Nuggets-Cavaliers

[JoeTait75]

Cavaliers going for their franchise-record 14th straight win. Mo Williams is back but Jamison will not be in uniform tonight. (I don't think.) Nuggets have already beaten the Cavaliers w/o Carmelo (Aaron Afflalo killed it that night.)

Good luck to Nuggets fans. And best wishes to Coach Karl. :tu

[milkshakeballa]

shut the fuck up faggot.....see you in new york next year bitch

[Thunder Dan]

The Nuggets are a really likable team with a bunch of good guys on it, so I'm ok if the Cavs lose tonight.

no I don't think he is


you don't like JR Smith, Melo, Birdman and K-Mart? why not?

[Ode to Triple Ocho]

The Nuggets are a really likable team with a bunch of good guys on it, so I'm ok if the Cavs lose tonight.

Yeah JR Smith and Martin are stand up human beings :rolleyes :rolleyes

[redzero]

Looks like Jerry West went to the game to support his new favorite player.

[Banzai]

Denver doing good so far.

[Allanon]

Pretty good game by the Nuggz.

[Thunder Dan]

Cavs miss Big Z

[redzero]

Kenyon Martin's tearing it up with those wide open dunks.

[ffadicted]

I'm jumping in the Nuggets 2010 NBA Champions bandwaggon, cuz for the love of god I don't want to see Shaq or Kobe get a 5th, much less lebron get his first

Go thuggets Go

[JustBlaze]

Lol Melo w/ 5 rebounds in 10 mins. That bastard could easily average 9-10 rebounds a game if he actually tried every game. But it'll never happen, he's too focused on scoring and tends to look to beat every player in a foot race to the other end of the floor once a shot has been taken.

[Thunder Dan]

looks like the Cavs are still on the All Star break

[picc84]

Thugz have a lot of chemistry.

[23LeBronJames23]

It will be nice to see Cavs make history. But I dont about Nuggets they might even beat the Cavs.

[redzero]

Carmelo and LeBron are building houses with their bricks.

[23LeBronJames23]

Parker with the 3!!!

[Banzai]

Afflalo for 3.

[23LeBronJames23]

Wow Cavs need to make their freethrows they're only shooting 50%

[ffadicted]

Come on Thuggs, wake up

[Banzai]

lol shaq.

[redzero]

Wow, that ball stayed on the rim forever.

[Ode to Triple Ocho]

Cavs aren't winning shit this year.

[gaKNOW!blee]

lebron playing like ass

[redzero]

Suddenly, nobody on the Cavs knows how to shoot free throws.

[Banzai]

boobs with the off balanced shot.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:toast good win Cavs. Lebron shows why he is light years ahead of Melo.

Melo is a selfish sob......... God bless sons :bang

[Banzai]

:toast good win Cavs. Lebron shows why he is light years ahead of Melo.

Melo is a selfish sob......... God bless sons :bang

Nuggets are down 1..relax.

[Chieflion]

Back and forth now. Hope this goes down to the wire.

[Banzai]

down 4..could be worse for the Nuggets.

[san antonio spurs]

Carmello not getting any calls

[gaKNOW!blee]

Lebron fouled Melo right before that oop to Hickson....but other than that he's pretty much been owning the fuck out of him all night.

[himat]

Carmelo needs to stay composed. I hate the Cavs come on Nuggets you better get going again.

[Allanon]

Don't fuck this shit up Nuggz. Nuggz and Lakers winning tonight would be a great night.

[TinTin]

I fucking hate the Cavs, I'd much rather see Kobe win his 5th to be honest


I'm jumping in the Nuggets 2010 NBA Champions bandwaggon, cuz for the love of god I don't want to see Shaq or Kobe get a 5th, much less lebron get his first

Go thuggets Go


What? :lol

[j.dizzle]

LOL nuggets, like I said, too many immature hotheads on that team. They're too crazy in the head to beat a good team in a 7 game. Too many chuckers & they collapse when shots are clanking cuz their D isn't good enough other then afflalo

[Banzai]

Nuggets still in this.

[j.dizzle]

Denver might pull it off if they play smart & get into the paint. Billups should stop clanking long shots also, drive & get to the line atleast

[Chieflion]

LeBron got his triple double.

[jacobdrj]

Denver might pull it off if they play smart & get into the paint. Billups should stop clanking long shots also, drive & get to the line atleast

Why? Its what he does... That mentality got him to 7 straight conference finals...

...

...

...


:facepalm

[Banzai]

JR for 3..swish.

[redzero]

LeBron is God.

