ran out of gas because they coach plays 8 players since nov
and it is only feb
Well, Utah has point guards who don't have broken jumpshots and a big man with range, in addition to a coach who doesn't tolerate softies like Pop does.
I'd rather play San Antonio than Utah as well, although I'd rather play Phoenix than either of them.
who knows
nuggets have not been healthy with ai,melo, smith and camby yet
if healthy I think they can beat mavs
Utah is not getting out of the 2nd round if that. This is a team that has not made the playoffs in a few years. They can't seem to stay healthy. I think people are overrating them in thier expecations for the playoffs.Well !Still, the intent remains... I'll be pulling for the Spurs the rest of the way out. I need them to overtake Utah now that Phoenix has pretty much falling off the pace for best overall record.
I'll be rooting for those teams to stay in the 7th and 8th spots...especially the Clippers, their road record is atrocious.
Be careful what you wish for. The Bulls are not beating the Suns in a seven game series. Of course you can hope that Nash sits out a few games.
their road record sucks but that is because of sam cassel not playing
clippers will be easier then nuggets
but both team records will not indict how tough they are
Suns should probably not let their opponents score so damned much. The numbers they're allowing is just ridiculous.
Yeah but the Nuggets really have not been that impressive. I think their record is barely or below .500.
yeah melo missed 15 games
then they got ai and he played 3 of those games that melo was out
and now ai and camby are hurt
IF HEALTHY THEY WOULD BE A TEAM I WOULD NOT WANT IN THE FIRST ROUND
i think the nuggets may play better when everyone's on board, just not that much better...as for cassell, it's hard to tell...i remember when the bucks were in the playoffs a couple of years ago, he was basically a no-show the entire series...he could be effective but it's 50-50 and i don't think he'll keep up with devin harris, just a matter of younger, faster legs
The Nuggs are an unknown quan y at the moment. Heck even ESPN put an 'undecided' grade next to them. They have dealt with the suspensions, injury after injury and trades.
This has resulted in constant lineup changes, 15 games without their superstar and of course lack of time for AI to get used to the normal Nuggets lineup.
AI and Melo have only had 5 or 6 games together and thats not enough to see how it will work out in the long run.
I'm looking ahead to next year for them coz it will give them enough time to gel and a training camp will help the team. I'm not expecting too much this postseason but i also wouldnt be suprised to see them upset any team.
how many mavs fans will commit suicide if the mavs lose in the first round?
Doesn't mean they are going to win the West all of a sudden. They could not even hold on to a good lead and beat a Nashless Suns team. If they draw the Suns in the 1st round they won't get past them. The Nuggets also run but no one does the running game better then Phoenix. Don't give me the Nuggets play defense nonsense. The Nuggets are deadlast in the NBA in points allowed.
they also were with ai and camby that game

game hurt much tonight? that's alright you can take it out on us, i'm happy about today's games...typical fillmoe, ing about the suns/mavs fans and then coming in and talking just like everyone else.
I am happy with today's games except Suns/Bulls.
clippers are trying to save sam for the playoffs this year
livingston has been not so good this year
I am not saying denver will win it all
but they could upset a team in the first round
I think if healthy they can beat the mavs
you do realise AI AND Camby didnt play against the Suns, right?
Camby averaged 17.7/14.0/2.33 vs the Suns last year. He is a HUGE factor when those teams face. I guarantee Barbosa would not have had easy layups in the 4th if Camby was patrolling the paint
I don't know about the Mavs but stranger things have happen.
the last 5 games hurt more than todays..... i wish we could repeat todays game for the rest of the season.... then next year we would be a beast to with........
oh, and you know there is no such thing as a 'huge' lead vs the Suns. Any double digit lead can be wittled away quickly once the Suns start rolling, and thats exactly what they did vs the Nuggets and their horrible D
Camby was sorely missed
lol, you're too crazy!
if the nugz are healthy and they end up playing the mavs i guarantee the mavs dont make it out of the first round
