Nugs vs. Sonics

[trueD]

Wow, what a game.

RAYdah Loooooooooove for 3!

Playoff atmosphere.

Both teams must be shooting 55+%...

Fast, defense, shooting. Lots of shooting!

[trueD]

Sonics 44-84, Ray Ray 38 points on 14-26

2:48 left, 106-103 Seattle

Oops, tied up!

[trueD]

Nugs are ahead by 5 with 1:28 left

[trueD]

Ray Allen stripped by Carmelo, fastbreak for the lay-in. Nice.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Melo !!! :smokin

[trueD]

Allen for 3, within 4--1:00 left.

GO ALLEN!

These guys hit their shots, dayum.

::jealous::

[trueD]

Allen for 3 again, this time from the wing. 44 points. Still within 3 with 24:1 left.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:lol Melo must be rusty at the clutch line

Another Nuggets win, 5 game streak!

AI + Melo = 2-0

AI + Blake = 4-1

[trueD]

Allen had a shot to bring it within 2 (after the made FT's by Carmelo), and he muffed it.

Question: Why give up with 13 seconds left and only five behind? Foul, take the game to the line, get a quick bucket at the other end after the T.O. (if they have a T.O. left, hmmm) and could be within 3 with oh, 8 seconds left? Why is there a decision to do this with some teams, and other coaches just elect to let it go?

4get Billups, the Nuggets have BIG SHOT BLAKE :lol

He has hit HUGE clutch 3 pointers in a couple games since he has come here.

Yeah, very good win for Nugs. They have some momentum now, stole it from Sonics (3 game win streak). :lol

J.R. Smith isn't too shabby either.

You guys are going to give the west a run for their money, going to be some exciting b-ball if Mello & AI can stay healthy.

jr smith will get shipped out of there soon, i guarantee it

yeh its going to be great. People will be so focused on those two that they will 4get about JR, Camby, Nene and even Blake :lol

I like the fact that alot of the media say "they arent among the top Western teams yet and wont go too far in the playoffs", coz that means there are no expectations.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

why ? coz he is smiling too much? hitting too many 3's? which one?

[trueD]

I remember Francisco Garcia did that in a game early last year, just shot lights out beyond the arc. It happens to all young guys at least once, sometimes twice. Then they'll try it again, shooting from all over the floor...and nothing. Then reality hits: "It was just your night, gotta keep working on your shot". :)
