j.r. smith goes off for 36 tonight...
Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

This Nuggets team is pretty scary, and if we come out flat like we did at Sacto, the game will be over in the 1st quarter. We need everyone with solid efforts if we want to win the game. Yes, that even means you Arroyo.

Scrub of the night will go to Anthony Carter no doubt, Iverson will get 30 points/3 steals, Camby will get 15 boards and 3+ blocks, and Rashard will hit 4 3's.

Magic win by 7

I think if we show up we'll be golden, Jameer may have a big game tonight.

i think we expected to see meer and evans in the backcourt tonight..but what if we loose? will stan change the lineup again? maybe air garrity, the former baller known as pat garrity at sg?....should be a exciting game to watch, high scoring, talent everywhere.

I like your posative swing. I guess you are alright...108 is there "average" and we have the ability if the stars aligned to be above average defensively.

I seem to be the only one with a bad feeling about tonight. Hopefully we can do it.

I wonder if now that is out that Dwight has a son if it will affect his play. Kid is almost 2 months old so it doesnt seem like it has affected him on the court to this point.

doesnt seem too likely...

found this on the Nuggs board

JR will not be playing PG if he plays at all:

http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_7927655

"When it was suggested to Karl that reserve guard J.R. Smith could try his hand at the point, the coach said, "That would be a lot of fun, putting your worst turnover-per-minute man at point guard."

The 22-year-old Smith has played once in the past four games, during garbage time in Phoenix.

As for the personal talks with Karl about his progress, Smith said: "I've talked to George three times this year. It ain't really working no more. I'm going to go keep working, doing whatever I need to do to play." "


Strong words on both ends...sounds like a meltdown

Dwight's going to need a huge game tonight, at least minute-wise, because we'll need him in there most of the game.

A good heckling tactic for Denver fans would be to take full advantage of the baby situation.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Oh God, we're up against Allen Iverson, the guy who regularly gets 40+ on us.

as a Denver fan im more worried about Rashard and Hedo having big games than Dwight.

Dwight is beyond amazing but Camby, Kmart, and Nene should at least keep him from exploding. its the perimeter guys that worry me from a Denver standpoint.

Prediction.

Nuggets 116
Magic 101

Hope I'm wrong.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability
