[spursistan]

*Draymond Green is OUT vs Nuggets..that could get interesting..

*Carlisle has gone full Pop thIs season: ..Dirk, Parsons, Wes Matthews and Deron Williams all Out rested ..would be amazing if they don't get blown out in OKC..

[Spurtacular]

Man, Rockets fighting to stay above .500. I always said they sucked though.

[Mitch]

There will be some circle jerking today, Warriors are set to drop one since they're putting it on cruise control. No need to give 100% in Denver of all places.

[spursistan]

Don't think it is a stretch to say a healthy Wizards is top 4 team in the East...they have been snake bitten this season..and have actually some solid wins when they are full (Spurs/Cavs/Mavs)..

[Kawhitstorm]

Carlisle doesn't seem to be afraid of playing anyone outside of the Dubs/Spurs in the 1st rd. He also rested all the starters except Parson following their 2OT win against the Kings but they ended up beating the Pelicans.:lol Tonight seems like an insult to Billy Donovan & Carlisle would most likely run circle around him in the playoffs so he's just going to save Dirk's legs & let the walking injured (Wes/Deron/Parsons) rehab.

I wouldn't be surprised if OKC's defense made Javale/Barea seem like Amare/Nash, tbh.:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Don't think it is a stretch to say a healthy Wizards is top 4 team in the East...they have been snake bitten this season..and have actually some solid wins when they are full (Spurs/Cavs/Mavs)..

They also just beat the Bulls, their issue is that they are extremely inconsistent.

[Kawhitstorm]

The Nuggets took them to OT in the game Faried almost broke his neck so they might be afraid of retaliation.:lol

[Mitch]

The Nuggets took them to OT in the game Faried almost broke his neck so they might be afraid of retaliation.:lol

Nah, Warriors have two solid blowouts against Nugs this season. There's no reason for them to in Denver guns blazing.

[spursistan]

they are having some success playing Small ball with Dudley at center..they are not totally out it; if they could catch break with injuries they could become a dicey low seed you wouldn't want to face in R1 if they sneak in..in fact all series from 2-8 seed out East will be on upset alert :lol..

[Venti Quattro]

Yeah, they can beat up the Lakers by 65 tomorrow if they miraculously lose to Denver tonight

[Mitch]

Isn't Faried out, too?

Nuggets have no chance.

Pepsi center is one of the toughest arenas for the road teams when the Nuggets are competitive/healthy & Gallo is rolling so they could have used Draymond.

[Venti Quattro]

Pepsi center is one of the toughest arenas for the road teams when the Nuggets are competitive/healthy & Gallo is rolling so they could have used Draymond.

But they're not competitive. They lost to the Lakers... in Pepsi Center

[Kawhitstorm]

Isn't Faried out, too?

Nuggets have no chance.

Leading scorer Danilo Gallinari (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3428/danilo-gallinari) is averaging 25.8 points in five games since returning from a sprained ankle, while rookie Emmanuel Mudiay (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3892818/emmanuel-mudiay) (ankle) had 11 and six assists in his first game back from a month-long absence during Sunday's 95-92 win over slumping Charlotte.Gallinari recorded 27 points and the Nuggets held on despite going scoreless over the final 4:17.

"It was kind of an ugly win at the end," he said. "I'll take it. We needed one."


Denver was without Kenneth Faried (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/6433/kenneth-faried) (personal) for a second straight game and Jameer Nelson (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2439/jameer-nelson) sat out with a hip injury, though both are expected to play tonight.

[Kawhitstorm]

But they're not competitive. They lost to the Lakers... in Pepsi Center

You forgot the HEALTHY part. They were missing Gallo/Mudiay & Kobe was making BS shots. They have now gotten back Nurkic (along w/ Gallo/Mudiay) who could maul the Warriors in the paint.

[Mitch]

Isn't Faried out, too?

Nuggets have no chance.

Up to the Warriors, if they want they can blow the Nuggets out. Still, I think they're planning to slow it down - they have the Lakers and Pistons coming up before facing Cavs again and that will be an important game.

