Denver is on a four game winning streak, beating two of the teams that beat us. :(

It will be a tough game. I'm guessing we have a terrible start, come back and get close at halftime. Then after the regular schedule rotations, we get crushed in the third, and never recover. :( Man I hope I'm wrong. :D

Sounds like the story of the season...

I am putting my hopes at the All-Star break to form some team bonding

Faried is going to abuse our frontcourt on boards tonight, I am afraid.

Faried will be first player this season to go 20/20 in a game and will come against us. :(

There just has to be a huge effort to box him out. The problem we had with him this preseason was Gortat was guarding him often, and Faried just went around him to get in good position. Denveris a beatable team, it's just too bad they went on a four game winning streak. Since our coach sucks, our guys won't be nearly prepared for Denver. :(

Here's a video good luck charm. At first I was like "that's sexy" but after about a minute of watching I was like "that's impressive".

Let's see how our first and third quarters go tonight. The last two games have been pathetic, even with the win against Cleveland

This is a pretty fast and athletic team. I do not think we match up with them well.... and they are deep too. RunDog has already outlined the coaching edge.

Not looking for much tonight. Will take a big individual effort from someone, probably two to win this.


And please.... lets try to limit the Faried envy as our Morris the scat remains finicky with his play.