[Banzai]

only fitting Lebron gets a whistle lol

[PGDynasty24]

that was a foul???? wow

[himat]

Weak call. Oh well. Nuggets better win this. 2 and half minutes for them to pull this off.

[himat]

Chauncey! Nuggs up 1

[PGDynasty24]

wow cavs getting some cheap calls

[Chieflion]

See the replays, that is a clear foul.

[himat]

They finally call that over the back foul. Cavs have done that a lot today. Come on now Nuggets.

[himat]

Cavs getting a lot of calls right now.

[himat]

James huge 3

[gaKNOW!blee]

big time shot there

[redzero]

Carmelo and LeBron are talking now.

[sribb43]

I thought lebron could play D...Melo roasting his ass

[lil_penny]

Two big plays by melo and james

[Chieflion]

That is what the prime time players do.

[himat]

Come on Nuggets.

[lil_penny]

Wow where's the call on that?

[Banzai]

fucking refs.

[ShoogarBear]

Ho, ho, ho.

[sribb43]

:lmao...hickson get superstar treatment

[ffadicted]

Damn that Billups shot was almost in, good game, Cavs with the 6th man in zebra uniform as always

[himat]

Chauncey needs to drive that. Dammit I want the Cavs to lose. Come on Nuggets.

[Allanon]

WTF? A 3 to win a tied game?

[timtonymanu]

LMAO Cavs getting the stern treatment.

now some of the LA/Bos game will be missed.

[picc84]

Mr. Brickshot + George Karl

There is no reason that doesnt go to Carmelo.

[gaKNOW!blee]

lol taking a 3 at the buzzer when the games tied...dumbest shot possible

[Chieflion]

Billups is mad. He should have given it to Melo and stayed the hell out of the way, not the other way around.

[Killakobe81]

WOw.Great game. BUT Denver getting hosed on the road with calls Billups was CLEARLY fouled ...
Lebron is a beast the future of the game he doesnt NEED bad calls to help him win ...
BUT either way Lakers will not lose ground on their closest competion one way or another ...

[himat]

Damn that Billups shot was almost in, good game, Cavs with the 6th man in zebra uniform as always

And it doesn't help that the Nuggets are a team that can easily implode. A couple more weak calls and the Nuggets could collapse.

[Allanon]

Billups also had a chance to toss it to KMart on the turnover but was crying about the foul instead.

[himat]

BUT either way Lakers will not lose ground on their closest competion one way or another ...

But you guys are 1.5 games behind or something like that. Very few teams are beating the Cavs these days so you should be hoping the Nuggets win today. :lol

[dirk4mvp]

I'd rather watch more of this than the abortion of a game coming after it.

[Killakobe81]

I agree. though you have to drive but the way the game is going they would of never got the call ...
Chauncey is good but he does take some bad shots late ...he hits some misses a lot ...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I'd rather watch more of this than the abortion of a game coming after it.

see we don't disagree on everything

[Chieflion]

Prime time players take the last shot. Both James and Carmella passed on the last shot.
Melo didn't touch the ball while Billups was chucking the ball like a mad man and missing everything. And LeBron is supposed to shoot from 30 feet while not recognising the open man?

[himat]

Good shot Melo. Lets go Nuggets

[himat]

Come on JR.....

[himat]

If JR gets hot Cavs are toast.

[Allanon]

Damn, looks like Smitty went and got more tattoos.

[Shastafarian]

lol at Chauncey.

"Timeout? Fuck that shit I'm goin' deep."

[himat]

Holy crap LeBron. Dammit

[himat]

Nuggets better hack Shaq when he gets it deep to neutralize him.

[himat]

K Mart!!

[lil_penny]

Hey varajao how do k marts nuts taste lol

[ffadicted]

K K K Mart

[Shastafarian]

Does KMart still do the glass tap after a dunk? I thought the league made that move illegal.

[picc84]

Nice little battle between Bron and Melo.

[himat]

I hate how LeBron can get away with bull rushing into the paint like a half back and he can get any call he wants.

90% of the time he gets hacked but he gets away with putting his shoulder into the defender a lot.

[Budkin]

Wow Varajaeo had to eat some nads on that one.

[dirk4mvp]

fuckin Billups.

[Budkin]

B-B-B-B-Billups!

[picc84]

Follows the Brickshot with a bigshot.

[ffadicted]

BOOM BILLUPS!!

Game over BITCH (idk why I'm cheering for the thuggets lol)

[himat]

Mr. Big Shot in LeBron's face!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Isn't it funny that for the past nine years, every shot that Kenyon Martin takes in a game-deciding situation is guaranteed to clank?

Seriously.
Every shot.
For nine years.


