WOW. That can easily change the game here with their biggest star missing.
always tough to lose someone during the holidays.
wow, last 4 games we had denver with no billups, memphis with rudy gay suspended, phoenix without all the new acquisitions, and now denver again without melo!
Condolences to his family.
No excuses now.
That is tough news to hear around christmas time :(
Sucks for him and his family.
If the Spurs win, don't expect to get any real credit for it from other fans or the media because the Spurs beat the Nuggets w/out Melo. Just saying. Oh well. I'll take the W either way.
They beat them a week ago with him. I dont expect for them get none anyway.Quote:

Sad for Melo, too. That's awful, especially so close to Christmas.
Perfect opportunity for the Spurs to have a let down and the Nuggets to step it up.
I'm so waiting for this to happen.Quote:

each time team's miss one of their stars they give us a WAY harder time :depressed.
I'm expecting a loss or a tight one now...
bad news for him. As to beating Spurs w/o Carmelo, if that happens, let us be honest: other teams have enjoyed similar "lucky" breaks so there is no reason to be ashamed (I should not use the word "lucky" considering the circumstances but I do not know what else to write, sorry)
condolences.......
Should be an easy win then. Trap game blah blah blah. There are much less trap games when you have an awesome record (want to keep it), are in a neck and neck race with the Mavs for 1st seed, and have young hungry talent like Neal.
Orl tomorrow will probably be a loss.
time for another nameless role player to have a career night against the spurs.
Nah. They are still integrating. They look pretty bad right now. However, all the more reason to put the Thugs away early.Quote:

Oh man. Bad news. :(
:( hope melo and family can get through the tough time.
that sucks :(
wish the best for him and fam
My prayers go to his family.
Always sad to lose a loved one. I know from experience just how hard that can be at Christmas. I feel for Carmelo.
Sucks for Melo :depressed Times like these put everything into perspective
Congrats on the win tonight. I really thought the Nuggets had a chance to win a revenge game (they are good at winning those), but no chance without Melo
trap game
I just said it, we generally have a better chance of losing a game when one of the main stars are out on the team we play. :depressedQuote:

agreed...Cannot remember how many losses have come for the spurs when the opposing team is short handed over the years, hopefully tonight will be different. On a bigger note, I hope all the best for anthony and his faimly.Quote:

what's with the no confidence glass half-empty the sky is falling mofos up in here????
we gonna rape those bitches. show some backbone
and RIP Melo's family
Carmelo Excused Following Death In Family
Dec 22, 2010 2:10 PM EST
Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony has been excused from Wednesday night's game in San Antonio due to a death in his family.
"Our entire organization supports Carmelo during this difficult time for him and his family," Nuggets executive vice president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri said. "It is heartbreaking news, particularly during the holiday season."

We keep catching huge breaks against teams, but every win we can get now will help later when shit gets really tough... and you know it will.
Spurs with mad luck when it comes to other team's star players.
So in other words, we will be facing the new age Nuggets?
dammit, finally going to a game for the first time in ages, wanted to see Melo in full beast mode tonight. This now has trap game written all over it.
imo it will be even harder to beat them now. We have to be ready. The nuggets will play even harder without him.
Spurs catching some massive breaks. This could be huge if the Spurs capitalize and allow the Big Three to rest in the 4th quarter in getting ready for what promises to be a tough game in Orlando tomorrow. Orlando will be ready and rested...and ready to win after a few losses.Quote:

I don't really care what other fans or the media say. I just watch the win column increment. :smokinQuote:

Hopefully we can start strong and rest the starters for tommorows game against the NEW Magic.
:downspin::downspin:
Sorry for Carmelos lost. I just lost my uncle three days ago so I know the feeling. I still hope the spurs win though.Quote:

If Pop tries too much to rest Timmy and Manu for tomorrow's game (as he already did on 1st game of a b2b) or if our 3 shot is off for example (2 "realistic" possibilities)...
I really don't see this game as an easyone...
No disrespect to the dead, but I wanted to see Melo play tonight since I got tickets. :depressed
Forget the game for a second.
My prayers to his family :(
No melo no loss
His sister?
Damn that sucks
