So I'm watching Friday night NBA...

big thanks to ESPN for that by the way. All you collegians pay attention. At some point, a sleeping pregnant wife, a found in the back of the cabinet bottle of Makers, and a Denver/Miami game will be an awesome Friday.

Anyway, I realized it's a battle of the coach who can't be fired versus the coach who is pretty much assured of being unemployed if he doesn't win a gold ball. Nobody's firing the coach that beat cancer and had his entire team stripped. Spoelstra made the Finals last year and is a dead man walking unless he wins it all.

If Coach34 were as important as he thinks he is, Stansbury would be on thinner ice than Spoelstra.

So glad Carmelo is not there anymore.

My goodness, that is straight hate... I am not the biggest LeBron fan and I doubt I'll ever see myself cheer for him, but the Cavs fans just kill me some time. Would much rather go to a game in Denver and heckle LeBron instead of watch their team...more than likely lose to the Lakers. That is just too funny to me.

It's hockey on hardwood!

I couldn't name a single Nugget outside of Galinari (and I can't even spell his name) before I started watching this game. And I watch a decent amount of NBA games. The only reason I knew he played for them was because he was part of the Melo trade.

 

[Incognegro]

I know they don't have the...prettiest roster as far as names go...but they got some ballers on their roster.

tando off the bench. I know Chris Anderson still plays but he's a shell of the player he used to be.

Right about the time I figured out they gave us the Grizz games on an alternate FS or Sportsouth channel. Denver, Utah, and Golden State used to be my favorite teams to catch late night. I got it for Kobe and Brandon Roy, but ended up watching Warriors/Nuggets/Jazz games to see Monta/Melo and Birdman/Kirilenko and Williams.

Anyway... can't remember the last Denver game I actually watched.

 

[seshomoru]

looks like he's ready to put on the uni and flashback to the NBA Jam days.

 

[Incognegro]

As far as Birdman, K-Mart and J.R. Smith... aren't they currently stuck contractually in China or some other overseas basketball team?

 

[Incognegro]

I would prefer to watch him play instead of listen to him over the mic. Hearing him say, "Hand down, man down!" just made me miss Mark Jackson that much more.

 

[DAWG61]

and the condensed schedule has done wonders for my NBA enjoyment. The Timberwolves, Kings, Warriors,Nets, 76ers and Cavs are all teams I've watched this year when in years past I would of never watched them. Kyrie Irving is way better than I thought he would of been. Same with Brandon Knight, Marshon Brooks and Rickey Rubio.

 

[Incognegro]

that is just too many games for me to keep up with. Also, I've been wanting to watch the 76ers. Their point differential is absolutely ridiculous...and after tonight it's just going to inflate even more. Despite them not playing that many high caliber teams...that's just not something you can overlook. I'm real curious to see just how good they really are.

right now. Hasn't gotten in the game yet.

Spencer Hawes. He's my favorite 76er. He played like one year for Univ. of Washington. He's a 7 footer. Good player nobody knows about.

 

[Incognegro]

It's just hard to believe that the 76ers have come out of no where to beat the teams like they have been. Just a little bit more than 13+ points between made and attempted? That's insane...

a great coach (Doug Collins) and are loaded with good not great players like Igoudala, Evan Turner, Elton Brand, Hawes and Lou Williams. They play unselfish basketball and great defense. Their leading scorer comes off the bench (Williams). Just shows when you have no prima donnas and play as a team you can be very good.
