. Not sure if its a ploy or what, managment wants him to play
Melo knew this!
I think it was the Denver Post, Melo was pretty coy about Iverson playing, making it seem like he knew something.
comcast
i read in sport illustrated that the comcast ceo forced the sixers to bring back ai. the basketball people were against it. this was rumored to be a sell tickets decision versus basketball merit.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
I feel fortunate
to have been able to watch AI on a regular basis while he played for the Nuggets. I really did not have the opportunity to see him play much other than when he buried us with a dagger in what 2004? As an athlete and a basketball player he is very special. I’m glad he’ll be able to finish his career in Philly where they can retire his number.
We need early points in the paint tonight to quell the rush. Should be good from there.
Chauncey!?!
I could not believe that he mentioned CB! This guys is the definition of a “Douchebag.” I cannot believe that he put his family in this situation let alone fixed NBA games. It will be difficult to watch games now without at least thinking about what Tim said in this interview. Credible or not – it will be tough.
It's one of two things
I watched this interview a couple of times and I have to believe that Tim is telling the truth (mostly). For one his body language is confident, and he showed no signs of fabrication i.e. darting eyes, self assurance by touch, or long pauses to gather his thoughts. This is because of one of two things. Either he’s telling what he thinks is the truth, or he’s a damn good liar. Maybe it’s because he’s been gambling a while but he has no tells. The only suspect actions I saw is that he seems to glance down (toward his lap) on three seperate occasion while being questioned. Either he was gathering his thoughts, or looking at notes.
I can’t say he’s telling the truth 100%, but it didn’t seem like he was lying. IMO
The examples he used had a hint of truth to them too: AI, Sheed, Chauncey, Kobe (mentioned in the 60 minutes interview) All of them are swaggerific to borderline cocky. We’ve seen all of these guys jar at the refs. Even when AI was here, if Steve Javie (sp) was a ref we knew it was gonna be a long night. And CB1 doesn’t look like the type to back down from anyone, including an official. Just sayin’.
Hmm
Maybe AI still has tears in his eyes and can’t see the basket….
He REALLY needs to play this game if only to show that he is a standup guy who’s there for his new team…He plays so hard on the court that he could likely make a show of it even if he truly wasn’t ready…you think?

PS Guys
The NBA is supposedly “cracking down” on links like this on SBnation and other fan blogs, so be careful in the future…don’t want to get Andrew/Nate in hot water.
Swats.
Yeah
Don’t post the actual link. Bad news. Suggesting a site like atdhe might (wink wink) have it isn’t as bad, I wouldn’t think.
This is going to be such an interesting game
Let’s not kid ourselves, Sixers need seats filled and AI boosts that by a huge margin, and good for him!
Now, Melo, go out and show him who’s boss :)
Dear Rockies - Thank you for a wonderful rollercoaster of a season! NL Wild Card Champs. Best turnaround in MLB history for a team to win the Wild Card. Can't wait to do it again next year!

Gonna be a good game tonight
Hopefully Iggy doesn’t blow up on us. I think Iverson is gonna be pumped emotionally for a Philly return, but he is rusty from not playing. Sixers dont have any other threats to really compete.
Nuggets win, 105-90.

the nuggets need to attack the basket
i hate when the chuck up long range several trips in a row down the floor
Lead by Kenyon, no less, urg
He looked good to start the season but he obviously doesn’t have a real midrange game and never really has. Cmon Kenyon, drive the paint, the Sixers do not have a strong interior other than Dalembert
Swats.
We are not doing a bad job
they have been on fire.
Iguodala wont make 3s like that all night long. Theres no problem yet, we are fine

he aint hurt, he got up running

Kenyon's tough, he doesn't always show his injuries
Remember when he was playing with a dislocated finger and cracked ribs? Yeah, it isn’t so easy to brush off after you watch a fall like that
Swats.
he got up running guys, no prob for him I guess

Well, it’s just that all this thread turned into on Saturday was a running complaint about officiating… Meanwhile, Spurs fans had some similar complaints.
You can’t complain about the calls that go against your favorite team without acknowledging that, hey, maybe you benefit from some inaccurate calls as well.
most of the ref complaints were from the first half
I’m guessing the spurs complaints were from the 2nd half, where nugs did get some calls

Guys the good thing is about 5 point lead or so
at halftime and we have shot terrible. A tale of two halves lets hope for 70 points in the 2nd.
Exactly.
This game is far from over, we’ve looked sloppy at times but we are better than the 76ers. Melo will find his stroke and failing that I expect Afflalo and Lawson to step up.
Swats.

this looks horrible
"Do not rest in defense. You can spend 24 seconds in offense on resting. If you do good enough on defense, you will be able to rest on offense."
the offense is just absent
"Do not rest in defense. You can spend 24 seconds in offense on resting. If you do good enough on defense, you will be able to rest on offense."
Melo is just 5-18... are you serious?
"Do not rest in defense. You can spend 24 seconds in offense on resting. If you do good enough on defense, you will be able to rest on offense."
well guys, time to bet.
are we pulling this one out?
"Do not rest in defense. You can spend 24 seconds in offense on resting. If you do good enough on defense, you will be able to rest on offense."
I say...
My suvjective says we come back and battle it out and win by no more than 5..
My objective opinion says we lose by 10.
melo is getting fouled
and not getting off good shots, of course calling the ticky tack shit for AI on the other end
WHY DO YOU TAKE A J WHEN YOU GOT KAPONO

lets play some D now and close the quarter with a basket, come on
"Do not rest in defense. You can spend 24 seconds in offense on resting. If you do good enough on defense, you will be able to rest on offense."
Ty Lawson
Is the only one willing to put in enough effort to keep Allen Iverson in front of him on D. It’s nice to see after watching JR/Melo/Kmart get blown by and try to reach in all game
big job ty
"Do not rest in defense. You can spend 24 seconds in offense on resting. If you do good enough on defense, you will be able to rest on offense."
Everyone remember to root for the Packers tonight, a win by them over Baltimore helps us in the playoff chase.
now dont let them score
"Do not rest in defense. You can spend 24 seconds in offense on resting. If you do good enough on defense, you will be able to rest on offense."

Didn't
AI have a streak like this one too, that Melo could’ve broken? Remember hearing something about that.
Yup.
Thing with these streaks is that the longer they go on, the more pressure there is to maintain them and you can get lost. We got the win, that’s good enough.

I’m glad the streak is over. Now it’s no longer an issue. Good decision to go with the Ty/CB/JR lineup when we won
the fact that he didn't score tons
and we still won the game shows we have other options,

OK, I’ve said it already but I’ll say it again. Everyone use your Karmic persuasion skills to root for the Cheeseheads (Packers) to beat the Ravens. It helps the boys in their quest for a playoff spot.
Haha no worries! You just have to root double hard and possibly perform a ceremony for the Pack to win…

Yeah, I agree
Parker/Ginobili/Hill/Mason are up there too though. All, other than Manu, are pretty young too.
CB1, TyLaw, AA, JR
over and guards on any team in the NBA yes indeed. With two strong PF (Nene, KMart) and a top 2 SF in the league (the other being Lebron) we will present matchup problems for every team.
