I dont see a problem with that if he is doing it after he makes stops/shots or whatever. Its called swagger. MJ did it, Bird did it, I guess they are immature too

Shaq has done it a lot of times ! And it looked a lot more hilarious !

I want Coop to be on FSN next season, hes too funny.

Sofa King, how were you able to find Tony from all the people in there?

He actually slept in the parking lot till he could hear Tony pull up in his tricked out Lambo.

I am glad we were able to establish dominance for most of the game after we got behind by 7. The nuggs have athletic bigs but as overall, they do not play very good team defense. There is no reason why we should not continue to exploit them inside.

Until they decide to pack the paint, we have no business taking jumpers.

Kobe settled for jumpshots instead of attacking the rim and/or becoming a playmaker. It was actually a blessing to have him in foul trouble because the rest of the guys were feeding Pau at the rim. I lost count on how many dunks or laypus he had but seriously, he could have gone for 50 today had we continue to feed him.

LO had a monster game because he stayed aggressive and attacked the rim. Props to him.

Even the bench mob contribute.....JFar, Puke and Sasha...

Hope the next game is more of the same (points in the paint) with Kobe himself making some adjustments. If we do this, its another blowout and we take full control of this series.

Game 1 : knock the down
Game 2 : step on their neck
Game 3 : stab them in the heart
Game 4 : Mbenga pulls out heart, takes huge bite and spits it out

Mbenga: "are you not entertained!?"

So it's true. Mexicans really are savages.

(kidding, kidding, just a joke between two friends)

[Sedale Threatt]

Seriously, though, I think they're going to get in a few decent kicks to the balls before we get to the fun business of eating hearts.

I don't know why, but 4-2 is stuck in my head.

Actually, I do know why -- our inconsistency on defense. No way that's not going to bite us in the ass at least once in Denver.

Sofa King, how were you able to find Tony from all the people in there?

Took me practically half an hour to find Tony. I looked and finally figured I go outside for a smoke and there i found him. Good thing he posted his picture because I would have felt like a gay ass if I went to every guy there asking him if he was Tony Montana.

That's how we roll white man!

[B-Scott]

This team plays so well when eveyone is moving the basketball. We have a lot of guys who are great passers and thats resulting in a lot of layups and dunks. Our big guys can pass and finish and if you stack up on them,we have the shooters to make you pay.

[RJM]

Anyone else found that "DUI" chants against Carmelo Anthony classless?

I do actually....personal issues should not be used as a joke. It's as if the Denver fans were to have chanted "Rapist" during the trial back in 2004 whenever the MVP was at the line. That would have been disgusting. Just boo, but don't go that far.

Wow, just saw on ESPN.com that there hasn't been a player to put up Gasol's numbers in the playoffs since Barkley went for 43, 15 and 10 in 1993. That's some mighty fine company he's in.

You could see that Gasol was mighty pumped up for this game. If there's anyone enjoying this as much as Kobe, it has to be him with his first opportunity to get a playoff win. NBA is pretty religiously followed in Spain and Gasol was quite overdue to make his impact.
