Key Matchup:

Defense! Defense! Defense! They have just too many Weapons (K.G., Ray Allen, Paul Pierce) to stop one player and everything goes right. BUT get K.G. in early foul trouble and Bostons defense should fall too.

Last Meeting: Feb 19, 2008,
124-118 Denver Victory
Allen Iverson flirted with a triple-double and had 28 pts, 7 rebs and 9 assists! Melo with 29 pts and Camby with 13 rebounds. Celtics shot 44 % from the field. Key was a really bad game by K.G.

Denver: 4-4
Andersen will miss 2-3 weeks (from November 9th)
Atkins is out awhile longer after undergoing knee surgery before training camp.
Hunter's out with another knee surgery that may end his career.

Last 5 Games:
L Cleveland
W Charlotte
W Memphis
W Dallas
L Warriors

Boston: 8-1
Are on a 6 Game-Winning-Streak and hungry for more.

Last 5 Games:
W Atlanta
W Toronto
W Detroit
W Milwaukee
W Oklahoma City

KG always burn Nene ass, this will be a terrible game to watch!

Need to keep Pierce out of the paint.....force him into some bad jump shots.....
Don't know what we're gonna do against KG.....Birdman might have done a better job on him than Nene.
Ray ray, will get his points. Lets just hope he doesnt catch fire.
I hope chauncey takes the oppurtunity to score when he's being guarded by Rondo. Use some of our BIG picks to get himself open shots.....and do it for more than one quarter.

Good God. Better pull out the bottle of whiskey and get those drunk goggles on, cause this one's gonna be ugly.

Rondo - 31 points.
Melo - 125 TO's.

Don't have high hopes for this game, but you never know. Nuggets always seem to play to the level of their competition, so you never know. 2-1 on this road trip would be great.

I have to work tonight, but thankfully I have a DVR. A win tonight would be fantastic!

GO NUGGETS!

Wow if we win this, it'd be unreal. It will show the team takes the loss to Cleveland to heart and tries to improve. I just want to see the game competitive... guys trying to win. I don't think we'll win, but I sure as hell hope we do.

And I don't get this foul AT ALL...

He was freakin giving his face to Melo for him to bump him. Like, "cmon elbow me now!" He's inside the circle too.

if you catch the ball in the lower defensive box, the circle has no more meaning.

i still think bron fouled melo with his face though.

how long until game starts?

Come on Nuggets, show me something tonight against the defending champs

Melo drop 30 in a good shooting night, just missed a layup, but lets go

Far as J.R, its time to let him score at will

b-lawson · Post #16 » by **b-lawson** » Sat Nov 15, 2008 1:58 am

Lets keep it going baby

Post #17 » by **corona** » Sat Nov 15, 2008 2:07 am

i predict meltdown in 2nd half.

b-lawson · Post #18 » by **b-lawson** » Sat Nov 15, 2008 2:07 am

WTF is this sh*t

Not running plays, and letting them come within 6 when we was up by 12

I mean I dont understand what Chauncey was thinking by not telling Nene, Melo, and Carter(all standing on the perimeter) to move... first off why was they on the perimeter anyway

We could still be up by like 8-10 if we played smart within the last 2 minutes. Now they come out halftime down by 6, could potentially easy tie it in the 3rd

oh I didn't know that corona... no wonder.

Wow have we stolen the Spurs soul this season? We're playing GREAT D! Not since Billups arrived, but even with AI still on the team, our rotation was much improved... this game has been great. I'm loving the rotation... everyone knows what they're doing... Billups orchestrates the D, Balkman and Nene are doing great job, Melo getting into it as well and everyone playing unselfishly.

Wow... I'm so happy.

And guys are high fiving each other at halftime with genuineness... not the "cool" Marcus Camby back hand high five but never see eye to eye. This is what a team is all about... unity, shared common goal (to win), and commitment to it.
