NBA.com finally updated a few of their images, I see. Arron Afflalo finally gets one in a Nuggets jersey, and Chauncey gets a new look as well.

Not sure whether the Spurs will maneuver their starting lineup around, such as putting Parker back in, but this is who started for them last game.

If you had taken the time to read the first post, you would notice that I mentioned that Parker could easily start this game. He hasn't started the last two, and this is the lineup they last went with. I'm not overly concerned if these lineups aren't exactly correct. I'm sorry if you are.

i wish but doubtful because AD is too good of a coach to let something like that happen.

...what

[MHZ]

Even if K-Mart plays, it will only be 15-20 minutes at most I'd imagine. They're going to try to ease him into it during the last few games of the regular season. Still, it would be a nice little morale boost to have him in the lineup period.

That's 15-20 minutes that Malik won't play, unless the Birdman can't go again. Any word on his fingers and Graham's injury?

[MHZ]

Not that I've heard. We should know more tomorrow morning. The injury list is bordering on being identical to the team's roster with Melo/Chauncey/K-Mart/Birdman/Graham/Balkman all on it.

K-Mart, Birdman, and Graham are all questionable. I'd actually assume Birdman goes. Not sure about the other two.

I'll attempt to translate...forgive me my ...what, it's not my language.

If Kenyon Martin comes back, we will definitely win the Championship. Petro has been playing really well since Kenyon got injured and our big men have been playing great! YES (jibberish)!

[KAVK]

Petro would have helped our frontline lot of grunting if PT was given. Its like a chain reaction Melo goes out for a while K Mart had to over work himself to fill the gap then he had to deal with his knee Melo does exact same thing and playing through pain. Really hope Petro will provide the needs....

Our coaching staff need to see long term total picture ahead rather than just worrying about game here or there! Team is in good position but could have been better. Stan better being cheap cause of next years MEGA FREE agency!!! or Melo will just simply leave to a team with higher goals and chance.

[Powder Blue]

Nice pic of SJ....Hope she can inspire Kmart to hit the court!



P.S.....F the Spurs

[el loco]

Kmart is playing tonight according to the Post
The same article said that the dleague dude would probably be in uniform and available tonight.

[MHZ]

Good deal. Now they need to go secure this win. Take care of homecourt, and you're guaranteed the #3 seed.

DENVER (AP)—Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin(notes) will play against San Antonio after missing 18 games with patellar tendinitis in his left knee.

Nuggets acting head coach Adrian Dantley announced Martin’s status on Saturday ahead of Denver’s night game against the Spurs.

Martin underwent platelet-rich plasma therapy March 8 and has been working out with the goal of returning before the playoffs start.

He is averaging 11.8 points and 9.6 rebounds in 55 games this year.

GREAT!

[DEEP3CL]

Pulling for you guys tonight, I get satisfaction seeing them lose.

Side note........Did K-Mart ever find that ball boy ? I bet dude is shaken in his shoes wondering if Kenyon will find him.

Anyway good luck tonight and kick the Spurs ass.

[J Smitty]

Do you want to play San Antonio in the first round or do you not want to see Denver in the second round?

[MHZ]

According to AD, they'll look to get Martin 20-25 minutes, which is a little more than I expected. That's good news. Now go win this.
