Nuggets @ Blazers

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

ready for this tlong?

I gotta favour your boys, being the first b2b of the season. I hope it is a close and nasty game :smokin

[tlongII]

This should be a good one. The NW Division is the toughest in the league this year so there's going to be a lot of scraps.

Wow. That is like the 1st thing you got correct since the off season.

[anakha]

I wonder if Melo's looking to reprise last night's dunk, this time against Oden.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

looking forward to seeing oden on tv.

[crc21209]

No J.R Smith, no win on a back 2 back for the Nuggets. Plus the Blazers are a very tough team at home..

[Morg1411]

Melo scores 45 points, Nuggets lose by 5.

[DeadlyDynasty]

No J.R Smith, no win on a back 2 back for the Nuggets. Plus the Blazers are a very tough team at home..

unless it's the playoffs

[crc21209]

unless it's the playoffs

True true...+1

[Morg1411]

unless it's the playoffs

:lmao

Ouch.

[JamStone]

Over/under on Greg Oden's made field goals: 1.5

[AussieFanKurt]

Itll be a game decided by under 5 points

[Muser]

Nuggets win by 10+.

[tlongII]

At least the Nuggets will be a more challenging game at home than the Lakers.

[Lars]

I'm thinking the Nuggets are gonna steal this one. Wasn't too impressed with the Blazers in thier win over us.

[Kai]

I like the Blazers, but some part of me just wants to hate them because of tlong's cockiness. Anyone else share this feeling?

Everyone else

[Culburn369]

Yeah, but, there is a softness to tlong. He's wounded, some personal event has taken place. Women problems? Job loss? A death? He's probably holding on by a thread. His fandom is his lifeline.

Anybody who can dedicate a thread to that '77 NBA Championship has a beating heart. There ain't nothin' wrong with that.

as much as I hate the Lakers..for some reason, I love that video..maybe it's the song in the background...that song is perfect for it.

[tlongII]

Donaghy's book has answered my questions regarding that game. I'm over it now.

[DeadlyDynasty]

no you're not, or else you wouldn't be so obsessed with the Lakers still. Obsession is a sign of jealousy. It's alright, we're here for you Tlong:toast

[tlongII]

Oh, I won't deny I'm obsessed with beating the Lakers. Just like every other man, woman, and child in the Portland Metro Area. We have a lot more history with Lakers than just 2000.

[milkshakeballa]

I think the Nugs win straight up...but as long as they stay within 15 for my teaser I'm happy! :)

[tlongII]

You're getting 15 on your teaser? Damn!

what other games have you parlayed?

[milkshakeballa]

You're getting 15 on your teaser? Damn!


3 team special
CHI +10.5
DEN +15.5
DEN/POR U 208

I like everything but the under of the Denver game...those boys are gonna put some points on the board

That's a good bet.

Bunch of trends point to the U 2nite. Granted...all last year but they both have similiar teams and Portland does actually play pretty good defense...think Nate will want to slow it down against the Nugs.

Wanted to go U with SA/CHI but SA was scoring at will yesterday and I didn't know how CHI was going to look defensively. With Deng, Thomas improved jumper and Rose back I was thinknig they could score at will. But Spurs offense tonight is the Spurs of old :)

Oh well.

[milkshakeballa]

That's a good bet.


Why...thank you tlong!

GL to your team 2nite!

[Culburn369]

C'mon, T, I'm countin' on ya's tonite to put those Nuggets, head first, straight into the earth.

[Def Rowe]

Why...thank you tlong!

GL to your team 2nite!

:rollin:rollin:rollin

:toast

[tlongII]

Don't worry. I won't be spitting real venom towards you guys until January 8th. :toast

[djohn2oo8]

damn, did anybody see Oden's lineup picture? lmao

[picc84]

I like Melo's evolution as player. He used to be so one-dimensional, and despite being a great scorer it was holding him back from being a truly great player. Now he's added more facets to his offensive game, with the ability to facilitate and not just score, and is playing on both ends. He can actually be referenced in the same draft class as Bron and Wade and its not a joke anymore.

[KSeal]

Nuggets throwing up airballs and shit. They can't score a point.

[picc84]

Chauncey is the king of taking pullup transition 3's with no teammates down the court. And bricking them. Reminds me of Jwill.

[Lars]

10-0 run by the Nuggets...eek

[Many PackYao]

Fucking Outlaw looking like Kobe against the Rockets the other night and right now against the Nugs he can't hit shit.:bang

[me15lo]

10-0 run by the Nuggets...eek

which is sparked by taking out A fucking C

:tu:tu:tu

[KSeal]

lol Oden

lol Portland's crowd thinking he's actually going to make a move and score.

