I wonder if JR will play in this one?? who knows with our wonderful coach..
Go Nuggets! JO is questionable, but the nuggets should destroy them either way.

Smith is going nowhere. GO Nugs Pull this one out!!! 13-6. We have to watch the 3-point line in this one. In years past they have stayed in and blown us out of games with their sharp 3-point shooting becuase of our lack of good rotations on the perimeter. It resulted in wide open looks. This time we need to continue the heavy D and have a good rotating defense.

JR definitely seems a lot more involved than last year.

I'm really liking Kenyon and Nene's chances these days. Kenyon is beginning to step up and hit those hooks he had trouble with last year, and Nene is just insane hitting those jumpers AND dunking. Lot more assertiveness. Just got to love it.

I also heard from the Denver Post that there's a rumour about a possible trade involving Jason Kapono going to Denver in exchange for J.R. Smith and a 2nd round pick.

Bosh stats have been insane this year let's hope kenyon can shut him down like he did last year in toronto, hopefully melo will be alright and play but if he can't then i guess it's better to rest him now and let that elbow heal so he can get his shot back.

HAHA That was awesome. I didn't expect that to actually work either.

Nuggs should win with or without Melo. As lost as CB has an easily manipulated point guard to abuse, I always like our chances. Our only real problem will be rotations. This defense is impressive, but we need our front court to get out on those shooters quicker on the rotation. Having your hand up 7 feet away isn't enough in this league.

I also see LK having another solid game.

Games that everybody thinks we should win are bad news, just bad news.
