The Denver TV guys are the biggest damn whiners and partisans I've ever heard. First quarter in and they're doing preemptive whining about future calls. Just call the game and quit making every damn play a matter of debate as to whether your team is getting the short end of the stick or not. :roll:

Ddadi is running things down low.

Like a boss.

yeah those denver commentators suck big time and their broadcast has ads on every 5 seconds. I'm grumpy as hell tonight and really pissed about our loss last night so it's really getting under my skin. They don't like Marc Gasol. Ok fine. YOu're being paid to call the game and be positive advocate of the sport of basketball and feature the stars of the NBA and you have an audience that extends beyond the borders of your **** state and this entire country. You're going to take a **** on the air while fans try to watch the game and relax the night before the work week? FAIL. You suck.

On the other hand I am interested in both the PHX and DEN commentators - 2 nights in a row they called Rudy Gay an Allstar. Tonight the denver guys said if Lemarcus aldridge is an allstar then Rudy Gay surely is. Last night they said Rudy Gay is hugely underrated defensive player. Wow. Lots of love from our players this season and coveting from other teams of our players. They do the same thing for Mayo. It's always like "he can score 30 points any night he wants... but... he plays on the Grizz bench". They certainly overrate him.

Now guys let's just get out of this 2 horse town with a win and go home to beat the hell out of those Lakers and show them who the real Gasol is!!!

Rudy would be an all-star if he, to use your words, didn't take a dump on air every fifth game. OJ is doing a very nice job at the point tonight though.

they have this game in their pocket but don't melt down here in the final stretch. keep firing as you retreat. I like what the bench has done this game. I was crying last night that Haddadi never played. Now tonight he plays key minutes... weird. But I'm glad he's playing now. Cunningham and Pondexter looking pretty good.

I'm just wondering when the Grizz went away from being the physical team.

I suppose being called the reincarnation of Bill Lambier is a compliment.... The denver guys keep calling Marc that. But he said earlier "bill without the nastiness". I can't tell if it's a compliment or what oh well!.

Really hope Rudy is alright, thats the last thing this team needs right now.

I thought OJ played one of his better games in his career here so far. Not big time points, but he generally did a nice job distributing the ball and running the offense, which is what people have hoped he'd be able to do for a while now. If he can keep doing that, making an effort on defense and shooting the ball from the outside...I'm going to be sad to see him go.

Looks like the Grizz got back to their winning ways. As expected, it was a tough game. The Grizz managed to hold their own when the Nugz threatened to take back the lead. Thxfully they managed to get a good run going and kept enough distance until the game was over and for the first time in Grizz history winning a sweeping series over the Nuggets.

PS. Hope that Rudy is ok.
