Celtics face West Contender Denver Tonight

[Indazone]

Yes this is likely to be another butt whupping by the Celtics but the Nuggets play on their own home floor. I'm torn between wanting the Nuggets to lose ground in the Western Race or watching the Celtics get upset.

[The Franchise]

^ Damn if I'm torn. I hope the Celtics crush them, because we've got some catching up to do.

[Thunder Dan]

no offense, but does it really matter to Rocket fans if the Nuggets are ahead of the Rockets or not in the playoffs?

[Ghazi]

Isn't Nene out tonight?

[The Franchise]

To quote Yao, "See you in Houston."

I don't get it. The Cavs play there Thursday yes

[lefty]

Denver is a West contender ?

[The Franchise]

I don't get it. The Cavs lose there Thursday yes

[Indazone]

Just need to take care of biz on Tue with Portland, worry about Cavs later.

[Ghazi]

Blazers on the road are garbage.

Don't take it the wrong way. Rocket fans think they're the shit since they beat the Mavericks in Houston without JET and Dirk having the worst game of the season.

[turiaf for president]

You're just mad because your team is back to being irrelevant. Since we're making excuses, we didn't have Mcgrady or Landry, gave up 22 turnovers, played with a new starting and backup point guard, and still whipped the Mavs ass. That means you caught us on our worst day, but it was still enough to beat you. See how that works. :king

[balli]

I'm not torn, I hope the C's curbstomp em.

[Pelicans78]

Houston should beat Portland easily at home. I don't know why, but it seems the Rockets are a tough matchup for Portland. Oden will struggle against Yao, Scola can guard Aldridge pretty well, Battier/Artest will annoy Roy, and Brooks can penetrate against Portland's PGs.

Rockets haven't been "relevant" since the Clinton Administration.

[shelshor]

Referee Assignments
Mon. Feb. 23
Boston @ Denver: R. Garretson, B. Forte, O. Poole

[Indazone]

Actually logically speaking. Every other Western Conference Team not named the Denver Nuggets should be rooting for the Celtics tonight.

[ElNono]

denver is a west contender ?

+1

[Ghazi]

There's no such a thing as a West contender. There's the Lakers, and then there's 8 doormats.

[djohn2oo8]

Mavs have never been relevant, See how that works!!!

Bitter Mav fan... what else is new?

Considering the Rockets are a better team without T-Back and every rocketfan agrees with that except you, your argument holds no water.

[dirk4mvp]

Denver is the second best team in the West.

[Pelicans78]

Considering the Rockets are a better team without T-Back and every rocketfan agrees with that except you, your argument holds no water.

They are better if T-Mac is fully healthy. He was playing injured all season.

[ElNono]

Denver is the second best team in the West.

I'll say they're the third best team in the west when they decide to show up to play. That's the problem with Denver... they could be really good if they really tried. The injury to Nene is going to be a problem for them if he doesn't heal by the time the playoffs roll around.
And FWIW, I think whoever draws Denver in the playoffs has a MAJOR chance to move to the second round. Yes, that includes Dallas.

[RedsLakers24]

Im rooting for Denver but i have a feeling Boston is going to kill them

[hater]

Denver is a solid playoff team. But no contender.

[balli]

I'd say third best and I'm humongously surprised by that. 4th best if Utah's 100% healthy. I've always considered Carmelo worthless and I thought Nene was done for two years ago. As they share the NW, I'm really, really pissed that Chauncey would make this much of a difference. They're not even close to being contenders though.

[Ghazi]

Utah's better than Denver when fully healthy.

[tlongII]

Go C's!

[Pelicans78]

Utah's better than Denver when fully healthy.

If Denver gets home-court advantage against Utah, the Jazz ain't winning shit.

[sook]

go Cs!

[sook]

I don't get it. The Cavs play there Thursday yes

...

After probably the worst officiated game for the rockets this year, in Cleveland, Yao was so ticked off he said to the Cavs, "See you in Houston."

[sribb43]

I doubt Nene is playing...C's roll to victory

[Kai]

no offense, but does it really matter to Rocket fans if the Nuggets are ahead of the Rockets or not in the playoffs?

That's like asking if it matters to you if you care if you are ahead of Orlando in the playoffs. Dumb question. If you could be a higher seed, why wouldn't you want to be?

[mavs>spurs2]

Denver with Chauncey Billups actually impresses me somewhat. I think they can give a team a good run in the first round or beat anyone not named the Spurs or Lakers

[Thunder Dan]

...

Oh- it wasn't poorly officiated, the better team won. I remember it perfectly. Yao choked under pressure

I don't think the West is going to come down to who has home court in the Houston/Denver series

[Allanon]

Melo has to have an All-Star night.

All the talk is about Billups but Melo's putting up a very quiet 22 points and 8 rebounds per game.

I hope the Nuggets beat the snot out of the Celtics.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I hope the Nuggets beat the snot out of the Celtics.

Me too. Boston's annoying as fuck, the OKC Thunder would be a playoff team if they set and got away with as many illegal screens as Boston.

The refs were impregnated with lebrons baby since they were all over his dick. And Tim Donaghy was no where near the arena. Terrible officiating, and they only lost by 9. This time Lebron won't get away with the "crab" dribble

a video from 2004 to explain why the Rockets shit down their leg in 2008?

[Kai]

You asked if we, as Rocket fans, cared. Why wouldn't we? Fuck the rest of the west. Maybe Denver/Houston does win the west. The playoffs happen for a reason. If you're so sure that neither is going to win, and everything is going to happen based on what you've seen so far, why don't we just hand the trophy to the Lakers now?

I would just have the Spurs/Lakers play and the Celtics/Cavs play 7 game series and have it be done with- I would love to

if you really feel that way, no need to troll on this thread. Don't even get the rest of us started on the Joke about Amare going to Cleveland you heard from some poster on another forum...

Did they call that?!?!?! WTF LOL he only dribbled twice during that whole stretch. O well it was a nice windmill and it would have sucked more if it didn't count

As predicted, Boston blowing out the Nugs at halftime.

[Indazone]

What can ya say. The Nuggest Suck

[j.dizzle]

nuggets are pretenders & everyone knows it..they will never have the focus to do sheeeeet in the playoffs

[sook]

ok. sorry

No problem, and thanks for being mature about it.

[sook]

Denver is sucking ass right now, good for them though, and us.

[djohn2oo8]

WTF happened??? Was Nene that important???

[ElNono]

I called it... pretenders.

[Def Rowe]

What do you call this? Oh yeah, getting your ass handed to you.

Much like lakers in game 6 of finals

[JoeTait75]

Fuckin C's swing major nuts. Props to the bastards.

[DeadlyDynasty]

wow, they look great w/o KG...don't get me wrong they're great WITH him too, but this team plays uptempo w/o sacrificing their defense. and yeah, let's ban the words "denver" and "contender" from being in the same sentence now.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Much like lakers in game 6 of finals

or the Rockets against any first round opponent:lmao

[Def Rowe]

Much like lakers in game 6 of finals

It's actually pretty close to that,yeah. Wise ass. :lol

[djohn2oo8]

or the Rockets against any first round opponent:lmao


It's too bad Kobe needs Shaq to win a title. I see that you like to focus on the rockets when denver hasn't been past the first round much either. That's cool, at least none of our players are as soft as charmin ultra with a side of jello-pudding (Pau Gasoft)

That act by Denver tonight can best be described as the following

Weak. Just get that Weak stuff outta here.
