:rofl: @ Iverson.

Looks like the refs gave us one on that first play. Looked like AJ pushed him.

I think Iverson might have bumped the referee after the first T.
Going to donkey punch a leprechaun!

Wow Denver made that easy.

Nice win besides choking in the last 4 minutes. I wish we would have left Law in the game though..that was a moronic decision to take him out.

A win is a win, but we really need to change up our 2nd half strategy.

Yeah AJ definitely got away with that one. I don't think the 2nd one was a push on AJ though. Looked like AI just lost control.

LOL after watching the replays I'm glad the refs didn't call a foul the on the 2nd one when Iverson was out of bounds. He basically fell out of bounds intentionally to try to get the make up call for the 1st time...LMAO

Good that we won but it's a shame that even though we were up at least 15 for a good portion of the game, the lead was never comfortable. We definitely played scared the last half of the 4th quarter.

It look like a good balance to the game tonight. JJ didn't need to do much. Marvin with his best game in sometime. Gotta like the 9 rebounds by Marvin. Helping pick of the slack from what looks to be foul trouble from Smoove. Props to Acie. It look like he finally had a good game for the first time this year.

Joe didn't do much (anything) in the 2nd half, but he jump started us in the first half. I'm really not even sure if Joe made more than 1 basket (the dunk) in the 2nd half.

It think NBA.com is wrong. It says Joe played 42 minutes...did he really? He had like 4 points, 0 boards and 0 assists in the 2nd half. It seemed like he was on the bench for a while.

our defensive rebounding needs to improve. Denver had 20 offensive rebounds.

We played scared and got a good call at the end but we beat the crap out of that team. Don't sell the team too short, we need to finish better but after every game I see too many, "wow, they really gave us that game". We won this one with good D and more energy.

Exactly..we have given away alot more games this year then team's have given us. The only game I felt lucky to win this year was at Miami.

Memphis also came back from a double digit 4th qtr deficit to lead Cleveland by 2. I really want to pass Cleveland and get the 6th seed. It would suck to play Boston or Detroit in the 1st round if we did make the playoffs.

Yeah, no one in the East can is going to beat Detroit and Boston in a playoff series (except each other), but if we can get that 6th seed I would be really happy given our history with Orlando.

Still way too early, though.

Who would you prefer to play between Boston and Detroit? I'm leaning toward Detroit due to the matchups.
