    Camby, Martin, Iverson are very good defenders, and Anthony's offense more than makes up for his defense. Id say the Nuggets main problem up until now has been chemistry, but they have potential to be much better than their record shows (like the Rockets). They have a very solid 9 man rotation any way you want to look at it:

    Iverson, Anthony, Martin, Camby, Nene, Carter, Najera, Smith, Kleiza

    I expect Utah and New Orleans to both pull out those wins. Golden State should be really focused against the Kings, after losing on their home court to the Bulls(without Luol Deng, Kirk Hinrich, and Ben Gordon).

    Indiana beat Portland they finally coming down to the earth. I actually think if the Kings don't trade Artest and/or Bibby they will finish with a better record.

    Next game is against Portland. It will give us the tiebreaker against them. Tiebreakers are going to be very important, since the Blazers could end up with the same record.

    another post talking about how poor denvers D is... :rolleyes:
    they are at worst, an average defensive team.

    sheesh... arent they something like top 5 in points allowed per possession? their D isnt that bad.

    and we did beat them when they were on the 2nd of a back to back, and we were at home and they were missing quite a few good players. just being fair.

    The Kings are giving this game to Golden State. They are having a 4th quarter meltdown.

    I'm impressed with GSW. I hate to say it, but they are really clutch. How many wins do they have trailing the 4th Q? I think they are number 1 in the NBA in that department. I think the playoff run last year did wonders for their confidence at pulling out close games. We might as well look to Denver to fall now, I don't think the Warriors are going down...

    I like al the optimism about saying the Rockets will make it out of the first round.

    First lets recognize that we have a 0.600 winning percentage and we are still 9th place.
    Lets cheer the Rockets and hope they make the playoffs first and then talk about whose ass their going to kick. If we steal the 7th or 8th spot we will likely face the Hornets or Suns.

    my pyshic reader told me the rockets will win a championship this year. With all that said and done. Can someone give me a website to any casino sports betting online? Can i still make a bet now that the odds are against them or is it too late?

    Keys games today:

    Denver At Cleveland
    Cavaliers are at home and they can win vs them. If Nuggets loses, we will be tie with them and that s good. GOOOOO CAVALIERSSSSSSS!!!!
    IMPORTANCE of the game (out of 10) : 10

    Spurs At Celtics
    Celtics are 15-0 vs West, they are at home. If Spurs lose, they will have 17 lose !!! Bad news: Garnett wont play once again.
    IMPORTANCE of the game (out of 10): 6
