    I see the Nuggets winning this by 8,Andre Miller has to stop The Mouse,who has been spreading the ball very well in last few games.

    I believe the Nuggets have the overall offensive advantage here. Especially with the way Carmelo has been playing lately, he's really providing for his team very well.

    Miller and Voshon have been playing great as well. Holding their own while leaving the rebounding to Nene and Camby. I say they generally have the full court, all aspect, overall advantage. As much as I like and want the Blazers to win. I think they'll be too much to handle. Close and difficult win though, not an easy win. Nuggets by 9.

    Exactly what Carmelo and Nene did. Melo had 39 points, on 14-22 shooting. I guess he was trying to outduel LeBron when he got 38. And Nene was versatile tonight, finishing with 20, 6, 7.

    Whoa, I knew the Nugges were going to win, but not like that[/b]. Carmelo dropped the big 39, setting a new career high for himself, and topping Bron's 38 against Washington. Miller was one assist away from a double double, and Nene fouled out with 20 points. Camby only played seventeen minutes, though...

    For Portland, Zach Randolph and Darius Miles did well. Randolph dropped a big 28 and 11, and Miles followed him up with 20 and 7. Good job by those two.

    Melo willl be the first to score 40 out of all rookies this year. He actually shot nice also..I think this second half he will take over the ball club and push his average up to 20 a game. Nice game by Nene as well, he is showing major strides this year.
