lets win for Nene from here on out.

i liked our 'all business' like attitude vs Orlando. i was wondering why we looked so serious that night but it translated well. Time to come together.

I liked seeing that workman-like game from the Nuggets against the magic. it's not an attitude I have seen from them that often in years past. a lot of wins I've found myself thinking, "if not for a few key, semi-lucky shots the Nuggets would not have found a way to win that game." against orlando it seemed like it was all effort; that the Nugs simply weren't going to let that one get away from them.

That GK picture is hilarious.

Charlotte knocked off Boston the other night; let's not fuel the upset fire!

It look like the serious mentality got into GK as well...

portland lost actually to the raptors in a double ot thriller. we're the leader of our division again and are 1 game ahead if we win this game

EDIT: i'll update the graphics/records tomorrow because we are 4th in west now and the bobcats lost yesterday.

I hope Nene is ok, sounds like it might be pretty serious. Let's get a big win tonight, and play serious like we did against Orlando.

Go Nuggets!

This should be a high energy game with a professional finish.

Najera, Nene and Atkins are all out. Fawk.

Why did Karl bench Melo in the first place? Melo comes back in and scores at will.

He's REALLY putting on a show out there.

its the first game of a back to back.

we complain all day about karl overplaying the starters. and now complain about him not playing them enough the minute jr/lk get some burn on the first of a b2b?

Neel · Post #18 » by **Neel** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 1:05 am

Haha I wasn't blaming Karl. I was just curious; It just came out wrong.

JR looked pretty good out there too, as did Kleiza.

Neel · Post #19 » by **Neel** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 1:09 am

Geez Charlotte has like 8442 Offensive rebounds already.
