    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
