Green unis?
I’m sort of wondering if the Nuggs will continue wearing Green? I mean there are superstitions right???
About 23 minutes to tipoff…

Balkman to start ...
The Crime Stopper will bring the energy!
Keep the Wolves off the offensive glass …

Talking to myself for now ...
I’m rather used to talking to myself … I hope Nuggets faithful join me soon on here … tipoff is next! Marlowe just told me so.

NO LOVE?
Kevin Love isn’t going to play???
This is terrible … I wanted to see him play.

Nene opens up with 4 straight
Dallas slaughtered the Suns today … Phoenix is done.

Billups really wanted to take a 3 there … and made it! 7-4 Nuggs

Court...
Not sure how I feel about Minny’s court. Looks weird, but sort of cool.

Carney?
Can we put a body on this guy? Two threes
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:15 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Lets see if the Mavs can take the 7th seed.
I’d love to see the Nugs play the mavs…
and if the Jazz fell to the 8th seed and had to play the Lakers, I could not be more excited about the playoffs.

Playoffs...
I like it! I’m thinking the Mavs would be a good series … no cupcakes in these playoffs though.

Lakers vs. Jazz
I don’t think L.A. wants anything to do with the Jazz in Round 1 either.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:18 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
I don’t mind that Denver doesn’t have a cupcake to play – I’m just relieved that they aren’t a cupcake for another team, a la the Lakers last year.
by Missing Lynx on Apr 5, 2009 5:19 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
hahaha
Agreed. I think we match up well with the Mavs … though Josh Howard is getting healthy.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:20 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
we swept them in the regular season
I can’t not feel good about that matchup
by Missing Lynx on Apr 5, 2009 5:24 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I hear ya ...
Nuggs got one of those wins on that Billups leg kick foul fiasco!
We do tend to play the Mavs tough.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:28 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Lakers vs. Jazz this season 1-1
One game left.
Hornets are playing the Jazz as we speak … Go N.O!
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:22 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wolves w/ energy ...
Good timeout by Karl. Nuggs need to crank up the focus.
9 straight points for the Wolves.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:17 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
We need to start our bench, sick of watching the starters sleep walk.
by CCH on Apr 5, 2009 5:18 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
J.R. SWISH!!!
gUY IS INSANE!!! 1-1 FROM 3 …
7 straight points! For nuggs … 9 now! CRIME STOPPER!
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:23 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
We straight up have 2 of the top 5 sixth man of the year cantidates
JR and Birdman.
I put them 2 and 3 in the race after Terry…
Birdman is my darkhorse to win the award.
by Missing Lynx on Apr 5, 2009 5:26 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
I think a Nugget should take it over Terry … Terry does nothing but score.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:29 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I know, but thats how the award always goes...
usually whoever has the highest ppg off the bench in the NBA wins the award.
Personally, I think being in 2nd place in blocks in half the minutes of the guy in 1st place OFF THE BENCH is unheard of, and should earn Andersen the award. Its hard for a big man to win the award for some reason.

Nice run by Nuggs!
Got that lead back!
Blazers are playing the Rockets and are down early 11-17 …
Jazz up by early 23-17
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:27 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah and the Spurs lost earlier
The Nugs have to be close to locking up the 2 seed, if they haven’t already
by Missing Lynx on Apr 5, 2009 5:28 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Blazers still there
Nuggs have 26 losses … Blazers have 27 … so they are still right there. We take care of business on the schedule and I think we take the division.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:30 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I forgot about them
only 27 losses… thats closer than I thought, but I still think Denver takes the division.

MIke Miller?
Or is that Marcia Miller? Get a haircut hippy! haha

Sheldon Williams ...
Still not sure how that guy is with Candace Parker.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:33 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
1st Quarter ...
Nuggs up 27-20.
I can live with it. Just take care of business and the Wolves will disappear.

6th man winners...
Past winners in order: Hedo Turkyglue, Manu Ginobili, Barbosa (Suns), Mike Miller, Ben Gordan … on and on … yep pretty much just scorers. Anderson should get MAJOR recognition!
Bird’s hair is a mess today! haha

Big Man winners
The last “big man” winner was 2001-2002 when Corliss Williamson took the award.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:42 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I knew it
Its just hard for “Big Men” to get the award. They get no respect I tell ya, no respect. Rebounds/Blocks/Steals are undervalued in that award.

