This is a huge game for the Nuggets. I'm sure Duncan and Manu will be back in time for this game if not sooner.
So the Nuggets will have their hands full. Although I like our front line a little better than the Spurs. But obviously mr duncan is the x factor. Truly special talent. Hopefully though our big guys will be able to body up on Duncan and make him earn his keep. If we do that and Keep manu from going off we should be able to stay neck and neck with this team down the wire. It will be really interesting to see how our Nuggets defend this winning streak. They are playing with a lot of momentum and pride right now. I think the Nuggets will start off fast and hot against the Spurs. But the Spurs are one team that can weather a storm and keep coming back for more. So this should be an amazing test of wills and pride out their in San Antonio. Probably the most hyped I have been for any Nugget game this season.

Spurs are 27-2 at home.

This one will be either a very easy loss to swallow (barring injury etc ...) or a very HUGE win.

Low Risk and High Reward from the fans perspective.

In my demented view of things ... a 1-1 weekend would almost register with me as a continuation of the winning streak.

If the 3's are falling once again ... this will be a close one.

This game will be a great heat check for the Nuggets and everyone is going to need contribute for a victory. Not only is Duncan expected to play, but so is center Nazr Mohammed. With Nene still out, I will be very interested to see how Camby, Kenyon, Eddie and Elson handle Duncan, Rasho, Horry & Nazr.

Big questions for the game
1) Can the rotation of SG's stop or at least slow down Manu?
2) Will Miller be able to slow down Parker?
3) Will the Nuggets let Bowen sit in the corner and take uncontested 3's all game?

HUGE game. doubt we win but i hope its close. at least give us a chance.

melo has to finally have a decent game vs bowen. i dont think he ever has.

i hope manu doesnt play. he will light us up. duncan lights everyone up.

i woudlnt mind dre not sucking for the first time in awhile.

a lot has to go right to have a chance to win. im not counting on it.

and please no more injuries.

Quick correction. This game is at 8:30 Eastern, so 6:30 Mountain and will be shown on NBAtv. As much as my kids allow, I will be providing play by play posts throughout the game

Great break for the Nuggets, TD is not in uniform. The Nuggets have to win this game now

[cpawfan]

Camby, Kenyon, Melo, DJ & Dre vs Massenburg, Bowen, Rasho, Barry and Parker

2-2, Spurs hits a shot after an offensive rebound. Melo missed. Spurs missed. DJ ran out and got a good pass. Fouled. made 1 of 2

Parker gets credit for a basket from a Camby GT. Miller makes a shot near the end of the clock 5-4 Nuggets

[cpawfan]

Kenyon misses a 18 footer jumper, Spurs miss a shot from the corner. Long pass to Melo who makes the bucket.

7-4 going into a timeout

I'm sure with TD out there, KMart will put up big numbers.

Some sloppy Nuggets play on the boards and the score is now 10-12

Too many attempts for run outs instead of trying to secure long rebounds

Spurs were picked as favorites to cover the spread tonight.

Looks like another game where the board cleans up.
