    47-53. Down 6. Let's hope Joel is ready in the 2nd half, and hopefully Oden stays out of foul trouble because we're getting dominated on the boards 26 to 14.

    Nuggetts are outplaying us in every category.

    Blake and Roy combined for 1 assist in the half.

    Billups has 5, Sergio 3.

    The word is out on Oden. Go at him and he'll foul you. It really sucks.

    Nene is not better because of Billips. He is just plain healthy. he is going one on one. The Ike experiment needs to end quickly. he hustles, but that is it.

    When we shoot like this against the Nuggs, they are going to run the ball down our throats all night.

    Time to post up and send Roy to the hoop. If not, we'll get out asses kicked by a team w/o their superstar.

    The frustrating part is half the time Greg is inside the circle and the offensive player is just running right in to him and forcing the foul. His only optiion is to get out of the way or don't hang out in under the basket. The rule needs to be tweaked.

    Which team looks like they're playing their third game in four nights?

    That's hardly news. Foul trouble was the primary concern for him before the season even started.

    Everyone said that Greg would be this great defensive big man. I'm not seeing it. He looks extremely raw. He still might end up a great player, but he has a long way to go.

    Um, look more closely. He already is a great defensive player. Check how much better our defensive stats are this year compared to last. Defense doesn't always show up individually.

    People were saying Billups has made Nene, which I don't find to be true

    Just think how much worse it would be if Melo was healthy. Denver is not a good matchup for us at all
