Denver 2-0 since trading Melo

They're playing like a team and like they have something to prove.

Let's hope they lose their next game.

Lol that would be nice

Good thing it's a b2b. Camby really needs to play this game. Hopefully Wallace can get cleared as well although that's probably a long shot at best

Hopefully, the Nuggets will get in later than usual because of the snow. At least, it was a TNT game tonight. Maybe they'll get to their hotel rooms around 3.

And I definitely wanna see Camby and Wallace tomorrow. That would be some sweet D and maybe we can finally dominate on the boards.

Chosen 1 said Wallace was gonna leave on the 6am flight in the morning to PDX. I don't think him getting to PDX is an issue. It remains to be seen if Joel and Dante can get to CHA in time and pass their physicals.

These don't look like yer daddy's Nuggets ... Funny how removing a ball-stopper (even a supremely talented ball-stopper) can change things.

Teams usually band together after a significant move like this.

I don't expect them to be a better team overall though. They'll start regressing later.

Yea, but ballstoppers Kobe, MJ, Wade won 12 of the last 20 championships.

 

[Darkwebs]

I think the new-look Nuggets haven't been scouted yet, so that might have contributed to their wins. With 2 games played now, I hope our coaching staff can find some solution to stop them.

Joel's physical will take 3min because they'll want his contract and then you just need DC and Marks to clear.

It'd be really nice to have Crash tomorrow. Denver has a lot of depth.

Well, for the Blazers, it's meant going from a 50-win team to a 40ish-win team.

Marks is waived. Do they still need to do a physical if they waive him?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Yea, but ballstoppers Kobe, MJ, Wade won 12 of the last 20 championships.

Each of those guys also plays either great or above average defense ...

Duncan is a ballstopper as well in the post with his fakes, drives, and bank shots. 16 out of 20, IMO, plus Shaq was a ballstopper as well for the Kobe/Wade titles.

 

[illmatic99]

I don't think so. But they might not waive Joel, so they could possibly be interested in a legit physical. (Kwame is their only current C )

 

[RoyToy]

I didn't know they waived him so probably not.

 

[KingSpeed]

And they are still ballstoppers, which is what you were talking about.

 

[RoyToy]

They'll probably just ask Joel if he's alive and when he answers they'll clear him. They just want his contract to save money and maybe some spot minutes at best.

They want to play Kwame Brown 48 minutes every night?

barfo

Kwame Brown only plays 8 minutes a night, regardless of how many real minutes he is on the floor.

The Thuggets have been playing under the sword of Damocles all season. It fell, but it turned out it was made of papier mache. The old Knicks have some chemistry together and the remaining Thuggets have something to prove. Karl is also one hell of a coach.

Man, we really need to get on Charlotte to pass our players' physicals. We need Wallace tonight.

 

[maxiep]

Those three are ball dominators, not ball stoppers. Those three could pass as well as any SGs in the game. When the ball went to Melo, the other four players looked to rebound or leak out on defense, because it was unlikely they were getting the ball back.

 

[Nikolokolus]

The Cavs vs. Knicks is very entertaining.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The Knicks are not an intimidating team, even with Carmelo.

Their defense from their frontcourt is butter soft. No shotblocking presence at all.

Cole Aldrich looks a lot like Przybilla, ....the Bucks version. Wow he's bad.

You must be wrong. Single game +/- doesn't lie

Aldrich has much more of a post game than Przybilla's ever had.

What is much more of zero?

 

[B-Roy]

What is much more of zero?

.01 is infinitely times more than 0.

 

[MickZagger]

What is much more of zero?

Watch some tape of him at Kansas. He's not a stiff.

 

[PapaG]

Kevin Love set some sort of record for double-doubles during the past week. his teami is 13-46 after tonight. I doubt they'd have 11 wins without Love dominating games.

 

[PapaG]

Watch some tape of him at Kansas. He's not a stiff.

Przy wasn't a stiff at Minnesota, either. He averaged 14.8 points his sophomore year before going into the draft. Aldrich's high in three years at Kansas was 14.9.
