No ******* way we should have lost that ******* game to the ******** Brawl ball Utah crap!!! Every player should have to stay after and run and make ******* free throws. 1000 free throws made before they go home tonight. Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's not even basketball... I hate UTAH

That was the most competetive game ever between these two teams. Great game, tough loss, I was sure you had us beat a few times.

This is an absolute nasty match up between these two teams and this was a real man's game.

The refs were terrible going both ways, but I love the physicality that you guys bring to the game, perfect.

i don't blame him for not leaving korver....

but somebody's gotta communicate better there and not give up a 3.

That was some miscommunication but mostly Iverson's fault. At that point in the game, you switch everything. Iverson didn't switch.

I agree, the refs were fine. Missed FT, not blocking out, bad perimeter D (Carter), Melo being stupid at the wrong times, Karl rotations and Carter just having an atrocious game is what did it.

Fun game to watch, I was literally on the edge of my seat. I thought you guys played well, really physical, made some huge shots, and got a lot of offensive rebounds. Nice effort, this game was way too close to call, just glad to have survived with a win.

Between us and the 2 teams we've seen in the past few nights, you can say a few things: They're all very good teams, they're all about equally good, and at least one is probably going to miss the playoffs. Not to mention GS and Houston.

Competition is nice, but that really sucks. Oh well, at least we'll be able to watch the Nets or Hawks or somebody exciting in the playoffs.

I can see AI's thinking, its damned if you do damned if you don't....if he switches, you leave the best shooter on the floor open....you take your chances with williams over korver.

It's getting old seeing the Nuggets play tough D until theres ten seconds left on the shot clock, when someone ends up wide open for a jumper. Seriously, every possession the opposing team has a wide open jumper, and a lot of times it's from three. Time for George Karl to step up and remind the team how to contest every shot.

Great game guys. It was a really hard fought game. AI is a class act. i really respect that guy. You are lucky to have him. I wish some of your fans had a little more class but I guess each team has them. Heres hoping we don't face you in the playoffs.

Not true. Remember, Carter got caught up on Korver's shoulder, so if Iverson had switched, Iverson would be running right along with Deron and Carter would have easily been in front of Korver by the time the ball would have gotten to him.

I don't know......the one thing about Carter is he attempted to step up. Kleiza gets a big thumb down tonight. Disappearing act.

But yeah I got to say they need to box out and follow their own shots in cause you're going to miss 1 out of every 2 shots anyway......follow the ball in and guys can't be at half court when AI jacks a shot up. They need to be around the rim.....or some body needs to be around the rim when K Mart or Camby jacks a shot up.....that's for certain.

Refs (who were bad on both sides) aside this game was everything I could have wished for. I can't wait for the next match up. May the best team win the division, Seriously, good luck guys, I'd love for these two teams to play in the playoffs.

camby and kmart kill me sometimes at the end of the shot clock. good defenders, but just don't always close out and get a hand up.....

this was a good game - tough loss, but we showed a lot of grit.

i know there are a lot of ai haters out there still, but i'd hope that y'all can at least give him props for his relentlessness. theres something to be said for going at the other team hard, even when things aren't going your way. almost got us a win too.

anyway, this was a better loss than the loss utah had to us in SLC.

if we meet in the playoffs, I won't be pissed.

I hate G.Karl he has a double standard when it comes to JR.If JR made those same dumb ass plays he would be benched for weeks but Carter will continue to play 30= minutes a game and be allowed to continuous **** up and not be benched for it.
