No, because that's not an excuse for a division leading playoff team to lose by 10 points to a division rival, and losing the 2nd game of a back to back by 36 because you're tired isn't an excuse either.

And the Waaaaavericks will see Denver in the playoffs only if the Waaaaavericks get lucky and make it past the 1st round.

Edit:
Dallas:
2/8 @Golden State: W 127-117
2/9 @Denver: L 127-91 (with Kidd and Dirk)

Denver:
2/5 @Lakers: W 126-113 (without Melo)
2/6 @Utah: L 116-106 (without Melo AND Chauncey)

Let me reiterate, Dallas has NO excuse for last night's blow out loss.

please post less garbage. thanks.

Skizzik, the nuggets beat a slumping Mavs team on the 2nd night of a west coast back to back missing 2 starters. The nuggets won, great. Leave it at that.

1) What exactly am I crying about?
2) What does two of Denver's bad loses to bad teams have to do with anything?  Besides, those two loses were par for the course for Denver, who is only 12-8 vs teams below .500. 
3) You're right.  1 game out of 82 doesn't mean that Denver's better than Dallas, but, as of 2/10, their records show that Denver is better.  Dallas is better by 1 game vs the East (14-5 to 13-6) but against teams that matter, Denver is better by at least 3 games (this could obviously change between now and the end of the season).

Overall: Denver 35-17, Dallas 32-20
West: Denver 22-11, Dallas 18-15
+.500: Denver 23-10, Dallas 17-16

And the Nuggets lost by 10 to one of the best home teams in the league on the 2nd night of a West Coast back to back without their two best players (did I mention Denver was in the game, and had a chance to tie it late?).  Denver should've won, and there are no excuses for losing to a division rival that you have a chance to sweep.  Dallas lost by 36 without 2 starters and with their two best players.  Dallas got crushed, and there are no excuses that can be made for that.  Had Dallas lost by 9-10-11 points, then your excuses hold water.  But they lost by 36, and in the same situation a few days earlier Denver lost by 10.

When the **** did I say losing to bad teams is okay? I said it's par for the course for the Nuggets this year, which, at 12-7 vs losing teams, it is. If you think that's saying it's okay to lose to bad teams, then you're dumber you sound.

Btw, what's better: 23-11 vs teams .500 or better, or a great record vs teams that don't stand a chance at making the playoffs? I'll take the 23-11 vs +.500 and 12-7 vs -.500.

i can post garbage stats just like yours too. Denver is 12-13 on the road, while Dallas is 17-11. now what does that mean? absolutely nothing. teams with records within a couple games is not enough to determine if they are any better than the others. if that is the case, then there is no reason to play in the playoff, and whoever won the most game at the end of the season should be the NBA champs.

anyway, i am not gonna bother with you anymore. no point in jumping down to your level and argue.

Actual Game - Didn't see much of it but the highlights look the same as always. Lots of O, No D, excitingish finish.[/B]

I find it funny that the only time you post on this thread is the few times the Nuggets actually show up to play. Your team is going to lose in the playoffs. There's nothing to see here, move along...

You do realize that Denver is 24-11 vs teams .500 or better, 36-18 overall, 1st in one of the toughest divisions in the NBA, and the current 2 seed in the West right?

Btw, since my team is the 2 seed in the West (and one of the best teams in the league) with 2 blow out wins over the Lakers and 2 wins over the Cavs (who also beat the Lakers twice), when exactly am I supposed to post here?

If Orlando loses tonight, I think Cleveland wins, because the refs, unlike the Denver/LA series, are tipping the scales in Clevelands favor. That might change now that Kobe is in, but Im not going to hold my breath.

It's far more than a couple of bad calls. Had you watched game 5 of the West Finals, you would have seen the Lakers whcking away at the Nugs and the refs swallowing their wistles. You also would have seen the refs call fouls on the Nuggets when they would whack the Lakers. I'm not saying the fouls shouldn't have been called on the Nuggets, I'm saying they should've been called on LA as well.

I picked the Lakers to go to the Finals this year after beating the Nuggets in the WCF. Nuggets will have a better chance of beating them this year, and they have the players to do it, but I think LA still wins in 7. Now tell me, what dreams would the Lakers be crushing?

@nder: Aside from my "AH HA!" moment after excerpts of Donaghy's book came out, when have I mentioned the officiating this season? Besides, from what I've seen, it's been better this year.

Of course. See above quote regarding how the refs apparently called the games differently from the regular season to the playoffs. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't in the future.

And honestly, you're turning to a convicted criminal who got paid to slander the rest of the refs to try and make himself look better as the source of confirmation that your conspiracy theories about the refs making certain teams win were right?

True, but if the officiating is better inthe regular season, wouldn't it be reasonable to think it will be better in the playoffs as well? Besides, I only slammed the refs for Game 5. The way the Nuggets didn't show up in Game 6, they deserved to lose that series. And that is why I don't think they'll get past LA. They have a tendency to either become immature and act like 2 year olds, or decide they don't need to play any defense. They did both in game 6 vs LA.

I am sure this means nothing to everyone else and I fully accept the fact that I am supporting a team that will get destroyed in the first round by the likes of Cleveland or Orlando (please please please let us play Boston again!), but I am pleased that the line-up next year will be Rose-Heinrich-Deng-Gibson-Noah. Oh, and maybe someone named Wade or Bosh as well...

God...the only reason why I would watch a basketball game is if the Heat are playing and Wade is healthy. If the Heat let go of Wade I have ZERO interest in watching the NBA.

I am not quite sure you remember why the trade didn't occur. The Lakers wanted a package that involved at least Deng, Gordon, Thomas and Noah. Give the Bulls more credit that that...
