I'm going to try some reverse psychology, Denver needs to have a mentality -- that this is a road game.






Denver's home record: 11-9
Denver's road record: 11-9

If this works, I suggest KAVK to use this format for future Denver home games.

11-9 home record is unacceptable.

Gallo helps a lot but i happen to really believe our bigs defensively held the ground for our success this season. It is just too sacred of a place for Defense to hand it to Nene at Center. Of course when comes to game time adjustment we know what the eff to expect from Karl.

Moving forward we need to have at least one of Mozgov, Koufos, Bird or Faried at Center to finish games off behind perimeter defense to come help out. Al is good on offense but he is gassed out and needs strategic rest through the rest of the way for postseason. Dre needs similar limited minutes in order to back Ty not along also to have a legs for the playoffs, much as i not liking Miller now it is inevitable to deny his experience come playoffs.

Enough for pessimism. It was a black day for west conf team luckily for our standing. Let's roll forward.

Yoga, Good idea. Godspeed.

With just 26 games left in the season, George Karl needs to stick to a 9 man rotation now and work the minutes evenly so no one is exhausted come Playoff time. With Nene and Gallo working their way slowly back into the rotation, once they are 100% healthy, I would like to see minutes as follows:

C - Mozzy - 18-22, Nene - 14-18, Harrington - 10-14
PF - Nene - 16-20, Faried - 18-22, Harrington - 8-12
SF - Gallo - 32-36, Brewer - 12-16
SG - AAA - 32-36, Miller - 6-10, Brewer - 4-8
PG - Ty - 32-36, Miller - 12-16

Have Koufos, Bird & Hamilton play energy minutes

Bench Rudy for good. Activate Stone if Ty, AAA, Miller are injured.

We don't need Wilson Chandler.

Rudy Fernandez was a beast 3 pt shooter during his rookie season...I remember he injured his back in a game against the Lakers and hasn't been the same player since.

The Rudy Fernandez from Rookie Year with Portland Trailblazers come back!

Fernández was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team on April 30, 2009. He set NBA rookie records for number of three-point field goals made (159), hitting a three-point field goal in 33 consecutive games, and making a three-pointer in his first 20 career NBA games

i agree with some parts of that rotation and definitely agree that we don't need chandler but i still want to get a draft pick for him.

What makes Mozzy better than KK?

Let's see if this team come out with different mental approach.

Marco Bellinelli is a decent shooter...I wonder if we can do a Rudy Fernandez for Bellinelli trade?

For some reason Denver plays better when Mozzy starts...his impact on the team doesn't always reflect in his stats

West teams in the race are sliding & we got to push with this home stand.

Bird block was nice. Gallo still bit rusty but better today not so tentative. Jack is getting it going, Miller just got burned.

Gallo 0-5 so far, he should just focus on getting to the free throw line

If DAL lose then we are one seed up!

Nice win. Gallo seems to be finding his groove a bit. Next one is going to be a challenge.,

hmm. okc lost to cleveland. somehow, them winning against us doesn't seem that bad anymore.

I liked the play by Birdman where he looked like he was going to pass and snuck around Kaman for that dunk. It seemed like Nene, Bird and one or two others caught Kaman off guard on a few plays.

Yeah OKC did not respect them either. The Basketball gods will make you pay for those.
