Huge game, we could go a long way to wrapping up the 2nd/3rd seed with this win. Then again, seeds 2-7 don't really mean jack this ear, all the teams are so close. That being said, I'd rather play the Blazers than any other team in the west.

This game reminds me when we played Golden State last year to make the playoffs. Melo said they have this game circled on the calendar, so it should be fun to watch. Nene has to dominate Okur and Boozer. Our bigs have to rebound and not let Utah have second chance.
GO NUGGETS!

Not sure that its quite as big as the GSW game last year, but definatly a huge game. A win would all but eliminte utah from the division title, and would help maintain our seeding in the confrence. It would also push Utah closer to the number 8 seed, where they would be first round foder the the Lakers, and if we can hang onto the second seed, would give us a favorable first round matchup with Dallas. Utah isn't a great road team, so the Nuggets need to get out early, like Portland did last night.

Every game is huge, and every game against playoff teams (especially within the division) are the much bigger. Need a better effort than we saw last night.

I'm actually kinda pumped for the green jerseys.

It's not easy being green...

Green jerseys?

Anyway, gotta have this one. On national TV, I have a feeling Pepsi Center is gonna be in playoff mode for this game.

I hope you guys win. Please secure the 2 and 3 seeds with Houston so we can avoid the Spurs until the WCF, at which point LA will have already beaten them. This way we can beat your ass in the first or second round. Jazz are staying put at 7.

Go Nuggies!

Spurs vs. Jazz, first round.

What's this with green jerseys? Are we using a more energy efficient ball? Or have we finally assimilated to Karl's ideal Sonics team. I'm a little curious.

No matter, we need this win. Go Nuggets! Get this.

Inspired by Melo and Birdman, Nuggets are going 'green'.

Those Green Jerseys make us look a little too much like the Sonics.

Green jerseys should be interesting. And being on national TV also seems to help the Jazz, they don't usually feel like getting blown out in front of the whole nation so they should be more focused.

Is it just Denver wearing the green uniform? or are the Jazz wearing a uniform with some green on it as well? Or are there any other teams in the league doing it?

The Nuggets are one of four teams -- along with Toronto, Chicago and Charlotte -- that will abandon their normal color schemes and wear special green jerseys to bring attention to the event.

Teams league wide also will wear shooting shirts during warmups that are made from 100 percent organic cotton.

ZOMG exciting!
