anthony "kwame brown of pg's" carter makes a comeback. hopefully gas prices have made ac reconsider driving that hulk hummer.

kleiza will probably drop 30 on us.

gary forbes will likely show some flash too.

i can't believe our back court is so depleted. hopefully we'll win this and get one of them back on the next game. this many injuries is ridiculous.

[clockwork]

by the way, i still say birdman takes the trophy of what the f*** cars.

[Ice32]

I would expect Dre to start at PG and Brewer at SG. Stone should see some action, and possibly Faried (if its a blowout).

[DaFan334]

I guess it should have been AC's Hulk Hummer vs. Birds post zombie apocalypse van truck thingy instead of Lone Tree PD's waste of money.

[Aeternus]

Bargs is 99% out for the game. Raps sources say 2 grade strain so that's weeks of rest.

[RRFB]

If they don't have Bargnani, this shouldn't even be close. 48 minutes of our bench alone should be able to beat these guys.

[Courtside]

Bargnani is not probable.

Yesterday's MRI being reviewed by medical staff and doctors (including some in Italy) before any decision is made - though it's expected today and why he's listed as a game time decision. If AB himself is any indication, it's worse than the last pull that caused him to miss 6 games and when he probably came back early. The tank is now full steam ahead and if anything is 'probable', it's that they'll be extra cautious and hold him out of the line up as long as they can.

[almost famous]

With or without Bargnani it shouldn't be close.

Is Rudy Fernandez playing tonight? I guess "probable" means a game-time decision.

Yeah he was a game time decision but the Denver post just confirmed he and Afflalo participated in practice and will play tonight.

probably just a mistake, although i wish it was.

hopefully gas prices have made ac reconsider driving that hulk hummer.

it was probably confiscated at the border by the mounties.

[Ice32]

AAA and Rudy look like they are good to go, although I don't expect them to play huge minutes. Just means Karl doesn't have to rely on Stone as the backup PG.

C - Mozzy - 20, Nene - 14, Birdman - 14
PF - Nene - 20, Harrington - 28
SF - Gallo - 34, Brewer - 14
SG - AAA - 24, Brewer - 14, Rudy - 10
PG - Miller - 38, Rudy - 10

Nuggets by 25+

^^Koufos should get burn / playing time over Birdman...I hope the FO didn't give Kosta a 3 year deal to be on the bench, while Birdman is getting dunked on and letting the opposing team grab all the rebounds

confiscated or mistaken for the sasquatch and shot on sight.

[clockwork]

from the raptors board;

Linas Kleiza will start tonight for the #Raptors in place of Bargnani. Coach Casey likes James Johnson's athleticism vs. Gallinari #SN590 #smithandjones

[KAVK]

Hope KK and Faired get some PT. Hope we not gonna take them lightly and cause trouble.

[corona]

maybe some manimal in the 2nd quarter tonight?
