Nuggets Playoff Question

[ptrain86]

82 games is a long season, people seem to forget that. I also don't want to pay 30 bucks and see Manny Parra pitch either, or have Prince Fielder have a day off. When the sport has a longer season, though, and a game is not necessarily essential, I understand it. The players are investments also and if you have to put the car in the garage for awhile to work on some parts, do it.

Found this today. Made me happy:


Listen to how douchey the main announcer guy sounds. Surprised he could take the collective Laker dick out of his mouth long enough to say that shit. Thank God for Mark Jackson (never thought I'd say that in my life).

[rabb]

yeah that announcer is a douche

had it been Kobe, they would have talked about how determined and fiery he is

[Aurress Dearing]

I love the way he tries to twist what Mark Jackson says too.
Mark Jackson: See I don't agree with that.
Announcer: Well, with what he's saying... I know you don't agree with that.
Mark: STFU! GTFO!

Afflalo hurt his hammy...again last night, and Nene is hurt now also.

I don't see us having any shot against OKC to be honest, depth was a key and with all of these injuries...it's not looking good. Could still be the Lakers or Dallas, but OKC is our likely 1st round opponent.

[Aurress Dearing]

Yea, I'm afraid they peaked already this season & the injury bug is just killing any chance of a 1st round series win. I could be wrong. Maybe all these ankle, knee, groin, & hamstring strains will magically heal just before tipoff to game 1 of the playoffs. But I strongly doubt that.

Could get your guys more fired up for the series. Also isn't Denver's game now all about teamwork and less about raw talent? I think this is going to be an awesome series, definitely top of my list.

[rabb]

yes it is definitely more team ball now which is nice

I am hoping guys get some rest over the next few days, it could be a really good series if our big guys can play

[RayRay]

F Denver and all that teamwork.

[Aurress Dearing]

And Now Ty Lawson has an ankle injury. Occurred in the season finale loss to the Yazz. Hard for me to see this series being competitive between the Nuggets & Thunder.

Playoffs alone are simply more physical. And couple that with the Thunder trying to play the bullies. I'm afraid the Nuggets just aren't going to be able to fight back with all these injuries over the course of a best of 7 series.

My outlook is bleak but I'm still hopeful & will cheer on the Nuggets as much as ever!

[rabb]

yeah not good...it pisses me off that we had any starter in there for any significant amount of time

[Aurress Dearing]

Tough 1st two games. We get hosed on a missed offensive goal-tending & then just fail to show up for Gm2. Hopefully we can even the series back at the Pepsi Center.

[rabb]

hate to say this, but Karl's matchups have flat out sucked

and also fuck you JR

His Nugget outfit for the post game was sweet though.

[Aurress Dearing]

Yea, it really seems like Karl is being out-coached right now. I'm upset they shortened the rotation. If you have 10+ players that are good enough to get quality playing time, then play them. Screw that conventional wisdom that you HAVE to shorten your line-up for the playoffs.

And yea, I'm upset that JR proved to be JR again with his "lack of pulse" & "I'm probably not gonna be here next year" comments.
