Nene had a benign testicular tumor removed on January 14th. Should return 8-10 weeks from that date.

I hope we come out and crush them early and try to build a new streak, i have a feeling we might make a move soon and hopefully whatever move that might be can put us over the top.

what's up my peoples,haven't posted in a while but after last nights game I couldn't help but stop by and rant!why does karl keep screwing us?jr should have played last night(and i'm talking more than the last play)jr is coming off of a very good game against portland and would have added some much needed scoring from the bench.
if karl wants jr traded he needs to play him more to bring his value up some cause as of now he's nothing more than a filler...a filler with a lot of talent.
btw,karl also needs to play hunter...granted he's nothing special but if nothing else he's decent finishing around the rim and he alters shots in the paint....that alone should warrant 10-15 mins a night until nene returns!sometimes I feel like karl holds this very talented teams back from it's full potential along with injuries of course. :banghead: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Oh man, just proves how weak East is and has been for a while, no matter what anyone says, East is weak and not catching up to the West. A team lost 5 in a row in the East and is still in 6th place, in the West that happened, you'd be out of the playoff hanging out on the 10-11th place.

I don't know about the top 2...
top 1 maybe, but I'll take 3 or 4 teams from the west over detroit, in spite of the records. you gotta chalk up a lot of the wins any east team has to the fact that they are playing in the crappy east.

the playoff-matchup is also wrong:
The mavs are in 2nd place while the nuggets are 7th.

So it would be mavs-nuggets - just to remind you ;)

you're a funny guy :crazy: i made the preview yesterday and yesterday the nuggets were 8th and the suns 1st like meloivynene said.
yesterday night some nba teams played so that the standings and matchups CHANGED. but you are right, they are wrong right now what doesn't means that i didn't want to change it today :noway:

You should include the time and date for the game in the preview, just a suggestion ;)

Report is that Butler won't play tonight.

Guys, I highly doubt Butler is playing. He sat out last game, and the game before that he left in the 3rd quarter.

Our lineup will be...

Daniels
Stevenson
Jamison
Blatche
Haywood

Congrats on the win.

you might not think it, but playing undermanned teams often results in losses for the Nuggets due to lack of concentration/intensity. no game is a gimmee with the Nugs.
