He's been on fire of late. cArMeLo's take With Duncan out, it's going to be a HELL OF A LOT easier to drive inside and get easy points in the paint. Unfortunetly for the Nuggets, Marcus Camby might not play, so Micheal Doleac and Nene are going to have to step up. Hopefully, Parker or Ginobili will have bad game's to make it a lot harder on the Spurs. I'll take the Nuggets by 5.
Holy crap, we got blown out by 25. Why didn't Bzdelik let Carmelo play in the second half? He had 20 in the first half alone.
