    I never seen a team choke this bad in ANY SPORTS game than what i witnessed tonight. It was constantly choking...it's amazing. They're lucky to hold on and win it though.

    Gallo is always underrated in GARM. People just dont realize how big Gallo was to the Nuggets!

    Lol the Warriors almost choked away this game without Gallanari playing. Would Gallanari stop them from hitting threes? Probably not. But Gallanari sure as hell would pop off some of his own.

    I don't get why it's so funny that the experts/analyst all picked Denver, they were the favorites and the majority of the NBA fans picked Denver

    They are analyst they aren't fortune tellers.

    Gall is instant offense, which is what Denver was lacking.

    Gallanari shot 41% on the season, the same results most likely would have happened.

    Acting like Denver lost an all-star player or something.


    Oh and Golden St. lost Lee.

    Yeah.

    About 80% people picked the Nuggets here so they were obviously the big favorites going in.

    Not only cheating, but cheating with a stripper! So how many time has he _not_ been caught? Presumably this is some sort of biblical violation. Keep preaching, Mark!

    I have never ever seen a 17 point lead vanish...and blantly dumb plays by their pg curry and company...this was bad...and wouldve gone down as one of the biggest choke jobs ever...the fans wouldve had a heart attack...thats on coaching, i bench guys that make mistakes like that, and put in guys that dont...seriously...17 to 2...Denver almost completed the comeback...

    Gallo by himself beat us in a regular season game. Having a shooting threat out there makes Denver's halfcourt offense a lot better.

    New Jersey blew a 21 pt 4th quarter lead against Boston and actually lost the game a few years ago.

    Lee was truly overrated in this match up with Denver...while i do think Lee is a solid player...he clearly wasnt the X Factor in this matchup...

    The next round will be a quick and painless end to the warrior's season... The Spurs will do everyone justice...

    Clippers did it to Memphis last year...but this was bad...Memphis was just missing shots...GSW were giving possessions with terrible passes...there was 2 minutes and GSW was up by 8...that is just terrible coaching decisions...Mark Jackson had this confused look...in total disbelief of what was happening before his eyes..

    Agreed. Gallinari isn't a difference-maker.

    The telling fact is the Warriors inevitably imposed their will on the Nuggets in the 3rd quarters of each game and there was nothing the Nuggets could do to stop them.

    The Nuggets squad that played with aggression, passion and force during the regular season didn't show up in the 1st round.

    Call me crazy, but as long as the Warriors shoot reasonably well from outside, a healthy, mobile Bogut is more important to them than having "All-Star" David Lee. Bogut gives them skilled bulk and bite on the inside and keeps a complete chump like Festus Ezeli on the bench where he belongs.
