Denver Nuggets @ Dallas Mavericks - Game 24

That's one down

jr baulin'
kleiza hit some nice shots to stead the tide in the late 3rd and early 4th.
nene missed some bunnies he'll usually make/stuff for some reason.
melo too many turnovers but had some nice cuts around the hoop

i think if dirk wasn't scorching hot and almost unguardable in that 3rd this would have been a 20+ point blowout.

good win.

JR was awesome tonight, hopefully Karl will finally start to see the light.
Melo had a great first half also, just couldn't knock down a few shots in the 2nd half.

Good win, lets take care of business tomorrow night in Houston.

In the first 2-3 minutes of the game Billups was passing the ball the way that Carter did in the last game, He had 3 turnovers almost in a row, but he didn't have another one the rest of the night. Kleiza and JR are the guys that weathered the storm for us in the 2nd half tonight.

The Jazz board is starting to look like the Trades and Transactions board

3-1 a goal?

you guys sound like Karl. pathetic.

billups would never accept 3-1 as a goal. if you're an elite team, you go out and try to win every single night and try to sweep home stands and road trips. not set goals that involve losing games.

Good comparison. The head coach of an NBA team and a random internet scrub's words are equally impactful on the play on the court.

The fact is, you can't be completely sharp every game (with the Nuggets, that's especially so). We've almost lost to Minnesota twice. Four good teams, two back-to-backs, three games on the road. I think 3-1 is certainly reachable, and I think it would be a solid stretch. Again, to recap, my "goals" carry zero weight with anybody, except all the hot chicks that routinely check out the board. George Karl's words impact how his team plays.

Nuggets won't lose a game the rest of the season!

This was a nice win.

We started the game very nice, we came out after the half and struggled a bit. In the 4th quarter KMart, JR, LK, AC and Bird really did a great job. I think those players for the beginning of the 4th really won us the game.

JR is a stud.

Our defensive rotations were very nice especially in the 4th quarter.

Melo started very nice, but didn't finish very well, he forced too many shots and seemed frustrated.

Great win, didn;t watch the game again because the stream sucked.

But what really impressed me was the 12 pts we gave up in the first 9-10 mins of the 4th quarter. If we can play that kind of defense against playoffs teams down the stretch in close games, we'll be really good.

Good win to start a tough strech of games. Lets get another one tonight in Houston.
