Ran into the Spurs a few times when they were still firing on all cylinders too

It sounds like Amar'e Stoudemire punched a fire extinguisher. I was worried about Mike Bibby for a second.

LBJ ran into defending NBA champions/best defensive team in the league. I hate lbj, but don't discount that.

Apparently he punched the glass case around the fire extinguisher. Brilliant. Would imagine his hand is a mess.

I'd pay to see anyone light up Bibby.

Don't like him.

Melo is a great player but to have been out of the 1st round one time in 9 years is inexcusable.

When you run into a better team every year theres not much you can do when your teams usually arent built for post season success

Amare has had a tough year, all the injuries and his brother died in a car wreck. It's pretty apparent he is not a fan of playing with Melo however.

His teams have had plenty of talent. Almost every year he was in Denver they had way more talent than Cleveland and Lebron still made his teammates better and took them far in the playoffs. IT's just inexcusable because Melo is a top 10 guy in the league and hasn't been able to carry a talented team out of the first round.

That chick on press row in the Dallas OKC series with the red hair is fine.

There were multiple years in a row where in the east Denver would of been a 2-3-4 seed, and payed a cupcake like Philly or indiana ect. but since they were in the west they were like a 6-7-8 and had to play a top seed. Its not really rocket science

Then Denver should have done better in the regular season like the Cavs did, who had the best overall record in the league several years. The point still stands, he is better than that.

HB, if you're honestly a fan of the Nuggets, I'm not sure how you could still support a player who shit on your team by not wanting to play there anymore.

You still stick up for the POS.

They did plenty well in the regular season, the West at that time was just completely stacked. And their record which was good enough for bottom 3 in the west woulda been top 4 in the East.

So they could have beaten a bottom feeder east team, doesn't discount LBJ defeating the NBA defending champs in a huge upset. Melo has never done that.
