    Key Matchup

    <u>Kevin Garnett vs. Nene</u>

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    There are alot of tough matchups tonight for the Nuggets, but Nene will have a long night up against the MVP, Kevin Garnett.

    Key Factor

    <u>The Big Three</u>

    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    The big three or MV3, whatever you want to call them, they WILL hurt you.

    Jump's Prediction

    Minnesota will be too much. Denver need to get back on track after a good half to the season, but it will not happen here in my opinion.

    Wolves by 10

    ps. Didnt look like anyone was going to do a preview...

    It was a great game. It came down to the wire. I'm so glad Sprewell knew when to go for the tip, he made up for a mediocre performance with that tip in. It was very fun to watch, Nuggets were a good opponent for us. Who knows, we might meet in the playoffs.

    This was truly clutch indeed, it was pure team against pure team. It was great chemistry against great chemistry. Probably one of the better games and matchups to watch out for in the future. Especially once the Nuggets become contenders.
