Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia 76ers - Game 30

[MHZ]

Was at the game. The crowd booed pretty severely when Karl replaced JR with AC, pretty good stuff. AC got smoked, which allowed that potential 3 point play on the alley-oop tip in.

JR looked good. He still is frustrating though when he decides he needs his heat check. If he lets the shots come to him, he's money.

Big ups to Chauncey tonight. He was the clear leader of the team, and did a great job getting everything under control.

Chucky being showcased?

It was a nice comeback, i didn't really understand why we were down so much in the first place but im glad the team pulled it out.

That fourth quarter was great, every play going down the 2 minute mark was awesome. Atkins finally contributed when we need it, this would of been one on the most dissapointed loss of the season but at the end it turned out as the biggest comeback win this year.

Jr played well and also bad at the same time, still a knucklehead at times, turning the ball over take contested shots etc. At the end he came up big though.

Chauncey was great as usual, making key shots and taking control of the team when they were down, good lead to have on the team.

Nene was pretty good as well, 4th straight double double. Still want the team to give him more touches on the block though but he also needs to get better position.

Kenyon was good defensively and made the biggest dunk of the game to give the team the lead for good.

Carter shouldn't have played at all, he's just awful. Hopefully if we don't trade atkins soon then he can take over carter spot as the back up point, atkins is just smarter with the ball and will hit the open jumper so teams can't lay off of him and go double team someone else.

That's what I'm saying.

I always find it hilarious that whenever Karl substitutes AC in for JR at the end of game, Hastings has to justify it to people by saying he is subbing defense for offense. Which is what he thinks he's doing....but in reality, JR is no worse than AC on D, and at least doesn't give up 6 inches on whoever he guards.

It was funny that J.R. hit the three to put us ahead, and the very next play when Karl put AC in for him for the "defense"....Dre posted his bitch ass up and scored on him easily.


I would like to see Chucky get some more minutes....but if it's going to come with this 3 PG lineup bull, **** that. That makes absolutely no sense to me at all; I don't know how he can possibly justify it either. He said he wanted Atkins in there for hustle/energy/shooting....which is fine, but why does AC also need to be in there? Billups can bring the ball up/run the offense(which AC can't do anyway), and Atkins could also do that if needed. So why in **** hell does AC also need to be in? Even if he wants to say defense, he has Jones and Balkman on the bench. Ok I'm done thinking about this now, it's only pissing me off and making my head hurt trying to comprehend his dumbass decisions.

Well, I look at it this way: three guards for 3x the intelligence on the floor, 3x the speed, etc. all the things guards are supposed to be specializing in since they're not tall.

When ya ain't fast, ya ain't smart, and you've giving up 6 inches ya don't need to be on the floor.

Pick 3 BEST guards in the league Karl's idea might work for 2 minutes max.

DN - it was mostly turning the ball over with stupid passes on offense. It was like that all game and then suddenly all of our shots started falling. I guess it was a game AI would have loved with all the passing lane activity.
