Nice game thread Eathy.
This is a game the Nuggets usually get up for, nationally televised and against a good team. No excuses especially with the way the Jazz are playing, we could be in second place in the Northwest after today if we don't take care of business.

But you know, honestly....as far as teams I would love to see in the second round, I'd say the Jazz are pretty much #1 on that list. So if we happen to finish with the 3rd seed because the Jazz are #2....that's fine by me. Assuming, of course, they make it out of the first round.

U'd think the Nuggets were getting blown out the way the ESPN guys are killing them.

Barry and Wilbon always do that with the Nuggets. It's the same story every time. I love Wilbon explaining why Kobe shouldn't worry about the Nuggets.
Whatever, just got to win games. Pretty frustrating second quarter. They didn't make the Celtics work at all on defense for much of it, and that's a recipe for disaster.
Make FT's, attack the rim, and they'll come away with a win.
Nice thread!

The Golden State game will be a shootout, the Lakers probably want to get a little revenge from the first two meetings, and the Nuggets owe Phoenix a beat down.
2-2 in that stretch would be good to go. 3-1 would be great and it's very doable.

Except DET team will bring it on them 3 GS, LAL, PHO.
I'd say 3-1 ! sucks to have too many days rest but at this point may beneficial to us to rest guys a bit. Some of em still playing hurt.
