Great win for the Nugs! Let's take care of business in Minnesota now.

um, it did show up on the boxscore tonight though, 7 blocked shots.

This was an enjoyable win. Lays a good foundation for the month, helps erase some bad karma.

Atkins doesn't have his legs - but he gets a few more games (preferrably in games with a lead). He doesn't have his legs, it sucks.

JR Smith....I don't know, if you have to pick players I would rather see Chucky get a few shots because we know Karl is going to play him later on when it counts.

JR's proving ground is going to come in a lot of games - but if Kleiza is being agressive and missing 5 shots, and JR's being aggressive and missing 3 shots, JR's got to get more time in upcoming games.

But c'mon, this was a good game with everyone that played. There's always going to be a goat.

Yeah, you got me on the blocked shots stat, but you still didn't give me the play by play to the ending.... :rofl:

So we beat the Champs, it only makes sense that we drop the next game against the worst team in the NBA.

what happened to AI's son? I saw a mention in the 'players of the game' thread.

he mentioned in the post game interview that he had an 'accident' and needed plastic surgery. nobody knows what happened though.

Wow Kmart with 7blocks according to the box score.

Glad he's back to being healthy and playing well.
Had an off night shooting but I'm sure his defense made up for it.

**Nets fan here**.

All the best for the Iverson family. It's always scary when a child has to go through surgery.

"When he's around the house screaming and yelling like he usually does, then I'm pretty sure he'll be all right. That was my biggest thing once he started acting like himself again. He's real loud, man."
-- Nuggets guard Allen Iverson, after revealing the reason he missed practice this week: his 4-year-old son, Isaiah, fell face-first from a stool early Monday morning and required plastic surgery.

I hope Martin'll play but I hope he won't if he isn't 100% healthy.

And I'd like AI to kill DJ, but he won't have enough playing time.

What is this, World of Warcraft?

Just kidding, was a good win but not that great with Manu out. He destroys the Nuggets.

He fell off a stool and smacked his face hard. I guess he is doing much better now.

Sadly, I only caught snippets of the game last night, but a win against the Spurs is certainly a good thing.

I also caught the Inside the NBA guys discussing the Nuggets after the game. Barkely said something about only Camby understands that it's not all about scoring of everybody on the Nuggets.

what's to understand? he's not a good scorer in the first place.people try to do what they do best. its the managements job to get pieces that fit. but its silly to think that a player can fundamentally change their style of play consistently over an entire season just to "fit". the players are fine with what they are individually trying to contribute. The problem is that the only players that have been able to play their game are AI,Camby, Carter and Melo. The other players have been either injured or used inconsistently by the karl. JR for example is a waste of a roster space due to Karl's irrational dislike of him. He plays MUCH better than his minutes suggest. Also Im kind of surprised nobody is annoyed that they havent traded the guy considering how much he's getting paid to not play.
