    Let's hope they lose their next game. ;)

    Lol that would be nice

    Good thing it's a b2b. Camby really needs to play this game. Hopefully Wallace can get cleared as well although that's probably a long shot at best

    Hopefully, the Nuggets will get in later than usual because of the snow. At least, it was a TNT game tonight. Maybe they'll get to their hotel rooms around 3. :lol:

    And I definitely wanna see Camby and Wallace tomorrow. That would be some sweet D and maybe we can finally dominate on the boards.

    Chosen 1 said Wallace was gonna leave on the 6am flight in the morning to PDX. I don't think him getting to PDX is an issue. It remains to be seen if Joel and Dante can get to CHA in time and pass their physicals.

    These don't look like yer daddy's Nuggets ... Funny how removing a ball-stopper (even a supremely talented ball-stopper) can change things.

    Teams usually band together after a significant move like this.

    I don't expect them to be a better team overall though. They'll start regressing later.

    Yea, but ballstoppers Kobe, MJ, Wade won 12 of the last 20 championships.

    I think the new-look Nuggets haven't been scouted yet, so that might have contributed to their wins. With 2 games played now, I hope our coaching staff can find some solution to stop them.

    Joel's physical will take 3min because they'll want his contract and then you just need DC and Marks to clear.

    It'd be really nice to have Crash tomorrow. Denver has a lot of depth.

    Well, for the Blazers, it's meant going from a 50-win team to a 40ish-win team.

    Marks is waived. Do they still need to do a physical if they waive him?

    Each of those guys also plays either great or above average defense ...

    Duncan is a ballstopper as well in the post with his fakes, drives, and bank shots. 16 out of 20, IMO, plus Shaq was a ballstopper as well for the Kobe/Wade titles.

    I don't think so. But they might not waive Joel, so they could possibly be interested in a legit physical. (Kwame is their only current C )

    I didn't know they waived him so probably not.

    And they are still ballstoppers, which is what you were talking about.

    They'll probably just ask Joel if he's alive and when he answers they'll clear him. They just want his contract to save money and maybe some spot minutes at best.

    Kwame Brown only plays 8 minutes a night, regardless of how many real minutes he is on the floor.

    The Thuggets have been playing under the sword of Damocles all season. It fell, but it turned out it was made of papier mache. The old Knicks have some chemistry together and the remaining Thuggets have something to prove. Karl is also one hell of a coach.

    Man, we really need to get on Charlotte to pass our players' physicals. We need Wallace tonight.
