hey just worry about getting the game at home, then we will worry about taking them in la. we can beatthem here we played them well each game except one quarter. just hope the refs arent against us that day. jr smith needs to get hot in LA. when we are up 4 or 5 we need his 3 going down. not the throw up a three with 4 guys on me. we can only hope.

Nothing was rigged. We are our own worst enemies. We aren't mentally prepared to win these games late. Maybe we will be by game 7. Yes, there were bad calls on Nene tonight, but you simply cannot rig a basketball game in that fashion. respectfully disagree. cbills came out aggressive shooting well, foul call, bs foul call he sits, loses aggressiveness cuz of foul trouble. Nene got horrible calls, Melo go no calls. It was a big momentum killer we could not charge the cup cuz we got no calls, that is effective by the refs for forcing this team into all jump shots. the refs were horrible they affected this game. Yes the nugs missed 11 shot in a row to start the 4th, turned the ball over especially cbills hurt with 2 to's in a row. birdman got pushed trying to rebound but bird got beasted by the LA bigs but with the bad fouls on Nene forced bird into the game too long where pau and odom abused him bad.

We go as Billups and Smith go.... uuummm you are forgetting Melo. We have to have superstar Melo to get anywhere, CBills and JR are very good role players. Melo did his part, which was match Kobe. Our leader and mancrush Jersus has to step up

yeah I do not think it is over. I have been happy with how the Nuggs have played. IF we get a game 7 then I believe we have a chance to win it.

Well, I say the gun helps.The Lakers got the majority of the questionable calls, but that's not to sya the game was rigged. Do you know how hard it is to do that. The foul differential was too small for the game to have been rigged. We just played stupid down the stretch, just like in game and game 3. We're the better team, but our inexperience is killing us in these huge moments. And I was very dissapointed in Chauncey's decison-making down the stretch tonight.

Don't get me wrong. we all love Chauncey, we wouldn;t be close to the WCF without him and his leadership. However, his consecutive bad decisions late in the 3th quarter allowed the Lakers to gain momentum late.

The whistle helped the Lakers but come on, we played sh*tty. If CB wasn't so careless with the ball during that stretch and our offense kept moving, we would have been in much better position in the 4th.

35-30 free throw differential. LA shot 48.7% to Denver's 38.2%.
There were a couple questionable calls late but this one wasn't on the refs. Make your shots, you win.

Poor George is gonna get fined now. Heaven forbid he say something about the refs sucking.

I'm not saying that the officiating was good, but we couldn't score and started trying to force the offense instead of moving the ball around like we did before.
I also feel like JR should try and get other things going besides nice feeds downlow and the three point shot... he has a mid-range jumper and seems like he can hit it with some consistency.

foul differential was too small for the game to have been rigged. It's not really the foul differential that kills a team in a fixed game. It's when those fouls were called and how crucial they were. Timing is the key. That's what kills in a fixed game. That's what happpened here. Not to mention that a huge foul difference would've made it so obvious. Even Stern isn't that stupid. Now I'm not saying that it's entirely the refs fault. But they did have a huge part in this in ensuring the Lakers have a greater chance of winning this game.

Props to George though for finally calling out the refs in the press conference.

This may not be popular but I Think that LA played some of their best defense of the series in this game. At times out hustling us and making it difficult for us to get into our game. I think this actually had something to do with the bad play of some of our players.
The funny thing is We still had a chance if we make some shots and did nto stagnate for 11 possessions.

IS BILLUPS AFRAID OF THE RIM?
He starts off aggressive, then dominates the ball and pass at the last second. Once again, he's a no show. JR Smith? DIE!

George punking out, won't call the refs out directly, being coy.
When fouls are called and whom they are called on affects the game plenty. Example: Fouling out JR affects the team much more than fouling out Dahntay. Getting calls in the first half and getting calls in the second half makes a difference. Refs affected this game.

Karl not happy with the officiating in the press conference.
He said it best. Gasol contested at least 20 shots at the rim and only had 1 foul.
Please Explain?

We're the better team, but our inexperience is killing us in these huge moments. And I was very dissapointed in Chauncey's decison-making down the stretch tonight. word, for someone who normally has so few turnovers, those two passes to gasol in a row were killers. Not to start ragging on GK, but I found it really strange that in the start of the 4th, when the Lakers were killing the Nuggets and the Nugs offence had stalled, it took till around the 7-8min mark for melo to come back in the game. Melo was playing soild and getting to the rim, which would've been exactly what the doctor ordered

Chauncey is the one f***ing up and he's been here.
