Denver @ New York : Game 31

[pickaxe]

Yeah he's a guy that gives tremendous effort when needed. My recommendation is he put that tremendous effort on working on his game and not turning the ball over. He will turn back into a decent backup once he has worked on not turning the ball over.

I would put a tremendous effort if I was on the court playing a game representing the Nuggets. This doesn't mean I should be playing.

The 3 PG lineup is going to give me a heart attack.

Yeah I agree about that AC has become that tremendous effort but shouldn't be playing kind of player, but he has had some clutch moments mixed in with all of his bad moments. His problem (since Karl will not remove him) is getting rid of the bad moments or at least minimizing them.

I think the thing that gives everyone a heart attack, with AC at least, is that, given his hyped us position, that he isn't humbly taking that as a call to get serious about his game. Even role players like him can refine his game to the point where he is at least not making huge mistakes.

I think if we could squeeze ac back into his original role it wouldn't be noticeable anymore.

I do wonder at how AC has a 2- to 1 ratio of assist to turnover.

What size should the pictures be? It looks like it shrunk my graphic a little....

love the graphics and they're the right size - the only thing I would say is maybe make the names a little cleaner, even though I know who they are its kinda hard to make out..

on a side note did anyone catch this:

I just checked the width limit is 183, so I made a new one that is 180px wide.
The names should be easier to read now once he puts this one up, let me know. They were blurry because the picture was shrunk.

I'm just thinkin at that size use the "cool" color like blue to fill the text and the "hot" like yellow or orange to outline, or just go black or white - you got the team colors busy in the background so the names can take a little break...just a thought

Great half, especially the second quarter. Great to see the team attacking the basket. Considering how many 3's they took the last game it's surprising they only shot 4 in the first half.

[The Answer_CO]

Melo took over when needed.
Nuggs up by 6 with 20 seconds.

bad 3rd, solid 4th. good win.

[MHZ]

We always seem to lose to the Knicks at least once, and it's usually at MSG. Nice to get a win.

Nice to have Melo back.

[corona]

i say we aim for 2-2 on this roadtrip.

[Gogo Babaroga]

AC TOOK 3 YEARS OF MY LIFE!(4 TO)
NICE JOB MELO!
Good game by Balkman(9p/8r) but now no Birdman!(Karl you ..., use them both!)
Strong dunks by Jones( ),Balkman,Nene(Melo assist) and Melo(JR assist) were nice!

GOOD WIN!

Didn't watch the game. I was watching my Vikings win a nail bitter to get into the playoffs. I recorded the game, so I'll watch it later tonight. Looks like it was a good game.

[NetsForce]

So what was the deal with Birdman did Karl just choose not to play him because it made perfect sense to play him against the undersized shot-chucking Knicks?

[corona]

gosh darn fantasy prostitutes.

resting for tomorrow night at atlanta. didn't need him tonight because balkman played well and new york went really small. so we could just match that and still outplay them.

and his rib is probably still bothering him from that month ago. good to have some extra rest.

[RRFB]

Good win. Nice to see us continue to finish games strong.

Now more importantly, hopefully the Broncos pull off a win tonight.

Damn it, I thought I could fool you !

Good win, those knicks are a bunch of chuckers especially nate robinson, bad 3rd quarter where there was no defense being played, good thing the nuggs locked down on D in the fourth when it matter most.

Melo played great, 32/9/4 on 13/19 shooting and taking over late when it matter most, the week rest must have done some good for him.

You guys dont know nothin about nothin do you. Balkman hadnt played in a few games. It was Renaldo's sort of Homecoming, The crowd gave hima a nice reception. The MSG crowd apprecitated Balkmans hustle while he was in NY. He actually played more than I seen him play in awhile. Many coaches in the league do this. Birdman will be back next game.

[SnakefromHell]

What? The game over already? It's too early man...

Damn I missed it
