Denver is the worst playoff team in the NBA

[DuMa]

1. worst half-court offense.
2. worst defense in the NBA
3. they expect to fast break in the playoffs.
4. Koufos is starting. this is the most useless center in the NBA
5. Javale McGee.

[Nick Young]

Javale and his merry band of fastbreaking scrubs:roll: :roll: :roll:

I'd hate to be a nuggets fan

[lakerspng]

already starting excuses for why kobe has been the best player in the playoffs so far?

[Flagrant 2]

OP is a Laker/Kobe hater and is trying to undercut Kobe's performance.

[1987_Lakers]

They can't be any worse than Orlando.

But yea, when Denver isn't in transition they look completely lost.

Of course they are....NOW. Last week people had them eliminating the Lakers in the first round:roll:

[Maneva]

Denver could beat a lot of, if not most, East teams.

[1987_Lakers]

Barkley had Denver beating LA in the first round, now he is back peddling.:oldlol:

[RazorBaLade]

I think a big one you missed is that they might honestly have the worst of all the best players on any of the teams. Hard to word what I mean, check this out

Like who do we have...

Spurs - Parker
OKC - Durant
Lakers - Kobe
Memphis - Gay
clippers - CP3
denver - lawson?!?!?!?
mavs - dirk
Jazz - Millsap

if anyone wants to do the east one i bet its the same result...

[1_BAD_TIGER]

Average age of the Denver starters is about 24, this is a team with a lot of potential down the road. Post again when Denver takes the next 2 games at home.

[PickernRoller]

Nuggets can do better than the Knicks, 76ers, Orlando and Hawks.....same goes for the Jazz....

Just because the Lakers have dominated the Nuggets so far doesn't mean they aren't any good...

OP a kobe hater so I would assume the underlying sentiment for this thread has something to do with Kobe and his image.....:lol :lol

[Pursuer]

Of course they are....NOW. Last week people had them eliminating the Lakers in the first round:roll:

As always. Anyway, what we'll see in game 3, will be Denver hitting a ton of three's and everybody going nuts about how Lakers have no perimeter defense and thus no chance to win the championship. ISH gets real crazy in the playoffs.

[RazorBaLade]

**** you guys.

Heat - Bron
Bulls - Deng
Celts - Pierce
Phi - Iggy
Ind - Granger
ATL - JJ
Orl - ???? Maybe orl has a worse best player
Nyk - Melo


So yeah... Denver has at the very best, the 2nd worst player leading their team out of 16. jesus.

This, they won't get out of the first round this year but their young and have potential. Just imagine this team if they can somehow add a star. Perfect supporting cast imo

Denver should've won but they couldn't hit a shot to save their lives.

We'll see. Playoffs are about adjustsments, so they may come out strong in Game 3. What kills me is that they sit there, make all these supposedly bold predictions they seem to have no fear of posting. But then the minute they don't pan out, they immediately start backpeddling, trying to act like people on here suddenly can't read to see exactly what it is they previously said. Then are still clueless to think people are going to take them seriously. Funniest thing I've ever seen.

[RazorBaLade]

Ty Lawson > Iggy, Granger

Is he really?

[stephanieg]

Granger isn't Indy's best player. If he was we'd still be in the lottery.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Kobe is lucky to have such an easy first round match up.
He'll be exposed in the 2nd round if he doesn't refer to his bigs.

Lawson has to gain the confidense in his game that will lead to more consistant production before I will label him the best player on the team, besides name one of thoses players on your list that in playing in just there third year in the league? and as a team Denver would beat or atleast compete with every team in the east other then the Heat.

[NuggetsFan]

I honestly don't get it. Is it because Kobe's having a good playoffs so people are looking to downplay Denver, and the Nuggets are just caught in the middle of it?

Denver lost by 4 points. They missed tons of chances and after 2 games have played pretty awful. L.A has played pretty good. Bynum has dominated, Gasol playing solid. Kobe has had 2 30+ games.

Why's Denver the worst team in the playoffs? Their the 6 seed playing the 3 seed. Look at everybody's predictions, Denver was expected to lose. It's not like they just rolled over tonight, they were 1 fumbled pass and a open missed 3 away from maybe coming out with a W tonight.

Their not the worst team, they'd beat afew of the east teams.

Bynum had 27 points tonight dude, wtf are you talking about?:confusedshrug:

Stop making it so obvious you CLEARLY didn't watch the game. And just wanted to post some b.s. to bash on Kobe.:facepalm

[NuggetsFan]

Denver's defense is probably the worst in the playoffs. Offensively tho, they ranked like 1st-5th in pretty much every offensive category. Including points in the paint, assists, bench production, points off turnovers, fastbreak points, FG%, FTA's etc.

1 1\2 bad games against a superior team all of a sudden makes them the worst? What about the Magic without Howard. Indiana vs Denver would be good. 76ers vs Denver would be another good one. NY has been a no show.

[All Net]

Why? Because lakers beat them?

