How do you feel about home-and-away series during the regular season?

Poll closed Apr 11, 2019.

  1. Love 'em. The competition/rivalry is more fierce & fun playing 2 straight against the same team.

    18.4%

  2. I like 'em. It adds some intrigue and interest to an otherwise long season.

  3. Meh. No opinion either way

    22 vote(s)
    44.9%

  4. I don't really like them. They don't add much to a regular season game.

    3 vote(s)
    6.1%

  5. Hate 'em. I don't like seeing the same team again so soon. And these seem to always end in a split.

    This game highlights why the Nuggets wont go past the second round in the playoffs, not that we will either, and thats their D can be schemed against and you can find open shots pretty easily against it and offensively they are amazing when Jokic is going but can jokic do this in the playoffs when teams only have to plan vs them. Our best player had one of his worst shooting games of the year, and we are missing our second and third best player and it was a close game until 30s left.

    Flag posts, send PMs, if I'm not here during the entire game please make things easy for me to get up to speed.

    I have talked to @cityofroses via PM and he knows to not stir the pot. If he has been I need to know.

    You know what's fucking great????

    When people post before the game that it's a guaranteed loss and then have the nerve to complain about us losing. Does it really matter how we lost if you knew it was going to be a loss?

    It's also sad how a certain couple people almost seemed happy and validated that Dame missed a free throw.

    I'm not mad about this loss or that Dame had a bad game, it's his body language that bothers me and that he's not even trying to play better, his disinterested look, i thought we would be better prepared for the double teams against Lillard, but naw it's allways the same. It is so easy to take Lillard out of the game and beat us, but i'll wait till the Playoffs and hope he and the team can prove me wrong

    Thought he defended him pretty damn well. Forced him into a couple turnovers and most of his shots were well defended.

    Paul just had a game.

    He has no backup rim defender (Nurkic is out).

    Do you guys just throw players under the bus every time we lose?

    Aminu had decent game. Double double, defended without fouling, made his FTs. Just missed a few layups and had a bad turnover.

    Most of that was in the 2nd quarter when he was the only one doing anything and the rest of the team was getting crushed.

    Injuries are killing us. Curry was great off the bench for us.

    Hey @Nurkalicious! Great moniker! It's nice to have you here. We do have a no personal insult rule so stfu doesn't really work. You're new and probably don't know that. Not a big deal, just try to make sure it's not a regular occurrence. You can say shit or fuck or other cuss words. So that's kinda nice.

    So if our best defender needs an elite rim protector to play good defense...

    Smh.
