For those keeping score at home, that's exactly 3 teams over .500 in the Least. Yikes.

Worst conference collectively in the history of sports. If the Nuggets were in the East they would freaking get to the finals.

Lesson Learned: Don't bash the East on a day the Nuggets are playing an Eastern Conference team.

:( @ losing to the Hawks.

I'm just glad that Altitude went to Julie Browman after the last timeout to hear that Karl wanted: not to go to OT, the ball to go to Melo, and only have someone else take the final shot if they could not get the ball to Melo. Glad everyone got that info before watching Miller take the inbound pass, not even look in Melo's direction, and drive to the hoop and throw up a prayer.

That was like a granny shot with his eyes closed. Unbelievable.

17 point frickin lead in the 4th.

Yep, and Melo was PISSED about it after the game. Apparently, he stripped off his clothes before he even got to the locker room. Then, DPO quoted him after the game as saying he didn't "want to say anything I'll regret". Hopefully, this isn't the beginning of a riff with him and 'Dre.
