Great preview at bright side, even though it is enforcing the notion that we are screwed:

This one does not stack up well for the Suns, who are 4-5 against current winning teams. They have gone 1-4 in the second games of back-to-back sets, largely because they have played top teams in those games just like this one. They have shot 43.5 percent in those games and given up 51.8 percent shooting.
Denver, tied with Phoenix and Dallas for second in the West, was waiting in Denver for Phoenix, which left US Airways Center after midnight earlier today. They were taxed in a tight game that tipped off late. They are playing in altitude tonight. Their 37-year-old small forward has to guard Anthony. Phoenix has lost at Denver in its last four visits.
....
The Suns are still on a four-game road losing streak.
* Denver is 11-4 when it has a day of rest or more in between games.
* Denver has scored 110 or more points in 17 of its last 20 home games. They are 19-1 in that stretch with 16 of those wins coming by double digits.

I've said it before but these road b2bs against great teams are just impossible. LAs one game like that was a blowout in Denver. Also I can accept the fact that we seem to be extra bad in b2b situations, prolly should have even lost the one in Philly.

Since we probably lose, can we see some big minutes from effin EC55, geez louise lets see tha kid play a little. In addition, I would like to see if Lopez can foul out in 5 minutes or less.

It's funny to me how Lopez thinks he is somewhat of a badass.

Would love to know how many homegames the Nuggets lose when a team has played the day before. It's bad enough with the altitude, if you play the day before it's damn-near impossible.
Expecting a Loss in this one.
Considering we played Nash and Amare so many mins I'm expecting Dragic to log a lot of mins and we should see some of Clark and Lopez (fouls permitting).

Gotta play every game to win. No scrubs like Earl Clark tonight unless we're being blown out big time.

Earl Clark i still think can turn out to eventually start for us down the road. He just needs someone that actually takes the time to teach him on a daily basis. It's hard being a rookie if the team is not relying on you to deliver every game. On Lopez i think he just doesn't give a damn or cares way to much to succeed but can't because he has no basketball skills? That's why he is acting like a baby. I remember last year shaq chewed him up nicely because he wasn't running back on defense.

Umm..0
Good luck tonight, should be very high paced, I expect the Nuggets to take advantage of you guys being on a back-to-back and get on a lot of fast breaks.
