Key Matchup:
v.
The big ticket can hurt us in so many ways that kenyon must do a good job on D! to make us win this game.
Last Meeting: Nov 7, 2007, L 93-119
A.I. had a team high 22 pts and was the only player the Celtics couldn't make suck offensively. The only problem was that the passing lanes to Iverson (6/11 FG ; 8/11 FT) were shut down very effectively. Melo was 3/13 FG. The nuggets had 24 TOs.
Denver: 32-20
Steven Hunter - right knee inflammation
Nene - had a benign testicular tumor removed on January 14th. Should return 8-10 weeks from that date.
Chucky Atkins - is out 2 months with a sports hernia.
Keys to winning:
Great job on defense, make the extra pass (if needed)
Last 5 Games:

Well this should be interesting.
Though I thought KG wasn't supposed to be back until later in the week?

Well, you pretty much copied your game graphics from our very own WestTheBest, or vice versa.
By the way, do you guys remember the good old times in November when we used to lead you guys at halftime 77-38? That was probably the best offensive performance I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure this won't happen twice, but don't expect to suddenly turn around the favor.
Updated injury report:

You copied your (current) graphics.
In this case, "your" means the ones you are using.

This game should be interesting, with all the trade talks going on and the players just finishing the all star break will they be ready to play, are we even gonna make a trade before the deadline and if we do make a trade tonight or tomorow can the players play in the boston game?, if not then i guess that's why the front office is still holding on til atleast we finish the boston game.
This game is gonna be tough because boston is really good and i hope we'll be the first west team to give them a loss. hopefully we can continue the success we had at home and have a strong finish to the season(i want to win the division).

i hope camby wants to make a statement at this game. it seems like everytime we face a team with a good big man (howard, yao, kg etc) camby dissappears from the things he normally does. this results in 7 rebounds or something like this...

Kevin Garnett looks good to go for the Celtics tomorrow night. He just finished a full workout with the club here at the Denver Athletic Club and reported no setbacks from the abdominal strain that

from my understanding, 1#Don_IguoDalembert#9 asked wtb if it would be alright if he used the same concept before doing it.
what's that saying...'imitation is the best form of flattery'

It's a well known fact that Camby only gives about 75% effort on the second night of back-to-backs. All of those players you mentioned were games in that exact situation. I think it has less to do with who we're playing and more to do with the situation in which we're playing.

one thing I hate about camby is that he never ever shows or try to trap on the pick and roll...expect a heavy dose of ray ray and paul running the pick and roll to death!
damn I miss nene!

**** the graphics. let's talk about the game. i say the Celt's win a close one. I'm staying up for this one. I love watching AI and Melo play. i also enjoy watching NENE, i don't know why though. I think once NENE is truly a %100 he will be worth the 10 mill a year.

denver being at number 5 on defense? probably has do with their frantic pace.
