Key Factor <u>The Big Three</u> 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
the big 3 will dominate..it should be a fun game to watch..but I dont think nene got nothin on garnett..and sprewell and cassel will do their thing as usual...wolves by 12+.
I don't believe Nene can surpass Garnett in much of anything. The Big Three will definitely dominate here, Hudson will undoubtly play some great spark off the bench. Sorry to say, my team will dominate them. A very slight chance of victory. Timberwovles by at least 10.
If Carmelo and Andre can get the best of Cassell and Sprewell, then the Nuggets can win this game. Both of have been playing well for the Nuggets lately, as has Cassell. Sprewell, however, had a "night off" yesterday against the Suns, who the Wolves had a hard time finishing off at home. I'm gonna take the Nuggets by 4.
Timberwolves will dominate the Nuggets in this one. But I do have the Admit the Nuggets will put up a fight. But you never know Earl Boykins and Carmelo might blow up. Wolves by 5.
The Nuggets played well to keep up with the Wolves, but they did let it slip away. Andre Miller had a triple double, 24 points, 10 rebounds and assists. The Nuggets only had 8 players, but the bench was still productive(40 points).
