Going HAM on Denver -1 (18-13-1 in Basketball)

PR9 · 01-31-12, 10:33 PM

not as easy as you though huh ?

No matter how good a team may be, it's very hard for a road team to beat a home team when the home team is in this particular spot.

laid off because lawson came back, but still a very tough spot

paco · 01-31-12, 10:41 PM

Why wouldn't Lawson dunk that?

CallMeMrOMac · 01-31-12, 10:45 PM

They just gave up there... three possessions to get that shot. Can't get a rebound.

CallMeMrOMac · 01-31-12, 10:47 PM

Game. Sickening.

PS3 · 01-31-12, 10:50 PM

boom boom boom
we just need to hope that Grizz shoot the ft's.

celtics3388 · 01-31-12, 10:50 PM

wtf happened to Gallo, i dont care if hes 1-10 he can at least create his own shot

CallMeMrOMac · 01-31-12, 10:54 PM

Well that sucks up my past 2 weeks' winnings and sucks enormously.

Good win, Memphis backers. Game of bounces. Sigh.

PS3 · 01-31-12, 10:54 PM

MEMPHIS FTW!

agarcia · 01-31-12, 10:55 PM

Wow barely got the under. I'll take it. Really good win for the Grizz

No. I actually responded to your thread last night that this Grizz team was a mess and Denver been pretty hot. Game looked to favor Denver, but they just couldnt knock down the ft's at the end. It was only a 1 unit play for me. Nice cash on Grizz.

Funny thing is, people keep talking about how great Denver is but they just lost to a Memphis team that was struggling and didn't even have their best player.

Last year people kept telling the Thuggets were going to knock my Thunder out in the first round. We beat their ass in 5 games.

Denver is the team that won't do shit in the playoffs. They don't have a goto man in the clutch.

And FYI, Memphis made it to the second round of the playoffs last year. That's more than Denver did.

He now plays in NYC.

It showed at the end of the game. Denver could never put the final nail in the coffin because no one stepped up and made a shot when it mattered.

Denver is the equivalent to a major league baseball team that doesn't have a closer. Did anyone have a clue who they were going to goto at the end of regulation?

They went to Andre Miller!

Memphis played like shit and still one because they are tough as nails and play defense. They'll be fine when they get Randolph back. If they get in the playoffs, they are a lot more dangerous than Denver.

And no one would want to play them. Denver is just a lazy team that beats up teams in altitude. NENE- dumb lazy .......

ZBo should be back before playoffs. That dude is a beast.

Denver is a good team. But when people act like they're these road warriors all of a sudden, and acting like they are all-powerful & can beat anyone on the road just made me laugh.

i mean, since when did denver become this impossible road juggernaut to beat ? What a total pile of crap.

I mean, they didn't beat anyone on the road except for crap teams and the Sixers without Hawes (who is very key for them). And they almost lost to the crappy knicks and the crappy wizards on the road. woopty-doo

BigDofBA · 02-01-12, 12:32 AM

Hammering teams that are -1 on the road = not sharp but dull.

And yes, As a Thunder fan, Memphis scares me way more than the Nuggets. Portland is also a scary team to me for some reason.

Because Memphis and Portland (when they give a shit) have more length and have a better inside game than Denver does. They are also better rebounding teams than Denver. And it has been proven over time that the teams with better game down low win in the playoffs.

And as the slogan goes among NBA players: " Rebounding wins the rings"

The Nuggets lack those 2 crucial elements to go far in the playoffs. Plain and simple.

How people overrated the nuggets today is comical

Yes! And despite these obvious facts, a few Nugget fans start threads five games into the season proclaiming how good they are.

The Thunder played the Nuggets twice in the final week of the season last year. OKC won both games easily. Nugget fans still talked shit heading into the playoffs saying Denver didn't care about those games...OKC went on to beat Denver in 5 games.

So OKC went 7-1 against Denver the final two and a half weeks of the season and these people continue to think Denver is going to win a NBA title or something.

Denver has a nice team but I don't see them doing shit in the playoffs.
