We have 3 days off. A chance for our boys to get some rest, a little practice in. We haven't played well there recently, but I think we can do it.
 
unfortunately I think Denver might be a little better than us this season.
 
Anything is possible, and hell Greg even looked like a credible low post threat before foul trouble took him out of the game, hopefully he can carry that over.

this is true, I was pretty stoked when he had those quick 6 points to begin the game, wish he would have been on the floor longer.
 
We beat them last year in Denver behind Channing's career game. As much as I would love to take 2 from them, I think it'll be a split unfortunately too.
Chauncey's really made a big difference for them.
 
We simply must win both. It's competitive as hell to make the playoffs and Denver is one of the teams we're competing against. Win both and we're 19-10 and they're, potentially, 17-12 (if they lose to Cleveland and Phoenix). That's exactly where I want our team going into Christmas.

Why do you say this? They have played a much easier schedule than us and they're only 17-8 to our 17-10. They play Cleveland and Phoenix next. They'll lose at least one of those games, possibly both. They're not better than us. Check us out next week.
 
LaMarcus, Greg and Joel need to dominate Denver's big men, Nene, K-Mart and Chris Andersen. Nicolas and Travis will also have to come up big against Carmelo.
Looking at the Thuggets' schedule, they're at home an awful lot through January. But February on, they're living out of suitcases until the end of the year.

They have a better starting lineup this year. We do have a better bench though, but I think starting lineups are more important.
 
End of the season is a tough time to play a bunch of road games. I'm glad we got the hard part of our schedule out of the way early!
 
Three days rest is a bad thing. Too much time to think.

Well, I've stayed home this entire week (snow, y'know) and gotten a lot of rest. And I did a lot of thinking. And what I decided was, aaaaaagh, my brain, my brain is melllllllllting! Noooooooooo!

Yeah, its cold down here in so cal...35 degrees 2 miles from the beach!

(I was gonna make a joke how 50 degrees is cold down here but damn I just checked weather.com!)
 
Tend to agree on this...1-2 days gives you the best chance IMO in regards to days off

I think that the 3 day rest will help us overall because its back to back games we have against them, so we'll have a pretty good chance in Denver mostly since they will be tired playing their 4th game in 5 nights.
