Wilson Chandler return part 2 is suppose to start tonight.

 

[aepps20]

Excellent win tonight.

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Excellent win tonight.

Good to see Wil back out there, didn't expect him to contribute as much as he did.

 

[blazers21ntnp]

#Nuggets G Ty Lawson missed this morning's shootaround because of food poisoning. He's expected to play tonight, however.

I understand Karl calling Javale crazy but lazy? My son is never gonna get that starting job

Aaron J. Lopez ‏@Lopez_Nuggets
MRI confirmed no stress fracture for #Nuggets C @JaValeMcGee34 (tibia). He is questionable for Wednesday vs. Houston.

This is why Mozgov needs to be kept around.

 

[jumpman91023]

I never thought we should get rid of mozgov, I'd rather ship koufus out and give Randolph some more run.

 

[executive76]

Koufus had been solid. At some point Karl has to let McGee loose but it looks like he's the new JR.

Since Mozgov has an expiring contract and a serviceable legit 7ft and getting no burn his name was being thrown around.


Chandler is suppose to be back against HOU. I don't see him being at 100% this season :\

Nuggz need to keep playing hard. This month saved the season

Record wise, outstanding month. 12-3 with wins against the Clippers, Thunder, Lakers & Warriors. Realistically, should've been 14-1--the losses to the T'Wolves & Wizards were easy victories that were blown.

The Wizards game was the low-point of the season, thus far. That was embarrassing to watch, and I wasn't sure the Nuggets would recover from that showing, but they've won 5 straight since.

With the Grizzlies moving Gay, I don't think squeaking into the top half of the playoff bracket is out of question for this team. Just have to handle an Eastern stocked February, since March looks pretty tough.

I agree 100%. Getting Chandler back has really helped the bench and the team seems to be playing with more consistent effort.

Bruh how did that Gallo shot go in?

All good 7 in a row ya bish!

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Can't believe they pulled that one out. I don't think I've ever been so annoyed as I was when Dalembert was going off. That was damn frustrating to witness.

Going to have to bring a better effort against CHI.

 

[executive76]

:x @ these Nugget trade rumors. KG....Rip Hamilton?

Redick would be a nice fit but he's due for a payday...unless it's Randolph/Quincy Miller I don't wanna trade anyone.


Faried the only representative during ASW

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Unless somebody is willing to give up an asset for Mozgov, I don't see any moves being made.

I'm hyped to see Faried in the dunk contest, but I don't see him making it past the 1st round. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen him do anything slightly creative--he just gets up and has power. Hopefully he surprises me. Going to be tough with White, Green, Ross & Bledsoe out there.

 

[executive76]

I agree on Mozgov but I doubt he'll be resigned so they might not want to let him walk for nothing.

He doesn't have big hands that'll be a bigger issue imo. Regardless it should be a damn good contest.

Rubio to Faried :x

 

[aepps20]

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Hoping Ty shows up tonight and doesn't get eaten alive by Kyrie. Should be a good match-up.

 

[finallyfamous]

Enjoy the show

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Enjoy the show

I did.

Longest win streak since 2005.

 

[executive76]

SMH

 

[scotthallwithapick]

Andre Miller....Andre Miller....Andre ******g Miller

 

[executive76]

Trade him.

 

[blazers21ntnp]

I still cannot believe he chucked up that trash... and with 5 seconds left!!! Dude just gave the game away after 63 minutes. Utter disbelief when he started his shot sequence.

If he doesn't want to be here, fine, trade him. But don't allow him to do crap like he did tonight.
