I TOOK THIS THREAD FROM THE ANSWER ON NT, THANK YOU!

Go Nuggets!

Love the pic with Crawford thoughtful while Billups looks on. That's exactly how I feel sometimes.

Going to the game! Tweet tweet (at least I'm assuming birdman will have a big game)

Boston is 13-2 without Garnett since he joined the team, including 4-0 this season. Denver dealt Boston its first home loss 94-85 on Nov. 14.
LETS GO NUGGETS!
I expect a win!

so is k-mart playing ?

[CanNugget]

F*ck...

[Teens On Acid]

ouch.

i think we need this losing streak though. it's an essential part of the season.

let's just move on.

[RRFB]

Well that was fun.
Hopefully the 'lets go celtics' chants at the end pissed them off a little.

[pickaxe]

F*ck...

Yeah.

[blue steel]

well that was the first time i ever left a nuggets game early. completely pathetic, but the refs were outright terrible. ive never heard the pepsi center boo them that loud before, it was like the nuggets were not allowed to drive on the celtics.

but watching this teams offense since the washington game has been brutal. we've become the team we were last year, except the one on one stuff isn't working. but we are doing a great job of not playing defense. wednesday's game is a must-win.

[blue steel]

lol look at the +/-'s

You know, it's kind of annoying how the pa announcer growls "DE_FENSE" and then Nuggets fail on defense yet again. I'm almost thinking a little less shouting defense and a little more playing it is needed. I wonder what the players think.

[MHZ]

Good lord.

[Melo-2-JRSwish]

Simply and utterly embarassing and disheartening.

[RRFB]

Really? That was nothing, I've heard way worse.
Come to a home playoff game sometime if you really want to hear them get boo'd.

[pickaxe]

Yeah I heard more silence than booing. From Denver fans.

[blue steel]

No, the nuggets fans were most definitely booing the hell out of the refs in the first half, especially after kmarts offensive foul and our 6th charge of the first half. The second half was silent, except for all the gloating boston fans. Not really sure why its a competition to hear the loudest booing?


Well this should make everyone feel better though and about the loss though.
