What do you all think, about how the Denver Nuggets will do after the all star break?With like 31 games left I think they will go 20-11 to finish the season. 9 games over .500 after the break would put them at 10 games over .500. I think they can do better, but they need time to gel playing all together for some period of time with no injurys.
I think they will do better, I like your prediction, I think it will be somewhere around there if AI, Camby, Nene, or someone else doesn't get hurt.

Then AI get's hurt plays a game, and is back hurt due to being back to soon. During that Camby was hurt again. Melo a little banged up, and even Blake had to get stitches.But Nene been playing better.I think a line-up ofG - BlakeSG - IversonSF - MeloPF - NeneC - CambyShould deff be better then they have been. They will be fine I am guessing they will make the 2nd round of the playoffs if they can make a big run to some how get seat 4, or 5. Cause if they stay that low of a seat it be very hard to beat one of those top 3 teams even though they can they probably won't in a 7 game series if they play the top 3 teams.And they should go all out trying to get JO, or Pau. They did ask about JO I sure hope they keep pushing for him that be crazy if Denver got him. And even Jason Kidd D would help a lot. And then Melo+AI would deff get = shots even though I still think they will.
20-11? I'll give you credit for being optimistic, but when I look at the schedule... things don't look too goodenver plays 18 of their remaining 31 games on the road, including 13 of their final 18, and most of them are against quality opponents (they play 22 games against teams currently in the playoffs or fighting for the final spot). Denver also has one of the toughest schedules remaining in the league, if not the toughest.They will make the playoffs, but it won't be easy... the suspensions and injuries are absolutely devestating to them in hindsight, because they couldn't really take care of business at home through all that (for the most part).They have an uphill battle... that's for sure.

Not saying that will make them win every single game, but it will help. If AI and Camby are healthy along with the rest of the team I think we can get somewhere around there.Yes it is going to be tough, but this team is a top 5 WC team, I think we can at least go 17-14.

They are better on the road that's for one. And you are looking at the injurys and stuff. If they are healthy AI+Camby then Nene plays like he has been latly then they can even do better if Nene plays like he has been and AI+Camby are healthy.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Camby23Land @ Feb 16 2007, 02:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>It is a little optimistic, but so far this year we have played better on the road than at home.

And they will get you have no idea how much better when AI+Camby+Melo actually play together for more then a few games. This team is 4th best in the league when healthy behind Dallas, Suns, and Spurs. And really I have not see much from the Spurs this season I thought they be better it's like they are a sleep.
