Can we all appreciate what LeBron is doing right now? He is just playing amazing, effortless basketball at the moment.

There have always been Laker fans who blame Kobe for everything. It started with the Kobe/Shaq feud. The fans who took Shaq's side have always hated Kobe. It's weird.

Lestat · 02-13-2013, 07:36 PM

Kobe has less haters as he gets older due to the maturation of his overall game and the realization of just how great he has been for so long.
some hate him due to Shaq getting traded, others won't let go of the rape charges and others still because people keep trying to compare him to Jordan(as good as Kobe is, he's no MJ).

LeBron is playing like everyone has thought he was capable of.
i think a lot of it has to do with finally winning a title and getting that pressure off his back. now he can just go out and ball.

Jesus. Talk about spoiled. I mean come on. The guy is a Top-10 player and brought a few rings. So many franchises (mine included) would kill for a guy like that.

I think the reason a lot of people hate Kobe is that he's a dick. I wonder if Jordan played in the same era if he would have been viewed a bit more similarly. He, by all accounts, didnt seem like the nicest guy in the world either.

Rip Jerry Buss

RhymesayersDU · 02-18-2013, 08:42 AM

Sad news about Jerry Buss.

Jason in LA · 02-18-2013, 02:46 PM

If Jerry Buss could be anybody else, it would be Hugh Hefner. If Hugh Hefner could be anybody else, it would be Jerry Buss.

I agree, Reggie, I agree.

Cheap ass management. I hope the White Sox fail.

Amen

RhymesayersDU · 02-26-2013, 03:29 AM

Was at Pepsi Center last night. Fun game, way too much purple there per usual. But a win the fellas needed after a few losses. Hopefully Gallo can play on Thursday.

This race for the 4th seed is going to be tough. Memphis isn't going to lay down. The game in 2 weeks (Memphis @ Denver, March 15) is going to be huge.

spdirty · 02-27-2013, 10:23 PM

Great win tonight. They really needed this one. Now bring on the Thunder.

bombay · 02-27-2013, 10:32 PM

Nuggets have 14 at home and 9 on the road left. Memphis has 11 at home and 16 on the road. I think the Nuggets can make up the 2.5 games they trail by.

RhymesayersDU · 02-28-2013, 04:18 AM

Hell must have frozen over, the Nuggets (1) won a road game and (2) didn't completely implode down the stretch.

Finally. I think Nuggets fans have been waiting for a win like this. And Portland may not be anything special, but whatever it was big for us. Ty is on some kind of run right now, which is great to see.

Let's see how this Thunder game goes. I have it penciled in as a loss, but we're tough at home maybe we steal another against them.

Kaylore · 03-01-2013, 08:19 PM

Anyone watching this game? If you like good basketball, watch the Nuggets and Thunder game right now.

spdirty · 03-01-2013, 08:46 PM

Awesome 2nd quarter. That 3 at the end sucked though.

bombay · 03-01-2013, 08:59 PM

Did the espn halftime bozos even mention the game they are watching?

Kaylore · 03-01-2013, 10:00 PM

Westbrook is our nightmare. He single-handedly destorys. No one, not even Durant, ever do anything. Westbrook just personally abuses us. I don't know why we decided to stop attacking the rim all of a sudden, but if we don't start, we're going to lose. And our stupid free-throw problem is likely to cause a loss again.

spdirty · 03-01-2013, 10:14 PM

Boom!!!!!!

Lycan · 03-01-2013, 10:15 PM

Great, clutch shot by Lawson. Just fantastic.

Awesome game.

RhymesayersDU · 03-01-2013, 10:15 PM

Huge shot Ty, huge win for the fellas.

Kaylore · 03-01-2013, 10:16 PM

What an epic game.

RhymesayersDU · 03-01-2013, 10:30 PM

Also of note, picked up a game on the Grizzlies as they lost. The game in 2 weeks (Grizz @ Nuggs, 3/15) looms large. Nuggets can own a 3-1 tiebreaker with a win there. Could very well decide the 4 seed and home court advantage in round 1 of the playoffs.

If we get the 4 seed, should we be rooting for a (1)Spurs-(8)Lakers first round series?
