Good luck, at making the playoffs, guys, you're going to need it.

Good luck at the lottery, you're going to need it.

Not sure if you're a Nugget fan or just like them, but this has nothing to do with what Smills said.

It's trying to deflect away from the likely reality of the Nuggets playoff situation, by saying something antagonistic about the Kings (which is a good possibility for the Kings, who Smills is a fan of).

I just don't see the point of saying that when it's irrelevant to the original post. Indicates you didn't have much to say.

I don't see how that makes you feel any better. You're still probably going to miss the playoffs, which sucks because the Nuggets are a team I like besides my favorite(the Kings).

I think if you guys woulda made the trade for Ron though you'd definitely make it and have a shot at going to the 2nd round. Instead you're going to end up with the 14th pick in the draft while Camby and AI get another year older. You guys may want to think about dealing 1 or both of them for younger talent, expiring contracts, and a pick or 2. This AI/Melo thing isn't working out for you guys IMO, and I can't see your owner continuing to spend a bunch of money if you miss the playoffs. Also need to get some quality young guys around Melo considering you don't seem to have a PG of the future, and Nene is your only young big.

If we dont get out of the first or make the playoffs then my guess is that GK will get the boot, and Marcus will hit the trading blocks. If Ai decides to walk, then they'll go on a complete rebuilding phase.
