Did you catch the Nuggets’ 58-point win tonight over the New Orleans Hornets in Game Four? If you live outside of Denver, the answer is probably not, as the game was broadcast nationally on NBA TV. The only thing lamer than a league starting its own TV network is when that league starts airing playoff games on it.
As I would have anyway, I caught the game on Altitude here in Colorado. Well, except for the parts that were on when I was catching 24…did I mention the Nuggets won by 58 freaking points? 121-63 was the final score, and according to the Altitude crew that tied as the highest margin victory ever in the NBA playoffs.
There’s not much to say about the game, other than that it was everything Game Three should have been. The Nuggets dominated from start to finish, Carmelo was great, and while Chauncey may have started to cool off just a little bit he still badly outplayed Chris Paul, whom Scott Hastings called the best American flopper in the game today. I love that phrase.
Right now in the postgame they’re talking about Carmelo and how well he played tonight. I have to say it’s the best playoff game I’ve seen from him and he really stepped it up. But frankly, so did everyone; just check out the box score. (The plus/minus ratings are particularly hilarious.)
Nothing else to say. 58 friggin’ points!

I, of course, did not see the game on tv, but I did follow it on my computer, and I just kept laughing every time the score refreshed. I didn't know the Hornets had traded their starting 5 straight up for Laredo's. That plus/minus is the sickest thing I have ever seen. I guess Tyson Chandler ran out of hard fouls and cheap shots in game 3.
A league starting its own network is complete bunk, and I can't imagine it is profitable to air playoff games on a network no one gets.
That game was awesome! It was even better because we did it to the Hornets the game after they TRIED to get physical. I loved how the Nuggets kept on putting CP3 on his back all night long and forced him into 6 TOs.
Hopefully the Nuggets can maintain the same intensity tomorrow night and we can run NOLA out of the building!
I probably would've thought the score was wrong online. Tyson Chandler did throw in one hard foul when he pushed/flailed at Nene going across the lane, but the basket was good anyway.
I hope we win going away tomorrow night, too, but I'll graciously accept any kind of win.
I'll take any kind of win, particularly in the postseason, but another shellacking would be mighty gratifying. Perhaps the best part is our defense exposing Chris Paul to the tune of 4 points, 6 assists, and 6 turnovers. Looks like Chauncey busted a cap in him.