He's like Hedo times a bajillion.

[redzero]

Finally, a big shot from Mr. Big Shot.

[Banzai]

Billups clutch.

[Allanon]

B-B-B-Billups.

[Chieflion]

Ouch, almost no way for the Cavs to respond to that.

[himat]

BOOM BILLUPS!!

Game over BITCH (idk why I'm cheering for the thuggets lol)

I know why I am. :flipoff the Cavs. :lol

[Budkin]

I want to root for the Cleveland fans but I can't root for Shaq or Lebron.

[DazedAndConfused]

Billups with the dagger.

Nuggets need to play smart now and not allow any 3's.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

rofl
how the fuck do black people get pumped up for final possessions of overtime when they are blaring eminem on the PA

ROFL
if they could speak candidly their comments would be gold

[j.dizzle]

sons, billups redeems himself after that stupid fuckin shot at the buzzer..Lets see if Bron gets a wide open 3 right here lmao...btw fuck the refs, ball dont lie bitches

[Killakobe81]

Lebron is having a great game but the fade away 3's late Lebron needs to eliminate from his game ...
But he is THE FUTURE ...

[Allanon]

Hahah, Laker game hasn't even started yet. Great.

[HarlemHeat37]

Cleveland has the best closer in the game, they aren't out of it..

It's an uncharacteristic ending though, Billups actually made some clutch shots, so Lebron will probably uncharacteristically miss in clutch time..

[picc84]

Earl Smith doing dumb shit.

Thuggets dont blow this.

[himat]

Cavs still in this.

[HarlemHeat37]

uh-oh, Anthony Parker in clutch time at the FT line..usually means 1/2..

[ffadicted]

Fucking JR Smith reminding us why the Thuggets will never win a 'chip

[HarlemHeat37]

Lebron missing in clutch time is just weird..

[Killakobe81]

As my man Chick would say that is NOT a Phi betta Kappa foul by JR and Kenyon chokes his ...RIP Chick ...

Like I said Lebron NEEDS to stop!

[picc84]

For the love of christ, Thuggets. :lol

[ffadicted]

James with the double choke lol
Thuggets failing here

[ShoogarBear]

What a choke job that was.

[gaKNOW!blee]

Not Lebron's night...Denvers got this

[himat]

Lebron missing in clutch time is just weird..

Not really. He doesn't make too many jumpers in crunch time. He usually takes it to the basket.

[Shastafarian]

Wtf

[Allanon]

K-Mart shooting his team in the foot again.

[himat]

Dammit LeBron. Dammit.

[Banzai]

I called that whistle.

[picc84]

Damn, Lebron is amazing.

[dirk4mvp]

good choice by James driving instead of chucking another 3.

[HarlemHeat37]

wow, what a fucking shot by The Closer..

[PGDynasty24]

this is some horrible referring,how was that a foul?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Man. LeBron is babied by the refs so much. That's why I want them to go to the finals. They're the only team that can truly compete on level ground with LA.

[Budkin]

Give me a break... obviously they call that.

[j.dizzle]

lmao denver cant get a board to save their lives..fuckin veraflop sure hustles though, I give him credit for that but he gets away with so much shit hahaha

[ffadicted]

Everyone notice how lebron just drove the basket cuz he knew the refs could give him the And1 to tie the game? I'm starting to agree more and more with BRHornet, this shit is rigged, get rid of FTs!! lol

[lefty]

Kenyon Martin is such a retard

[Killakobe81]

You know what ... bad call he just slamming in to Nene ...
But Nuggets arent smart this game should be over ...

[HarlemHeat37]

Not really. He doesn't make too many jumpers in crunch time. He usually takes it to the basket.

Not this season..his shooting % is extremely high on jump shots in clutch time this year..

[Chieflion]

Nene always get fouled out in crunch time.

[lil_penny]

Wow

[picc84]

Melo cooooold blooooodeeeeeed

[lefty]

Melooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[gaKNOW!blee]

lol damn what are you gonna do?

[Allanon]

Nuggz always do this stupid shit to lose games.

Give him 2 points and the Cavs would have had to foul.

[dirk4mvp]

sons what a clutch shot.

[PGDynasty24]

nice shot by melo and here comes a whistle while lebron is shooting a 3 pointer

[ffadicted]

CAR CAR CAR CAR CAR MELOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Aint' no choke from a real superstar baby!! He don need no ref help

[Shastafarian]

Burn

[himat]

Good shot, but I wish time wasn't left on the clock. Someone is going to hit a 3 for the Cavs. Dammit.

