KEY MATCHUP:
VS. 
After a huge win against the Lakers, the Nuggets have another tough game against their likely first round playoff match up. With 2 games against the Thunder remaining on the schedule and 3 games separating them, these are 2 must win games if the Nuggets want home court advantage in that series. Someone will have to give Kevin Durant a tough time and it could be a mixture of Gallo, Kenyon and Wilson mainly. Russell Westbrook will also have to be kept in check, although I'm not sure he has the speed to keep up with Lawson and Felton. The Nuggets depth should give them a big advantage as the Thunder bench isn't nearly as productive. Perkins and Nene should battle down in the post, but I don't see Perkins being able to keep up with Nene's quick post moves. Overall, should be a packed house in Denver with an exciting playoff like atmasphere.

Wilson Chandler via espn wrote:It helps us a lot as a young team. It helps us build confidence and trust each other and it helps us be grounded when the game is tight at the end.
George Karl via Benjamin Hochman/Denver Post wrote:I asked Roy – tell me, who’s better, Ty or Raymond? He said he wouldn’t pick a guy but said, ‘Ty is more talented, Raymond’s tougher.’ And he’s right-on. Raymond wins games because he’s a tough guy. He reminds me a lot of Andre Miller when we had him here. He knows the instinctive things that win games. Ty has the quickness and speed that very few players have. He has some winning to him, too. It’s been fun.
vs. Lakers Sunday: Ty Lawson: 5 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists; Raymond Felton: 16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists
but whatever, its your decision.
