Rare situation where we have a massive advantage at the Head Coaching position.

Sonics. enough said, though extremely impressive.

If the Pistons control the pace at home its possible that they can cut that score in half. 92-84?

That's probably not going to happen. Pistons probably need at least 110 to win this one, and we can certainly do it. So many Nugs don't even TRY on defense...

^They sure dont.

Gotta be rough being Marcus Camby. Bust your ass on defense only to watch your teammates slack in unison as your team allows huge point totals.

Carmelo Anthony's talent-to-effort ratio on defense is pitiful. I don't how I would have coped with him as a Piston; he would have driven me bat-shiz crazy.

good luck guys. the nuggets aren't on a 22 winning streak but they are extremely hot right now playing as an unselfish team ;)

but i expect the old nuggets when the defense (like yours) makes some pressure to close the passing lanes. so that comes to my prediction of 60 pts by Iverson & Melo.

i'm in high hopes for an enertaining game ;) and hopefully no injuries for both sides :bowdown:

^Its always interesting when two teams with drastically different strengths and styles meet.

One the highest scoring teams vs. one of the best defensive teams. Something'll give....

Iverson, who didn't speak to the media after the game, played with a fractured ring finger on his shooting hand and a bruised knee. Then, he bumped his head Sunday, which led to a huge knot above his left eye. But the all-star is expected to play Tuesday against the Pistons.

We may have to break our own 190 point record to win this one!

K-Mart doesn't play defense? He roughed up Duncan in that game in Denver.

However AI is just too small to get anything bu steals and Carmella thinks he too cool to play D.

JR Smith plays no D, either. Kleiza's a grinder, but not a good defender. Chucky Atkins has never played defense. Nene is out.

Camby's great, K-Mart is flashy and sometimes good, and the rest are looking for their next shot.

I saw the numbers Denver put up against the Sonics and wonder what it would take for the Pistons to win this game.

The answer...

Call in the military for defense

I'd still keep Samb and Hermann on your bench. :-)
