Ill give a +1 to myself for this

 

[Scalma]

Another thing about Nurkic; he usually steps up against other traditional centers. His struggles are usually against teams that go small. I think that’s a process as well, learning to play against guys he theoretically has an advantage over.

Lack of a proven big man coach is my current pet peeve. It's not just Nurk. Collins, Swanigan Vonleh, and Meyers could all benefit from a dedicated, proven big man coach. Hell, with 5 big men on the roster 25 and under, we could use two big man coaches; one that specializes in offense and one that specializes in defense. Why not? That's a serious question, why the fuck not???

Dallas usually has a ridiculous number of assistant coaches. This makes sense. They don't count against the salary cap or luxury tax. There is no limit on how many you can hire. So, why not protect the hundreds of millions you are investing in your players and get the absolute best coaches money can buy. Cuban gets it. Why doesn't Allen?

The fans treat this as a bigger rivalry than it really is. Us fans want to kill each other.....the players, however, will probably go have a beer after the game, lol.

I like the rivalry though. Fuck Denver!

We have Dame back for this game, so we should win this game. He always goes ape shit in Denver because they have nobody who can stop him.

 

[dviss1]

I truly think most NBA courts are better than ours... This is pretty cold...

IMO ours is so bland in comparison...

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Yeah. Nurk may actually dunk the ball.

He'll still get called for the charge

I agree with everything you said. To the last part, I will say that Allen is incredibly out of touch with BOTH of his sports teams. Seattle should have made it to the playoffs this year, and they'll be lucky to win 8 games next season. And I don't see them getting out of that slump any time soon.

The Blazers.....he sits there almost every night and sees what is on the court. How the hell he could not see the glaringly obvious is beyond me. Completely baffling.

I REALLY hope DEN does not get George Hill or Kemba Walker. Their lack of a PG is killing them. They run the offense through Jokic, so they figured they didn't need a PG (and spent $90 million on yet another power forward instead). But they still need someone to guard the other team's PG. Which is why George Hill would be a perfect fit for them.

Too bad Hill makes $20 million a year. He'd be the perfect 3rd guard to match with Dame and C.J.

Oh wait, the SAC GM and owner are both idiots. Quick offer them Shabazz, Meyers and Harkless for Hill. Shabazz is legit, Meyers has played well against them in the past and Josh Jackson is looking like a bust. We get the perfect 3rd guard and cock block DEN in the process.

How dare you. We have the most beautiful court in the league! I like the fact that it looks like something from a NASCAR race.

Denver does have a purty court though....

OK, I get the 5280 (Mile High City), but what is the significance of the /300?

Ok, googled it:

Below the mountain range, the numbers 5280 and 300 are another fresh addition, symbolizing Denver’s altitude of 5,280 feet and the front range’s historical average of 300 days of sunshine per year.

Really, they are bragging about the weather, in Denver where it frequently snows in April?

Plus, they lied about the 300. It's only 245:

Snowfall is 64 inches. The average US city gets 26 inches of snow per year. The number of days with any measurable precipitation is 46. On average, there are 245 sunny days per year in Denver County, Colorado.

youre calling Nurk a "shit and hilarious"... I wont forgive you this, never ever
and Ill do everything in my power to banish you from this forum

Coke has always had a red label, and Pepsi blue. Did Pepsi choose Denver to sponsor because the colors already included blue?

The message is lost in the secret code. Why not a self-explanatory motto like "Altitude with sunshine."

I think he meant to say Nurk's shit doesn't stink and he finds that hilarious:

"You breathe in lots of ripe plums, but the fruity aroma is backed by lots of spice, and hints of herbs. Despite its burly color, Nurk's shit tastes lighter than you were led to expect, with some nice zippy acidity and a slight tannic structure. Nurk's shit would pair well with a red-sauced pizza, or grilled sausages."

I think Portland has one of the most aesthetically pleasing courts in the league. Of course this is all subjective but my top three in no particular order are

Portland
Lakers
Brooklyn

Some of the ones I hate:

Wolves
Jizz
Clippers

I've always liked Denver's floor. Sure as hell makes up for those uniforms.

I'm glad you like it. To me it's Bo-ring. The 2 tone is wasted as it has not cohesiveness or purpose. The paint looks stupid as I prefer those inside box lines. The paint is a DIFFERENT color red than the new pinwheel....

Those have been good calls. He needs to learn to go through one side of a player as opposed to straight to and through.

I like ours better....clean look with a sharp pinwheel...I can't stand Mathew Knight Arena ...the Ducks court...looks like they quit finishing the wood

"Altitude with sunshine."

strange way to say tripping on orange sunshine

 

[riverman]

Go Blazers!!!! We should win this!

 

[THE HCP]

Barton and Plumlee starting

 

[riverman]

Typical Dame fashion...credited his teammates for his player of the week award...without them he says...he wouldn't get the award..this guy is amazing! Heard Malone say in pregame that he doesn't like his team now....he's going to change his roster around.

 

[riverman]

Jesus I just read that Judge Judy makes 47million a year...that's more than Lebron makes playing hoops...whew
