pretty sure we got a shot in this one, mavs play very little Defense and its a b2b for them.

Go Nuggets Go Nurkic

Well our defense has been much better since the Rondo deal.....but Rondo and Tyson (and Dirk) are sitting tonight so yeah I expect the Mavs to get run. We always seem to struggle in Denver and take out 3 starters, b2b after a late overtime game, and the elevation and we are ripe to get blown out.

Gonna truly need Monta to have it all tonight...

Are they actually injured or is it disrespect shown towards Denver?

Seems like we're getting dissed, let's make them pay. AA is off to a good start, guy is averaging 24ppg over the the last few games...should help increase his trade value...

Exactly why we need a suitable backup PG. Ty has played 40 min and is showing it. Hopefully we don't blow this lead.

Faried came in and saved that game. Be nice to have a healthy Nelson and Gallo soon. Ty and Wilson aren't made to play 40+ min a night.

Lol at some point we have to accept in an 82 game season key opponents are going to want to use the night to heal up rather than end up drained unless it's a seed-detrmining game. Good business move. A little chicken poo poo? Yeah, that too. Just remember the Spurs have played Denver like a fiddle picking and choosing when to play Timmy vs. us etc. They glide right through to the finish every time though.

Oh, and I don't think Shaq has ever played in Denver in his later years.

One of these days our coaching staff is going to figure out it is a great opportunity to really push some teams. Wear out some of their supporting players and maybe good things happen down the schedule.

Should be the same mentality as you would have on defense if a guy bobbles the ball a bit. Pressure and push even harder. You have a team not putting out their best.....hand em a loss every time. Resting players in Denver is good business. But so is Denver taking full advantage.

I got to go to this game, first experience in a different NBA stadium.

Nurkic is a man. You can still tell he's a raw rookie as he does a lot of dumb stuff out there, but at other times he looks like the best player on the court. Give him a few years and he can easily be a Pekovic type with better D.

Faried is a fun player to watch in person.

The Pepsi Center is really nice, but seeing as the Bradley Center is the only other stadium I've ever been to my standards are pretty low. Great overall experience though. Not sure if the Chicken Waffle Bacon sandwich I ate was really good or if it was just the weed.