[Budkin]

Melooooo

[HarlemHeat37]

Nene's arms were forward when Lebron attacked, and then he put them up straight at the last second..definitely a foul in the NBA..

[Killakobe81]

Melo in that A$$ but Lebron is STILL better when he drives ...

[lefty]

Tnt wtf

[Chieflion]

Melo with the game winning shot. Lets see how LeBron responds.

[DJ Mbenga]

lebron should learn to faceguard

[Allanon]

Melo, nice.

[Budkin]

Wow that was almost the shot against the Magic all over again.

[Banzai]

Thank goodness.

[himat]

:wow I thought that was going in.

[timtonymanu]

LeBron looks like hes gonna cry. Haha fuck him!

Drama Queen James.

[Kobe Molested Me]

Lol run off the floor and cry lebron

[DJ Mbenga]

damn straight to the locker room. why is lebron in a rush?

[Killakobe81]

Lebron not a clutch SHOOTER ... clutch driver ... Yes!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

rofl lechoke

[ShoogarBear]

Well, justice was served.

[picc84]

Sons, the Denver Thuggets are the best team in the league right now.

[Banzai]

Now its time to go watch the Lakers get fucked...:-/

[himat]

Wow that was almost the shot against the Magic all over again.

Exactly what I thought. The second he caught it at the top I thought he was going to make it. Luckily he slipped.

[lefty]

the Cleveland Lebrons


James has like 50/50/50 and yet his team loses

[PGDynasty24]

how did he even get that shot off? there was only 1 second on clock...

[Allanon]

Thank you Nuggz, I take back all I said :lol

[lurker]

Aww, slipnuts. Thank you, Lebron.

[HarlemHeat37]

Lebron is shooting like 55% in clutch time off jump shots this season..what the fuck are you guys talking about?..

[lefty]

The crabslip

[Budkin]

I wonder if LeBron will skip the press conference. Baby.

[himat]

Carmelo did very well at the end. After starting off 6-20, he hit 7 shots in a row including a game winner.

[Lp26]

it never gets easier watching Billups on the Nuggets :depressed

and :lmao at Lebron, never fails to show what a sore loser he is

[sribb43]

Lebron is not clutch

[Gutter92]

Now its time to go watch the Lakers get fucked...:-/

i dont know, the lakers are playin better now than they do with kobe...i'd say they win...

[Budkin]

The crabslip

:lmao

[Budkin]

i dont know, the lakers are playin better now than they do with kobe...i'd say they win...

Agreed... Lakers can easily win this game... Gasol has been tearin it up.

[Truckules]

Melo is the toughest guy in the league to guard other than Kobe and Lebron.

[sribb43]

Mavs have no shot against the thuggets.....fuck you Joe dumars

[timtonymanu]

This is why I respect Kobe more than LeBron.

LeBron tries to act all classy but when he loses he acts like a 5 year old brat who cant have candy.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't understand why people are criticizing Lebron for being mad about losing LOL..what do you want him to do?..

[sribb43]

Didn't lechoke do the same shit against the magic last year?

[himat]

Melo is the toughest guy in the league to guard other than Kobe and Lebron.

D Wade? Melo tends to chuck instead of drive a lot. It seems like its easier to get in his head than other superstars.

[Killakobe81]

Wide open Jumpers agreeed lebron hits those ...
COntested ones not so much ...
AMAZING game by lebron in a close loss ...That reminds me of the ECF last year ...

james chokes when it matters

[himat]

This is why I respect Kobe more than LeBron.

LeBron tries to act all classy but when he loses he acts like a 5 year old brat who cant have candy.

I respect Kobe way more than LeBron because he wins off fundamentals while LeBron succeeds because of his athleticism.

I just hate how snobbish the Laker fans are though, so I wouldn't know who to root for if the two teams faced in the Finals.

[sribb43]

Melo has postgame lechoke just starts at the top of the key and barrells his way to the bucket

[ducks]

I don't understand why people are criticizing Lebron for being mad about losing LOL..what do you want him to do?..

he could have said great game to melo

I think a player should be upset they lost

[san antonio spurs]

I have a problem with the people in clock management. How can someone slip, gather himself, go around a defender and still get off a shot in 1sec.
:wtf

[lefty]

Imagine Cleve--I mean, Lebron fans after a championship. That should tell you who to root for.

[sribb43]

Expect the cabs to lose some games with Jamison early on....varejao minutes will be cu and it will hurt them on D....Jamison D is awfUl

[himat]

Wide open Jumpers agreeed lebron hits those ...
COntested ones not so much ...
AMAZING game by lebron in a close loss ...That reminds me of the ECF last year ...

