This Thuggets team is playing full out streetball right now. Trash talk, ill conceived 1-on-5 offense, no real defense, and tons of stupid and hard fouls. I could never root for a team like this. They are doing nothing but talking to the refs and the Celtics. This is downright disgraceful basketball, and I am SO glad I don't live near Denver so I can avoid having to watch this to get my NBA fix.
We have our issues at times with the Celtics, but watching the Thuggets makes me really appreciate every player on the roster just a little bit more.
Also, with Melo, I think Mike hates the attitude and the talking more then anything. It's not his physical game, but something about Melo's attitude really rubs Mike the wrong way I think.
