[Doomsta]

bynum is a b*tch

[youngthegiant]

just a flat game...no energy

[Amish Mafioso]

Overtime, please.

[Doomsta]

game was frustrating all the way till the end, and then nugs lost.

[eathb_au]

meh too many holes on this team.

worst 4th quarter team in the league.

worst SG rotation in the league.

[corona]

that's the best shot you can get with 11 seconds left? a step back fadeaway 3 over their best wing defender? terrible.

having dre and fernandez guard kobe the entire 4th was goddamn (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

[Maf]

Well let's face it. Lot of analysts and journalists talk about Denver not having superstar to close out the game. I think you don't need superstar but at least someone like Jamal Crawford who loves these situations.
Ty really pissed me of today. Don't tell me Karl draw that. He was afraid to take Fisher one on one? Seriously?

Thanks Big Al to make this game interesting till the end.
Rudy, I like him. But he acted like cheap biatch with his flops

[clockwork]

we need chandler back, seeing how he can efficiently guard anybody from the 2-4 spots.

[Ice32]

The following need a slap:

Afflalo - 7 pts in 24 mins, played some good D then made some awful decisions in the 4th
Gallo - 1/9 FGs for 6 pts??? WTF is that?
Rudy - 1/7 FGs for 2 pts and 1 reb in 20 mins - horrible game

Mozzy looked hurt, probably out vs Blazers

Big Al and Miller were great and kept us in the game, without them its a Lakers blowout.

Please get fired up vs the Blazers tomorrow, we cannot afford to lose 2nd spot in the West. Clippers are just behind us.

[KAVK]

I was happy with Mozzy kind starting come around to it, then the injury. Hopefully it is not so serious. 2 weeks out probably.

Rudy was terrible and ignored red hot Al in the fourht when we had good momentum then another bad shot by Gallo on a fast break...... i was in fumes.

It is sad to see Ty shrinking on Fisher at the end. Fisher has no business when D ing Ty one on one AT ALL!

If it was not for Miller and Al this game would have gone much earlier.

Regroup and POR is going to be TOUGH TOUGH.

[inquisitive]

Having Chandler last nite would've been huge....no need to double on Kobe multiple times...hopefully his Chinese team doesn't make the playoffs.

What was completely encouraging is that most of the guys played like something really smelly... and yet they hustled and competed- most couldn't hit water falling off a boat last night... They fought hard... I don't agree with MORAL victories- a loss is a loss, but if they make a few open looks and some lay ups and the refs call goaltending on Bynum- it could have been different- I don't complain too much (too much) when the effort is there... Gallo however needs to be more aggressive- if the shot isn't falling- take it to the hoop- Nene- stop thinking you are George Gervin and mash someone's arm into the rim. Other than those tidbits... let's hope a few have a jumper and hope we can find a way to beat the Blazers....