[dirk4mvp]

Lawson is really good.

[Allanon]

Damn, Lawson's a baller.

[lil_penny]

Damn its nice havin martell back

[KSeal]

Webster annoys the fuck out of me.

[Banzai]

:whine

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

nuggets look like crap. Nene is awful tonight. Melo can't do it by himself. :drunk

[DeadlyDynasty]

Webster annoys the fuck out of me.

he has the Eddie House gene

[lil_penny]

he has the Eddie House gene

He's pretty excited to even play. Remember he played 5 mins last season..


And damn melo has been nothing short of a stud tonight.. the rest needs to step up.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

damn the NW is going to a close fight this season

[Banzai]

He's pretty excited to even play. Remember he played 5 mins last season..


And damn melo has been nothing short of a stud tonight.. the rest needs to step up.

He suffer an injury last season?

[tlongII]

25-10 FT advantage for the Nuggets. :rolleyes

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

25-10 FT advantage for the Nuggets. :rolleyes

its called attacking the rim. Blazers only get points inside off the offensive rebound. :smokin

The Blazers guards need some balls

[Banzai]

25-10 FT advantage for the Nuggets. :rolleyes

Webster suffer a major injury last season?

[DeadlyDynasty]

25-10 FT advantage for the Nuggets. :rolleyes

The Nuggets have been way more aggressive

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

this is where a b2b game kicks in i think

[lil_penny]

He suffer an injury last season?

Yea screwed up his foot during preseason. Then did it again 5 mins into the a game vs toronto.

[DeadlyDynasty]

He's pretty excited to even play. Remember he played 5 mins last season..


And damn melo has been nothing short of a stud tonight.. the rest needs to step up.

you're right bro...just heard his halftime interview. He's a well-spoken guy who genuinely seems thrilled to be back on the court. My bad

[lil_penny]

this is where a b2b game kicks in i think

You can tell with the rest of the team.. but melo never seems to show fatigue. I love that dudes game.

Roy and lma need to start to get in the game.. both teams seem to be playing out of sync though.

[lil_penny]

Eddie house just pisses me off also lol.

didnt Ima get waived?!

[tlongII]

Three illegal D calls in the first half? Yeah right. And some of the calls Melo gets are ridiculous.

[lil_penny]

didnt Ima get waived?!

Yea.. it was either him or patty mills.. blazers made the right choice imo. Ime was a fan favorite and played decent but patty has a lot of upside when he's healthy imo.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Three illegal D calls in the first half? Yeah right. And some of the calls Melo gets are ridiculous.

about time. Lebron/Kobe/Wade have been getting those calls forever. Melo is finally getting the superstar calls , nice :toast

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Yea.. it was either him or patty mills.. blazers made the right choice imo. Ime was a fan favorite and played decent but patty has a lot of upside when he's healthy imo.

i wanted the Nuggets to draft Patty in the 2nd rd if they didnt get Lawson. Gotta support my aussies.

Nuggets need Bogut/Mills/Jawai :smokin

[Danny.Zhu]

Lawson was shut down just like Blair.

[lil_penny]

i wanted the Nuggets to draft Patty in the 2nd rd if they didnt get Lawson. Gotta support my aussies.

Nuggets need Bogut/Mills/Jawai :smokin

Yea lawson, blair and budinger are ones to watch... all of them shoulda went higher. They were steals, budinger will take some time but blair and lawson are nba ready for sure.

[djohn2oo8]

Webster annoys the fuck out of me.

Reggie Miller annoys the fuck out of me

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

just like the spurs game....... Melo doing it all for the nuggets and everyone else is rubbish. Team is tiring quick, Melo was so slow on D then.

Blazers will pull away in the 4th. Nice game though. Next time it will be a different story :smokin

[milkshakeballa]

Webster has really impressed me...

Roy heating up

[KSeal]

I like Websters game.

I do too. Just the fist pump/freak out over everything is annyoing, but he's stopped since the beginning so I guess he was just super stoked early on :lol

[lil_penny]

The bank usually isn't open this late roy lol

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

tlong.....happy now that Roy is getting bullcrap superstar calls? :smokin

[djohn2oo8]

No wonder the Blazers are so good at home, bullshit calls

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

lol exactly....

nice one Blazers, u caught the nuggets on a b2b and the refs called it all your way in the 4th. Congrats :smokin

[lil_penny]

Rudy needs to stop going at birdman lol.
Good to see him starting to heat up on the outside while roys resting

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

nice one refs. Even reggie knows u cant touch the blazers without getting called :drunk

i want the replacement refs back again lol

[Darthkiller]

rudy on fire carrying the blazers

[milkshakeballa]

melo is nice.....

this shit better not go into OT

[djohn2oo8]

Damn, you just could not go wrong in the draft class of 03'....Oh wait, Darko!!!

