Not sure if he's topped it yet but I was at a game against NJ at the end of last year where he dropped 27

Was that ability to create a shot I saw by J.R.? The ability none of our (currently healthy) backup guards have?

Was actually a decent showing from both rookies, although it was as much garbage time as u can get they played pretty well.. scored a few points, Giddens with the nice pull up J and Walker was jumping all over the place with great energy

the reason they called that last offensive foul on Kenyon--was called he elbowed Big Baby in the face on his way to the basket....not because it was a charge.


he might have lowered his elbow.... no way it made contact with Big Babys face though....

But I will take back the refs comment... ya the refs made some questionable calls in the 1st half but Denver would have been blown out regardless.... I cant believe this team didnt show up against the #1 team in the league, anyways good game

IDK about that, shades of TA with that charge you could see coming a mileaway. I held my breath, hoping for some athletic feat but alas, no such luck.

Two impressive blow out wins on the road. Too bad Scal got injured again, he was playing well. We took it to the Nuggets with are defense and aggressiveness. Powe and BBD provided a lot of toughness off the bench. They are starting to gel.

Did anyone notice that Bill Walker was trying to get the ball to Giddens? Giddens finally scored his 1st NBA basket. It was nice to see both of these guys get some minutes. Hopefully we can see more of them in years to come.

That foul on Scal should land that 2nd string center on a suspension. Really, is there any need to take a player's head off. Maybe the coach sent him there.

I don't think it's George Karl's style to be thuggish, but the players he has sure have a history of such...I agree it should warrant a suspension, especially since it's no secret Scal already had a concussion...
