    Nice. Two whole days of rest and the Rockets come out with NO intensity. This is just disgusting to watch.

    A little cockiness on our part... I don't think they really respect Denver, especially now that they've lost Camby.

    Even still, I think they're under the assumption that this is the same Nuggets team they blew out in Denver way back in January.... its not you guys.

    Sura just fainted as he went to the bench with his 3rd foul. :mad:

    They're just walking the ball up the court and setting up the November/December half court offense. this will be a 20-30 pt loss at this rate.

    Clarence's inability to hit one of those open shots Denver was giving him really hurt the fluidity of our offense.

    Agreed... JVG yanked him rather early... we just have to hope it doesn't cost us too much on defense (which is the real reason why weatherspoon plays so much).

    Exactly, sit him next to Vin Baker and leave him there until garbage time.

    Wasn't that VB in street clothes sitting next to Juwan? When did he go on IL and who did they activate to replace him?

    15 free throws for Denver
    2 free throws for us.

    Are the refs TRYING to let Denver win?

    This is only the first quarter. I still think we could beat them, by 1. :p

    You need to watch the game... the refs only made one questionable call, and that was on a Scott Padgett loose ball foul rebound that could have been 50/50.

    We tend to foul a lot because we challenge every shot that the opposing team tries to take to the rack... whereas on the other end, we try for the best shot possible (which most of the time doesn't mean driving into the lane w/ reckless abandon).

    Gotcha...

    Yeah, I can't watch the game tonight. Anytime I see that big of a difference in FT shooting in the box score, it raises question marks in my head.

    So are you suggesting we DON'T challenge every shot?

    Someone remind Brent Mussburger not to forget to mention for the 10th time that Denver is on the second night of a back-to-back and that Camby is out.

    NA-ne looks good out there too. Sacramento should drop with PA-ja getting injured. Buffoon.

    As we all know except for Tinman, not having Juwan is huge. Point production at the 4 has been horrible since he went on DL. I haven't looked it up but I bet it is down by at least 5 ppg.

    I cant watch the game but by following the stats I think I calculated that Sura gave up 8 pts to Denver with his fouls, turnovers and missed freethrows..:mad:

    My bad... I meant we challenege every shot HARD... actively going for the block... whereas other teams will let guys get open layups and dunks once they get past their man in the paint.

    We're all about help defense, not allowing cheap easy points, and playing with intensity.

    Whoa McGrady drew 3 fouls in like 20 seconds. Taking 2 FTs now. Just watching him, he's such a quick player, much less for someone his size.
    It's pretty amazing how much of a talent he is.

    Great Mutombo just got fouled. Looks like the refs are trying to even the FT disparity in the 1st quarter. Pretty damn amazing how the Nuggs have taken over 13 FTs in just the 1st quarter.
