@ Brenda From Springfield

And finally, you're not even good-looking...not even close to being good-looking. No wonder you're so hateful.

Bitter Much?

On Clippers/Nuggets

Denver got a seriously needed win - but Denver again didn't play solid defensively. It was a significantly competitive game to a very short-handed Clip Show, who is one of the worst offensively ranked teams in the league. Came down to the last minute.

Denver should of been more focused and played a better game, especially with the tough group of games they have coming up. But the Clippers played hard and hung around well. I just think Denver needed to take better advantage of this game to make it easier. It wasn't close to an easy win.

Al Thornton played a fantastic game, really scored in a number of different ways, and was all over the boards. I like him a lot. Tied his career high in points (33) and set a new one with 12 rebounds.

Corey Maggette has seemingly improved his 3PT shot, not just going by this game. Where he hit 4 of 5.

he deserves the recognition he's getting. it isn't like they're making up the things he does (or has done).

so freaking bitter. boo hoo. the only thing worse than the senseless hate is the fact that you folks feel justified in so doing.

here's a fun exercise:

type deron williams donates into google

then type chris paul donates

notice anything?

Why would we be bitter?? It's just annoying. Just as annoying as hearing the whole Wade>Kobe mass media bombardment that went on during the last couple of years, the whole Tony Parker "love" that went on during the summer (that was ridiculous) and this (CP3 is the GOAT thing).

The fact is there is no clear cut indicator to put either of Nash, Paul or Williams ahead of each other. Nash is IMO the best overall offensivelly of those 3. He's been the better shooter and passer. Williams is also a better shooter than Paul (by lot IMO). Both Williams and Paul are miles ahead of Nash on D, with Paul being a better "thief" and Williams a better man defender. DWill has size and strength, Paul has quickness and Nash has veteran savy. So there, take your pick.

Gasol was ineffective again against a physical front court that's why we have to play the 3-ball (that did not go well for us).

I don't understand why Phil refuses to go big. We would have been much better off last night running a Farmar, Kobe, Odom, Pau, Ronny lineup in the 4th.

Odom could have guarded Roy last night with his mobility limited and put Kobe on Outlaw. Then on the pick and rolls Gasol could have played tighter on Aldridge because Ronny would have been at the basket.

listen dude, you don't see enough of the hornets. we average 19 or 20 fts a game. dead last. i recall a game this year, where the hornets won and didn't get to the line once!

you will see plenty of games where chris paul gets to the line 0 to 4 times!

surely you know the fact that some of the players on the your team foul way too much has something to do with chris getting to the line a lot last night. it speaks to their defenisve mistakes.

as for the refs loving him like they do Wade...well, chris has 8 technicals already. i doubt refs like him, chandler and any of the other complainers on this team...trust me we have plenty. :banghead:

Roy didnt seem too limited in his mobility last night :wink:

. If that were the lineup for LA I would have put Kobe on Roy and Odom on Outlaw. Both are going to get buckets but if I were the Lakers I would take my chances with the Odom/Outlaw matchup than have Odom cover Roy
