Official Denver Nuggets Game Thread

[paguy1955]

Two of my fav players going at it. Am anxious to see how the Nuggets respond after that horrible loss to the Nets the other day. Miami's great at home(17-8), so this will be a challenge for the Nugz. Hopefully, Nuggets get the win and both Melo/Wade play great tonight!

Well did you get your answer????

YES!
Except, I didn't get to watch the game. Had to go to class, but maybe I can catch the rerun on Altitude tomorrow. (Sorry no Tivo )

Here's the Nugz/Heat Recap:

[QUOTE]Once again, facing the Miami Heat was all the Denver Nuggets needed to get back on track.

Chauncey Billups scored 13 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter, Carmelo Anthony finished with 19 points and nine rebounds, and the Nuggets swept the series with Miami for the fourth consecutive year, beating the Heat 99-82 on Tuesday night.

Kenyon Martin had 18 points and 10 rebounds, while J.R. Smith scored 10 for Denver, which wasted much of a 20-point first-half lead and still defeated Miami for the eighth straight time. It was the Nuggets

What a beautiful performance by the nuggets. K-mart played to his strengths offensively. AC was a pest on defense. Chauncey and JR put the game away with late three pointers.


Some bad notes: Kleiza continues to be the most inconsistant player in the NBA. Birdman got hurt, hope he isn't out too long. Rediculous calls for dwyane wade that carmelo didn't get.

Did it look bad?

A sprained wrist and hip contusion. Sure he'll be back to sending shots into the stands soon ;)

Although we could use him against the Magic tonight. Either way, I think Nuggets lose the game. Orlando, without Nelson is still a great team. Plus, it being a back2back game doesn't help the Nugz at all.

Well looks like you MAGIC crystal ball failed you!!

Sloppy game offensively. Fantastic game defensively.


Orlando is one of the most explosive teams offensively. But the nuggets allowed only 29 first half points while scoring 46 themselves. Didn't let a team that lives off of the three ball get going.


Linas needs to be traded. Seriously, you can only gain something from trading a guy who shows no effort for rebounds and loose balls, travels THREE times, and misses wide open shot after shot.


Also, Nene needs to regain that confidence he had earlier. He's so worried about missed calls by the officials that i feel like he isn't as accertive offensively as he has been.

[QUOTE]While the Northwest Division-leading Denver Nuggets stood pat at the trading deadline, the Chicago Bulls tried to help their playoff chances with two deals to bring back familiar faces.

While they wait for all of their new arrivals, the Bulls will try Friday night at home to cool off the Nuggets, who are searching for a fourth straight win on their season-high eight-game road trip.

Before Thursday

BTW, Melo suffered a bruised knee last game and is listed as probable for tonight's game.

[KRAYZIE]

Nene's a beast tonight! Hasn't missed yet, 8 of 8. Had a sick block on rose and then posterized Tyrus on the other end.



*EDIT*

Nuggets looked good early on, but then fell apart in the 2nd half. Man, they just couldn't match up w/ the Bulls intensity-wise tonight. Tough loss.
