Official Lakers @ Nuggets, game 4, thread

[duwal]

i really hope they dont win this series....and stern does to because this is the team that gives the NBA a bad image and makes the viewers think basketball is nothin but a bunch of thugs and what not when its really not true

well YOU are doing the same thing by calling them thuggets (by the way it sound more like an motown/R&B group)

[boba]

Really just ignore him.

yeah your right, oh and btw when j r hits a 3 its not showboting its him being the little bird aka chicken man

Carmelo is showing that his bench can wreck the Lakers? That makes no sense. Thats like saying he is shooting bad on purpose.

I remember at the half, they were saying that the Nuggets bench outscored the Lakers bench 20-3.

That shows that even without Melo, they are a good team and I think that it showed by JR Smith having 24 pts off the bench.

Did I mention Linas Kleiza for 10 pts and 2/3 3 pointers?
This guy is so sick..

jr thug and the thuggets took this one it looks like, but seriously when you hit a three act like you have hit one before.....sorry, i just hate how smith thinks hes better than what he is

I don't see a problem with any player doing this, its much worse in every other sport, especially football. Celebrating for getting a 1st down or tackling someone for a 1 yard loss. Its how EVERY athlete is, they just all have their different ways of showing it. Fist pumps, posing, facial expressions or hand movements

yeah its just like when tiger or kobe fist pumps, just a little more odd when j r does it...

I do believe that football is way worse than basketball in showboating. And the play on Kobe, where Jones (I believe) tripped him, it wasnt dirty, but it was cheap and a foul, just wasnt called.

Nuggets outplayed the Lakers, so they won. I still lean towards the Lakers winning the series, but as I thought all along it will be close.

@Boba
Why are you taking offense to him calling the Nuggets.. "Thuggets"?
He is just trying to offend Nugs fans by what he hears on the media.
If you see all his posts it all leads to "THUG this" and "THUG that"

That makes me laugh, because it shows you cannot find anything about the Nuggets to offend.

You don't see us taking swings at the Lakers because they destroyed us in game 3.
I respect the Lakers, they are good and after watching Kobe Doin' Work.. I respect him as a player and as a person.

I can write a story about whats in my head right now, but I won't. I don't feel like flooding this thread with a story.

yeah your right, and when i was watching the game i was thinking of how good kobe is, did you see him hit something like 3 3s in a row with a man in his face, that was awsome.

Not true at all... I was watching and Nene and Billups don't show boat what so ever. They make a nice play and go play defense. Nene is the best at it IMO. He doesn't make himself look like a fool.

How wasn't it dirty???? The ball was no where near them. The ball was in the air and there was no need to trip him, he could of broke Kobe's wrist or something. I wouldn't be surprised if the league does something about it.
