Nuggests @ Blazers Game Thread 2/25/11

[OneSport3]

Watching this Nuggets team against the Celtics and they're not going to be an easy out tomorrow. They might not have Melo and Billups, but they still have a lot of talent; a lot of offensive firepower.

Tomorrow's game will be huge in the playoff picture. I think it'll be a battle with Denver down the stretch for the playoffs.

 

[maxiep]

Hopefully we get Camby back, because they're going to POUND us inside tomorrow.

I don't think Camby will be back yet.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Wait, the Nuggets who have 36 points as of the third quarter have plenty of firepower?

They're playing against the Celtics D. They scored 120 on the Grizz on Tuesday without the New York players.

 

[Nikolokolus]

On the flipside I guess you could say Denver's 'D' just got a whole lot better because Boston only has 52 points with 3 minutes left in the third.

 

[THE HCP]

Hopefully they'll be tired!

Our first extended look at Luke Babbitt!!! (I think there's a good chance Crash doesn't play)

I'm actually kind of excited....seriously.

We have a good chance of getting kicked if that's the case though.

 

[THE HCP]

Ya, I don't think he plays. If we didn't have to wait for the guys in Charlotte to take physicals, maybe.

 

[jlprk]

Of our 11 players, will Camby, Roy, Mills, Babbitt, and Johnson contribute much tonight? If not, that leaves 6 players, including only 3 players over 6 foot 5.

C
Marcus Camby

PF
LaMarcus Aldridge
Luke Babbitt

SF
Nicolas Batum
Gerald Wallace

SG
Wesley Matthews
Rudy Fernandez
Brandon Roy

PG
Andre Miller
Patrick Mills
Armon Johnson

Out for the season
Greg Oden
Elliott Williams

 

[B-Roy]

HCP, do you know if Marcus will play?

If not...this is who we have playing PF/C tomorrow:

LaMarcus

...crickets

Seriously?

 

[THE HCP]

I honestly don't think he plays, but I have no info on it, just a feeling.

You are so right...even if G Force does play, we'll see a lot of Babbitt.

The Blazers may play like heroes, but the Nuggets feel the same way, one game after losing Anthony. We won't catch them overconfident in this situation.

Babbitt in a blowout. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[THE HCP]

Anybody else remember in that same game Wallace dunked on Greg................ LA and him squared off in a fight!

 

[MIXUM]

this denver team is scary. they are built like a team that ALWAYS gives us trouble. bunch of wings who can shoot the 3. we never play well vs these teams. denver looked really good vs the celtics as well. no way we win tonight.

Yikes. Well, we'll have the best player on the court (by a pretty wide margin). But man, that's a tiny team. When Aldridge sits we'll have to run Batum or Babbit at center.

 

[MIXUM]

AMAZINGLY VEGAS HAS BLAZERS FAVORED BY 6??? WTF?????????

I know it's you Mixum, but i couldn't help but chuckle at this part. Are you this pessimistic in other areas of your life?

 

[maxiep]

We have a tough test tonight. Usually if you're undersized, you want to run. Well, the Thuggets prefer to run. But if we slow down the game, they can use their size.

And this is a BIG FUCKING GAME in case no one noticed the standings.

 

[MIXUM]

really bad time to make a trade in a almost must win situation

NOW HE COMPLAINS WHEN WE MAKE A TRADE!!!!

 

[B-Roy]

I think Aldridge has a realistic chance of playing all 48 tonight if Camby doesn't suit up.

 

[maxiep]

I think Aldridge has a realistic chance of playing all 48 tonight if Camby doesn't suit up.

If he's not in foul trouble, I think that's the plan. And my fear is Karl will run at Aldridge to get him into foul trouble.

 

[THE HCP]

Look who's here!

 

[MIXUM]

[illmatic99]

[B-Roy]

[THE HCP]
