no they didn't tank the game. It looked like they gave full effort. Plus those guys are too much competitors to tank a game anyway.


But even so it makes it easier to get matched against Dallas. It's easy to knock out Dallas in the first round. I never thought the Nuggets could beat OKC though. NeNe wilts in the playoffs plus he's going against Perkins so he'll go into b**** mode. And no one on the team can handle Durant, plus Westbrook will just ball all over Felton and Lawson.

Have you even watched Nene in the playoffs? I am willing to bet you have seen exactly no Nuggets playoff games in the last 5 years. Nene plays the exact same in the playoffs as he does in the regular season.

People forget we are missing a very key piece and our best all around SG/SF, Afflalo will do just fine against westbrook, forcing Durant to try to do it alone. and if we have Mozgov back it will give us a big body player that does not seem to mind physical play.

Need to get Moz/Bird/AA back for their defensive contributions.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D
