Game 17: Twolves @ Nuggets

[el loco]

that was disappointing.

lol.

all nba teams are talented though, and can win on any night. i'm not that surprised or outraged. first time in the billups era we lose to a sub .500 team at home. this will be good motivation for awhile.

Yeah, that loss to the Clippers motivated them for about a week, so this loss should motivate them for at least 8 days

I will give the Twolves some credit, they didn't fold and kept playing and got a much needed win.

I can't believe we beat you, wow...

We can't believe it either.

I'd like to think we beat ourselves though.

Did Melo/CB just set a career high in bricked shots? I haven't checked the box score yet..

[pickaxe]

Wow, Melo still went 12-25, just separated the very hot half from the very cold half.

Billups and Lawson both with 4 turnovers each.

Birdman +5 on the +/- ... only guy in positive territory

Martin and Nene with double digit rebounds again, and a few blocks apiece.....I hate it when we waste these efforts. I hope they feel enough incentive to continue to work this hard.

It was actually Martin and Billups on the offensive end combined went 7 for 25 shooting.

What's weird is how well the cutting and dishing was working in the first half then it's let's stand around time on offense and bring that ish effort back over to the defensive end in the 2nd half.

Oh well. On to the next game.

Why does GK always sit Melo in the 2nd qtr when he has it going.He took Melo out with 11 minutes to go in the 2nd qtr and doesnt put him back in intil 2:39 left in the qtr and by then he had cooled off.

Birdman +5 on the +/- ... only guy in positive territory

Bird played like crap

[SnakefromHell]

Oh wow puke...

Had a funny feeling we're gonna lose but I thought it's just a feeling shook it off fast, went back to work, and came home to this...?

I know I'm reaching here, but he's probably thinking Melo's a 3rd quarter player, we're playing Minny, he's not playing defense tough enough....just rest him and prep him for another big run in the 2nd half. If it's not that, then I really don't know what Karl was thinking.

I would recommend to let Melo get as much out as possible, then rest him, then bring him back. In that 1st half Melo could have easily drained a couple more 3s for us.

His teammates must love the way he plays.
