Did you see JR Smiths 3 point flurry? That one at the buzzer from near halfcourt was flat as fuck but still went in

[Gedas]

Well, Kleiza seems to just fail to get a decent game. He might be tired after the WC and the preseason and a little out of shape, because, although he scored 6 tonight, his shot persentage doesnt impress. Hopefully he can return to his previous form and have a blowout night soon.

[CMJ3]

When ive watched Kleiza he seems to just pass around and then take some dumb shots. I still like him off the bench because hes got good D and can rebound well. On the offense i prefer him to get inside and do some putback shots from offensive boards. Diawara is playing really good atm, i remember watching his first game against Miami where he was very unsure on what to do when guarding Wade but he seems to be finding his feet which is great.

Well JR stated that he wanted to get back at the team that traded him without giving him a chance, hed been preparing for this game for a while.

[Anthony15]

Good win against GSW, some bs calls at the end, miller misses both ft's, but we hang on.

[sdude]

denver controlled the boards 54-34, well thats pretty good news

[CMJ3]

Denver beat GSW again 140 - 129, heaps high scoring, with Melo and JR Smith leading the way Melo got 30 points with 7 assists which is good news and JR Smith with 31 points is awesome for his confidence. Boykins getting a double double off the bench is pretty good.

[Anthony15]

yeah high scoring game, but c'mon if we want to do better on D, which GK talks about after the game a lot, we cant let teams score 129 points.

[mAgoTT50]

melo and jr combind for 61 pt , daaamn,
is JR finaly trying too grow up??

[CMJ3]

Beat the Clippers today and extended our winning streak to 5 and we are 8-4. Looks like people were wrong about JR Smith hes really a great scorer and an amazing athlete, I'm glad Denver gave him a chance as he is really starting to pay off, him and Melo are a deadly combo. Evans continues to dominate, i swear he should get the starting job, getting the most rebounds coming off the bench. Anthony put up his 8th 30+ point game, plus he added 6 asssits and 5 rebounds and also 4 steals. Camby had 6 blocks which shows hes in a bit off form.

melo - west palyer of the week well he really deserved it

[---]

Shit game for the Nugs. They didn't box out at all and while Carmelo was great, they didn't have much outside of him. Great game for Carmelo, he and Marcus were pretty much the only guys playing defence.

Carmelo: 37pts 9rbs 7ast 1blk

Nuggets, the 2nd best rebounding team in the league, were simply out rebounded in important situations by the Grizzlies, who's best rebounder is Stromile Swift, while the team ranks 22nd in rebounding.

Tough game, Carmelo continues to impress, but Nuggets couldn't finish it.

[Matt]

ya'll got Hakim Warrick'ed

[sdude]

only 5 pts from JR Smith and another great game from melo
btw both of them commited 0 fouls

[CMJ3]

Another great win against the T-Wolves. Carmelo dominated again, he is absolutely on fire, 35 pts, 8 rebounds, 4 assits and 3 steals . We are closing in on the Jazz.

[Scotty]

yeah great win again. And how about those 2 buzzer beaters and the shot clock beater by JR

[Matt]

that was total BS

[Riot]

How about Marko Jaric coming into the game with his jersey on backwards?

[CMJ3]

Haha what a fool. Defiantly shows he was focused on what he was doing.

[Scotty]

@ Jaric

Denver currently up by 10 at the half, Melo with 24 and 2-2 from 3

Lets hope he can beat his best of 45 and get 50

[CMJ3]

I reckon he will get 40 or so if he keeps going, if the team starts to play well then Melo usually starts to slow down in scoring and gets more assits. I think he will get 37 or 36.

Very Close, he ended up with 38, he just cant get to that 40, although im sure he could if he really wanted to, any way Nuggz have a great win again 121 to 101 over Pacers

[nets4life]

just saw some highlights, Melo is looking VERY VERY good this season if he doesnt make the all stars il eat my hat

[Scotty]

yeah he'd better, im voting for him pretty much every day, he'd be awesome in the All Star game i bet.

[Its_asdf]

I think Dermarr Johnson needs some playing time.

I just realized that both Nene and Kenyon Martin are injured... Again. Not to sound cynical, but it's only a matter of time before Marcus Camby wears down.

[CMJ3]

Camby is staying rather healthy actually, he usually doesnt mind getting injured but now he doesnt want to so hes being more careful but still playing his best bball. Also we didnt get Evans and Joe Smith for nothing. Injuries always bite us its justs this time we got some solid backups. Nene will return soon i hear he is just day to day.

On the win, it was a good one by the Nuggets, If Carmelo would of played over 40 minutes then he would of got over 40 easily. I dont think he played any of the 4th quarter, well not much of it anyway. So blame Karl for not putting him in the game. I love our style of play, it makes the games so much more fun to watch. 10-5 means we are only like 4 games behind the Jazz which is good to keep up there.
