Spurs lost tonight, so we've got sole possession of the 2nd seed in the west now.
No reason we can't win this game tomorrow night.

This game was suppose to be on ESPN, but they changed it couple of weeks ago.
I just hope we can start fast and not look back. Philly is not a good 3pt shooting team, they play around the rim alot.
GO NUGGS!

Defense picked up in the second half. Chicago will be pumped because of the trade that went down today. Hopefully our guys rest a little bit. Everybody was limping tonight.

good win, we looked horrible in the 1st quarter but i love to see us again our composer and pull out another win on the road. i'd give chauncey the mvp honors for this game, he single-handedly deflated the sixers during the 3rd quarter.

good win. i don't know why i keep getting worried about bad starts, because they always seem to pick it up and win.

hopefully gillen gets kmart & melo back to 100% before friday.
hopefully dahntay jones walks in front of a bus
hopefully lk's traded for raja bell

These bad starts stopped worrying me a long time ago, we always fight our way back into it and I just expect it now. Coincidentally, great starts and early leads don't get me excited anymore either, because we blow them every single time.

Good win. 5-1 on the road trip, anything less than 7-1 will disappoint me.

Solid win. Definitely an ugly first quarter. Everyone still must have been in break mode.
Nice to see Chauncey step up in the third and see Melo really hit the boards.
I really think this one woulda been a whole lot closer, maybe even had a different outcome, if Andre hadn't gone down.
Hopefully he doesn't miss time, he's got quite the streak going.

Seems everyone had cramps in their calfs. You'd think day after ASG would be spent stretching and drinking an ocean of water. The dunks by Kenyon and Nene were pretty sick nonetheless.

Kleiza should just drive for the next game. I don't think we can afford another clanker. All though, we are winning despite his poor play.

Why would we want him driving either? All that results from that is an offensive foul and/or turnover, or him missing an easy layup.

Great finish to the game but the first half was just abysmal. Good to see Melo crashing the boards and trying to be a better all around player. Great to be the second seed in the playoof seeding so far. Thank you New York Knicks, for beating the Spurs. :lol:

Denver looked sluggish in the first half and the poor shooting seemed indicative of a team coming off a lengthy All-Star break...... excellent playing on the offensive and defensive end in the second half. Excellent win!!!!!!!!!!