[Maneva]

This is true, but it's not telling of how good Denver is. There's a reason they were initially compared to the '04 Pistons (not saying they're that good) after the Melo trade. They've got a really deep team with a ton of good players, just no superstars. Dwight Howard is obviously better than anybody on Denver, but I'd take Denver over Orlando with a healthy Dwight or against the Knicks with Melo and Amare, just to name a few examples.

Don't argue with the fools....it's a Kobe bash thread in disguise...that's the only thing that comes out of OP's butt :lol

The mentality that a team is only as good as there superstar has been ingrained into the minds a NBA fans, and that is mindset the league has created by giving favorable calls to the "star players" and the "star teams" in the "big markets" and it's a sad state, because basketball at it's purest and most beautiful form is a TEAM game.

[SevereUpInHere]

Sorry, but a starting lineup of

Chandler
Melo
Jefferies
Fields
Davis

And no bench to speak of apart from Novak and JR

Is the worst team in the playoffs.

[Extempo]

Denver was the highest scoring team in the regular season.

The Knicks are the worst playoff team, Melo has no supporting cast. Its bad enough that its 1 vs 3 but on top of that, Miami gets all the help in the world from the officials. Lebron has an incredibly easy ride to the finals...no Amare, no Rose, no Dwight in the east...they are going to see all mediocre teams...and probably still lose :roll: After all, they lost to the Mavs in the finals, the same Mavs that are about to get eliminated in the first round.

[flipogb]

Denver and NY traded with each other and have messy but talented rosters, no coincidence they are probably the worst team in the playoffs

horrible defense, fast break based offense by committee. They are a team built to win games in the regular season and that's it. Pretty horrible roster, even worse because these scrubs are too good to tank with so they will now be stuck in mediocrity for awhile.

[SpecialQue]

The Nuggets are a great team that is just underperforming right now. But I guess any team that the Lakers beat is just a cupcake team nowadays?

[B-Easy8]

2 weeks ago everyone was saying Melo is the best scorer in the league, some were even caliming that he was the best player in the league, add DPOY Chandler and JR 'the missing piece' Smith and the Knicks were supposed to at least be competitive against the Heat.

How is that team worse than Orlando? There best 2 players are Jameer Nelson and Big Baby.

[ILLsmak]

They are bad. Anyone who said they were gonna upset the Lakers was crazy. There's about as much chance of NY upsetting Miami.

-Smak

[ashlar]

I was gang-raped by Lakers and their leader Kobe so now I will try to discredit anything they do.

fixed

[yanix]

damn!
all of sudden Denver changes into homeboy team

where is G's like K-mart,jr smith,birdman,camby,iverson,melo,nene
that team is the real team

[Eric Cartman]

Denver and NY traded with each other and have messy but talented rosters, no coincidence they are probably the worst team in the playoffs

They aren't the worst teams in the postseason, they are just playing the two teams that will meet up in the finals with Kobe & Bron playing so good i could bust a nut right here.

[kurple]

Denver could beat a lot of, if not most, East teams.
they are 15-2 against EC teams

losing to the raptors and cavs

[kurple]

But yeah.. We suck

well we dont suck, but we're not where we should be.. But at least we have a good amount of picks and cap space

[markymark]

This, they won't get out of the first round this year but their young and have potential. Just imagine this team if they can somehow add a star. Perfect supporting cast imo

Hmm maybe Melo would be a good fit?

Word. That team would rape the Heat.

[JustinJDW]

The most under performing team in the Playoffs is more accurate.

[MaxFly]

I fail to see how Denver is worse that NY, Orlando, Philadelphia and Utah.

[ShaqAttack3234]

Their defense is a problem, and their size is a really problem, I think they should've kept Nene, Javale McGee is always going to be held back by his IQ.

And Denver's half court offense is a huge problem, it's really been bad. Game 2 was really wild though, and they had a legitimate chance to win it, but they had a lot of extremely stupid, unnecessary turnovers which limited their comeback, and their defense got better forcing LA to use a ton of clock, but then they kept allowing offensive rebounds at the worst possible time. That's one of the big problems with LA having such a massive size advantage. Denver also has often had smaller players on Kobe.

It's a bad match up for Denver, and you simply need more size and more a half court game, preferably a post player to really compete in the playoffs. And of course, it's tough to win when you don't have a good, or even pretty good defense. Thjey're simply missing a lot and clearly a limited team.

This.

Denver is really not that bad, LA is just the worst possible matchup for them. The three best post players happen to play for LA.....and to make matters worst those three guys are the best players in the series.

They honestly should have tanked for OKC.

[chazzy]

They'll probably win at least one of these next two games. The Lakers sucked on the road and Denver's style of play will feed off of their home crowd.

[thelucifer69]

What a bad team

at least 3 stupid turnover

waste 10pt lead twice

waste at least 3 easy fastbreak

what a shame

[CLTHornets4eva]

The Lakers stink even more than i thought for allowing this to go 7
