^^^ Kirstie Alley is 1-0

And she's #1 in our hearts, but everybody who was added too late doesn't get counted. See also Lindsey Vonn, and Snake's "I'm desperate for attention so I'm going to sabotage game threads" girls.

I think keeping Lindsey made sense, since she was added because of the Olympics. More credible reasons than because a 12 year old is throwing a fit. And wasn't she like 3 or 4 and 0?

3-0, I believe. I added her because she lives in Vail and won a Gold, but it was more of an honorary deal.

I can't see the Nuggets winning this game, but it would be absolutely enormous if they could. Is there anyway they can hang with the Lakers inside? I don't see it.

How many offensive fouls will Melo get this game?

I say 4.

If the Nuggets were healthy, I think it is a blow out. Without Kmart and Bird and Ty getting no minutes? Better to not watch the game. :lol:

Andrew Bynum is out for this game.

See, I gotta no problem with hot chics like this one... I got a problem with "no longer hot" chics and they caused us to lose.

I approve Lima's selection for this one... I'm feelin it. Great pic selection... we should blow the Lakers out... mainly because the Lakers are just our target.

I hope Lawson plays a lot of minutes. I hope AD uses his brain and sees the Lakers game tapes and sees why Lawson why we beat the Lakers in the 2Ws. We cannot not use one of our best weapons... he has to play. He changes the dynamic and pace of the game, and completely (I mean completely) throws them off balance defensively. None of them can guard him. The Lakers usually have the upper hand when they slow things down... we have to break open from that halfcourt thing and play in the open court. Without him, I see Lakers beating us.

It's not up to Lima, it's up to AD now if Lawson plays.

And MHZ, I don't think Bynum plays... he's injured. We can manhandle the Lakers in the paint, to be honest... if someone tells Petro to just focus on rebounding, boxing out, and contesting shots.

We are a the threshold boys! AD must play Ty in this game extended mins, not cause Billups had stretched minuts not because he was injured and needs to be tuned SIMPLY cause he will be our wild card this year NOT J.R! Just like the freedom J.R has shooting the ball even he is in the funk Ty needs more minuts to get back into the groove.

I can already feel how much physical tomorrow's game will be. It will physical, intense and more.... Can't wait. Bynum out but they are still deep. Petro playing good and getting better he just needs to keep at it......

vs OKC Ty had 4 minutes, Malik had 15... Its a loss if that happens tonight against LA.

Tymes · Post #14 » by **Tymes** » Thu Apr 8, 2010 2:56 pm

I agree, Ty needs playing time and with the Lakers being fresh and us in a back to back situation, we need to give the young guy a chance.

I would like to see the Nuggets play defense in the first quarter and stop giving up 30+ point 1st quarters to the opponent, will it happen tonight?

^ This.

These last few games are a golden opportunity to solidify the defense. They need to play defense no matter what. If they go scoreless for 7 minutes play defense, if someone gets a hernia play defense, if Kobe dunks on Birdman still play defense, if the offense is clicking......still play defense.

And whoever's coaching needs to say, "What exactly about the words play defense did you not understand?"

chuckyourface · Post #17 » by **chuckyourface** » Thu Apr 8, 2010 7:20 pm

I would love to see the Nuggz win this one but without k-mart this could be nearly imposible, i hope coach give some T-Time and Billups a little rest. The 2nd Seed race is still very open and we need any W we can get so Go Nuggz 8-)

I read somewhere that Phil will be resting Kobe tonight... Vujacic into the starting lineup.

Other key players minutes could be limited as well.

They're giving us a free win here... gotta make the most of it.

SnakefromHell · Post #20 » by **SnakefromHell** » Fri Apr 9, 2010 3:22 am

Classic Phil's work. It's like the psychological stuff he plays on us like, "we don't need to play our best player when playing you guys". But maybe he is just resting Kobe.

I like Petro's work in the paint. He corralled rebounds away from Gasol and Odom, Martin and Nene would have lost.
