If there ever was a time to play the big lineup this is it!
Bynum - Nene
Pau -Martin
Odom - Carmelo
Ariza/Sasha - Smith
Kobe -Billups
we would lock them all down with our size and lenght! |
AGREED.
I Would LOVE to see this.
odom can handle carmelo. I think this means more play time for andrew too...and it gives more flexability in the front court...
enter ariza/exit andrew/pau to c/LO to pf
enter ariza/exit LO
enter ariza/exit pua/LO to PF
then we also have luke to provide a rest for LO or pau (by sliding LO to pf)
I think odom can handle carmelo...who also hurt us on some offensive boards and LO is a great rebounder. |
My whole understanding as to why this hasn't been done yet is because it will clog the post too much by having Pau, AB and LO on the court at the same time.
However, with LO shooting as well as he has been from the perimeter and as good of a slasher/cutter as he is, I really don't understand why this hasn't been attempted ONCE!!?!?!!
You won't see it in the Finals because Phil won't go with it, as it hasn't even been run in game, but damn I wish it was at least attempted. |

| Smith strained his loser muscle. There's no known cure. Just lots of rest over the summer. |

Why don't I believe that it was his calf that was hurt?

Here we go with all the built in excuses!! calfs, fingers, pretty soon Melo's dog is going to pass away. This is worse than Oscar DelaHoyas reasons for losing his fights!!
2-0!!!! A WIN IS A WIN!!

We better watch out for Smith in game 2. If he is dialed in from distance Denver can be tough to beat.

It may also hinder is ability to drive making it easier to guard him on the perimeter. He really fell down like a b**ch over a strained calf muscle. |

On slow mo you could see Kobe dislocating his finger... running into Kmart... ripping off his finger and replacing it with his own... Kobe. Gangsta. |

Agreed. I hate his nose and his eyes.

No idea how reliable that source is. |
He played well with the finger? He played like 5 minutes with the injury. |

| I can see th Nuggets not playing as well in game 2. We need to play a lot better ourselves though, and take care of our business. |

Smith did some treadmill work before practice and sat out much of the on-court session.
"I'm definitely going to play," Smith said. "I don't think nothing can keep me from this game. It's getting better. It's more of a calf strain than anything. I'm doing the right thing, just staying and getting extra treatment. I'll be ready for tomorrow." |

| The whole JR incident was pretty strange...I watched that end sequence over and over in Slo-mo and it apprears that the whole incident, JR getting hurt was due to Birdman...Birdman was attempting to build up momentum for a possible putback...Trev was trying to dog him defensively and block him out of the lane...Trev did a good job of hindering Birdman's progress, but Birdman gave Trev sort of a forearm push and lined him into JR at a strange angle...Trev got up, but JR was on the ground in pain...That's what happened and I am sticking to it... |

From the replay, I thought one of JR's teammates slipped under him and it caused him to lose his footing?

I thought I saw Bird-dung push Ariza which caused him to fall under Smith.

I saw the same thing. Birdman definitely got away with fouling Ariza and injured his own teammate in the process. It's a good thing that Kobe was able to snatch that rebound... |

the entire Denver team needs to sign up for some remedial English classes at their local city college.
