C'mon guys. The season is getting near, us posters need to shake off this rust on game thread making.
I'm still a little rusty.
Who???
Nuggets

VS
Timberwolves

Lineups:
Denver:
I seriously have no idea. Melo' is questionable, AI just rejoined the team..

Minnesota:
PG - Randy Foye

SG - Mike Miller

SF - Corey Brewer

PF - Al Jefferson

C - Mark Madsen

Keys to win:

N'

Run N' Gun baby, run n gun.
That is all.

If Melo and AI are playing, I don't know how we would out do them with run n' gun...that's their game.
However with Camby gone, Jefferson should have his way with them in the post.

I want Love to start, I know on many other teams he wouldn't but why give Mark the cheerleader Madsen the starting position?
Anyway, is Brewer starting because I thought that would have been given to Gomes

IDK, we seemed to do really well against run n gun teams last year, and with the addition of Miller and "Oulet pass" Love, we should be even better at that style of play.

It would have been easier for Jefferson and Love to score against Marcus "gamble for a block" Camby than Nene.

Since it's pre-season, they don't give you the projected lineups so I had to guess.
Brewer started last game so I just assumed he would be a starter, but Gomes could equally start too.

Yea but hopefully he's ok. What happened to McCants? Only 5 minutes?

Dude, i know its been said but Brew was 4-5 from 3.
I think im gonna have a nocturnal emission or something.
Foye also appeared solid, Ahearn off the bench balled it up. Shad with 8 pts in 4:27 this guy is looking to be a killer this year. Love with 11 boards.
I dont like reading to deeply into preseason games, but it seems like good things are gonna come from this season. I just hope McCants isnt pulling a Mike James.

After looking at the box score I can say one thing really stuck out. Corey Brewer 4-5 on 3 pointers. If he really improved that much over one summer I'll be amazed. I know this is only a pre-season game but still....18 points in 16 minutes. Nice!

Brewer should definitely be starting if this game wasn't a fluke.

Rashad with 8 points in 4:28 100% shooting but 2 turnovers.
Kevin love ties Big al with 11 rebounds
Brewer with 18 points
Mike miller continues to struggle in the pre season
