wow a blowout..Rockets up by 26

8 minutes left. i want to be optimistic, but i think its over.

and yes. camby is this team's mvp. no one else's absence affects the team that much.

Well, this one's over, 102-77 Rockets. I guess all streaks have to come to an end some time, and 10 of 11 doesn't sound that bad. Camby is, in my opinion, the MVP of this team, and that was apparent tonight. And I just shed a tear when they showed that kid putting on the McGrady jersey. Freakin' 9 year old bandwagoners...

lol i dont think if Cambys in the game can stop T-Macs 6/7 from 3pt..well though yeah i agree he does make a pretty big difference if hes in the game..

True but I doubt Dikembe Mutombo grabs 12 boards (5 off) in 15 minutes.

Nuggets lose 115-87..

Well, Tmac wasn't gonna be stopped tonight. Just 16 fast break points in the ugly 28 point loss (largest of the year). The one weird stat I can find is 13 turnovers by both sides. In most blowouts the winner takes care of the ball, and the team on the other end will have 20 or so. Denver didn't turn it over tonight, they just got torched by MrGrady down a crucial stretch of the game. Time to head home, take one day off, and hope everyone's a little less banged up for the home game against the Suns on Monday (Camby and Kenyon).

Wooofff! Now that was a whuppin'. I was hoping that you guys would ride into Houston and gun down the Rockets today. There are a couple games left, and the seeding in the West isn't final yet.

Very true, but not because Camby would be playing that much against Deke. By Camby sitting, Nene has to start and then that leaves Elson to go against Deke.

I'm trying to count how many Nuggets showed up and wanted to play tonight. Obviously it is less than 5 since the bench didn't contribute spit tonight.

Playoff type game, and we all saw which Nugget stepped up tonight. My hats off to the Rockets and I hope that Karl gets plenty of mileage out of this one

He's done it many times before. 5th in the league in rebounds per 48 minutes, and 6th in offensive rebounds per 48 minutes.

Well the Nuggets got their you know what handed to them by the Rockets. I think this game showed that when the Rockets hit their 3's they can beat anyone in the league. Also it showed me that Marcus Camby is the biggest factor to our defense.

Dikembe Mutombo ate us alive in the paint. And Yao had a pretty good game as well. The paint is one place our starting front line should hold up well against any team. But Camby wasnt their and it left a huge hole.

If Camby comes back for the Suns game I believe the Nuggets will pull it out. Although the Suns will be playing hard to secure home court through out the playoffs. Should be barn burner.
