<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Marcus Camby has a message for the Phoenix Suns: Just wait until the playoffs. During the past two seasons, Camby's Denver Nuggets are 1-7 against the Suns, including 0-4 in Phoenix. The latest was a 107-96 road loss Saturday. The teams could meet in the second round of the playoffs. If so, Camby insists Denver's recent struggles will have no bearing. "They seem to have our number in the regular season, but playoff basketball is always different," Camby said. "The intensity goes up and everybody pays attention to details a little more. I would expect things to be a whole lot different come playoff time." Nuggets coach George Karl agrees. "If we have the ability to win the first round, we're going to have the ability to change some things and do well in the second round," he said. "Phoenix gives us problems, but that doesn't mean we can't (overcome them)." Phoenix should be the No. 2 seed and Denver No. 3, which would mean a first-round date with No. 6. The Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis are battling for Nos. 5 and 6, with the Grizzlies having the more favorable remaining schedule. </div> Source
lol, okay Camby. I would like the Clippers to play Denver, they just don't matchup well against the Clips at all.

Maggette is one of the worst guys in defense, so 'Melo would probably take over every game. If K-Mart stays healthy, he might be able to contain Brand (or else defensive maniac Reggie Evans would take over) and Camby could easily stop Kaman. Miller is a pretty good veteran defender to stop Cassell and Mobley is injured.
I don't know about that. Back earlier in the season, the Clippers defeated the Nuggets twice in a row. Besides, the Clippers are on a row, they lose a few games on purpose just to face Denver. Maggette was once called the team's best defender last season, and now the Clippers have deep, solid role players in Quinton Ross, Shaun Livingston, and Vladmir Radmonovic. Maggette is not even one hundred percent yet. When Maggette and Mobley are healthy again, watch out. Then again Denver is on a roll too, but I think the Clippers can take the series.
I suggest he worries about winning his first round before thinking of the Suns. But hey, i hope his mentality is shared amongst his team.

There really is no stopping Brand for sure. And I don't know if you've watched Clippers games lately, but Kaman's not that easy to stop either. I hope they do, but it would be a hell of a series I think. j
