Game 35: Warriors (9-23) @ Nuggets (21-13)

[pickaxe]

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.

As long as they employ a hugh hush system of make up calls nothing is ever going to make complete sense. There were so many times the warriors were climbing all over our backs and no calls, so I have no pity when we finally get one.

JR's dunk and drive to the rim is the confidence booster. Notice how his fans all got up and cheered when he did that? Doing all sorts of things wrong and then pulls that one out. And he deserved it for that play and his poise down the stretch.

^We still can't get rebounds when they matter tho... that's always the reason we lose games. Check it.

I love Monta, he's probably my fave player outside Nuggets... but sometimes you gotta question his IQ what the heck was he thinking?

[Nutty Nats Fan]

Can't rebound when it matters... dumbest thing I have ever heard. Someone whining the team couldn't get an O-board on a missed foul shot.

[pickaxe]

It's the altitude. Any player can push themselves to play like Monta and have a career night. Not every player knows how to hit the brakes before they hit the snow bank.

The rebound thing is more of a unit thing - we need that one more element - either everyone rebounding more overall or one more big dude. For the effort our 3 bigs displayed tonight rebounding they get a golf clap because it was not easy.

btw Monta was all over the place...., climbing over people's backs, reaching, if only we'd learn to play off the opponents' weaknesses instead of strengths, - instead of trying to outrun him cut him off at the pass

Stealing my line... that's uncalled for.

If you tape this game, watch when we were down 118-115 at about 2 mins left in the game, some midget from the Warriors got an offensive rebound...


This is the Warriors so we got a break. If this was the Lakers it'd have been costly.

We can't rebound when it matters... what's dumb about it? That's been our weakness, if our rebounding is just fine, as you're maybe trying to imply, then why most Nugget fans except probably you who is the dumbestestest, want the team to acquire a legit big man who can rebound?

You can't win Nat Fan

i was watching at the gym and a big cheer went up when that foul was called, and then another when he made the 2nd free throw.

good times.

[SnakefromHell]

Speaking of Ty, if he can't play for 1-2 weeks like Bird... think we'd call Alston?

If I were Alston, I'd rather sign with Nuggets than Heat in terms of being with contenders.

Then Alston would be the reason why we dump AC in a trade throw-in when both Billups and Ty come back. Plus Alston plays pretty decent defense and can hit the long ball.

lawson will play on friday. it didn't look that bad.

[SnakefromHell]

Yes!!!!


Oh... Joey Graham 20 pts

I've noticed there are a few people complaining about the foul.

The foul was there... Monta bumped JR during the jumpshot.

[CanNugget]

^^ ya i was going to say the same thing you can definitely see the hipcheck. We're just fortunate they actually called it. i hope to God lawson is ok to go friday. Man do we need another big i don't care what hastings thought of malik allen's play, i feel like im going to vomit with anger every timei see him play.

Holy mother of god. Good comes at the end, that was a foul. Refs more likely not to blow a whistle for close one at the end that decides a game but this one was A FOUL. Thanks to Monta being such an idiot is our luck not the foul actually.

Hope Ty & Nene are ok! my biggest concern right now. Did not look that bad. I said it before put on a damn ankle brace for every1 from this point on. All these injuries, least we can do is be careful.



Can't wait till All Star break to get some rest for the boys to ease those injuries up!

MHZ Please post up a game thread bit earlier for the CLE game if you can.

[MHZ]

Wow. I would be pissed if I was a GS fan. Not a foul you call in that situation.

Megan Fox deserves credit for the win. She was up first!

I guess I'll take a win any way I can get. The Cleveland game should be an ass kicking if we don't get some guys back.

[MidMountain]

I thought with all the injuries, Balkman might finally get some playing time. He's shown good energy and hustle before. I'm surprised he got an extension when he gets zero minutes for an injury depleted team.

[KAVK]

Balkman never gets to play! now Bird is down so might be a good choice of energy guy replacement at this point. he done nice job last year when Martin was out.

If Melo ain't going on that CLE game, no sense to put CB in. Hate to see bad performance on national TV but for bigger picture we can sacrifice some in time.

I wasn't trying to imply that it wasn't a foul. It is just one of those calls that doesn't get made 99.999% of the time, especially on a shot like that. I am glad it was made, but it wasn't a normal call in such a situation.

[The Rebel]

anybody that thinks the refs gave us this game need to watch the last 20 seconds of the game, where Nene was fouled, Curry carried the ball, and Ellis travelled, all well before JR was fouled (and it was a foul). Fact of the matter is that Denver should have been up a point on that last possesion, if the refs did not blow the other calls that all went in the Warriors direction.

[berserker]

100% agree with Rebel. ALL the calls were going the warriors way until the end of the game. nene was yanked down by the arm by Turiaf, and Curry CLEARLY traveled. I'm not saying that the fould on JR should have been called - it was minor. But given the breaks the W's got in the last 20 seconds, it was deserved.

Great game, Kmart...
