Key Matchup:

Camby needs to keep this monster out of the zone and prevent him from getting those offensive rebounds the dunk follows.

Melo scored 32 and Iverson added 13 assists. Howard 'only' grabbed 13 rebounds.

Another key to winning....Melo needs to use all that energy he saved up tonight.

[JEWELZ]

hopefully AI and melo wont be ice cold again

[Don_eMOCION#31]

they forced themselves to be ice cold tonight iverson didn't look very energetic tonight
melo never looks very energetic so i didn't see a diference there

[L-Burna89]

We're going to get hammered in this one.

We're going to get hammered in this one.

hopefully the nuggets don't think it's enough to end up 32-20 before All-Star break. i really think they saved the energy for the orlando game

Melo's passes are a lot crisper when he's on. If the ball is moving....that's Melo's energy. But most of the game he was just sleepwalking down the court, staying barely awake when he got under the glass.

but yeah you can't tell the difference just by seeing him

Did you even see this game? We went to OT against the worst team in the league.....all our starters played 40+ minutes(50 for AI) and the game was frantic as hell. I don't see how we conserved any energy here....and if we did, I'd be curious to see what it looks like when we go all out.

Plus, we haven't won in Orlando in about a decade.

hopefully camby can bring some intensity on the boards
but that really goes to everyone I hate giving up offensive boards
jr smith I hope can keep being the spark off the bench as long as kleiza.
melo and iverson need to be their normal high scoring selves

[Shady08]

Let's get it done before the All-Star break! GO NUGGETS!

[JRMelo15]

Stop Howard for sure, but don't forget to play D on others like Lewis and Turkoglu. Btw, I'm sure JJ Reddick is definately not a Key Bench Player.

[Nuggetsfanduh98]

I hate to be Mr. Down but Like burna said it's been hard enough for us to win in orlkando when we played miami in 4 Q's. Tonight we went to OT.

[DNIsLeGiT]

Guys, i have a feeling were getting this one in orlando tomorow, the streak will keep going and were gonna end this losing drought in orlando.

[djtruebeliever]

at jjredick the "key bench player".
I have a friend I have to track down because he owes me 50 bucks on a "jjredick's nba career" bet. what a silly duke fan that guy is.

[MELO4MVP]

According to rockymountainnews.com, we're one of 6 teams trying to get Lowry

Imagine getting Artest and Lowry

[eathy]

Lowry...

no thanks.

If we're gona add more to our 3 PGs (including AI), then i want one to be 6"3 or taller.

[Don_eMOCION#31]

yeah i know this was OT but you wanna tell me the nuggets played like a hard workin team? maybe it was only me but it looked like they didn't even run the court really up and down. but like i said, maybe it was just me because when i watch these games it's around 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning so maybe i was tired.

The Reddick Thing:
I don't even know why he's in there as a key player... these are the graphics from the last time we faced orlando and i only changed the record/streaks etc because no one is injured there (like the last time). I checked J.J.s stats a couple seconds ago and i really don't know why i added him as a key bench player back then. It's just a mistake, he seemingly had better stats and more playing time the last time we faced them...

EDIT: i don't want lowry either

[Don_eMOCION#31]

i didn't know where to post this



this is sooo beautiful... i can't stop laughin, wondering if this is his girlfriend. she looks like camby when he tries to get the offensive foul

[stos3]

hopefully AI and melo wont be ice cold again

As long as someone kept AI away from South Beach last night he should be alright...
