Toughest game of the trip.
After playing an early game today, maybe b2b won't effect us that much.

shouldn't the early game be like a practice session for the Nuggs?

We have one big that is fresh in andersen, hopefully he can step up just in case nene gets tired and contribute for the team.

Jones needs to play good defense on johnson and make it hard for him, al horford, josh smith and marvin williams are guys we need to watch out for,can't let either get career night, don't let a random scrub score a bunch of points as well.

The defense needs to show up all game long not only in stretches because we can't afford to let teams score 30 + in quarters.

Less carter and more balkman and jr should be the key to the game.

Good one. If that were the key to our winning games, we'd be the Detroit Lions of basketball. Karl won't sit Carter, we all know this.

I'd like to see the Nuggets win this one, but I have a hard time envisioning a W. Again, we can't let them shoot open three's all night and expect to win.

Cant believe on that....

I just traded Tim Duncan and Balkman for Nene and Luol Deng on my fantasy league...

Unbelievable...

And yeah, Melo is my player too...

that was disappointing.

destroyed on the boards for obvious reasons.
melo was horrendous.
billups & jr couldn't hit from the perimeter.
i dont' remember kleiza doing anything except sucking on defense.
kmart & jones were pretty good, but they're not enough to win a game.

That's a sick graphic, Shady.

David Lee would have been a nice guy to have for this one. Hawks have an awesome team.

You'd think that Kenyon and Melo would get a few more boards with Nene out...

The FO needs to shape things up more. Every time the FO listens to Karl, we lose. When they do it anyway, it works out.... Sometimes. This team just isn't built to beat teams who actually know what they're doing.

^You damn right... DLee please come to Nuggets!! Kleiza bring Karl with you to the Knicks!

Wow Karl... what's next? Karl prefers role players over stars. Even Larry Brown is scratching his head on this one.

I'm not liking the lack of consistency in terms of following up success with success. Instead of wins somehow finding us this team needs to seek out a win and realize what they are doing wrong. Nothing is worse than game after game watching guys make the same mistakes.
