This stuff usually gets reported in newspapers or online sites and I've never read anything like this even in the multiple stories about the behavior of Utah's crowd and player's reaction to the viciousness. Anyway, can you point me to a source anywhere that corroborates your report of the numerous uses of the n word?
its a damn shame the Nuggets are failing the way they are...I think Rockets fans can relate to having to lose your coach at the end of the season (get back soon Karl!) but I had figured that they would be able to handle Utah especially after Okur hurt himself in game 1. Karl is far more important to that team than I had originally thought. Dantley just looks lost out there at times. I have to say I am a bit disappointed that Billups hasnt tried to show more leadership and same with Melo. I think this series ends in Utah in game 6. Wow I cant believe that the Jazz could advance and if the Thunder do the unthinkable the Jazz would have home court again in the second round much like in 2007 when they matched up with the 8th seed.
Well after people starting tweeting him saying he was aiming that at Melo he said this. http://twitter.com/JR_Swish/status/12867396039
Everything you said is true but I'd like to add that I think Billups is showing his age while Deron is showing that he IS the best pg in the game.
It could turn out eerily similar. 8th seed Thunder beats 1st seed Lakes (GS beating Dallas). Utah gets home court and wins, advances to WCF and loses to San Antonio. Pretty Much what happened in 2007 and they're also the 5th seed against the Rockets 4th seed (Nuggets 4th seed).
Considering, if you read my quote again, "I heard the n word", no I can't. That said I watch 99% of Nugs games sober. So no I don't have difinitive proof, but I know what I heard.
Just to give you Rocket fans indigestion, if that scenario were to happen, Utah would have home-court against the Spurs in the West Finals.
I reserve the right to change my mind: But with J.R. Smith and Melo spouting off, it looks like game 6 is already played. I expect the Nuggets to start the game out like tigers, but once the Jazz catch themselves, counterpunch and the Nuggets feel serious opposition, they will crumble and lose. Their last stand will be the beginning of the 2nd half. If everything doesn't go right for them, the team will quit in a huff and the Jazz will win going away and the Nuggets will get booed off the floor.
It may have something to do with the perfect timing and the solid screens (sometimes illegal :grin: ) they set.
Dude, no wonder your ass got demoted to rookie status! You aint got no rep! Stop posting on this board!
I think the game will depend on the Nuggs willingness to play as a team. If Melo, Chauncey and JR try to be Michael Jordan, the Jazz will demolish them.
