GT- 6PM Denver @ Orlando - Let's blow that rocky mountain high!

Denver is hoping to close a five-game road trip on a positive note after falling 108-91 at Miami on Friday. Kenneth Faried stayed hot with 20 points, but the Nuggets shot 7 of 27 from 3-point range and 10 of 19 from the foul line.

"The guys know this is our last crack at getting another win on this trip," Hunt said. "We had a little mini goal, we were hoping to sweep Florida. We dropped this one, but (Sunday) is a big game for us, and we're going to treat it that way."

"I do see a different spirit (in Payton), an aggressiveness that is new," interim coach James Borrego said. "There's something different in his eye right now, and he makes us a very dangerous team when he's in that mode."

Nelson missed the last game with a hip injury... hope he gets to play tonight. I'd like to see Payton go at him.

Nice to see Vegas supporting the Magic! (-1)

Projecting Payton, let's look at Denver's last 3 opponent PGs:
Livingston 12/8/4
Evans 25/10/9
Udrih 9/2/5
Beverley 10/7/2
Dragić 18/5/8

The Nuggets is playing poor defense on opponent PGs and assists and rebounds are piling up. This projects as a great stat night for Payton. In the last 3 games, Payton has logged 41, 34, and 37 minutes. I expect the same for this game (mid-to-high 30s).



Bring on a Third Triple-Double in the Win !!!

Going to the game tonight. Hoping to see another great game from Elf and of course for Dipo to get it done tonight!

Although he missed Denver's last game on Friday night because of a hip pointer, Nelson is listed as probable to play when his Nuggets (26-44) face the Magic (22-49) tonight.


aww, Meerkat.
On Saturday night, Nelson attended Orlando City SC's loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps at the Citrus Bowl.

When Nelson walked to his seat, the fans in his section gave him an ovation.

"My heart is still here, for sure," Nelson said.

Don't want to jinx it but 3 consecutive triple doubles for elf would be pretty impressive if he pulls it off i believe there would only be Oscar Robinson who did the same as a rookie.

Watch Elf's quest for 3 straight triple doubles get derailed by 3 fouls in the first 5 minutes......because refs.

Would anyone be surprised if we brought Jameer back next season to backup elf for 12-14 minutes a night? We clearly need a backup PG. If Jameer can't lock up a deal to play for a contender in sure he would come back on a veteran minimum contract.

The idea has been thrown around. I haven't watched him since he left but i'm torn. Part of me wouldn't mind for sentimental reasons and part of me wonders if he would be like Ridnour and we should look elsewhere.
