OT: Other Sports: Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies, etc...Part VI

[MaKarter]

 

[Hasbro]

Nuggets rout Portland and Jokic plays 26 minutes and misses a triple double by one basket. He’s absolutely not Westbrooking for 3Ds.

 

[MaKarter]

Demarcus Cousins is a great fit for this team.

 

[JWK]

Just need Magic to buy out Gary and for Gary to come back home. Me for the past year:

 

[Pokecheque]

MPJ (meh) and Murray (YAY!) likely returning for playoffs, possibly sooner than that.

 

[Bonzai12]

 

[Pokecheque]

Watching the Nuggets shoot from the arc is like watching the Avs take faceoffs.

Except for Bones. He’s amazing.

 

[MaKarter]

Demarcus is a bulldog and he is putting on a show.

 

[Pokecheque]

The OKC Thunder are an affront to basketball. They took the best name and uniforms in the NBA and switched both to the absolute worst.

how they inherited the Sonics and Durant was pretty much the NHL equivalent of Colorado getting the gift of the Nordiques.

Thankfully the Kraken did the hard work and completely renovated the Sonics’ old digs. Now they just gotta get a team in there.

 

[Pokecheque]

Nuggets shit the bed tonight so I’ll leave them be.

Rockies are locked out and I get the distinct impression most fans don’t even care. I’ll leave them alone since there’s literally nothing going on with them.

That leaves the Broncos. Melvin Gordon wants to re-up? No thank you.

Manfred doing everything in his power to kill the product. They almost did it a while ago, but the roided out Sosa, McGuire, Bonds etc brought interest back. Funny how they can't get in the Hall after they were the biggest reason baseball rose in popularity after the lean years.

they could just open up the liquor stands on Friday and Saturday nights and probably get the same attendance (without the baseball)

If they start May 1 instead do you really think there will be any impact? Owners just run the numbers and realize almost no one cares about April baseball.

I'm fine with those guys being kept out, but also freely acknowledge that baseball likely knew and turned a blind eye to it. Also, no way was it just them.

Selig was slime, but he's not nearly as bad as Manfred. I truly believe his goal is to save the owners as much money as possible, he doesn't give on iota about the game of baseball.

 

[Bonzai12]

I think it’s pretty ridiculous though that there’s not a salary cap and floor in baseball. If you don’t live on a coast you pretty much don’t have a baseball team.

Sounds like almost every Canadian's opinion of Bettman and his level of concern for the game of hockey. Don't get it twisted, commissioners have only one job and that's to protect the interests of the owners. No sport is going to hire some guy who just loves the game and wants to do right by it, we don't live in that world. Manfred is an easy scapegoat, but almost everyone could care less too about the criticism if they were getting paid $11m a year to do it.

 

[willy702]

Its hard to stay disappointed at the Nuggets for their plethora of bad losses to teams that are tanking when you have the Lakers just going out and losing every night and looking stupid doing it. Time for all the teams in the West to get to work and win a title because its inevitable the NBA and its star players are going to rig some deal to move the Lakers back to the top.

 

[AvsWraith]

Joker = Beast.

 

[Pokecheque]

Unbelievable win. Jokic has no equal.

 

[AvsWraith]

Back-To-Back triple doubles, 32-15-13 for Jokic. He's just not human. MVP by a mile!!!

 

[MaKarter]

And he's pissed he missed 7 free throws.

Love you Nikola.

 

[Pokecheque]

Love the win and the continued dominance by Joker but geez guys, didja have to make it that interesting against Golden State’s G-League team?

 

[Hasbro]

3 Triple doubles behind Wilt.
