I think Yak should start. They are a perimeter team so we can't have 'em shooting right over both AI and Carter.

If you look at March there's a slight pattern. If there's a win where we give up 110 or so to the other team the next couple also give up 110 or so and then finally a couple of losses. There is a lack of discipline in the sense that a win giving up more than 102 points should still be a reason to gear up and come back the next game and only give up 99 and no more.

O: Melo (I hope he stays hot forever, but if he doesn't, he needs to do other things. 5 boards, 1 dime and 2 TO's, while his man was the only one doing a thing on O is unacceptable. I hope he doesn't fall into "if my shots not falling, all is lost" mentality.)

After four inspiring appearances, Nene has missed the past two games because of a right groin strain. The Nuggets power forward underwent an MRI before Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, and though it revealed only a muscle strain, the cautious Nuggets staff kept Nene out of the game at the Staples Center.
"We were shooting for 10, 15 minutes (per game), and moving that up to 15, 20, so this probably slows down that process," Denver coach George Karl said. "His minutes he has played for us have been pretty good. There's a presence and a spirit to when he plays

Another interesting aspect... in the same article Coach Karl was asked whether he should use Diawara more to boost the defense a little.At times, reserve guard Yakhouba Diawara is one of Denver's top defenders. But he is seldom one of Denver's top offensive players. That said, the Nuggets' defense had been awful entering the game against the Clippers. But when Karl was asked whether Diawara might get a few minutes to jolt the defense, Karl said: "I don't think I'm going that far. The rhythm of the team is short rotation. Long rotation would break the rhythm of the team."

this is a complete joke, so the short rotation keeps Chucky, Hunter and Diawara from playing? really, Karl this is a joke isn't it??
The only thing that gets in my mind is the fact that the nuggets are very softly handled by Karl getting always days off when they score 130 or achieve 30 assists...
