New Jersey Nets (20-23) @ Denver Nuggets (22-18) Starters: Nets PG: Jason Kidd SG: Vince Carter SF: Boki Nachbar PF: Mikki Moore C: Jason Collins Starters: Nuggets PG: Allen Iverson SG: Steve Blake SF: Carmelo Anthony PF: Reggie Evans C: Marcus Camby The Nets will look to bounce back after three straight 1 point losses and beat Denver's super-scorer duo of 'Melo and AI. The Nuggets are only 12-10 at home this season and are coming off a tough loss to Utah. I think the Nets will be able to use their anger and determination to bounce back after 3 heartbreaking losses and beat the Nuggets. Prediction: Nets +4 Sorry for the short preview, but I didn't have much time today and it's 12:20 AM right now in Israel....On the bright side, my internet is fixed (for now).
If we lose this game, that would make the team really feel like crap and make Thorn question Lawrence Frank.
This is going to be a tough game for us, and im not sure we can win. You got three players who can light it up in Jr Ai and Melo. They also who have Camby who is a beast he blocks everything and grabs any board thats near him and steve blake is good decision maker and can knock down the three this could be a long day. If we get Camby in foul trouble then we have a chance.
Nuggets are just too much to handle. Anthony is bad enough, but when you have Iverson on the court, and Camby crashing the boards. Not to mention they have JR Smith coming off the bench. I miss Jazzy Jeff already.
<div class="quote_poster">fitch4delk00 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">DJ Jazzy Jeff?</div> Yeah, but why would we miss him? What does he have to do with the Nets? Melo is owning us already.
Nachbar has impressed me lately with his shooting, i was wondering why he was getting so much playing time when he shoots so many times and misses like a starter but now hes found a grove and proving to me that Frank has made a smart move. Lets hope he continues his strong play
Keep this going second quarter looking much better. I too miss Jefferson, a lot. Revisions of the 04-05 season
Nachbar with 14 points of the bench and Williams with 11. VC has 12. Melo has 17. We are down by 1 at the half and went on a roll in the second quarter.

Out of all the games on the West Coast trip, who would think we would win this on? Carter was really playing great today. When he drives in and draws fouls, he has the outmost respect from me. That's what we need from him and that's how we win games. Nachbar was amazing. He gave us another lift off the bench with his hot shooting. When we needed a three pointer, he delivered. Let's just hope he can keep it up for a while. The Nets really bothered Carmelo, and a lot of credited should be given to Wright. He played smart on defense, and kept Carmelo from getting hot. Kidd 18 pts 12 rebs 4 asts Carter 40 pts 7 rebs 7 asts Wright 11 pts 4 asts Nachbar 22 pts 6 rebs House 7 pts Williams 11 pts Source
