NBA PLAYOFFS RND 1: NUGGETS vs. THUNDER - GAME 5

[Nutty Nats Fan]

The ref at mid court called it, the ref under the basket overruled the call. That's all you need to know. Denver got f'ed all game, then at the end.

Other then things that was talked about in this thread, i´m guessing that no one realized that OKC never leave´s the key, the 3 second rules simply dont apply to them, Denver, on the other hand, had his frontcourt floating in the key, allowing KD and Russel to attack the basket and going to the FT line.

Those little things turn the tide of a game, you can see Ibaka with 9 block´s, only because he is posted right there, (OK he had a lot of chasing blocks, but not in this game 5) bellow of the basket, making with Perkins a huge wall...

My english´s still poor... I know... lol

Think back to the Melo-drama days though.....This season turned out alright and the team has a bright future.

I will agree that this season turned out better then could reasonably be expected, however I am not nearly as high on the teams future as many seem to be. What I see is a team with a 2-3 guys with a chance to be very good role players, and a bunch of solid role players. In other words a team that is good enough to win 45 games, and maybe sneak into the playoffs, but no further.

Get value for Nene -- a young PF that can score plus a pick.

Bring back JR/KMart (at reasonable money)

Trade Felton, Chandler for expiring established vets and picks.

I still have my belief that George Karl hurts you in the playoffs but he has an extension.

If the Nuggets are going to trade Nene then they may as well blow the whole team up, as he is not exactly easy to replace.

KMart may be back, although I I don't know if I would bring him back, to many issues always surrounding him, and with his age he will want to be on a contender I am sure.

JR would be a surprise if he came back, why would he want to continue fighting with karl, while lessor players always find a way to get plenty of minutes.

Felton and chandler can both go in the right deal as far as I am concerned.

I doubt Karl ever gets fired in Denver, he is too close with the owner, he will have to retire before that happens.

that was a backcourt violation.