[Venti Quattro]

:lol Westbrook

[140]

JJ trolling the shit out of chimpbrook :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

A Tunisian professional basketball player leading the Mavs in scoring.:lmao

[Kawhitstorm]

Harrison Barnes:lmao

[Kawhitstorm]

Derrick Williams shitting on the Nets:lmao

[spursistan]

How many close games are Celtics going to lose? :lol

[Spurtacular]

Tuned into Hulu now; but it was good to see the Dubs down to the Nuggets, 38-44.

[ducks]

GSWStats
GSWStats – ‏@gswstats

Nuggets lead the Warriors by one point (55-54) at the half. Golden State's record when trailing at the half this season: 5-2.

[spursistan]

:lmao Pacers..3 straight steals by Celtics leading to fast break buckets..

[D-Wade]

WTF Indy :lol

[spursistan]

:lmao Pacers..3 straight steals by Celtics leading to fast break buckets..
make that 4th Stl :lmao

[Kawhitstorm]

make that 4th Stl :lmao

Pacers have ALWAYS been a turnover machine during crunch time under Vogel.:lol

[DAF86]

Warriors down 10 going into the 4th.

[Thread]

Warriors down 10 going into the 4th.

Tonite, TONITE the Nuggets are ready to play themselves some b-ball.

ha.

[ElNono]

Warriors got this

[DAF86]

And just like that a 4 pts game

[Venti Quattro]

The Warriors look lost without Draymond Green

[spursistan]

Warriors got this
dat Raymond Green is overrated tho :lol

[Thread]

Nuggets get a hard on in the middle of a week. A-holes.

[Kawhitstorm]

Nurkic leaving he game is a blessing in disguise b/c he was starting to wet the bed; Jokic is much more skilled & better suited to handle the Warriors desperation defense.

[Kawhitstorm]

Why is Mudiay shooting a 3?:bang

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Draymond for MVP? :wow

[spursistan]

still plenty of game..Dumb team + Warriors 3 ball = no lead out of reach

[Kidd K]

Not looking good for Warriors but there's still a lot of time left so I won't get my hopes up unless they're still down 9 with like 2 mins left

[spursistan]

Why is Mudiay shooting a 3?:bang
that last airball 3 :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

[Thread]

Oh, yeah, I can see it all now:::

- "We had patience, we kept our mouths shut and kept working. Then we got the best record, now all the games will be here where shit doesn't stink. We're good. We're honest. We never do anything wrong. We do things the right way. Oh."

- SF

Fuck this shit. I'm goin' to couch and watchin' old reruns of "Lets Make a Deal."

[DAF86]

Worse than that 3 was curry's free layup at the other side. You can't fall asleep like that in crunch time.

[Kawhitstorm]

Draymond for MVP? :wow

They went to OT last time when Curry left the game in the 1st half while the Warriors were up 20+ at the Oracle. The Warriors MVP is the Curry/Draymond TWO man game.

[DAF86]

Nuggetts are doing everything in their reach to lose this game.

[spursistan]

Nelson singlehandedly sinking the Nuggets..

[Kidd K]

Okay

[ElNono]

dat Raymond Green is overrated tho :lol

Just tuned in. He's not playing?

[spursistan]

Just tuned in. He's not playing?
nope..Rest..

[ElNono]

I blame the altitude, tbh

[Horry Hipcheck]

Gallinari keeping pace with Curry, 27 and 5 so far against Steph's 30 and 4. Curry's got 3 steals and 9 assists though, making up somewhat for the fact that it's taken him 22 shots to put together 30 points.

[Kawhitstorm]

I blame the altitude, tbh

Do you blame the altitude for the OT game at the Oracle too?:rolleyes

[Robz4000]

Warriors got this

[Horry Hipcheck]

Curry with half of GSW's 3-point attempts

[Reck]

Damn, good ass game.

Unexpected from the Nuggets.

