Big big game.

A win would increase our playoff chances big time.

We are been lucky lately.
Blazers were without LMA twice, Nets were without Joe Johnson, now Nuggets are without their scoring and assists leader... altough Miller is probably a better PG than him.

Nuggets are on fire. If we can steal this one I'll be really happy/surprised.

I believe.

ESA it's not an easy arena for them.

Since Lawson injury they are 3-2.

Wins at home vs Philly, Kings and Nets, losses away SA and Hornets...

Faried is awesome. His nickname is MANIMAL since he is part man and part animal.

Faried did not fill a need for us, so I did not consider him in the draft, but looking back I would prefer him to Burke....and I like Burke.

He is relentless on rebounding and defense, often outplaying everyone on the court.

Manimal!

Jefferson better destroy Koufos.......

We have to beat some good teams to make the playoffs and we can't afford to lose at home. We beat them earlier at home. Let's do it again. Big game. That is what it is all about.

Lawson is a huge part of what Denver is all about. Miller is better paired with McGee off the bench

is it just the audio in my link, or does the ESA crowd is VERY quiet so far? and in such an important game...

This is a disgrace. No Carroll and Fournier is starting to get minutes over Hamilton.

Both of them must've did something aweful to Corbin and Karl.

BTW Mo is a walking disaster

Mistakes are going to be made, but we have made too many stupid mistakes.

Post #16 » by **Inigo Montoya** » Thu Apr 4, 2013 2:26 am

i'm not seeing the same focus, energy and ball movement we had in the last few games. we are settling for far too many jump shots. and corbin let that stretch of the 3rd quarter last too long.

Post #17 » by **StocktonShorts** » Thu Apr 4, 2013 3:02 am

Mo, Foye and Corbin have to go. They were all AWFUL tonight.

Embarrassing, ugh, I'll be hearing about this one tomorrow.

Post #19 » by **Inigo Montoya** » Thu Apr 4, 2013 3:11 am

really disappointing game. jazz got outplayed, out-hustled, and out-coached. badly.

al's reluctance to even attempt to contest shots and layups was really glaring tonight, as was corbin's ineptitude.

i don't mind if foye stays, but he CAN'T be a starter. he should be used as what he is - a spot up shooter off the bench.

I watched the Lakers beat Dallas yesterday and they are playing good basketball. We needed the one tonight and looked terrible. I think the Lakers who have a lot of home games are going to make the playoffs. Sad for the Jazz. Gordon looked good at times.
