Not to be a Debbie Downer, but you guys really needed to take that lead going into the half. Utah was pretty happy about their lead the other night, until they blew it. LA is now a very good second half team.
By the way, I'm impressed. Denver is far better defensively. I figured they would be, though. Plus, they have a lot of depth. I've seen them probably three times since the Melo trade, but it helps seeing them play against the defending champs.
We're too sir. In the past 5 games or so, our first half defense has gone below the new team's standard, but second half we've been giving a 30, 35, 39 second half pts to opponents.
Youu ain't seen nuthin yet.
My streaming still sucks, I have no clue why

Chandler hooks Kobe's arm, grabs his waist, then hits his shooting arm, and nothing.
Do what you can, I guess. Good luck.
Lucky shots like that against us Nuggs and then he acting like it was pure skill are why I hate old Mamba

We shot under 30% and Gallo is Shaq at FT line... and only trailed by 7 to Lakers at halftime on the road? I'll take it.
Still 24 mins to play

Unlike Melo era, we counted on J.R. as X factor, but we have many weapons now. Case in point, Nuggets couldn't score in the 4th quarter against Kings in last game, and Felton scored 14 pts. Other nights, it's Nene, Ty, or Wilson Chandler carrying the offense.
But like always in every season since we acquired J.R. in 2006, he's always had a poor-average first half season, and strong second half season.
But I have long time ago quit counting on J.R. to have big games against Lakers

Nobody on Lakers can stop Lawson... that's for sure. Unless Kobe wants to stick to him, and Ty is faster than Westbrook. Ty getting to the lane means drawing defenders and = open shooters... unless Bynum wants to protect the paint by himself and leave Nene open.
I assess one thing that gives this new Nuggets team problem = athleticism. Athletic teams like Heat, Thunder can give us trouble. But old Kobe, Gasoft, awkward Ron are no athletic.
I sense that Hines Ward would flagrant foul Ty or one of our screeners and Kenyon and Ward getting into fight.
Nuggets 105, Lakers 89.
Have I mentioned our defense? Yeah, even Kobe would be like "WHA?? I CAN'T SCORE!!! These THUGGETS ARE FO REAL!!!"

Great win.
We've become a very good defensive team after trade... 90 pts allowed on the road? Never happened in a million years in Melo era.
But real test is coming next game vs Lakers.

How about OMFG and LMFAO

^I agree... can't ask more.
It's nice to see guys are happy playing together. They now know they're not mere role players, but part of a unit... their contribution is expected and relied on every night... they're much more willing to play defense hard every possession. In our first 14 games since trade, we were the 2nd best defensive team in the L (just a hair behind Bulls) in that stretch.
I never bought Karl's speech before every season that he wanted the Nuggets to emphasize defense... but I now believe him.
I used to think aside of great coaches like Phil Jackson, Gregg Popovich, coaches don't play much factor in Ws/Ls but after last season's experience when we played .500 ball after Karl was sidelined to cancer (we'd been the 2nd best team in the West), and now post Melo trade... I'd say coaching in NBA is a BIG part of Ws/ Ls.
It's also nice for arena announcer Kyle Speller to yell "Gaa-llo" chant now, replacing the famous "Mee-llo".

Nuggets (except Al Harrington & Gary Forbes): keep it up
Al Harrington & Gary Forbes: request a trade, fake an injury, go home, just don't show up... your black hole ways can have negative impact on the rest of team.
-
^Yeah, in fact, the fatter and uglier someone is, the better a chance he is a bully at our school...
How you become a bully by looks? Strength is the rule.

^Yeah but ESPN Australia doesn't show the second double header... sometimes do, most of the time don't.
Just watched the highlights on ESPN.com, great D by KMart on Manu at the end.
Without Harrington, we'd have lost this game, not many times we say that.
-
My streaming sucked bad I couldn't see what's going on.
Ginobili always goes for the kill, he takes a three when they have a 2 pt lead to demoralize opponents' psyche.
We won, but I don't think we can catch OKC for 4th seed.
-
I really like what I see from the Nuggets, though. I've watched 3 games of theirs since trading away Melo and, even though they aren't as talented as they once were, they play with so much more effort and intensity that I actually enjoy watching them more post-trade as I did pre-trade.
Yes! :glasses:
My streaming still sucks.

This Neal kid has killed us all season long, can't he miss?
We took tons of FTs, but missed 10+... had we converted our usual percentage, we'd have a double digit lead.
-
I <3 this team...
When Harrington plays like God, we're pretty much unbeatable. But that comes like once every 25-30 games.
We gave up 69 pts at half (a regularity when Melo was here, but first since trade)... and only gave up 29 pts so far in 2nd half.

You can have Al back if you want
Just give us a first round pick
-
Billups has lost his explosiveness, so he keeps chucking outside shots. He gains confidence when his shots are falling. When they don't, he does little else, aside of some timely passes... but there are also turnovers.
Guy seems obsessed with his "leader" and "Big Shot" tag... although most players have probably tuned him out...
He's by no means a cancer, but he can be a liability at times.
-
The usual arena announcer "Mee-lo" chant became "Gaa-llo"... love it
-
When he said before season started, "why can't I be MVP?" I thought he was bullshitting... but he walks the talk.
He has the desire to be great, he has that rare Kobe Bryant drive.

Well, I like this version better...

One thing that is a bit off for me...
I grew up in Indonesia (Asia), the fat kids in our schools ruled... they were THE BULLIES... the skinny little kids got picked on. Big kids like Casey, who clearly had advantage in size, weight, strength, were the bullies.
So I don't understand why he put up with bullying for "years", when he clearly knew he had physique advantage. I guess that was why he was calm even when he got punched.
He's very nice kid though, he's got kind heart.

Missed the game
totally forgot about this...I know this would come
"J.R. did a great job at playing point guard, came off the bench and had a really great energy," said KarlA control-freak like Karl trusting the shot-happy J.R. to be his team's PG when Ty sits? It's a testament to J.R.'s ball handling and passing skills. I know guy's passing skill is incredible
-
You got high standard if that sucks, what's good for you? And I wouldn't describe Guetta as "talented". Talented is word you use to describe a new up and coming artist/ dj. He's real deal... proven superstar in his field.
Gaga's songs were alright until she decided to coke and look like Amy Winehouse
lol @ Nicki Minaj
Denver at LA Lakers

I only hate LA when they play Nugs
Gallo is playing like Dirk Nowitzki with ball handling skills
Whooooosh Ty with a steal
Concern is this monster Bynum, two guys blocking him out and he still got a rebound, 14 rebds???
Props to Lakers for their D tho, definitely best D so far on us since Melo trade.
