Nuggets @ Warriors: PREVIEW! Nuggets (10-6) @ Warriors (8-7) Wednesday, Dec. 3 7:30 pm Probable Starters Nick Van Exel/Andre Miller Jason Richardson/Voshon Lenard Mike Dunleavy/Carmelo Anthony Clifford Robinson/Nene Erick Dampier/Marcus Camby Key Match-up Nick Van Exel/Andre Miller Both players set the tone when they play.NVE is a big time scorer and clutch player but he can always feed his team-mates well by attacking and kicking out to the open shooters.Andre Miller is more of a "set you up player" although many have moaned at Dre for not doing that much this season but lately he has been getting the assists while playing good all-round basketball.The key to this match-up is who controls the game from the word go.If Nick can contend Miller from driving the Warriors will have a very good chance at victory..making Miller force to hit that jump shot will be the goal.Which has always been said to be his weakness.While on the other side Miller will need to make sure Van Exel doesn't get on a role from deep.As he is the kind of player who can get hot real quick which could be the downfall for the Nuggets. Warrior Keys To the Game by Rudeezy The Warriors have won 4 in a row and are playing great basketball. They match up well with the Nuggets. Dampier must continue his dominance in the paint against a very lenghy Camby. If J-Rich continues to impress and NVE plays the way he did against the Spurs, the Warriors will be in good shape. Dunleavy must limit Carmelo's looks at the wrack. The biggest key will be applying pressure to Andre Miller. He is a great point guard and could have a huge night. The key is to not let him get off to a good start. Nuggets Keys To the Game by allnet The good thing about this match-up is the fact both teams are playing very good basketball.Warriors are on a 4 game winning streak while the Nuggets have won their last 3.Which included a 113-103 win over the Dallas Mavericks.The key's to victory for the Nuggets will be keeping Erick Dampier off the glass where he has dominated games this year.Not letting Nick Van Exel going off early is very important as mentioned in the key match-up above.Jason Richardson seems to be playing to his talents very well this season...his return was a big boost to the Warriors team.They are far however from a 2 man team..They have plenty of weapons on that roster.The bench play will be the real key here...Can the Nuggets keep players like Brian Cardinal,Calbert Cheaney,Speedy Claxton quiet.Those guys have been huge for the Warriors this season they always bring in energy while being a huge boost on both ends of the floor.So the benches will be key..and how Earl Boykins a former Warrior does..who has been playing amazing basketball all season.If he has a high scoring game the Nuggets chances of victory will be very high. Rudeezy's prediction The Warriors will be too much for the Nuggets at home. This game will come down to the wire with the Warriors winning another nail biter. Warriors by 3. allnet's prediction This game will be a very tough one for the Nuggets.The Warriors are finding their form with some very good wins.The more they get heathly the better they are becoming.My prediction is that homecourt advantage will be too much to handle...With Nuggets playing the night before It will be too tough to expect a Nuggets victory in this one.

As a Laker fan, I'd like to congratulate your team, the Denver Nuggets. They feed off so much energy off their new coach Jeff Bzdelik, and with guys like Voshon, Carmelo, and Earl Boykins, this team can do some damage in the Midwest. Maybe they can be the surprise team this year? Only time will tell.
please win tonight lakers! so for one day we can be in first place by ourselves. itll never happen again so this is our best chance.
