We need this one. Toronto is playing Indiana so a win should allow us to pick up a game in the division. Brooklyn also just tied us.

Win or lose, doesn't matter, enjoy b-ball. If there was a season to lose games, it's this 1, I wouldn't mind if we can get a top 5 seed either, anything else, I'd much rather have us in the lottery.
Good assessment:

Denver has been hot lately. But win or lose, our team has really been fun to watch Although frustrating at times.
But as long as we see the improvement of Sully, Bradley and hopefully KO we should be happy.

It's a good season to showcase & develop talent. Oddly enough, it's also so out-of-whack in the East, that we are both in contention to Tank, and to get a Home court advantage. Freaky.
I'd like to see all our young talent get the ability to develop. Wondering about Faverani, though. Seems like we may need to cut bait on him. He doesn't seem to get it, and gets circles run around him.
Nevertheless, nobody can say that it's not an interesting season.

Huh? Hot? They dropped like 8 straight before blowing out the Lakers. This could be a tough L to pull out but I have faith.

Figures atlanta starts to falla nd brooklyn looks like they are going to creep up into the PO. We cant win.

However, as far as this game goes - its going to be ugly for our young guys. I dont see a win at all this week.

Brooklyn is old. The odds of them holding it together aren't so hot.

D-Will is having ankle problems again, too. Funny how their biggest injury issues this year pertain to their younger stars.

Don't see any scenario with Boston escaping Denver with a win.

No pregame show tonight because of a new Gary Tanguay show. Always the turd in the punchbowl.

Hump down (I'm assuming) for this game should mean more minutes for Kelly. Let's go rook.

Looking forward to the Pressey/Bayless all defensive backcourt. Should be a fun up and down game. Denver wins by 12 points.