[Kawhitstorm]

Gallo is top 5 in Points per shot since he came back from injury.

[ElNono]

Can't remember Darrel Arthur hitting that many shots since he was 8ing us with Memphis

[ElNono]

Do you blame the altitude for the OT game at the Oracle too?:rolleyes

No, just this one

[spursistan]

Warriors should have rested Green against Lakers....Denver and Portland are trickiest road stops even when they are shitty..

[SpursFan86]

Wow, looks like GS is actually going to lose to Denver.

*knocks on wood*

edit: welp :lol

[Reck]

Jameer you fat ass. Get the fuck out.

[spursistan]

Nelson singlehandedly sinking the Nuggets..

[ElNono]

Warriors got this

[loveforthegame]

What can you do when Curry is hitting that shit.

[BatManu20]

Nuggets about to blow it. Only up 2 now.

[Kawhitstorm]

Darrell Arthur playing like he did against the Spurs during the 2011 playoffs.:toast

[DAF86]

Fuck that shit :lmao

[BatManu20]

Curry's unreal.

[wingster]

Still say Denver's winning

[Robz4000]

Nuggets remembered they were tanking too, it seems.

[Kawhitstorm]

What can you do when Curry is hitting that shit.

Foul him & making he shoot 2 FTs. 3>2

[Horry Hipcheck]

Boom. Two point game, 39 seconds.

[Texas_Ranger]

Lol, its the nuggets, what did you expect. Them not to lose?

[ElNono]

Lmao Curry

[Reck]

Welp Curry fucked up for once.

[loveforthegame]

Gallinari with the defense on Curry. Damn that was pretty.

[Kidd K]

Its over

[spursistan]

:lmao Curry ..do that with Kiwi guarding you..

[wingster]

Game

[Horry Hipcheck]

Looks like Curry's deal with the devil only covers shooting accuracy

[Kawhitstorm]

Jameer Nelson should donate his pay check for this game.:bang

[Robz4000]

:lol Curry

[loveforthegame]

:lol

[ElNono]

:lol not over yet

[Robz4000]

:lmao fucking Thompson being clutch

[Reck]

Denver sucks. :lol

No defense whatsoever.

[spursistan]

Damn..that 3 ball will always keep these fuckers in it until you kill them off..

[Robz4000]

Just gonna go ahead and say Dubs got this.

[ElNono]

Denver out of timeouts

[spursistan]

if I'm Denver i will foul if it is 3 point game after FTs..

[Horry Hipcheck]

if I'm Denver i will foul if it is 3 point game after FTs..

Anything else is setting Curry up to either win it or force OT from like 40 feet.

[Robz4000]

if I'm Denver i will foul if it is 3 point game after FTs..

They'll just say whoever gets the ball got fouled in the act.

[ElNono]

lol Gallo

[Robz4000]

:lol Thompson dribbled

[Boogie Munster]

Thompson :lmao

[Horry Hipcheck]

Lol here comes a Curry heave to win it

[D-Wade]

:lmao fucking Thompson being clutch

And then he ruins it by dribbling

[Reck]

Dumb motherfuckers. :lol

[DAF86]

What an overrated worthless piece of crap Gallinari is.

[wingster]

Of course Denver would miss that second one.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

lol refs cheating

[ElNono]

chew on that, faggot

[Robz4000]

Good shit Denver

[loveforthegame]

Good job Denver. :tu

[Reck]

How were they able to move it to half court? Still didn't win.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Refs asking Curry how many seconds exactly he needs to get a clean shot off before reviewing to see how much time should remain

[BatManu20]

Damn Klay almost won that :lol

[Horry Hipcheck]

Thompson :lol

[ElNono]

How were they able to move it to half court? Still didn't win.

worrierrefs

[Reck]

What an overrated worthless piece of crap Gallinari is.

He won Nuggets the game...

[Spurs 4 The Win]

worrierrefs
this

[baseline bum]

What the fuck, how did Golden State get to advance the ball when Thompson had already taken a couple of dribbles by the time the timeout was called?

