Make or Break Time 

Post#1 » by milehigh » Tue Jan 26, 2010 7:27 pm

Jan.
@ Houston
@ Oklahoma City
@ San Antonio

Feb.
Sacramento
Phoenix
@ LA Lakers
@ Utah
Dallas
San Antonio
@ Cleveland
@ Washington
Boston
@ Golden State
Detroit
@ LA Lakers

Mar.
@ Phoenix
Oklahoma City


13 of the next 17 games are against teams above .500. 10 of the 17 are road games 8 of which are against teams above .500.

So my question is do you think the Nuggets hold on to the 2nd seed, push the Lakers for #1 in the West, or start to slide in the standings?

nuggets have been very good against .500+ teams.

as long as everyone stays healthy and ken mauer isn't tossing our players for clapping, we'll be fine.

I'm a little worried. We've been terrible on the road - Melo, specifically, doesn't get any calls around the rim on the road, and he often gets ultra frustrated. What we have going for us is that Chauncey, who played pretty poorly early in the season, is red hot right now. We'll see. I can easily see the Nuggets sliding in the standings during this stretch.

Don't get yourself too high or too low.

If I were given a test to measure where I am in terms of my accomplishments, I would do that everytime, just to see where I am at. Even if the result is honest.

Time to see how good this team is.

But imo this team, when they play focused and give it all 100% like in the Hornets and Bobcats game, a game where you as a fan really don't have anything to complain about, is very very good. Like Karl says, it's not how well they play, it's how they play. I agree with him on this one.

Time to see how good this team really is!

Gotta meet force with force.

When the guys playing with will this team is very hard to beat, we have seen it many times. They just gotta have that mind set throughout the rest of the season. Hell we might push LAL out of that # 1 spot. U NEVER KNOW!

I feel we'll be able to hold our own even it a majority of the games are on the road. We have to beat the best to be the best, so let's see if we're a top contender in the West afterall.

If you lose to the Lakers at LA, then on a back to back lose at Utah who is rolling right now. Your loss total is tied with Utah, but you own the tiebreaker.

Personnally I think Denver splits that back to back. Probably wins at LA.

I think we take the Utah game but lose to LA. They are gonna come out pissed after the smashing we gave them last time and winning at staples is never ez.

Terrible loss to the Suns last night. AC should never be allowed on the floor again unless Ty and Chauncey are both injured cause he was just terrible. J-rich took him over to the scorers table and had his way with him the second he came in. Not like anyone really had a great game though

Wow, good win over LA, now if you can win in Utah on a back to back. That should get some press.