[badfish22]

i want the replacement refs back again lol

you and me both

[IronMexican]

I don't think anyone complains about the refs more than nuggets-fan.

[crc21209]

Pretty damn good game so far....

[crc21209]

Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Free Throw Fest 09' :lol

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

I don't think anyone complains about the refs more than nuggets-fan.

u 4got all Lakers fan, players and coaches :smokin

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL I can't believe they just called Nene for that..

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

i hate ft fests....... let them play!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

[redzero]

lol Fail Blazers. Where is tlong?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

[djohn2oo8]

refs doin everything they can to ensure a Blazer win

[HarlemHeat37]

He got Webster there..

[milkshakeballa]

Wow he didn't even touch any1...

[carrao45]

Yeah nice box-out Oden

[HarlemHeat37]

Oden has to make the free throws here..ugh..don't have a good feeling here for the big guy..

I hope he makes them..

the refs have been horrible btw..

[IronMexican]

This game needs more free throws.

[milkshakeballa]

Omg u must be shittin me

r u fukin joking me

[redzero]

lol bust

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

refs again.

[IronMexican]

Wasn't Oden supposed to be a good free throw shooter in college?

[Chieflion]

Smart foul, Martin.

[djohn2oo8]

now i feel sorry for oden, he just cant win

[HarlemHeat37]

called it..sucks..

[milkshakeballa]

AW MAN...IM going to ENCOURAGE people not to say ANYTHING to tlong


that was a steak in his heart......



im honestly going to bed worried about tlong....HONESTLY

[Def Rowe]

Wasn't Oden supposed to be a good free throw shooter in college?
:lol

[Trainwreck2100]

melo could have put someone out with those bows

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

41 for melo.....first 40pt game of the season?

[IronMexican]

now i feel sorry for oden, he just cant win

I agree. Leading OSU as a freshman to the NT game, and winning 50+ games in his first season last year. What a loser.

[HarlemHeat37]

BTW, is anybody else annoyed that people still call Billups "Mr.Big Shot"..

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

2-0 on a b2b, ill take it :smokin

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

melo is BALLIN'!

[redzero]

I agree. Leading OSU as a freshman to the NT game, and winning 50+ games in his first season last year. What a loser.

Yeah, Greg Oden was the reason the Blazers won 54 games. He really dominated sitting on the bench.

[Chieflion]

Nuggets win.

[lil_penny]

Good game denver! Had me on the edge of the couch the entire 4th... our free throws in the 4th killed us though.. see you guys next time!

[Chieflion]

I thought this game would decide who is the better player between Melo and Roy. It turned out that Melo is the better player.

[badfish22]

anyone else think that when Roy went up for that 3 it was going in? I was just waiting for it.

And yah, Billups should no longer be called "Mr.Big SHot". Still a great player though.


Carmelo scares the shit out of the Mav fan in me.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Good game denver! Had me on the edge of the couch the entire 4th... our free throws in the 4th killed us though.. see you guys next time!

yeh the 4th was a bit of a joke. Both teams had pretty bad calls against them

I thought for sure the nuggets were toast. Melo stepped up though

[carrao45]

bahaha misses both free throws

How's Oden lookin tshlong?

[Darthkiller]

lol , ouch @ oden and aldridge

[Ice009]

BTW, is anybody else annoyed that people still call Billups "Mr.Big Shot"..

Yep. To be fair I haven't watched many Pistons games and I only watched the Nuggets in the playoffs last season and he was good until the conference finals. Having said that I seem to recall him hitting about 2 or 3 big shots since 2004 so yeah not sure about that name at all ;). Maybe Pistons fans can correct me?

Maybe they should call him Mr. Conference finals. I was always going for the Pistons quite often if the Spurs lost and yeah Detroit really should have won a lot of those conference finals series, but completely choked them up. They wasted a lot of great opportunities.

[lil_penny]

lol , ouch @ oden and aldridge

Broke my fucking heart tonight! Only game 2 but still very dissapointing way to start off the season.

[redzero]

Yep. To be fair I haven't watched many Pistons games or anything, but I seem to recall him hitting about 2 or 3 big shots since 2004 ;).

I think Billups is shooting below 20% in big shots since 2004. I could be wrong.

[dirk4mvp]

Melo is such a fucking beast sons. He was playing around with Roy in the 4th.
