If The Playoffs Started Today:

we wouldn't even participate

Is the Caveman going to play? I saw a couple of nights ago on some highlight that he was slowed down with a back injury.

I wonder which team will show up?being that the clippers aren't very good although they do have some talent and can beat some of the better teams.look for denver to play down to the competition.this very well could be a let down night for us...again!

[24K_Gold]

the best thing about the finish of the season is that we get a chance to play the teams ahead of us either 1 or 2 more times.gs,rox,jazz,spurs,mavs,suns,hornets are all within reach of us and if the nuggs take care of business they could beat those teams.

Nene - is sheduled to undergo chemo on Tuesday. should return in a month.

Isn't he supposed to be back a week after the chemo?

no, he said he'll start to do some workouts in the weight room to get into his old shape. they said he should return somewhere around the playoffs and for the next questions... jeah i have to edit the injured list of the nuggets because the chemo was this tuesday

chucky should return in a week i think, but maybe the healing process isn't going the way they think it should. i didn't read any news about him

<- EDIT: sry i found that on denverpost...

Denver reserve guard Chucky Atkins continues to improve following January's sports hernia surgery, and Karl said Atkins could return to practice as soon as next week.

yes his back hurts him the last couple of games. he's listed as day-to-day for tonights game. but when we faced hurted teams, i can remember many players who always came back against us so i put him in as a starter

Imo, he needs to come back much sooner than that. Mid march at the latest. You want to get him comfortable in the different lineups and get some cohesion with the rest of the guys. You can't expect to incorporate a guy who is so important to your team within a couple games. He needs to come back as soon as possible and play himself back into game shape.

[Don_eMOCION#31]

this isn't as easy as you think to come back 1 week after chemo chemo is the most delibitating medical and chemical therapy that you can make. it makes your body so amazingly wishy-washy that your whole hairs fall out in most cases. this isn't like taking some strong pharmaceuticals...

like Nene said before the chemo. he expects to lose 6-10 pounds only because of the chemo...

[JRMelo15]

So his pubes are gonna fall off too? Damn... :S

Anyways, we need to continue our play as we did against the Sonics, more driving to the basket on offense and not settling for jump shots. Get the fast break going and don't gamble on steals to leave shooters open.

Nuggets have a pretty brutal start to the month of March (Houston, Phx, SA (twice) and Utah)., need to finish February off on a good note.

Which games are all of y'all going to? Anyone going to see vs. Clips tonight?

I'm going to the SA game next friday

[eathy]

how long until game starts??

[Shady08]

2.5 hours....

[AI4life07]

We better win this game tonight. We play Dallas on Sunday which will be a major test going up against the new Mavs with Jason Kidd. I'm so stoked that the next 4 games are on ESPN!

I'll be there tonight... and just about every other home game the rest of the season. Season tix ftw.

[Powder Blue]

Getting little help from the bench so far, hopefully we can hold onto this one

Right state, wrong team......we play houston sunday, that's means T-Mac will have a monster game cause we rarely defend him but hopefully we can limit everyone else and win the game.

oh my... Tonight it's good ol' Nuggets basketball. Lol.

Yeah and dying for another "JR Smith- Why the hell is he in a coach's doghouse." or "Karl is so stupid, JR never takes bad shots" topics.

You really liked those three shots he put up in second half? Organised basketball, a'it?
