Stars play well off bad nights.

Man he made our interior defense look like a developmental teams. He does that a lot but now we need to lock down on that.

Wallace had 40 points and we played our asses off.

So should the expecatation be that we have a chance to win this game or should I just not bother to watch it? We beat them at home last time but hey...not quite sure how this works yet! 8)

Since I read that as a shot at me I'll respond directly--Based off of our recent success I'd say it's reasonable to expect a competitive game againt the Nuggets. I don't expect a win, because we're not a good team on the road, but I'd be surprised if we got blown out again in the first half because superstars rarely play poorly 2 games in a row... then gain we're terrible on back-to-backs, so I really don't know.

If Felton and Wallace don't play, you're probably better off not watching.

If we're at full health though, I think we won't be too tired because we played so many scrubs during this road trip that the starters are probably ready to go. Also, McInnis meets McCarter, so this is one of the rare matchups where our weakest link isn't way way worse than the guy he matches up with.

Going with a win - I like how we match-up with them, plus, after two losses in a row, they really should be focused.

I expect a couple quality individual games... Denver's not a solid defensive team, and there are more oppurtunities.

That's a justified approach to this game.

just stopping by to wish you all good luck on tonights game. last night jason didn't play like himself, but i doubt that will carry on into the denver game. other than the game being a back to back, the only thing that might cause problems is the altitude. but you all have competed well against and have beaten the celtics. if you can do that you most definitely can take the nuggets. they may have 2 all stars, but they are surely beatable.

plus every nugget loss is a warrior win :wink: hope you guys rip them up tonight. i'll be watching.

peace!

Weird that 1#Don_IguoDalembert#9 is a Nuggets fan instead of the 6ers. Seems a bit fairweather. I mean if you were: IverSalmons or IversOllie or something, that'd be one thing.

Anyway, here's hoping for a good game.

Good luck!

He was a "sixers fan," but became a "nuggets fan" after the trade......when really, he's just an Iverson fan. Which does make his username kind of (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

No; I mean I got it, thanks for the clarification though.

So it's looking like Crash is out for tonights game.

:(

Camby and Najera are out too. Steven Hunter to get the start most likely. :lol:

Camby AND Najera out though, neutralizes the loss of Wallace a little bit. Who backs up Hunter at the C? If Okafor plays like he has been and Mohammed plays well how does anyone handle them?

For those interested in channel hopping............

UCLA is also playing at 9:00pm. You might want to take a look at Love and Collison.

Emeka was high in that interview.

I guess they're in Denver though.

i just remembered something that goes WAAAYYY GOOD in your favor. the boykins effect. that little guy LOVES playing in denver. when we first had him i remember we were in denver and down, arenas was was doing all he could and that wasn't enough. then the coach threw little earl in there to see what he could do and dagnamit if that guy didn't show up big. every time we played there he showed up big. that was most definitely a factor that gave him that nice contract for denver the following season.

if you can get richardson to play his game and let earl do his thing you guys will have a better shot than you think.

keep your heads up on this one. i'm predicting a cats upset now.
