After Friday Night
I want all of the Laker car flags in LA to disappear at least for another 11 months or so.

As Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore would say..........
“I love the smell of haters in the morning. It smells like… Lakers victory.”
haters
Is such a strong word. How about “really really dislikers?”

Fine
Been clean of you know what comments for one full game plus now. And you?

Doing well. Getting ready to leave the office so I can make it home by about the end of the first quarter.
Which would make me the typical Los Angeles fan.
You know, a few more games and we might have to get you a chip or something for being “comment clean”.

As long as pics of Gasol whining
Are OK, then I’m good. I’m nervous about tonight. Optimistic, but nervous. I just know that right now if the Nugs play well they can beat anyone anywhere. They just need to play the game right. Which they did, for the most part, the other night. Game 3? Notsomuch.

I’m all about the whining pics. All that stuff is good.
Not to start any trouble but seeing how the Cavs/Magic series is playing out even though the reffing has been equally bad for and against both teams, if there was ever one game where it might be a perfect case for the refereeing to possibly be completely one-sided…..
This might be it.
I’m just sayin’.
All I want is for the officiating to be fair and consistent. And I do think it has swung in both directions this series, and been very inconsistent. Of course, though my lighter blue and gold glasses, I think the Nugs have received the short end more often than not, but I doubt we’ll see eye to eye on that.

It has been “fair and consistent”. “Fair and consistent” for each team at home. I can easily see the physical play that the refs were allowing both squads in Denver (which definitely favors the Nuggs) to be totally disallowed in LA (which definitely favors the Lakes).
I’m thinking Dahntay with 3 by the start of the 2nd quarter? Or Nene with 3 by the middle of the 2nd quarter?
So
Which DeRailed Ink T-Shirt are you going to buy?

Then obviously you didn’t get the gist of what I wrote. You should be prepared for one of the two scenarios I gave you.
by DJ Bento Box on May 27, 2009 6:29 PM MDT up reply actions
I don’t mind if they call ticky-tack fouls like that, if they call it consistently. In that same 5 minute span, Ariza was all over Melo, pushing and slapping, but there was no call.
Are you talking about our HOME GAME when that happened? The game at STAPLES CENTER?

You’re making excuses for him. I truly believe they haven’t moved him because he and Kobe go back to the AAU days.
by DJ Bento Box on May 27, 2009 6:46 PM MDT up reply actions
I think they just did. That guy eats a truly unbelievable amount of candy. He said he wakes up in the middle of the night and eats a handful of skittles then goes back to sleep. 24/7 the dude eats candy.

That’s always comforting to know. A guy we as fans count on to help carry us to a championship has more of a junk food jones than Kirstie Alley after a month in a weight loss camp.
Grrrrreat.

It’s pretty weird when every game of this series has been the hugest in franchise history.
GO NUGGETS
Going up early always makes me nervous with this Nuggets team.

Melo looks good
He’s going down low despite the fact he’s had trouble finishing in the paint. Still, he’s at least going to draw some fouls when he’s looking to get position like that
refs?
I’m not sayin’ anything…I’m just sayin’.

Dahntay
I’m ready to see this guy get reduced to spot minutes in this series. Despite being not that good he’s gotten way too much attention lately even for Nuggets fans
Inside
If the Nene, Kmart and Birdman play tonight the way they did in game 4, they win.
Billups wants to win!!!!

How about the ten fouls on the Lakers in the last two minutes that weren’t called? I guess the Nugs will have to beat the Lakers and the refs tonight. I’m really tired of talking about the refs…but when it’s this bad I can’t help it.
"C" is for Championship...that's good enough for meeeee!!!
So long as it's called even both ways I have no issue.

Pretty good start once again. Teams tied up and Denver doesn’t allow for the Laker crowd to have too much to be excited about.
I’ll take it. Now get Billups back in there and let’s get Nene scoring!! Melo time as well and J.R. and Billups and Kenyon and gee we have a lot of firepower!!!!

is there a rule that you cant score more than 3 pts?

I didn't see the play
but only 3 if one guy makes a shot and another gets fouled on the same play

I'm a Nuggets fan, and I would agree that it's not as bad as some are portraying.
But it could be subjective.
sweetness
"Have you ever heard of the emancipation proclamation?"
- "I don't listen to hip-hop"
"Born like this / Into this"
I know.
I just think you’re reading too much into the comment. I don’t take the phrase “drawing a foul” to mean getting a foul called where there wasn’t one. To me it means, making a move that causes the opponent to foul you. And I think that’s what the announcer meant.
you know
he’s no kobe, but I really really dislike Luke Walton
On the bright side: The Nugs overcame absolutely horrific, one-sided officiating and numerous turnovers and mistakes to take a tied game into half.
"C" is for Championship...that's good enough for meeeee!!!
Tie is fine
Yeah, I agree. Tied in LA, with the Lakers knowing they are in deep shit if they loose this one? The Nuggs are rebounding well. If they start scoring on more of their inside shots, they will win.
JR still made the right play
Vujacic can’t shoot his way out of a wet paper sack.
