Denver Nuggets @ Dallas Mavericks - Game 4

[Nutty Nats Fan]

giving up a 3 point play, and then getting a technical in the second half of a close, close-out game on the road. that was a huge turning point in the game.

JR does that, he doesn't play the rest of the game. Didn't LK even stay on the court after that?

JR seemed to be playing well for the most part too. Why'd he only get 28 minutes? Bit more JR, a dose of Balkman, Nuggets win.

I really wish Karl didn't let his favoritism of players get in the way of winning games.

will the birdman be ready for game 5?

What's worse? Andersen not playing, or Kleiza playing?

kleiza being on the court. hart could have done better. not to mention balkman, who has the absolute perfect game-style to give dirk fits.

if that was a win-or-go-home game for the nuggets and he did that, i would be in lk's apartment right now with a gas can and matchbook.

What LK did goes anti to everything the Nuggets have built on to get to this point. It needs to be called out. I hope Chauncey at least laid into him for 30 seconds.

And this is not a time for LK to be wishy washy with his play because he feels he hasn't got much playing time. He gets a stage, he gets the ball, he puts the ball in the hoop and stops it from going in the other hoop.

That being said, I hope Birdman is back and refreshed for game 5. I also hope George Karl realizes what a trememdous egg he laid as a coach in game 4.

Can you imagine the epic case of the **** Birdman must have had to miss that game? I would imagine that he'd be out there in a diaper if it were at all possible to play.

I agree that Karl should have given Balkman some minutes...and even a few more minutes for JR... but how does that guarantee winning??? Balkman might have done the same or worse than Kleiza...Dirk was scoring on everyone. I know they should have had a few more sets for JR while he was in... but all in all, the Nuggets lost because they didn't guard as tough as they needed to. They let the whistle make them go a little soft... maybe the rotation would have done the trick, maybe it would have make things worse, but with Birdman out, Balkman should have gotten some PT even if he wouldn't have helped, he probably would have been better than Kleiza. I think you need to have a little more D Jones especially in the 4th for D...

I just wanna win game 5 and get this series over with... Go Nuggets!!!!

He couldn't have been leaving plentiful piles. How many people walk around worrying about stepping in bird poo? It isn't like cow crap, or dog crap. The bird poo squirts would be like skid marks in the average humans underwear.

Not to get....um, graphic or anything, but we coulda used that bird poo to block Nowitzki's shots cause he would have slipped and fell everytime he attempted a fadeaway.

That wasn't a terrible idea, let's expand on it a bit shall we How about if we make Kleiza the official bird poo spreader. His shot has already gone down the crapper, so he would be the perfect candidate imo.

If Kleiza's not going to hustle after a loose ball.....I don't know about birdy poo.
