    I think he just missed the Warriors game(go figure). He was back in their last game.

    Should be an interesting matchup, our frontcourt versus theirs. Davis has been destroying his man, but he and Asik haven't exactly shut down the lane like everyone thought they would. Dwight against Asik will be fun to watch. But someone needs to chase Ryan Anderson off the line.

    Harden just needs to keep doing what he does: drawing fouls on everyone, hopefully including Davis. Bev has taken Holiday's soul before. I swear, he must have nightmares about Bev's D. There's no one for Ariza to guard, so hopefully he has the energy to break out of his shooting slump.

    The only one that can chase Ryan Anderson off the line is Ariza. That is another tough assignment for him.

    So again, why didn't we get the earlier slot on ESPN since we play a back-to-back and the other ESPN match-up nor the Nuggets did not :confused:

    Because the East Coast is an hour ahead. Those are the teams that typically get the early games. If two East Coast teams are playing, you can't have their game start at 10:30 EST.

    The NBA requires a certain amount of time between games. The extra :30 gets this game to that amount of time.

    The East Coast is an hour ahead of us here in Texas. But it's 2 hours ahead of Denver, and 3 hours ahead of the West Coast.

    So when a team like Toronto is playing a game at 7:00, it's only 4:00 in the afternoon in Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, Portland, etc.

    This'll be a tough one after the Denver altitude. They're gonna be very tired, but the Pelicans aren't too good. Should be a close one but we can win it.

    We're a different team with Dwight on the floor. That 20-2 rating should only apply to our team without Dwight. With him I'm hoping for some paging closer to 8-1.

    We have to win this to make their draft pick more important. DMO and the Jet will have good games.
