Game started at 6 pm on altitude

Looks like Brewer has fallen back to earth and is no longer making jumpshots.

Should trade him soon if we intend to while his value is at its highest.

Not watching but doesn't look like I'm missing much.

What's the deal with Chandler?

well that was disappointing.

OKC are different league. I couldn't watch second half. Too painful.

I understand they were on the 2nd game of a back to back after playing overtime the night before, but I am still a little pissed about what I saw last night. The Thunder came out and punched the Nuggets in the mouth and only Koufos, McGee, and Miller seemed to want to stand up to them. This team has to get both physically and mentally tougher if they want to succeed in the playoffs.

From what they said Chandler was held out for precautionary reasons last night.

yea, but at this point OKC is just a bad matchup for denver.. they are where the nuggets hope to be in a year or so... OKC you can see looks like a well oiled machine that has played together.. Denver has the talent, but not the time to mesh all the pieces.. Iggy is new, Mcgee, etc... I would like to see Denver get out to a fast start in the rematch of OKC on sunday... come right back and hit them in the mouth...

Honestly, I don't know if anyone could have beat OKC last night. When Westbrook gets it going like that and the rest of the team is knocking down 3's, there's not a lot you can do.

With that said, we still played awful and it's starting to get annoying that we come out playing like **** in the 1st quarter every single night.

I understand that the Thunder are a bad matchup and will win most nights, however watching Perkins and the Thunder constantly cheap shot every body and the Nuggets crying more to the refs then delivering a few blows back to the Thunder was what was irritating me. While I was not a huge fan of 90s basketball, I was of 80s NBA ball, and even then if you were pulling the crap that the Thunder were such as shots in the back and constant pushing and pulling or Gallo, Lawson, Faried, and a couple of others, and the refs are ignoring it, someone needs to knock durant or Westbrook on his ass even if it is a technical foul, let them know you can play dirty as well. That is one reason so many teams seem to be so physical with the Nuggets lately, they are not putting a stop to it, one things young teams have to learn to do.

yea, I can feel that... I don't like rough house basketball, but I don't mind clean physical play, and there is a fine line.. the problem i have today, is that you deliver a hard foul, you are getting a flagrant and possible ejected.. I would have loved to see some one put a hard lick on westbrook or durant.. send a message... what denver is going to have to do, especially this sunday is match the intensity of the thunder, I mean come out the gate.. I would love to see gallo get a bit nasty, he plays better when he is hit in the mouth so to speak..... I would like to see faried play more nasty.. Now faried is nasty in a good, clean way, I mean nasty like, get out of the lane nasty.. so we will see how they react sunday.... I can't wait.. Nuggets and Falcons playoff this sunday.. not a bad lineup... lol, I am a jets fan, but I have been in atlanta for 20 years so, i root for them to win as well...
