In a battle of Denver vs. Dallas I'd have to think long and hard because Denver is a physical bunch. And the Mavs ... well, they are the Mavs.

nuff said!

Denver has the potential to be very tough. I believe they can give any team a run for their money.

Denver is now doomed.

I like Denver's deadline move in general, though they only weakened their outside shooting.

[ShoogarBear]

I don't want to play Denver because you know Earl Boykins is gonna piss us all off and win one game by himself.

[Kori Ellis]

generally yes. Both are expected back come April. Amare should come back first though.

It's no-no from Nene. No to the regular season. No to the playoffs. Nene, a Denver Nuggets big man who suffered a torn right anterior cruciate ligament in the Nov. 1 opener, said Monday he does not plan to return this season, even if the team makes a deep playoff run.

[Extra Stout]

As it stands now, the Nuggets are still 1/2 game behind the Grizzlies, so even though Denver is the #3 seed, they start out on the road in the first round.

I don't see how that cons utes a "problem" for the Spurs.

Was that actually possible?

They are a very physical bunch now with Patterson and Evans added to the mix, but for a team that appears to have an okay defensive presence, the Nuggets still don't seem to be all that interested in playing much defense.

They can't seem to keep their players healthy and on the court either.

I've thought for some time now that Denver is the team that is left out of all the playoff talk, and you have to wonder why.

Now to say they are ready to make a Championship run would be an overstatement, but I do believe they could pose some problems and take any series to 6 games.

[kskonn]

I think Dnever can wear a team down with their physical presense during a playoff series, can they win? I just don't think they are consistent enough yet. But be a "problem" or a thorn in someones side, for sure.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

The only reason they worry me is that Carmelo Anthony has really come into his own this year, and could be poised to have a real break out showing in the playoffs, and of course Boykins can be a nightmare on any given night. Add to that they know how to play that they have the personnel to play a grinding, physical style of basketball, which is a must in the playoffs. So I could see them making it to the second round, even if they have to go on the road to do it, but I don't think they are ready to challenge the Spurs. They don't have enough outside shooting, and Karl seems to have trouble getting consistent effort out of that team.