The Jamison move will be huge now though. Cavs now have 2 players (Shaq/Jamison) to guard the 2 guys that destroyed them in the ECF (Dwight/Rashard).

Everybody always blames LeBron's supporting cast. There is no way that can happen this year. Cavs FO did everything in their ability to build this team well now LeBron and co. actually have to perform.

Everybody I know said Orlando only beat the Cavs because LeBron doesn't have a supporting cast. Screw that. He has a lot of good teammates especially now. No more excuses.

[himat]

Imagine Cleve--I mean, Lebron fans after a championship. That should tell you who to root for.

But imagine you guys after your 15th (or however many championships you have) championship. :lol

You post legit, but you know very well that in general, the average Lakers fan does not do that.

So many Lakers posters on here try to deny the fact that Cleveland has a very good chance to beat LA this year if they face. I am not saying they will, but you guys should be ready for a tough series if the match up occurs.

I'd probably root for LA because I have a lot more respect for Kobe than LeBron.

[JoeTait75]

Great game. Carmelo was a beast. Props to the Nuggets.

Son, the LA fanbase is already arrogant, in fact we've pretty much maximized the arrogance well and there is much doubt we can get any worse. We operate at max capacity 24/7.

Lebron fans on the other hand. If they win you will deal with the pent up frustration turned to cockiness of a fanbase who's been waiting to talk shit for 100 years. We, Laker fans, will still be arrogant. But you will have yet another base of fans thinking their shit doesn't stink for at least another year.

You dont want that, son. You just dont want it.

[KidCongo]

Terrible free throw shooting. This game was anti-climatic because we have Jamison waiting in the wings.

The streak had to come to end.

[himat]

Wow...Pistons fans have got to be seething after seeing Melo snatch a victory from LeBron...What coulda been if they didn't select Darko...who was also traded once more. Nice game by the Nuggets.

[mystargtr34]

You know Bron took that shit extra serious tonight cuz Melo hit that shot right in his eye. No dancing & singing to eminem tonight sons.

You have to admit, that was pretty funny when he was rappin to that Eminem song. Maybe if it wasnt against the Lakers.. but i thought it was classic.

[kobyz]

how the Nuggets steal Aflalo from Detroit?!?! to bad the Spurs didn't go after him he could have been the next Bruce Bowen for us!

[KidCongo]

Anti-climactic? That was a really close game. And who knows if Jamison blends in perfectly with this team.

I just wanted to see Jamison play and see how he fits in, they've won plenty of games lately. Possibly the wins against the Lakers have given me a (false) sense of security.

[Killakobe81]

From The OC today (via TrueHoop)

The best player in the NBA sat during the Celtics-Lakers game Thursday night. Can't blame him. By then, LeBron James had scored 43 points and added 15 assists and 13 rebounds. Poor fella had to be exhausted. Sorry, Lakers fans, but the best player in the league today isn't your guy. Is there anyone other than Kobe Bryant we'd rather have with the ball at the end of a game waiting to be won? No. Is there anyone better suited than title-tested Bryant to lead these Lakers on another postseason run? No. Is there anyone more polished than Bryant at the art of rescuing unexpected victory from looming defeat? No. But is there anyone in the NBA better than LeBron James right now? No. No. And -- say this one with extra-special emphasis -- no! Breathe deep, Kobe Nation. We know you get a little defensive when it comes to questions about Bryant's status as a living bronze statue. And recall that just a few weeks ago Bryant was anointed as 'unguardable' in this very space. If there's a word that pays greater homage to a basketball player, we've never heard it. But still, James scores more, assists more and rebounds more. He blocks more shots and shoots field goals more accurately, even three-pointers."

I agree with MOST of this ... EXCEPT the 3 point shots ...yes his % is better but I would pay to watch Lebron jack up 3's like he did at the end of the game last night.

Something about when and the WAY he shoots them fading ackwards that bugs me ...

But as the writer states Lebron scores more, rebounds more blocks more shots (though I still think when motivated Kobe is STILL the better defender)

Lebron has passed Kobe (not by whole lot) but it IS tangible. All he needs to do is show it by winning a ring. He HAS the cast now lead them to the promise land at LEast twice ...and the CROWN will be RIGHTFULLY his and his alone.

As a side note even though i would take A lebron drive over ANY basketball play ...I still rather have Melo or Kobe SHOOT with the game on the line ...like the writer states here.

Posted elsewhere thought it fit here as well ..

[picc84]

Anyone who still thinks Kobe is better than Lebron is just flat out deluding themselves at this point.

But thats just me.

I dont care though. I just want a title. The "best player in the league award" doesnt get you jackshit.