[Robz4000]

Still, how the hell did GS get to advance the ball? Klay clearly dribbled before the timeout.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

What the fuck, how did Golden State get to advance the ball when Thompson had already taken a couple of dribbles by the time the timeout was called?
refs

[Mugen]

:lol Mouth Breather Raymond being the MVP of that team

[Horry Hipcheck]

Curry playing 40 minutes on busted legs in a loss

[DAF86]

:lol warriors
:lol thinking they can rest folks and chill to wins like the Spurs do
:lol Kerr stealing Pop's playing style
:lol Spurs wannabes

[Robz4000]

The Dubs have really looked mortal over the past month or so.

[Kawhitstorm]

Warriors should have rested Green against Lakers....Denver and Portland are trickiest road stops even when they are shitty..

Walton:lmao

[Robz4000]

:lol Mouth Breather Raymond being the MVP of that team

:rollin

[DAF86]

He won Nuggets the game...

Mmh don't know about that. They made their game winning run with him on the bench. Either way, he's still and overrated worthless piece of crap.

[Kawhitstorm]

Pepsi center is one of the toughest arenas for the road teams when the Nuggets are competitive/healthy & Gallo is rolling so they could have used Draymond.

I called it BITCHES! BOW DOWN TO YOUR NEW OVERLORD! :king

[Kawhitstorm]

:lmao Curry ..do that with Kiwi guarding you..

:toast

[spursistan]

Pepsi center is one of the toughest arenas for the road teams when the Nuggets are competitive/healthy & Gallo is rolling so they could have used Draymond.
Also,Moda Center (Blazers) and Energy Solutions (Jazz) are tough place to get W even wen those teams are sucking balls..they get a lot of opponents on 2nd night of B2Bs there..

Luke Walton apparently didn't get the memo, Rookie Coach:lmao

[Robz4000]

In other news, :lol Heat giving up a huge run to a Griffin-less, DeMonkey-less Clippers team.

[spursistan]

Luke Walton apparently didn't get the memo, Rookie Coach:lmao
they lost last season to an even shittier Nuggets team when they rested both :lol..Should have known better..

[Texas_Ranger]

Heat suck.

[D-Wade]

I know he's injured but Hassan Whiteside getting outplayed by Cole Aldrich :lol

[ducks]

Luke we did not play hard enough no credit to Denver

[spursistan]

pathetic showing by Miami getting drilled by Clippers wit out two of their best players..

[spursistan]

Heat will be out of East playoff picture by the time that schedule balances out between home and road..

[Kawhitstorm]

Chris Paul making Cole Aldrich seem like a competent NBA player.:wow

[D-Wade]

Heat will be out of East playoff picture by the time that schedule balances out between home and road..

Pretty much. Looks like the team quit on Spo.

[Kawhitstorm]

pathetic showing by Miami getting drilled by Clippers wit out two of their best players..

Deng/Bosh getting outplayed by Pierce/Aldrich:lmao

[Kawhitstorm]

Heat will be out of East playoff picture by the time that schedule balances out between home and road..

The only challenge to the Cavs is a relatively healthy Bulls squad, tbh.:sleep

[spursistan]

Deng/Bosh getting outplayed by Pierce/Aldrich:lmao
Clippers role players have sneakily come around in Blake absence (Pierce,Prigioni, jOhson are all contributing) ..more reason to have them stay at 4th seed..I really don't want to play them in 2nd round..we will win but it is going to be knock-down, drag-out fight series that might take a lot of our guys..

Yeah, they have too many scrubs that could randomly go off like Austin Rivers. With OKC you know what you are going to get outside of Waiters having one efficient game in a 7 game series ala JR Smith & Morrow getting white hot shooting 3s ala Mike Miller but they are both known commodities. Roberson just doesn't have the ability to go nuclear even like Barnes.

Hopefully, Blake will ruin their flow when he returns:lol & the Grizz are also falling to the 7th seed along w/ the Jazz staying at 8th.:toast
