So we have a better offensive rating, a better defensive rating, better rebound rate, better steals rate, the only place they beat us is in blocks.

But we still have trouble with them. Any predictions for tonight?

Oops, old man trying to use a smart phone - my bad. LOL Now that I'm on the computer and can see things better, I also notice that it's assists where we are better. So they beat us in two categories: blocks and overall defense. Everywhere else, we are better.

Still didn't see your prediction for tonight. :wink:

Of course you didn't see mine either. :lol:

Plumlee gets 4 minutes of play after Nurkic sags off of him and the Blazers destroy us in the pick and roll.

The way the Nuggets play the pick-n-roll ... ... I'd better stop there or I might say something that I'd have to report myself for. 8-)

Malone starting Plumlee again tonight. What a buffoon.

This is a must win for us. In NOLA-POR-LAC triangle, Portland is probably our best shot for a playoff.

If we lose tonight it will be 26-21 POR and 23-24 DEN big difference, unlike just 25-22 vs 24-23 if we win.
After -4 on halftime, lets hope for another great 3rd quarter, which we do best this season.

Did Chandler just pass that game winning rebound back to the Blazers? That was awful.

FINALLY, pulled one out and against a divisional rival....baffling team but way to go Murray !! If it wasn't for the fouls he'd have gone for 50+

A win is a win, and in this case, I will call it "a double win" (vs our playoff arch-enemy).

So lets not talking about M*****, but about M*****... I mean Murray

Actually it was slapped out of his hands - but I had to rewind to see it. I was thinking the same thing.

All I'm going to say is, the starting rotation was ... the in game rotation was ... the Nuggets seemed intent on losing but Murray just refused. For all of the +/- fans, Murray had the worst +/- of any starter (well, a tie, but still).
