Melo was supposed to do an autograph session this afternoon, but didn't show up because "he's in the hospital hooked up to an IV because he has the flu." BS because he didn't want to go? Or true?

Yeah. It's always the follow up game attitude that gets me. If the Nuggets won 2 then lost 1 consistently they'd have 55 wins by end of season.

This is a good time to get win 2.

i hope we can translate this game into an "professional win" like karl always says. i want to see kleiza step up again because we need energy from players you don't expect to get it every game.

It would definitely be nice to see a blowout and some starters get some rest, but ill take a win no matter how many points we get it by.

Should be a win, just jump on them early. GO NUGGETS!

Hopefully we can keep playing with the same intensity as against the Jazz and Win this one by the end of the 3rd atleast and get our starters some rest. But you know a W is a W.

nuggets play very relaxed. we don't take them serious :noway:

EDIT: the blazers lost a couple seconds ago. we are division leader again if we win tonight

does anyone?

Don_eMOCION#31 · Post #13 » by **Don_eMOCION#31** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 3:23 am

no and that's the reason we lost that comfortable 14 pt lead :-?

i can see bad things happen if we don't start to defend

Just another example of how we always play down to the other team's level...

mlagoa · Post #15 » by **mlagoa** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 4:24 am

simply ridiculous...

We beat Orlando, Jazz, Dallas, Spurs, and lose to Hawks, Bobcats and now....
