Game 78: Nuggets (50-27) @ Thunder (48-28)

[SnakefromHell]

The X-Ray is positive!!!

Melo suffers from extended "Prima Donna" ego contusion and has to remain in the lockerroom... Best treatment is not the plasma rich stuff like KMart got... but the best treatment for this particular injury is sulking and pouting like a child over no calls for the rest of the game in the locker room. And he should be back tomorrow vs. Lakers.

wow nice comeback. Jizz lost, Dallas looks like they'll win, and hopefully Spurs win as well!

Alone at the top of NW Division once again!!

[SnakefromHell]

WOOOOWWWW nice comeback!!!! The power or Oddette!!! You know she smiled on the Nuggets first, not Kerr.

Billups got us back on track. Melo was clearly winded/ exhausted... or just frustrated... as always. So Billups put it all on his shoulders, went to the line, knocked down a 3, and got us to playing ball again instead of throwing in the towels.

It has to be frustrating to be a Thunder fan though... it seems like Melo beats them in the last moments of games.

How has snake not been banned yet? There is no sign of intelligence in him.

Melo needs to drive that **** and get a foul call.

Is he preserving his body for the playoffs or something?

Melo wouldn't have gotten a call period on that possession, assuming you're talking about the one late where he had his shot blocked.

This team is going nowhere without K-Mart and Birdman, and I expect a healthy ass kicking tomorrow if both sit. No idea why Carter played over Lawson in the first half. That better not be the case tomorrow - Lawson is a key mismatch for the Nuggets against LA.

I'll take it, but it doesn't inspire confidence.

I'm making the game thread for tomorrow. Don't bother, Snake. You've done enough.

He knows the officials don't give a crap about him and have been letting everyone rape him since GK has been out. Should have had a lot more FT's tonight, but nice he actually got more than the 4 he had been averaging.

Leadership! displayed in this game. Melo still needs to work on his mental focus but i won't complain much since he picked it up like the rest of the team at the end.

MHZ make your best game thread of the SEASON!

If Melo got the touch fouls Durant got he'd be averaging 40 ppg.

Seeing as Durant has a much higher FG%, 3P%, and FT% I doubt this

He also has a much lower no-call %. Your shots usually are harder to go in if you've got random arms hacking you with no chance to fully earn those points on the stripe.

Did we really wear the alternate road jersey?

[Shady08]

Did you not watch the game?

Did we really wear the alternate road jersey?

I personally like the midnight blue or whatever that color is, but it tends to make the players invisible. JR mentioned he didn't see Melo on the floor after he fell. Maybe these alternates are cloak of invisibility grade.

[SnakefromHell]

^I think you meant "navy" blue. We have sucky record I mean... real sucky... wearing that alternate one. To pull off a W down by double digit against a young studly team, wearing that, it's remarkable.

We have been wearing the only royal blue all season.
