i think Camby might play in today...this going to be a very tough task today...if Camby is playing in this one they'll have a not bad chacne of winning this one..if Camby isnt in this i dont see the Nuggets winning..Amare will just dominate inside the paint..
Game prediction
Nuggets 112
Suns 110

Suns are going to show the Nuggets are overrated and blow this one out.

Suns Game Thread

Nuggets seek some redemption to their last lost against the Suns. I'm sure we all remember it. The one Karl lambasted the refs.

Suns need this win though to continue to have a lock on home court through out the playoffs. It would be a big boost for the Nuggets to win this game and get back in the Win column.

My game prediction is:

Nuggets 111

Suns 107

Lets go Nuggets!!!

Uh, from what I heard Camby went on the injured list. I do believe, however, that he would be eligible come playoff time. Can anyone confirm this?

Oh, and by the way, Voshon took Camby's place. Not sure why.

[BaLLiStiX17]

wow terrible terrible transition defence by the nuggets..75 points in the First Half for the suns..the nuggets just were just to slow going down the other court..also part of the reason Suns shot 60% or something like that was the dribble penetration from Steve Nash..The suns got 30 points from beyond the arc..the only bright spot for the nuggets were Carmelos 27 points...it was nice to see though the nuggets driving to the net for some free throws..but they should of made some of their easy layups..and boykins made a couple quick misses which lead to more transition..o yeah and the score right now is 75-57 Suns at the half..man we really need Camby..

Oh, and by the way, Voshon took Camby's place. Not sure why.

I think it was a neck sprain not sure..but he should be back in time for the playoffs

I see a couple of guests here..Join and post with us..its free and it will only take a few min or less heres the Link

[Kuskid]

I'm here now. What a disappointing half. Only bright spot I can find right now is Voshon starting the second half. I'll be watching him closely for awhile to see how he's moving.

[BaLLiStiX17]

I feel bad for Voshon getting injured the first game of the season then playing only in the last two games of the season..o well atleast hes here for the playoffs..i guess were going to be agaisnt the spurs in the first round..?

[Kuskid]

Well, nice effort by Melo getting in the way of the alley oop in transition. Unfortunately, he tapped it up, off the glass, and in.:P Just one of those nights I guess. Voshon's moving around better than I expected, especially laterally. We still need to get back on defense though. That's great that you threw a nice alley-oop to Kenyon, but don't jog back while Shawn Marion outhustles everyone for a layup. Bottom line: we're scoring OK, we need defensive stops.

[BaLLiStiX17]

getting tired..im out for today..well im still going to watch the game..unless it reall gets out of hand....later

I know this is no longer possible.... but would you STILL want to see the Suns in the first round of the playoffs?

By the way the moment I heard Karl said he wanted to try to outrun the Suns today I knew the Suns woud win. There are probably only a couple teams in the history of the NBA capable of doing that.

Well the suns smoked the Nuggets. I'm still not convinced the Suns are championship material. I'm just happy that the Nuggets are in the playoffs for the second straight year in a row.

Also looks like the Suns will be playing Memphis. From the stats they showed on TNT during the game. Memphis has been able to contain the Suns. I was very suprised by that stat. What would you say is the cause of this ?

I predict the Suns and Spurs could as easily be upset or make it to the Western Confrence Finals this year. The west is pretty much wide open in my opinion. Obvious heavy favorites are Spurs, Suns, Mavs, and Rockets. But right behind them is the Kings, Sonics, and Nuggets. This is going to be one of the funest Playoffs in a long time.

Good luck to your Suns team but I have seen other teams that could out run them in the past. Like the Denver Nuggets of the 80s. My favorite teams are well balanced teams that are great on offense and defense. The Suns seem too one dimensional to me.

But as I stated up above this year is wide open for the West.

You get that right. No teams can trade baskets with Suns.

And a lot of Nuggets still think they can win IF they are health and too bad they are not. I am glad we blew them out today. We need Nash to rest.


Have fun with Spurs in the 1st round.
