Melo, Chauncey and Birdman are all out.

Nice game thread!

Consider this game a trade seal of the deal for J.R. if he turns in another 3-for-12 performance.

We can't lose to the Warriors at home, can we? Ellis is playing great though... that guy can single-handedly defeat our pitiful unit, unless Lawson plays excellent defense again on him.

Gotta get this one! J.R better pull through for us. No kidding. I am expecting Ty to shine again in this one.

Karl better go with Johan over Allen.

Godspeed Nuggets!

[KAVK]

Ty is kicking assssss!

Guys doing good on the board. Now J.R gotta come through for us to close the deal in second half

[eathy]

This team fails miserably on defense

[SirHuey]

Nene injured...

[SirHuey]

Nvm he's back in the game

[SirHuey]

lol what a stupid foul...ty Ellis

[eathy]

JR at the line to shoot 3 Fts to win the game.

[eathy]

JR actually hit clutch FTs...

[el loco]

Hopefully those free throws will boost JR's confidence with his shot. If I am a Warriors fan, I would be pissed off because the refs bailed the Nuggets out tonight, but I am not a Warriors fan, so I like the way it turned out. But, that call was bullsiht imo.

[SnakefromHell]

Oh wow... J.R. just increased his trade value by proving he can hit clutch free throws. We win.


What's the conclusion you can draw out of this game?

- Keep J.R. because he just won the game for us

OR

- It's rebounding that is our biggest weakness and that's reflected by this very game that we had to go to length against the frickin Warriors on our homefloor (I don't care we don't have Melo and Billups... we kept getting outrebounded to the loose ball by the likes of Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis)... and we need to improve that department.


I mean, if we get excited by this win, on a last second foul call by refs who on some nights might very well never blow the whistle, a one point phew-er against a lowly Warriors... I think we've truly missed the big picture... how are we supposed to be excited about this season? Isn't our true goal to defeat the Lakers?

[grippah26]

Big win for the Nugs! Had me worried for a minute!

[SnakefromHell]

^That's a big win... but if we get excited about this win, this is messed up. We're not supposed to get excited about a one-point squeaker against the Warriors on our homefloor??? Man Im gonna cry...

[pickaxe]

Snake what you talking about. We outrebounded the Warriors by 12 rebounds.

[el loco]

I hope Lawson turns out to be okay, that should be the topic of conversation. Mya said he tried to run on it in the tunnel, but couldn't do it.
