Denver, the new Seattle

[ALVAREZ6]

I was embarrassed being a Colorado citizen

I know how you feel, I can get embarassed sometimes being a Philadelphia citizen.

exactly - we have a tough team.

Doesn't change the fact you will exit in the 2nd round, good luck against the Suns....thanks for trying but Tim and Co. will handle them in the WCF....

i dont get why everyone is worried about denver

we wont see them again till next season even if we do drop to the #4 seed. Phoenix >>>>>>>> denver

they will take care of that ass team for us even though we woulda kicked their ass in the playoffs anyway

Yeah i bet with all those goons they are still scared to meet s.a. in the playoffs

What's the deal with these thugs Denver has? They couldn't beat us straight up, so they employ a bunch of goons to beat us up. Hey George, Seattle tried that last year, We beat them.

Keep your goons, or at least give them back to the Avalanche. Enforcers belong in the NHL not the NBA.

yeh thats true

but i think its also funny how people think the Spurs have an easy run to the finals

If you get the 4th seed, its going to be a tough road (clips would be a tough matchup for anyone)

the 1st seed.......much easier unless the mavs figure out how to beat the Spurs in San Antonio consistently

What insight! I never could figure it out before, but here it goes, the #1 seed gets the easier road to the finals because they earned it! They get to face a #8 rather than a higher seed, which theoretically, would be a better team!
This just in, the Spurs also had the easier road to the finals because they never had to face themselves.

I hate TO more than anybody, but I fear that something will happen at the Linc next year by some crazy fan that's going to really make it embarrassing to be an Eagles fan. The Eagles fans might react worse next year than Detroit acted last year with Artest.


As far as the Nuggets go, this is nothing new. They pulled the same crap last year in the playoffs. They were just as physical as Seattle was. I'm not worried about them, at all. They can't shoot outside that well, and Bowen will slow down Melo. Not completely, obviously, but enough. It doesn't take much to frustrate that guy, and in the course of a series, he'll probably flip out by Game 3 or 4.
