Stiff List: 1-23-11 by Nate Timmons
- Those that missed SNO #5 - If you were in Denver and didn't attend Stiffs Night Out, YOU missed out on a great time, better game, and the chance to have won incredible tickets to the upcoming Raptors game!
- Carmelo Anthony - Stays at No. 2 because up until the 2:19 mark of the 4th quarter against the Nuggets, the Melo man was just 3-17 shooting! While he was great late (went 8-18 from the 2:19 mark until the end of the game)... it was his poor early play that helped sink the Knicks.
- Billy Cundiff - He missed a chip shot field goal (32 yards) that would have sent his Ravens into overtime against the Patriots, the kick sailed wide left and the Ravens lost. Maybe Cundiff needs to borrow some of Matt Prater's tattoos?
- GMs that passed on Iman Shumpert - A total of 16 teams passed on Shumpert in the 2011 NBA draft. As a rookie, he's averaging 12.3 ppg and went for 18 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds against the Nuggets. Who says rookies can't contribute?
- Kobe Bryant - Sure he was 14-30 shooting against the Pacers on Jan. 22nd, but he missed a three to tie it up with time winding down and the Lakers are now on a three-game losing streak. Without Kobe's 33 points, the Lakers would have been crushed ... but he missed a key shot and we haven't had a Laker on here for what seems like forever. Take that Kobe!

I don't have cable
And didn’t want to watch on a stream. That’s the only reason I went.
I had to drink myself silly to overcome my social anxiety and prob. made an ass of myself.
Def. ended up being a fun time.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
haha! Social anxiety is not fun!
But watching the Nuggets take down the Knicks with a bunch of hoops fans sure is!

My grandmother has it. First she forgot all her grandchildren. For I while I was my uncle to her. Then she forgot her husband was dead. Then she forgot her husband. Right now she is living out her teenage years.

I watched the game with my kids…my 3 year old kept asking who was winning the football game. “You like football, Daddy?”
haha! Kids are funny.
My buddy’s kid was trying to tell me the other day something totally inaccurate, can’t recall what it was, but made me laugh at how absurd it was … something about CU football I think. His dad has him totally brainwashed about how great CU football is. ha

You should put Cundiff and Kyle Williams together
Feel bad for both dudes, but I guess the Giant/Pats superbowl rematch was a destiny match. Kinda getting the sense the Pats will win if this is truly the divine intervention that is happening.
Hell to beat Tebow you have to have some kind of divine intervention.
Also to answer #4…GK definitely says rookies can’t contribute otherwise we would have a bench guy who would annoy the crap out of other team’s fans like DeJuan Blair, Carl Landry, or Paul Milsap to name a few. Plus we don’t even know what Hamilton will look like.
Jeez GK, give those guys some burn…please!!!!
Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'
+1 on the Manimal. I want to see what he can do aside from garbage time.

M
Um. When NFL kickers in the playoffs miss FGs they hit at a high percentage in the regular season, is that just nerves, or are they on the take of goons in Vegas?
Cos I’m not much for conspiracy theories, but sometimes the NFL seems about as real as pro wrestling.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
haha I have no idea ... I would venture to guess nerves as the kick probably isn't much different than a golf swing ...
… one slight mistake and WHOA TROUBLES!

Golf?
What is that? Is it even a sport if there is no running involved? I don’t think so.
Also: right before the kick, it sure looked like that Raven receiver had possession of the ball in the end zone before it was knocked away.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
Yes, Lee Evans did seem to have that ball!
I couldn’t believe they didn’t even review it! Had to be the folks upstairs to review it, not the Ravens. Unreal.

Another reason Melo deserves to be on the stiff list...
If he passes out to.. I think that is Fields, that is a good chance of a Knicks win, but he kept the ball and it slipped out of his hands out of bounds.

saw that twitter post linked to from P&T
Also saw a post from a former Stiff who abandoned ship & started rooting for the Knicks immediately after the trade. He was defending Melo from angry posters there, saying “How’s Melo supposed to pass the ball if nobody’s cutting or anything?” Remember how often that argument used to come up around here? Funny how that problem seems to have followed Melo to NY.
And in the meantime, the Nuggets are at the top of the league in assists-per-game.

