LJ will probably have a better stat line.....but the Nuggets should blow them out.

Not a blow out but we'll win by a decent 10-12 points.

Looks like Larry Hughes is out also, something wrong with his toe, lsited day-to-day.

Guys we have the same announcers(well 1 of them doris burke I beleive) we got when we played @dallas last time on ESPN so expect a hate fest on the nuggets 2night.

I did'nt catch that last part she said a trade was pending but I was in the other room was that pending trade for us or the Cavs??? or did I hear it wrong???

I don't know bout you guys but somehow I#m afraid of this game

I'm far from afriad of this game I'm pretty sure this one is going to be a W.

Hughes is prob going to play but the Cavs are still missing so many players you guys will see some UGLY lineups out there. Lots of Ira Newble, Eric Snow, Donyell Marshall.....Cavs don't really get blown out at home but you guys should def win this one on personnel alone.

WOW! i'm loving the way Melo has been pl,aying since the week off...Maybe he was jsut tired from basically year round B-Ball.

31-19 right now and cleveland took a timeout this is our record by the end of the night seems to be a sign

Good look from MC to LK just could'nt catch it.

15 points 7-10 from the field for Melo and 11 points 5-6 from the field for AI...WOW!

1st carter takes a stupid ass shot then Camby takes Melo out to try and get a rebound.

put jersey#3 back on the court GC. he's hot with his 11/3

anybody wanna tell me why AC plays so many minutes? I'm guessing nobody still has that answer?

I'm assuming JR is getting all this time so we can showcase him for other teams....when in all reality, we couldn't get anybody nearly as talented as him in return? No other reason for Fat Boy to give him this playing time this early is there?

Or because JR has been pretty damn good in the past against Cleveland. Whereas, he is wildly inconsistent against other teams. Though I do love how there is always a conspiracy on this board regarding JR and Karl. It is entertaining.

conspiracy? strong word to describe the truth isn't it? it's pretty obvious that fatty would rather play an inferior player then JR, then play JR, and put a better team on the floor.....pretty simple actually....

does anybody else think our ball movement improved dramaticly ? (over the last 3-4 games)
