Finally, its good to have the NBA back!

It will be interesting to see the reception Iggy receives. I'd expect some love to start with, followed by some boos when he scores.

Gallo is listed as a game time decision, and GK has said that C Brew will eat up most of those available minutes, however I do want to see Chandler start at SF, so Brewer brings some energy off the bench.

Ty just signed that ext. so he should be salivating at the lips ready to lead this team. McGee/Dre off the bench will be exciting to see.

If we rebound, run, defend, don't turn the ball over and take smart shots, we should easily win this game.

Nuggets by 8.

Is Gallinari likely to sit?

Aaron J. Lopez ‏@Lopez_Nuggets
Just got word from #Nuggets PR man @Tim_Gelt that Gallo (sprained ankle) and Mozgov (knee strain) won't play tonight in Philly.

Who starts at the 3 tonight? I'm thinking Brewer gets the nod. Should open up some minutes for Hamilton off the bench.

Either way, I'm still expecting a win. Sixers without Bynum aren't scaring anyone.

[CanNugget]

f**k. Gallo already sitting out games...

My guess would be that Chandler would be starting at the 3 and brewer off the bench. I hope this opens up mins for Hamilton and maybe even Randolph. I really want to see what they can do.

Go Nuggets!

[CanNugget]

Scratch that, Looks like Jham is starting. Nice, hopefully he makes the best of it.

Damn I can't wait.. Stupid early games means I'm missing the first 5-6mins of it

Anyone have a suggestion on the best spot for finding discounted tickets these days? StubHub? ScoreBig? Ticketmaster? etc?

[eathb_au]

Brewer should not be in the rotation.

[RRFB]

Looking really sloppy on offense, way too many turnovers. I haven't been a fan of Iguodala's shot selection either. Definitely could be a lot worse than an 8 point defecit.

At least we're rebounding well.

[eathb_au]

Probably the worst game of basketball we've played in 5 or 6 seasons.

WOW LOL

[eathb_au]

If this was against a good team, I'd be ok with this loss.

This is a pretty bad loss. Can't believe our offense has fallen despite being ranked 3rd last year.

Wish I didn't see Hollinger's predictions. 43-45 wins is more realistic.

[Jaykoolzboy]

Why KF isn't seeing any minutes tonight? Thought he had a good first half.

[RRFB]

That was incredibly disappointing. Kind of sad that the only real positive to take away from this game was the play of the 19-year old Frenchie.

Iguodala was awful. Terrible shot selection, terrible ball movement.
Lawson needs to not wait until the 4th quarter to start playing aggressively.
Brewer still can't hit a jumper and it felt like he turned it over every time he tried to finish on the break. We can't afford to have him playing 30 minutes a night.

Definitely the worst offense performance by a Nuggets team in years, but they'll figure it out eventually. We need Gallinari back asap. His jump shot and ability to get the line/actually make his free throws were desperately missed tonight.

The Nuggets being one of my favorite teams besides the Cats who I root for, I was very disappointed in the way they played this game.

I won't get into detail, but it seems like nobody has mentioned McGee's play. He looked absolutely the same as he did in Washington. Jumping out on fakes, forgetting to box out, being late with help from the weak side, trying too much on offense which ends up in him turning the ball over, etc. Malik Rose who announced the game was on point by saying that he had been wondering why Koufos had got the starting spot over JaVale, but after this game it was clear to see why. I like this Denver team and I really hope that the dude doesn't turn out to be unworthy of all that money.

Probably the worst game of basketball we've played in 5 or 6 seasons.

Nash is not a good fit with the Lakers.

Iguodala is not a good fit with the Nuggets.

[SJSF]

Please see my post about Iggy in the can Iggy play SG.
