Slick game thread man.

I'm excited for this one. After these last five cupcakes, this little road trip should be a pretty decent test to see if we're playoff ready.
Seems like when we come out sluggish and give up those big first quarters, teams that we should beat get confident. Against a team like the Suns who can put up points fast, and especially in Phoenix, I could see it getting ugly. Hopefully we get out and defend early.
No reason they can't pull it off if they stay focused. Go Nuggs woooo

If we can slow down the pace somehow and not allow them to run all night long, we should win this one. Barbosa is out so that's advantage for us. I'm sure our bigs will do a great job on Shaq.
GO Nuggs!

I still have no confidence in this team on the road. I really don't know what to expect. We could beat them soundly like we should, or we could get run out of the building.

Ah yes, the mind of a true Nuggets fan. I feel like I could probably go to the doctor and get medication for bipolar disorder, simply from watching the Nuggets so much.

If we don't win this game, then I think we should be a bit worried about what they're gonna play like in the playoffs

When was the last time the Nuggets weren't terrible on the road?

True enough. All though, the question in the end is which is the more dominant of the personalities. Chauncey's winning side is much more dominant. I think Birdman's winning side is much more dominant after seeing him in a few testing situations.

I look to Chauncey and maybe even Birdman to break the spell of listlessness on the road.

When you are bipolar and have your ass handed to you by your own hand, will you refuse to accept defeat.

When was the last time the Nuggets won in Phx? :lol:

Probably around the same time the Suns were as bad as they are now.

Lol ! I don't know who is worse, the players or our coach. Terrible!

Another night where they forget to start the game with any intensity or focus... Maybe this is GK's fault, but when are the players going to just bring it themselves??? Block out, play a little defensive...go to the O-boards??? Louis Amundson??? Goran?? making them look stupid...

they better get their act together quickly or it's going to be a 20 point game or worse soon!!!

Nene always take those stupids fouls...

Look 4 Melo and Billups, when Denver goes for BIG games, those two always play´s a selfish basketball!

Wow, maybe Kleiza should shoot all his 3's as a running hook from now on.
I can't believe we're only down three.

I really don't see the selfishness...I just saw a lazy beginning. Typical Nuggets...good minutes and bad minutes.. They fought off their lazy start...I hope they come out in the 3rd quarter and play hard.

LMAO... Right now, it's couldn't hurt Kleiza... It's amazing how badly they are getting killed on the glass and are only down 3....they need to take advantage of this!!!

Was a great 3rd until the last 3:30 minutes... If they play like they did the 1st 8:30 in the 3rd...the entire 4th... we should have a win in Phoenix since 2004.

Terrible offense...and terrible defense... = Phoenix with the lead!!!