Brian Cardinal
Looks like the annoying guy at the YMCA with all the sweatbands and braces … what happened to that guy?

don't you know? he is the first YMCA --> NBA callup.

Nene should be having a 30 point game against the wolves bigs
by CCH on Apr 5, 2009 5:43 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Nene should put up bigger numbers ...
He claims he doesn’t like to shoot more than like 12 shots b/c he feels selfish … but gee they should feed that beast down low today. His career high is 28 … need to pump that up.

No gel for Green Week?
hahaha Bird…what a character.

Speaking of awards Chris Andersen should get
can anyone else say Defensive Player of the year?
G – Rajon Rondo
G – Dwayne Wade
F – Gerald Wallace
F – Chris Andersen
C – Dwight Howard
Any different list would be a shame.
by Missing Lynx on Apr 5, 2009 5:50 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Gerald Wallace had a nasty block the other night on Kobe I believe.
Like an idiot I think I’ve been spelling Andersen (Anderson) … whoops!!! What a mistake … I’m ashamed of myself.
Bird should be in the running for sure. I bet he wont be though.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:54 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I know he won't get it
but he deserves it
by Missing Lynx on Apr 5, 2009 5:57 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah I guess you're right
I suppose he gets the nod above Gerald Wallace, but I don’t like it haha
by Missing Lynx on Apr 5, 2009 5:53 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Now he's posting up and drawing fouls???
AAAAAACCCCCCeeeeeeeeeeeee
Make your free throws AC!!!!!!!!
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:55 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wow... I just looked up blocks per game leaders
Dwayne Wade is at #16. 1.34 blocks per game for the dude at 6’3"
by Missing Lynx on Apr 5, 2009 5:55 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
That's impressive.
Wade is nasty. I forgot how good he was up until the Nuggs played the heat in Denver earlier in the year. Not sure how I underappreciated him.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 5:58 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
He's a 6'3" guard with the power of Karl Malone
and flat out the best shot blocking guard EVER.
by Missing Lynx on Apr 5, 2009 6:00 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I just missed that block!
Got a text and looked down!!! EFFF!

Marlowe doing Bird calls on the air!

Billups ... sick pass to Nene
What a nice bounce pass. 57-40 Nuggos.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 6:02 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Man...wanted to see Earl throw it down there.
Melo’s outlet was a bit too far. Could have been a sick dunk for the Minny fans.

J.R.'s free throws
He needs to take a lesson from Billups and NOT bounce on his shots like he does. For anyone who has shot free throws you HAVE TO know to limit your motion for the best success. Guy should shoot like 90% from the FT line. Frustrating.
by Nate Timmons on Apr 5, 2009 6:06 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Looking at the scoreboards, I think I'd prefer to play NO in the first round actually.
by CCH on Apr 5, 2009 6:10 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
hahaha...I say NO to N.O.
I don’t want to see Chris Paul and his antics come playoff time. I actually don’t want to play anybody! haha
ROCKETS UP ON THE BLAZERS NOW!!!

Renaldo just needed a little time to warm up
I BELIEVE IN KOOL

Haha, weak ass tripping call.
Miller falls over his big goofy feet.

I got a hustle crush and his name is Balkman.
Also, running sky hook by Melo? Insane.
by shamp ooh on Apr 5, 2009 6:42 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Oh wow, then a legit effort for an offensive rebound?
Melo has his head in the game.

Sonny 3 alley oops
He’s got to have a positive per and he’s only out 2 minutes.

KLEIZA
EYES OPEN! WEEMS, FINISH YOUR OOPS! WTH

Sonny is fun to cheer for though.
It’s like watching a toddler take it’s first steps. You know he’s going to trip, but it’s great to watch him learn.
by shamp ooh on Apr 5, 2009 6:58 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Marlowe is trying to dissect the loss of a 30 point lead.
How about you just mention the use of the 4th as garbage time. Maybe that’s why we aren’t blowing them out right now?
by shamp ooh on Apr 5, 2009 7:05 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
2:40 left in this game
Wow, make it count Sonny, Johan, and Jason. Work your shot Linas. This late in the season, this game is so absurd.

Great game.
Great building block for further tightening up. Team is looking really good, GO NUGGETS!

Nice win
after SAS loss and POR loss, this win is awesome.
Our closer rival is SAS now, but they are 2 games behind (and we own the tiebreak)
Denver Nuggets looking awful good right now guys!!!
Portland is 3 games behind. we could clinch the division a couple of games before the last game in Portland!!
