Thunder played great in the first half. Up one.

Well, Indy did what we need to do tomorrow. Beat Orlando. Beat Orlando tomorrow and we're right back to being (less than) 1 game behind Indy for the two seed. Then on Friday we'll face off against Toronto while Indy plays Milwaukee. It's going to be a playoff race moving forward to say the least. About to watch the 2nd half of OKC/Denver until I hit the ZZZ's.

Nuggets are on a nice run.

He's been progressing slowly but steadily as a player, just like any other rookie/ young player. Even well known Lin hater HakeemKnicks now believes he's better than Felton and in his own word said he never wanted Lin to leave. His plays are opening eyes: he's got amazing vision with passing skills, he makes his teammates better (Jared Jeffries, Steve Novak, Greg Smith, Toney Douglas, Omer Asik, got tons of lay ups/ open 3s/ dunks because of him), he has elite first step and attacks the rim, he has his own pace, his 3s are starting to fall now, amazing FT shooter, great defender (takes charges, very good help defender, one of the best 1-on-1 defender in L, top 5 in spg).

Remember with Lin controlling the tempo, we started games demolishing opponents in 1st quarters of games with abundance of spacing, all players get the ball/ shots, we were unstoppable offensively at home, and those games were played in his 25th-35th real NBA games.

Had we kept him and had we let him develop, surrounded by the vets who always make the young players focus on the prize (championship), maybe not this year, but next year, it's not impossible to say these Lion Five (Melo-Shump-Amare-Tyson-Lin) would be a legitimate threat for the Heat.

grow up.

Faried and Lawson.

Lawson makes that team go, loved the dude out of college and wish the Knicks got him.

gallinari really is a model of consistency

Damn does Gallinari suck. It's a marvel how Denver wins so much with both Gallinari and Iguodala playing. Both are first class brick masons.

Nuggets win back to back at Chicago and OKC.

lin gets clowned every time he plays MIA

this MIA is just amazing, they have 2 modern day jordans + a robin playing the role of alfred....just unstoppable

the fact NY hung tight with them last time shows how good NY can be, but with amare out, they stand no chance now

You really need to stop

Can I take back my reasoning for Lebron eventually creeping toward GOAT status? Pharmcat just sullied everything up with that comment.

If they can creep up to that 4 seed I'm going to pencil them in for a WCF appearance.

That would probably definitely give them the edge on the Melo trade

I think it's time to starting talking about them as the best team in the West.

impressive win for denver. still can't see them beating the spurs or memphis but they match up good with okc.

ijag23 · Post #398 » by **ijag23** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 2:32 am

30-7 in 2013. Probably looking at 16 straight going into San Antonio next week. They got screwed by that ridiculous road heavy start, otherwise they'd be right there going for that top seed.

They are super deep, Iggy bring superior defense, Miller brings a veteran presence and they are as physical as any team with the exception of Miami.
