    And guess what? If we did beat the Nets and Nuggets, we would be 17-8, with the 3rd seed and 3rd best record in the nba.

    But no.

    So what? What would those wins mean? This team as is can not beat the Warriors or (most likely) the Spurs in a 7-game series.
    What that means is things can change, record will probably not reflect the team by the end of the season, hopefully big moves are made in the meantime.

    Every team has a team or teams that they just cant beat. Isnt this a positive? We are 12-8 despite shooting poorly against all other teams. 2 teams that wont make the postseas9n and we never face again are inconsequential

    stop this nonsense already.

    denver has 10 wins for the season. how many do we have? yeah, exactly. so where's the sense of superiority come from?

    and i just checked the standings. out of the 30 teams in the entire league, 16 teams have more wins than us right now.

    the point is, the team (along with its fans) needs to give up this "we reached the wfc last yr." or "we're vastly talented" sorta mentality, and put ground work in. do some dirty work, especially on rebounding and defense - both of which require EFFORT first.

    We have the MVP!!!!!

    We know exactly who this is on.


    LOL @ blaming fans anyway.

    1/3 of Denver's wins are against us with a point diff of 15.0+ vs their -10.0 against everyone else.

    Dwight attitude and offensive fouls have to stop, dude understands little about getting rebound position. You can't just grab people and push them out of the way. This is the new NBA and then to get mad at coach JB, wow! Also, he outlets the ball so slow that it hinders our fastbreaking opportunities.

    respect your opponent. everyone of them. that's sports 101 stuff. the lack thereof is, in part, what exactly got the team to where it is right now.

    and if by "mvp" you meant "most vulnerable player", then i wholeheartedly agree with you. :p

    true. and he's been like this his entire career.

    still remember one play where he slammed and flatten a 310lbs yao into the ground - for no reason.

    What does it matter, when Hard-on walks every ball up at a snail like pace? I don't know how you can complain about a half dozen outlet passes - when 30 or 40+ posessions are started even slower...?
