    We want a close game with the Kings getting the win. A blowout in either direction means the Nugs starters get to rest.

    Kings up big early.

    I think Kings will hold a lead, but Nugs will waste a lot of energy trying to get back into it, either way we're evenly matched tommorow.

    Lets hope Anthony doesn't listen to his coach again.

    I think were a lot better team than the Nuggets. Dont even know why I think that, but they dont scare me. Utah on the road is the only team I dont like our chances against. Not even La scares me.

    I'm happy they have a b2b also.

    But i'm afraid if the Nuggets lose they will be more motivated knowing losing 2 in a row could hurt them, so them winning isn't bad.

    btw, no one on the Rox played more than 33 minutes, and it wasn't a very physically excruciating game either, so Rockets must take care of business.

    I can see your point but since the playoff race in the Western Conf. is so tight, it's a big advantage for us if Denver losses. If they lose today and even if we lose to them tomorrow, we would still be tied with them in the standings.

    I hope the refs don't allow Chris Anderson to lean on Yao like he was last game.

    I'll take a loss though for sure.

    I'm just saying, them winning isn't bad. Teams after winning games (especially Karl-coached teams) can get over confident...even though they should get no confidence in beating the Kings.

    Either way...we gotta keep on winning because of our schedule. A split between Lakers and Nugs would be nice...a 2-0 sweep would be fantastic.

    Even with such stalwarts as Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes in their starting lineup?

    No way the Kings hold on to this halftime lead. They have been very uninspiring lately. At some point in the 2nd half, they will crumble. Once the Nuggets get the lead, the Kings player will quit.

    Excellent the back to back is fair for both teams tomorrow. Nene needs to get tired out there so he won't out-run Yao throughout the game tomorrow.

    Go Kings.

    It's better for us because they are not playing at home today lol, our team might get in before theirs.

    Hmm...I wondering if the Kings got Blake Griffin...I mean Griffin and Martin would be dangerous...if Griffin turns out to be a good NBA player.

    why does Melo always smile even when his team is down?

    its a horrible trait to have, McGrady does it too.

    Because he cares more about his stats than he does winning. He really doesn't even try that hard in the NBA. I've noticed that he tries and hustles way more in International ball than he does in the NBA.
