This is my second favorite team in the NBA. Melo is my fav player.

Denver's starting line-up:

I think it's considered a moral victory if the Wolves beat the spread nowadays.

I just realized that Rodney Carney would probably be the best 2/3 we have on this team right now if he was still here.

1.) I have to wonder if Rambis is thinking, "holy $h!t"

2.) I'm growing tired of Al. I know he's recovering from injury, but at the same time, it's an opportunity for him to simplify his game and work to be a better passer ... I just don't think he has the mindset. A high caliber SG would help, but he has to help himself first.

3.) We just aren't very good. I'm afraid we might be bad enough to where a quality FA may not seriously consider coming here.

4.) Rubio, Brewer, and Love are the only 3 players who I can fit in with this offense.

5.) I no longer feel Laimbeer will have a tough guy affect on our big men and to our defense.

Last I checked, free agency doesn't start after 14 games.

Is it possible Rambis might be a coach players don't want to play for? I don't really recall any positive commments coming from anyone other than Kahn so far (to be fair, I haven't really looked either).

I do remember when Flynn said he's the kind of guy who always has to be right, even if hes 99% wrong, he'll hold onto that 1%. See: refusing to give Flynn & Sessions combo a try. Stubborness can be a good thing, but not when the style of play means half the D-League teams could beat you.

As for the game, I think it should be a fun one. Most of DEN opponents score over 90 points a game, so we have that to look forward to. I'm interested to see what Al does in this game. Will he try to dominate and come up flat?, Will he try to help the team by other means than scoring?, or will he show everyone that he's feeling better by embarassing a Brazillian, A Birdman, and a Thugget?

I'm frustrated with Al too but I'm no where near the mindset of guys who think he shouldn't have a spot on this team in the near future. He's going to be horrible that's jsjt how it is. And I highly doubt Love is going to come in here and single handily turn things around. His defense isn't much better and he hasn't been a great scorer either. He will move the ball around but with this cast of characters that wont do much. He will bring the rebounds though and that will be a big help. Maybe h has stepped his game up alot and he will be able to do more offensively as well. We need a reliable scorer BAD.

I like what mike said he's thankful for. I agree.

As crappy as this team is, I am happy we have an NBA team and we have someone to root for. Also, FSN does have some awesome coverage, more than the current team deserves.

I'm wondering what Rambis means when he said he's seen big improvement.

Nuggets are pumped for this easy win. We are the stepping stool for the NW division. They like us because we help them improve their standings.

I'm thinking that I'll just watch Miami/Orlando.

Its funny how other teams get scrubs players and all the sudden those scrubs play really well. We get scrub players and they get worse.


Lovely, FSN audio is cutting in and out again!

man it's pissing me off that Flynn is driving to the hoop while getting bumped several times by Nuggets players but not getting any calls.

Well at least they're not teasing us with a close game early.
