Feb. 21: Stiff List

Are the nuggets in the best shape? they say that players get hurt when they are not in shape and yes you might say because of the type of off season its been but its seems in the past couple of years the injury bug has biten the nuggets more than other teams can you contribute that to us noting being in the best shape because of the teams work out programs???

February is almost over. it is the shortest month. Yay!

Except this year it has an extra day. Probably just to spite Nuggets fans.

the camera ppl are too close. Ty shoulda kicked them lol

Couldn’t agree more with each point

I would argue teh officiating in the Memphis, OKC and Minny game. George Karls end of game coaching is always a nominee for the stiff list. Royce Young has no idea what hes talking about… ever… he s a biased opinionated and like you said “salty” individual when it comes to social media and voicing his opinion. For the ankles, maybe it has something to do with the teams equipment? I know certain players are sponsored by certain companies but i know not every NBA player has their own NBA shoe. So for the rest of the players who don’t have their custom shoe are they given shoes by the team? Do they buy them on their own? How does it work, because if every player is wearing teh same shoe, or same company then that could be a factor. February sucks in general. Its cold, there are midterms (3 this week =/) and a lot of teams are dealing with injuries. Can’t wait for March!

To hope for Kevin Durant and Westbrook to tear an ACL or break a leg or something?

by disagreeing with the list I posted yesterday!

On the Andre ejection, does anyone know what he did to get the second technical? I didn’t see it on Altitude.

I’m not a big fan of complaining about the ref’s. It is up to the players to adjust to the way the game is being ref’d. Maybe, just maybe, don’t body up the opposing pg fifty feet away from the basket. The proper thing to do with the refs is what the Lakers and Spurs do. Talk about them in the media, and talk to them in the games. Make sure your point is in their head when they are deciding to blow the whistle. If I was a coach, I’d game plan for the refs. Know their tendencies and make sure your players know what behavior to avoid. I would also have a point of emphasis about something illegal an opposing teams star player does, and I’d have a conversation about it with them just before the game starts. “Tim Duncan changes his pivot foot on every post up” or something like that, try to build in a few calls and get the refs looking at what I want them to look at. Complaining after the fact is useless.

Officiating last night was inexplicably horrible and mostly one-sided. One referee seemed to be embarrassed by it and gave us a few small make-up calls. But this wasn’t even against one of the league’s chosen ones. And we were at home. Honestly, I couldn’t help but wonder if the fix was on.

is the fancy numbering! Nice!

But seriously. Yeah, evil ankle leprechaun is evil

Royce Young is the one who retweeted my game 2 preview from the playoffs last season, which in turn got Kevin Durant to call me “salty”. Also, Royce has been scoffing at the Nuggets success all season so his recent column was both predictable and predicted.

When he dines out at a fine steak house, LeBron James apparently likes apple martinis, his steak well done and he wants it cut up for him. Not my drink of choice but I can live with the apple martini. Getting your steak cut up for you is a little juvenile, but fine. However, the wannabe foodie in me must complain — to have a good piece of steak cooked until it is well done is a crime against nature and the animal that gave its life for your meal. Medium at most. I’m medium rare to rare myself. Also, tip a lot. That’s how these people make a living.

"I was tired (Monday night). I’m not going to lie," said Harrington, who turned 32 on Feb. 17. "I wanted to come out of the game a couple times. I was going to ask to come out, but I just knew we had nowhere to turn, so I kept it to myself. That’s what it’s all about. We all have to pull for each other."

Jr cut his hair to a fade instead of that line missing up front

I’ve pointed out several times that this guy is an epic douche, and now everyone will now.

but this makes the game a complete joke. If I were a fan who paid to sit in the stands – even as a Blazer’s fan – I would be pissed. It’s like watching a pro team against a division II college team.

Especially for the Nuggets. This is the NBA’s problem though with the schedule they set up, and we’ve seen enough teams intentionally sit big name starters, which is also unfair to fans who bought tickets to see those guys play. They need to do away with back to backs period beginning next year and play less games overall.
