Only way thats happening is if they move up to there the 3rd spot...and even if they do that..that gotta play the Suns...which bascially plays the samegame as the Nuggets...only they do it better... Tomorrows game will be interesting...
 
The Nuggets are better than the Suns because we CAN play defense.

We're gonna get that 3rd seed too. Watch.

Anyway... anyone got a link? I can't do this audio @$@@. It's irritating

have they played the suns yet? i think they match up well w/ them, but the question for the nuggets is on the defensive end
 
^Tomorrow man...

That's why we need to blow these N's out EARLY tonight and let all the starters hit the bench

No The Denver Nuggets do not play defense.. Camby plays defense, Iverson the passing lanes well, and maybe Anthony Carter individually.. But, your teamdefense is horrid.. Thats the Nuggs, biggest problem.. You fix that and you guys are straight.. And, Y'all are not going to have a better record than theSuns..But, that 3rd seed doesn't look all to far-fetched.. Unless Portland miraculously catches you guys..

Actually, we do play defense.. its just not consistent. When we do play defense, we have shown that we can be excellent. We just don't do itnearly enough as we need to, to dominate. The game against the Spurs is evidence. The old Nuggets could not have won a grind it out, defensive battle withthe Spurs. To be honest, as of late, we've been better defensively than on offense.... but if you aren't a Nuggets fan you can't really beexpected to know it. Afterall, we do lead the NBA in blocks and steals per game.

And regarldess, the point was made to say that we are CAPABLE of playing defense. The Pheonix Suns will never be able to.
 
This might sound a bit farfetched, but it kinda appears as though the Nuggets are shaping into a team reminiscient of A.I.'s contending Sixers. There are anumber of guys who CAN play defense (i.e. Najera, Camby, K-Mart, Carter, even Melo at times) and you have A.I. who seems to be taking the reigns as number 1option for long stretches of the game. Once the defense becomes a staple, well..............
 
your team defense is horrid.
Not really. The defense this year has been average so far. The problem is that we just dont to bring it on a game in and game out bases. Somegames, we will play sloppy D in the 1st half and play excellent D in the 2nd half.
 
TEAM FIRE GEORGE KARL

but seriously is the guy really that bad of a coach?..... Doesn't he preach defense? IMO any other first round match up besides theSpurs for last season's Nuggets and they would've advanced past the 1st round.....
 
Nice little run to end the half.

It's just kind of frustrating that the Sixers are coming together, but they really need to have a poor season to get that one big draft pick, because thissquad isn't going to go anywhere if they get the 8th seed.

A big draft pick and solid free agent signing along with the young core they currently have (Iguodala, Louie, Thad, Smith - I'm assuming Andre Miller willbe gone, and I can only hope Stephansky can find a way to get rid of Dalembert), I think we could make some real noise in the east for years to come.


As for this year, I hope Iverson finally gets his. I'd say he has three quality years left to get his ring.

Personally, I dont like the way he manages his players. He's real quick to criticize JR to the media for having a bad game but yet and still Chucky Atkinshas been playing like crap lately and still continues to get minutes. Its obvious the Atkins is not close to 100% so why have him on the floor instead of JR orDiawara(for defensive purposes only)?
 
Nuggets just have to keep taking it one game at a time. Defense has been better as of late but in order to gt out of the first round we have to get better.Diawara and JR need more PT.