I know 4, 5 regular Stiff posters who joined Posting and toasting
right after the trade and stopped posting here and posted there, I won’t call out any names though. We also have plenty of Russian, Italian and (yet to be seen, but they’ll come) Spanish fans coming to watch our team, so its a good trade-off if you ask me.

one of which
was Tony Douglas who hit 10 threes in a game once…. Melo is a scoring superstar, thats it… the rest of his game is not even mediocre, it flat out sucks. He’s very overhyped and I think NY Times calling him out on it recently is pretty accurate.

Stiff's #6, 7 and 8
Those 19 year olds who coincidentally all sat at the same table yet didn’t cheat in trivia… yeah, I’m sure they all 3 knew Todd Lichti was the Nuggets #1 pick in 1989… despite probably being born roughly 3 years after the fact. Just sayin…
Eh, enjoy the Raptors game behind the Nuggets bench kids! (I’m not really that bitter, life goes on and I had a good time regardless of any possible travischamockeries)

Yeah... the stiff-meister is slacking on the posting.
I suspect one of those 3, possibly Fly here, might have actually been a bastion of Nuggets knowledge… errrrr…. has ample “Nuggets of wisdom”…
Haven’t felt the magic w/ regard to posting much of late. I was actually talking to Thursty about that on Saturday. He said he has been doing more reading than posting as well. I will get more into it as the season progresses here. Still checkin out the articles you and those other 2 slappies post here though… still devoutly Stiff!

Does it bother anyone else that Nene is still constantly referred to as a Center by the media?

Not really
Since he plays more minutes as the biggest guy on the floor for the Nuggets than Denver’s two seven-footers.
Again, I don’t think the media is to blame so much as George Karl.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
I have to agree ... Nene plays the 5 a ton for Denver.
Pretty much the same as Tim Duncan … he is a 4 or a 5? Nene is now a 4/5.

Looks like the GMs are sheeple
Typical predictions, only interesting one I want to point out is they think Karl runs the best offense, even though he has no half court sets and relies on the 2 PG lineup.
I wouldn’t trust this survey as I said the GMs are sheeple and just feeding the media predictions that it wants. Although I do agree Pop is the best coach and if we had him this team is a guaranteed title contender, not an iffy one like it is with Karl.

they are a far better team when he scores less. he's a stiff, just like melo.
by Patrick KB. Nugget on Jan 23, 2012 6:58 PM MST up reply actions
Not quite
Since basketball games are won by teams scoring more than the other team, a player who scores a lot is never a problem or a detriment to his team.
The problem isn’t the points but the way Melo gets those points: through being a volume shooter. Kobe and Melo are not the only ones, the league is full of them: Tyreke Evans, John Wall, Kevin Love, I could go on and on.
It’s the shooting that’s the problem, not the scoring.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
It has been more than a week since Kobe has done that (1/14 vs Clippers was the last one) ...
And this is a weekly list! Last week the Lakers went 1-3 and have lost three in a row. Not very difficult to put up points against the Suns, Jazz, Cavs, and Clippers (Billups on Kobe? Caron Butler? Ha!). Funny how the Lakers faced four tough teams last week: Mavs, Heat, Magic and Pacers and put up a lousy record while Kobe’s shot attempts didn’t take a major dip!!!!!
Bam!

you should add the stiffs list to the stiffs list
used to be a time where you actually talked about the stiffs on the nuggets team instead of using the list as a platform for your non nuggets agenda. melo has been gone long enough and you still have butt-hurt over him. add yourself to this list too.
Nah
As long as I can remember the Stiff list is broad and inclusive, ready and willing to recognize Stiffs from all over the country and any sport.
Of course, the preoccupation with Melo is a little weird but understandable. We just can’t get enough Schadenfreude here.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
Yeah, the Stiff List from a couple weeks ago was actually all Nuggets related, the one I did last time … so you’re speaking of a time from just a couple weeks ago?
I know we can’t please everyone with everything we do, so I guess you are the grumpy one this week. You’ll get over it I’m sure. I believe in you! The Stiff List has always been about anything going on during the week that should make the list … it’s kinda sorta my blog, so I’ll continue to do what I want.
