scorching DENVER NUGGETS

['melo_15]

what are your prospects about the denver nuggets on the up coming NBA PLAYOFFS 2005???

[Ataraxia]

Yup they will...I think they can even beat the Spurs with or without Duncan...

Their just simply doin everything right....everyone seems to be in form at the moment.

I dont think they can win the championship but they certaintly are more than capable of going past the first round....because even though playoff basketball is quite different, the amount of energy the Nuggets has is not an easy thing to contain even for the best defensive sides...thats why only someone like the Suns who play at a uptempo pace are prolly the only ones who can beat them.

Its truly been one of the best turnarounds in the NBA History I believe, much respect to George Karl for how hes got everyone on the team to play their game.

[Fresh8]

I see the Suns the only Western team who can beat the Nuggets.. and Sonics have a chance too if the whole team is fresh.

Melo is really playign awesome... Marcus and Andre are underrated while GEroge Karl should be considered for COY... I'm rooting for him!

[Strike Freedom]

i thought every team can beat nuggets..?

[Fresh8]

yeah i suppose...

[Its_asdf]

i thought every team can beat nuggets..?

Of course everyone can beat the Nuggets! That explains why they clinched a playoff spot when they were 8 games below .500 and then coach Karl came and then they won 22 out of 24 games.......... You're a genius my friend.

But I'll be rooting for the Nuggets since both the Magic and Raptors are probably going to be out.........


Go Dermarr Johnson!!!!!

I think they will make to atleast the second round. The way Denver is playing right now is awesome. Their defense has improved and their offense has been consistent. They also have a solid bench with Boykins delivering 15+ a game. Go Denver

[Fresh8]

So ur syaing Boykins is the bench??? lol just joking

these guys are getting my support... since LA arent in...

[cyanide]

As long as they keep riding the momentum... Other than that, they don't have a whole lot of playoff experience, except for K-Mart.

[Matt]

as good as they are playing right now, i can see the Spurs delivering a 4-1 ass whooping. Over a 7 game series the Spurs have time to figure out the Nuggets strengths and the spurs experience and skill will allow them to counter those strengths.

As great as the Nuggets are playing, they havent figured themselves out yet, whereas Spurs know the plan => Duncan

[Bang]

Will Voshon Lenard play in playoffs?
It will be funny if he's 300 pounds like he seemed to be in the 3pt contest. (Apparently that didn't change his shooting much in the 1st round though)

Anyhow, I hate the Spurs with a passion, and I hope the Nuggets can kill them in the first round so Duncan can cry like he always does after a loss. (You know that "ugh...I lost, I want to die" face that he always has.) Also, it will make the playoffs way more interesting.

[IronMan]

That would be the face of a competitor.

[furious1]

Nah they won't get past the Suns, Spurs or Sonics. They just don't have enough firepower. If they had the fourth or fifth seed they would advance.

[Indy]

at first i thought this thread was asking if we thought the nuggets would make the playoffs...

i was pretty purturbe people werent flaming this guys ass off.

then i realized it was IN the playoffs, and i voted NO.

[COOLmac©]

they cant be better than my team-----> go rockets go

[Andrew]

They've been phenomenal since the All-Star break and I can't see them getting swept in the first round. But I'd pick the Spurs over them because of the experience, though if they don't have Duncan the Nuggets will have a very good chance at pulling off the upset. They might take a couple of games but I think they'll be gone in the first round.

[Sauru]

i had to vote no myself. i would have voted yes if i felt they would pass the first round but i honestly think thats where the ride ends for them
