OT: Other Sports: Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies, etc...Part VI

[Bender]

Jacksonville destroys everything they touch.

 

[Bonzai12]

I can’t believe Adam Gotsis is still playing and maybe even a starter on the Jags DLine?

 

[Hasbro]

Belichick's worst records are versus the Broncos and the Squawks (10-10 & 3-3). A Broncos win this weekend would mean Denver is the only team he has a losing record against, just in case it's the end of the road for him.

 

[Bonzai12]

Seattle just ripped us so hard on that Russ trade. George Paton’s ass will be bleeding from this for years and years.

Drew Lock magic tonight lol. Good for that dude.

 

[The Merchant]

 

[Pokecheque]

Only really caught the 2nd half of tonight's Nuggets game, they were flirting with running the Raptors outta Toronto last night, but then the bench started the 4th and nearly blew it.

Is it just me or do the Nuggets make free throws and three-pointers look a lot harder than other teams do.

Good game from P-Wat tonight though, and I'm too lazy to look it up but both he and Joker are starring in a few promos for Hotels.com and they look hilarious.

 

[Pokecheque]

Whoa, didn’t realize Will Barton is just sitting at home. I woulda thunk someone would have signed him by now.

 

[famicommander]

Collin Gillespie with 16 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals on 6/8 shooting tonight in the G-League. He's averaging roughly 18/9/10.

He's been playing incredible down there but mostly on inefficient shooting. Tonight he shot the ball well. If he can shoot well consistently he's going to play his way into an NBA rotation spot in the next year or two. This kid is a leader and a winner.

 

[Hasbro]

Whoa, didn’t realize Will Barton is just sitting at home. I woulda thunk someone would have signed him by now.

Trading him Caldwell-Pope needs to go into the pantheon of great Denver trades.

Barton and Ish Smith were throw-ins. That trade was Monte Morris for KCP.

Still an astounding trade

 

[famicommander]

Dodgers got Yamamoto. 25 year old kid on a 12 year deal.

His resume in Nippon Pro Baseball:
3X Triple Crown Winner (ERA, Wins, Strikeout leader in the same year)
3X MVP
3X Sawamura Award Winner (their equivalent of a Cy Young)
3X Gold Glove Winner
3X Best Nine (equivalent of an all league team)
5X All Star
4X ERA Champion
4X Strikeout Champion
3X Wins Leader
Threw 2 no-hitters
1 league championship
Olympic Gold Medal
World Baseball Classic Gold

So, pretty much... dammit.

 

[Bonzai12]

Nah baseball doesn’t have any parity problems

 

[JWK]

Nah baseball doesn’t have any parity problems

It doesn’t

 

[katfude]

It doesn’t

Yeah let's just ignore the regular season and the division alignment

Thank god the 1 team that wins it isn't always spending billions on player salary THIS IS A PERFECT LEAGUE

If it's any consolation, if the MLB were hard capped the Monforts would still find a way to **** it up on the field.

 

[Pokecheque]

Nuggets make it interesting but still pull out the win in Brooklyn.

 

[famicommander]

Nikola Jokic has passed Dan Issel to become the all time leading rebounder in franchise history, ABA and NBA combined.

The Horse! I’m old enough to remember the “Issel the Missle” graphic playing on the old monochrome Jumbotron on the old McNichols Arena scoreboard whenever he made a big play.

Would be nice if he could maybe find his way back into basketball someday. The event that led to his exile was a long time ago, and even then at his final presser he was quite apologetic and regretful.

As for Jokic, there may not be a single Nuggets record remaining that he doesn’t hold when all is said and done.

The only records Jokic doesn't have a realistic shot at are blocks and three pointers.

No chance on blocks because Mutombo is still about 1,000 ahead of him.

No chance on 3s because Jamal Murray is already way ahead of him and they're playing together. Unless Jamal leaves or retires super early, Jokic won't catch him.

 

[Bonzai12]

goin through the Nuggets history it's pretty interesting that there's a lack of PG/SG's that are on the leader boards. There's definitely exceptions like Fat, but the majority of the players on the all time boards are all F/C's.

 

[JWK]

Nuggets came out of this 2nd half firing

 

[willy702]

Bad schedule this month and this was one of the worst spots for the Nuggets but they get it done. Can't believe they have to get back at it on Christmas with less than 48 hours of recovery off a B2B and a long flight home

 

[MaKarter]

I'll be there Christmas Day. Hope there are not too many Warriors fans. Ball is going to be rockin' either way.

 

[BobRossColton]

I've never understood running backs running straight into the pile.
