Game 55 | Nuggets vs. Cavaliers | February 18, 2010 | 8:00 EST

[InBoobieWeTrust]

MB is in a TOUGH situation now. I mean, I know Hubie loved the 10 man rotation...but realistically you're gonna be using 9 and that's pushing it in the playoffs.

Bron, Mo, Jamison, Shaq, Andy, Delonte, Parker, Moon, Z(if he comes back...insert Powe or Hickson otherwise) is the rotation I think you have to go with. Jawad has been good and so has Boobie, but there just isn't room for those guys. Experiment time is OVER. Starting whenever we get Mo back full strength and Antawn ready to go.

It's time to get the rotation ready and work out all possible kinks before playoff time. No more screwing around.

This game was partially on Mike B. He came out of nowhere with some retarded ass lineups, and there is no reason

A) Parker should be getting so much PT
B) J-Moon should ride the bench all game

Lebron didn't help matters chucking up so many low % attempts and bricking his FT's.

At this point let's just hope BOS pulls out a win.

Has anyone asked Windy why Moon has obviously fallen out of favor? He is a much better rebounder than Jawad. At least a couple of times Jawad just watched the Nuggets grab uncontested rebounds that he should have had...I know Moon is prone to disappear on the offensive end, but I can't believe that's why MB hasn't been playing him.

Let's just blame the loss on Parker when he missed 2 out of 3 of those free throws.

With so many options at his disposal, MB still finds a way to put out the worst possible options at the worst times. I'm impressed.

 

[Matt S]

I am.

That team is beast. What is their weakness? A good bench, a superstar scorer in Melo, a veteran PG who with the scoring ability and experience they will need, and one HELL of an active front line...

They're real good, no doubt about it. But so are we, and everything changes in the playoffs. I'm still more worried about meeting the Lakers in the finals. I like our inside presence against Denver's, given our full roster. Melo could've easily missed the jumper at 1.9.

They learn EVERYTHING. They learn, although they should already know this, not to take a top 5 team lightly. They learn that if they played defense in the first half, the outcome could have been differently. They learn they suck shooting FTs and must practice to get better.

They learn a lot.

They should have learned that they suck at free throws at least two months ago...

 

[Selby]

Did you just proclaim not to make an excuse, then make an excuse??? :chuckles:

I like your moves...

Not an excuse when it is the truth.

Well, we kinda have to play the games first...

 

[flamez]

I don't get what the heck are you guys complaing about?

Lebron took a three early in the shot clock (bad play, I admit), Boobie got the rebound though and gave it to Lebron.
Lebron took another bad three, but again we end up with the ball. Lebron then drives to the hoop and gets an And 1, he also make the FT.

I think your complaints would hold more ground if no one on our team came away with the rebound and Nuggets would extend the lead to 5 or 6. That DID NOT HAPPEN!!!!

Melo made a shot over Lebron's hands. Lebron missed the attempted game winner.

The reason we lost is because OUR TEAM AS A WHOLE missed too many FT's. Our TEAM AS A WHOLE played crappy defense.

Mike Brown's teams will not and can not win games when they allow a team to score well over 100 points.

I think we should be concerned with how we defended the nuggets more then anything else. That team shreds us on the pick and roll and MB is too stupid to make adjustments.

 

[Oreos]

Funny enough free throws missing was the same reason we lost the last game against denver.

23-40 .575 tonight
18-29 .621 in denver

Both games lost by 2 points.

Of all the teams in the NBA Denver is the one that worries me right now. I think that we can beat them in 7 though.

 

[CHIMOCHIS]

lol AP had the best +/- numbers on the team with +15 . BRON BRON tied for 2nd worst at -5

 

[Andrew]

anyone want a good laugh? go read cavfagnatic and tell me how fans can be that distraught after one loss to the top team in the league.

 

[udilicious42584]

Well if it makes anyone feel any better, atleast we don't have to worry about Cav-killer Flip Murray tomorrow night!

 

[Matt S]

Let's just blame the loss on Parker when he missed 2 out of 3 of those free throws.

I think Boobie did that too. Just wasn't our night. We shoot 60% from the line and win without going to OT.

 

[Real Deal]

So LB made 9 threes and shot 1 :chuckles:

What a majestic display of ability, I didn't even know he could do that!

LOL yeah what the hell was that about 9-1 haha
