Play it like the last game

[pickaxe]

I kno we have more insight than we did 20-30 games ago, in terms of who's going to perform and who's not......but I would request that we put our energy into rooting for this team at least one last time this Wednesday.

If they lose, what we think is already a foregone conclusion.

If we win, there is life in this team yet.

Besides, why give up on the season until it is technically and officially over. It may seem like it is for all intents and purposes, but hey let's try to enjoy it and squeeze every last drop out of it.

The team has given up, besides Melo. So why shouldn't we give up?

[JRMelo15]

Melo has never won a game ending series (when the other team has 3 wins).

You have a great point. I will be wearing my Nuggets gear on Wednesday and watching the game. Win or lose embarrassingly, I'm a Denver fan;

I don't yet understand why we can't seem to make simple substitutions ......Come ON, AD.....

Start Petro, Nene, Melo, AA, Chauncey. Let Kenyon come off the bench with his sore knee. You're putting Nene up against a 7'1, 300 lbr.....let Petro bang with him. Neither are worth a damn offensively, but at least then you have nene in front of boozer - which could help on the pick and rolls, given that Kmart's knee is causing him to rotate slow....Petro is not entirely useless and plays pretty good defense - why not TRY it for a change?

Another thing - Chauncey is getting OWNED. Put Ty Lawson on Dwill....it can't hurt us at this point. The change of pace opens the floor on the other end. Let Chauncey, JR, Kenyon, and Bird come off the bench - hell, they have no energy right now anyways.

And one last comment - grow the F up. You are out there pouting like 7 yr olds. So what if you aren't getting the calls? Keep your head down, your mouths shut, and the refs WILL give you a few. Granted the officiating has been MORE than lopsided, but you can't control that except by your actions - and no one likes a spoiled little brat.

If it isn't already blatently obvious why we're getting our butts handed to us, I think it's safe to say that AD is NOT head coach material. You have to show SOME emotion. You have to switch things up when it ain't workin. I know Kenyon's knee is bugging him, and without the fire of Karl they are having a hard time getting motivated, but playoffs allow for no excuses. Get your asses up and WORK. Get the extra pass in there. Not that damn hard, the Jazz can be beaten..if you play as a TEAM

The thing I liked about AI was that although he was inefficient and not good for the team, he played his arse out to the finish.

Can't say the same for Chauncey, JR, Nene, etc.

Agreed man... totally.

You gotta think... "we damn lead the L in free throw attempts." You gotta thank/ be more grateful towards the refs, than "WHAT??? WHERE'S THE FOUL??? DO YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE??? WE ARE THE DENVER NUGGETS!!" Some guys need to realize they lead the L in free throws... instead they acted like the refs raped them.

Eventually the refs are gonna be pissed off and start calling the other team's way. That already happened. I was VERY concerned about this.

And I agree with Petro... he should play more... and more Ty on Deron... absolutely no AAA on Deron because he can't match his speed/ quickness and his defense is better used elsewhere to shut down other guys he can stay... like those scrubs Matthews and Miles.

[dookieguy]

I think Petro might be better than Birdman at this point.

[SnakefromHell]

^No doubt. To be fair to Bird, he might be battling some injuries on his arms... wrist, fingers...?

But everytime he's battling the bulls/ beasts down low for rebound, I am concerned about him breaking his ribs/ legs, etc... he is that fragile. He gets pushed around too easily = loss in rebounding battle.
