The Nuggets give up 70 to the Sonics in one half?!?!?????????? No way.

Someone check if the Denver playrs got paid off by someone. Check if they have airlinetickets for Hawaii for next week.

How the f+ck does this happen?`AI what are you doing?

That's the exact reason why they don't deserve to be in the playoffs. They will go no where with that defense.

[Caseman]

Sonix are winning by 4 with 0:41 left in the 3rd.

Also, Gordo is on the Ticket right now. Really funny.

[LonghornDub]

Sonics and Denver have totaled almost 200 points and the 4th quarter just started.

[LonghornDub]

To anyone who said Kevin Durant isn't legit, he just nailed a long 3 to tie the game against Denver with 20 seconds left.

Oh, and he's got 28/7/7.

[EricaLubarsky]

ouch the Nugs with 5 straight in OT.

[Flacolaco]

Ah well they tried.

[LonghornDub]

Nugs probably gonna win. Nice effort by the Sonics rookies though. I feel kinda bad, this is probably their 2nd to last game in Seattle? Would be nice for the fans to see them get a win....

[LonghornDub]

Uh oh--still a game. Sonics down 3, with the ball, 9 seconds left. Another Durant moment?

[Dim499]

Ohohoho hahahaha

[Flacolaco]

wtf?

[LonghornDub]

YESSIR! Durant with the 35 foot 3! Tie game!

The kid is going to be a star in 2-3 years. No doubt in my mind.

[EricaLubarsky]

wow 135-135 with 5sec

[twistaeffect2004]

Jeez ol mighty, these Sonics - Nuggets games are throw backs to ABA basketball. Might not be a defensive show down, but boy, it's fun to watch.

[Flacolaco]

Did they have that foul to give?

[Dim499]

that is ridici foo

[Flacolaco]

lol 2OT.

That Durant...the pride of Washington D.C.

[EricaLubarsky]

126-126
135-135

Seattle averages 97ppg, and Denver gave them 126 in regulation wow.

[Caseman]

This would kill the Nugs if they lost to the SONICS.

Huge Durant fan but the the number that has surprised (and disappointed) me is 4 rpg. That's unacceptable for a forward with his length and athleticism. Otherwise a good rookie year in a horrible situation.

Yeah, I'd say he just needs to continue to bulk up. The times I've watched him, his height advantage on the glass is typically mitigated by the fact that he gets boxed out WAY too easily. Hopefully that will change as he gets bigger and stronger.

[LonghornDub]

Not only would I like to see the Sonics win their 2nd to last game in Seattle, and not only do I like KD, but I'd really like to see the Warriors back in the playoffs, so I hope the Nuggets bow out here.

it would put the Mavs a full 2 games ahead of both the Warriors and the Nugs too.

[Flacolaco]

When they played the mavs, he was a complete no show.

Unfortunately....or maybe fortunately, we have 2 more meetings with the Sonic Drive-Ins this year.

[EricaLubarsky]

Nuggets have that look on their faces like "uh oh"

Najera is on the bench booking his summer vacation on Expedia.

[Flacolaco]

These games between these two are ridiculous.

I'm sorry, but that's not basketball. It is entertaining and hollow crap. Basketball has two parts, offense and defense.

Re: Defense:
See the 4th quarter of the mavericks/suns game today.

[Dim499]

this is pathetic.

[Caseman]

AI missed both FTs. It's like they were meant to lose.

[EricaLubarsky]

Denver's season over!

[Caseman]

I laughed at NBA tv for picking up this game, but what a game this has been.

[twistaeffect2004]

That's a huge, huge loss for the Nuggets.

So what does this mean for the 8th seed between the Warriors and Nuggs? Who owns the tie breakers. All these numbers give me headaches.

[Usually Lurkin]

wow. Oklahoma has got to be so excited!

[EricaLubarsky]

I think the Warriors have the tiebreaker, so Denver would drop from 8th to 9th even though the teams are tied. The teams play each other though.

im fairly certain denver has the tiebreaker.

[Flacolaco]

w00t

[DubOverdose]

Nice win by the Sonics. Today was the best possible scenario for the Mavs and the playoff implications for the Mavs.

[dude1394]

I'm really hoping the warriors are gone, tired of looking at their ugly mugs. But denver has really spit the bit the last couple of games.

thats what I mean :b

And yes its confirmed that Denver has the tiebreaker, but the teams play each other which may be the most important game of the season for the Wars.
