Denver has lost their last two games in Atlanta.

JR Smith is serving his seventh and final game of a seven game suspension.

Carrie Underwood performed Monday night on Letterman. She looked good. corona missed it. Sucker.

I predict 35 3-pointers will be attempted in this game. If JR were playing it'd be closer to 40.

[eathy]

I think we've lost.

Our defense havent been as good as last season so far, so this will be a good test especially after suffering our first defeat of the season.

I really wish George Karl would put AA into the starting line up instead of AC but we all know that aint going to happen any time soon.

Crawford has been hot for the Hawks so far, so let's hope he doesnt lit us up

Go Nuggets!

[SnakefromHell]

Seriously, GK's love for AC has got to start freaking out AC himself.

Other than that, it'd be a solid win if we can pull it out here Atlanta is playing pretty well, amid chaos with the loss of KMart. Imo it'd be for our sake to involve Malik Allen a lot. He would give us a big body to deny penetration by their guards and some extra open 15 footers as well as some rebounding.

They need to do away with the sloppy play before another player goes down. Fast forward is fine.....not sloppy though.

Our defense havent been as good as last season so far, so this will be a good test especially after suffering our first defeat of the season.

On the contrary, our defense has been slightly better this year statistically .

I am not sure if she could handle the most pressing need right now or not, The Nuggets need a big man that can bang (no pun intended). They need a high profile off of the radar heavy hitter to step in and fill the void:


They need Oprah:

I know a lot of people think Balkman should get the start in place of Kmart, but who do you give the rest of Kmart's minutes to? I think Joey Graham can play at the 4 spot and give the Nuggets more then Malik Allen can.

[MHZ]

George Karl would be better at the four than Malik Allen.

[MHZ]

Graham and Balkman starting? Wow.

[Powder Blue]

Graham and Balkman starting? Wow.

Have we seen the last of AC starting??

[Powder Blue]

Balkman with 3 fouls in a little less than 8 minutes

it's like, i dont even want to watch the game right now.....

[LokLok]

ugh...is painful watching the game now.

Let's hope we cut down to single digit by half time and go from there.

[aznkillabeezZz]

i dont see mvp material .......

[LokLok]

WT? Balkman with his 5th foul after 3 mins into the 3rd ?

Was hoping they start the 2nd half strong but instead the Hwaks goes on a 10-0 run?

[PeTBuLL]

Why only Melo and Billups has the right to shoot?
