Or Phoenix ?!?!?!? ;)

Man I wish we had Quincy Miller instead of Darius Miller to develop at the 3. Kid has some immense upside

Got a stop. Gotta score. Work through Rivers. Feed Miller for a three. Let's go!

Brockman rolled his ankle

Or Roberts can go Allen Iverson and just drain a jumper. Whatever.

Let's go!

:shakehd:

It was Hamilton in the gym with the dagger.

Denver is shooting 57 friggin % from 3 and we can't buy 1.

Roberts what a damn joke!

Jesus Christ. How was that not a foul for Rivers?!?!?

Hope this is the last time I have to watch Roberts play

Why isn't Withey in?

I sure hope we do not have to see much of Brian Roberts or Lance Thomas in actual season play. Also, we shouldn't have to see more than 20 minutes of Austin Rivers. These guys are so inefficient.

A pity. We get one more game, I think. Because every team must play 5 games in Summer League.

Don't know why but I can't stand Brian Roberts! Starting watching late, but did Pierre even play? That's my boy to knock Roberts off the roster, lol!

I feel a little better now.

I only wanted the win so I could watch the players develop more.

We can't make generalizations about one game peopl.

I'm concerned about Rivers usage. He only seems to be really effective when he takes volume shots.

Reasons? I dunno. I'd love to see Brockmon and Withey on the floor together. One is taking charges, the other is taking blocks.

Cameron Moore should be getting more minutes too.

Yes Eric Gordon did get a nice tan over in Vegas

Cut them and throw money at oden, it's winning time, swing for a grand slam and load the bases with the bunts and sac flies

Darius is on fire.

Darius Miller 'bout to get his T-Mac on.

He's got pink eye. So he's probably still in his hotel room.


Didn't realize he was into that Japanese stuff. :huh2:

I'm most sad about us not advancing because I want to see mor Miller. This Darius Miller is a legitimate NBA player.

We got a chance!

Y'all a trip. Seriously I like the way they tried crawling back into the game. It was looking like a disaster in the beginning.

We get one more game. Consolation round. We get the losers of some game later today, I think. Worry not.

Come on Quincy, just swap uniforms with Darius and sneak on the team! lol

I'll be concerned if he actually gets volume shots. He is lucky if he develops into a solid bench player. He is incredibly inconsistent.

Seems like every time roberts does something good we say "wow! Keep him!" And when he does bad every one says "i hate roberts ! Cut him"

Man the Nuggets got some wings on that team. Wish we had something of value to get one of the bottom guys to develop.

Both guys had the game of their lives today. Both have been pretty awful prior to today.

Our small lineup got killed at the end.

Love him or hate him, in my opinion he's just a chucker who gets hot in small parts of games

Roberts getting the Vasquez treatment, lol. I have a problem with Roberts defense, but that's just about it. I think on offense, he plays like the coaches want him to.

He reminds me of Pargo and I couldn't stand him either. Now a poor man's Pargo is BAD, lol!

Rivers is 20 years old and improving. Like I've said he's ahead the curve defensively and is probably better on the ball than Gordon and Evans. Offensively he needs better shot preparation on the catch and just continued refinement on his mechanics. His ball handling and first step are at a high level. He'll be fine

No, I usually say, "God I hate the way he got that shot." :hihi:

Because people on this board are idiots.

Yeah, the general feel with Roberts is "Well, at least it went down." I'm rarely pleased when Roberts does anything, good or bad. He's a daredevil. Risks bad things happening and gets away with it.

I think I'd trade Roberts for 4 of the 5 Nuggets summer league players.

'Zo was 6' 10, tops.

We just caught the Nuggets at the wrong time. The game before they were destroyed. I heard Jordan Hamilton missed that game due to a death in the family. He obviously was motivated Ala Buster Douglas after he lost his mom vs Mike Tyson.

:eek:

Mike Tyson killed his mom?

What gets me is why his mom would even fight Tyson. Not a sound decision.

Maybe she stole his tiger?

Thought she was Robin Givens
