Would much rather play Golden State/Houston/Lakers than Memphis and LAC.

If not for the Heat the Nuggets would be the talk of the NBA right now. But we are behind the tournament and the heat on talking points right now... but that being said what is going down with the Nuggets right now is fantastic.

You know there is something to continuity. Stone, Brewer, and Mozgov can go... right now it looks like we got 1 first and 2 seconds. So that could possibly be our whole off season right now.

Marc Gasol is out indefinitely but the Grizz won without him last night, be great if we could hang on to this 3 seed. Need the Clips and Grizz to lose a few.

Don't mean to troll but this topic just intrigued me, so i hope you guys don't mind if i chime in. It kinda sucks that we played most of our games with you (Denver) and the clips in the first half of the schedule without Bogut. I don't know what to really expect playing you guys and the clippers this time around. We ran the clippers because they couldn't hit a jump shot to save their lives but Faried almost single handedly beat us. With bogut now clogging up the middle, I hope he can somewhat neutralize Faried just as he did when the Knicks came into town and Chandler didn't come close to the crazy numbers he put up in NY.

Your thoughts..

Faried has had a very average second half to the season and Denver playing even better than it did before so...

Got a little help from Dallas tonight and the Clippers still play 3 games in the next 4 nights, all on the road. Hopefully they drop at least a couple of them.

After our second loss in a row we sit at the 4 spot. Half game back of LAC at 3 and a game ahead of MEM. It's worth pointing out we've play 2 more games than MEM and 1 more than LAC.

Ty's going to sit out tonight, that gives him six straight days of rest until the Jazz game on Wed. He could sit the next 4 games (3 of which at home) and end up with 2 weeks of rest. 3, 4 or 5 seed we need Ty healthy to have a shot in the postseason.

A 6-3 finish gives us 55 wins, Grizz would have to go 9-2 to hit 56.

Torn plantar fascia for Ty.

Gasol missed 6 weeks because of this injury, what luck.

4th seed at best if memphis keeps losing because they're without marc gasol

will probably lose homecourt, considering the way we've played without ty.

ugh.

Gasol needed surgery, they say Ty doesn't, he's listed day-to-day....Gasol is already back playing with the Grizz

It's still a concern.

This team needs to run to get its offense going, and it cannot do that if Andre Miller plays like he normally does and slows the pace.

With Stone out, I would be starting Iggy at the point and starting Hamilton to provide some spacing. Miller continues to come off the bench to get production out of McGee.

I wouldn't mind seeing some more Fournier or Hamilton with Iggy running a bit more point. Ty out is huge. I'm just hoping he will be back at full strength by the playoffs. A slowed Ty kills his biggest advantage against everyone in the league, his speed.

8 games in 15 days...should be an interesting stretch.

How is Ty listed as day-to-day when he experienced the same injury that kept Gasol out over a month. I'm starting to question the possibility that Ty will be able to play when the playoffs begin in a little over two weeks.

Nuggets are a game and a half up on the Clippers now, tied with the Grizzlies but I believe we have the tie breaker on them. With ty I would have more confidence, but right now good chance we end up in 3rd.
