David Stern's Tantrum - A Loser Thread. [WCF Game 6]
So the other night, Dever let us down. We were expecting it to be competitive, but something funny happened along the way. For 3 quarters, it looked like it was going to go down to the wire. Tied after the 1st quarter, tied at halftime, tied after the 3rd quarter. What followed was not pretty. ...
2008 Olympic Basketball Day Two: Inside the Box Score
For an explanation of the "Inside the Box Score" posts go here. Lithuania/Iran: I watched the majority of this one and was struck by 2 things: 1. It reminded me of USA/China in the sense that the Iranians kept it close through one quarter and then got blown out from that point on, particularly in...

Off Day Offerings
Apparently George Karl has realized that a repeat of the same personnel and strategies from game one would be futile, which means there is still hope to extend this series to five games. It sounds like Linas Kleiza will probably replace Anthony Carter in the starting lineup to help alleviate at...
2008 Playoffs Game 1: Denver Nuggets 114 - Los Angeles Lakers 128
Box Score Well, that went about as well as could be expected. From start to finish the Lakers pretty much picked the Nuggets apart with their tremendous passing and for the most part made Denver look like the no D team everyone believes them to be. The Lakers passed the ball so well the...
2007-2008 Game 78: Denver Nuggets 117 - Los Angeles Clippers 99
Box ScoreThe Nuggets may have started a little slow in LA against the Clippers, but they picked up the pace in the second half and cruised to an easy win. The short handed Clippers played hard, but it was easy to tell that they really did not expect to win. I thought from the start the Nuggets...
2007-2008 Game 71: Denver Nuggets 120 - Memphis Grizzlies 106
Box ScoreJerry Schemmel, the Nuggets superlative radio announcer and all around amazing person, put something we all have noticed into words on the radio yesterday. He said something along the lines of Denver typically feels out their opponent early in the game in order to determine how hard they...
2007-2008 Game 71: Nuggets/Grizzlies Game Thread
Denver now heads into what was supposed to be the sure thing on this road trip, a date with the Memphis Grizzlies. However, it is the Nuggets fifth game in seven nights and Memphis knows it. The Grizzlies have won three of their last four at home, with the only loss coming to Boston. It may be...
2007-2008 Game 70: Denver Nuggets 109 - Toronto Raptors 100
Box ScoreThe Nuggets pulled off another road win and I now expect Denver to make the playoffs. You are probably thinking to yourself that I have lost my mind. The win in Toronto was really that big of a deal was it? Well, combine the fact that the Nuggets have shown some backbone on their road...
2007-2008 Game 69: Denver Nuggets 125 - New Jersey Nets 114
Box ScoreFrom this point on I am of the opinion that a win is a win. The Nuggets flat out need wins. If Denver plays like crap and wins, I am going to be OK with that. At this point in the season there are no moral victories or style points for a loss and conversely I am not going to take away...
