20 points in 6 minutes of play? much better. let's hope they keep pushing. looks like the negative cloud may have been removed from this teams identity.

Fair to say that Chandler's 3pt% last season was a fluke?

Great offense and defense so far. They should have a player meeting before playoff games if they make it

It was so bad, the ref who called it couldn't even explain it. :lol:
Another reason I hate NBA officiating. If you're going to make a ridiculous call like that, you owe it to the team to give some type of explanation. Love to see Shaw sticking up for Fournier though. Apparently the crowd went nuts too as he was walking out.

100+ points after three quarters. That's a nice change. All they needed was some confidence.

Never seen so many techs in a game after mozzys, no reason for that one either.

Those refs were doing everything they could to keep them from a 30 point win, cannot find much that the Nuggets did wrong in this game. I did like Shaw calling out the refs, that was one thing many people hated about Karl is that he would let the refs slide.

Interesting quotes from Faried especially all through the twitter feed of Sharan, looks like Faried got the message about his defense, and it looks like Shaw has finally agreed to let them run when they have a chance.

The short rotation is working wonderfully. It kind of sucks that Hamilton isn't getting any time, but I'm so happy to see Fournier getting regular minutes. Frenchie can play and even when he isn't scoring alot, he makes so many good plays. I do wonder what will happen with the rotation when JaVale and Gallo come back. I almost feel like McGee is an odd man out and it would almost be a shame for him to take minutes away from JJ or Mozy, but who knows, he may bring more to the table. Gallo's fit on the team is a huge question mark to me. Can he and Chandler play together on the wings, or is it time to make a move of one of the two. I also wonder what we will get for Miller. I kind of hope its mainly just a pick, we don't need anymore players wanting time at the moment.

Anyways, exciting win and I can't wait to go to the game on Thursday. This team is in prime position to beat on the Thunder with the way things are going.

Quincy Miller has only played a total of around 50 minutes this season, but always seems to be able to hit a three in the little garbage minutes he gets. He now has 4 threes (5 attempts) on the season. Really looking forward to how he develops and eventually become a rotational player.

I would agree, but either Chandler or Gallo will probably have to be moved for him to get a chance. We should probably also try to get value from Jordan Hamilton if he is out of the rotation and probably on his way out of town this summer since we didn't extend him.

Wasn't sure where to put this, so feel free to move it, copy it, whatever.

This is from Sam Amico's chat at noon over at foxsportsohio.com. Take it for what it's worth:

FOX Sports Ohio: I'd watch out for the Rockets. Keep hearing the Nuggets, too, although not sure how real that is.
