Hornets fans and Nuggets fans get in!

All Hornets fans you are more than welcomed to post your throughts and feelings about the game here! Good Luck to you as well.

The Nuggets lead this series 1-0 early on in the season. No doubt in my mind the Nuggets really need this game to bounce back from their ugly loss against the Nets. However the Hornets are playing much better ball this season. So this should be a good game. Carmelo Anthony right now is day to day. However I doubt he will be playing in this game. So the Nuggets really need to come together with their young leader out.

Hornets @ Denver Let's go!

Let's Go Nuggets!

This should be a good game. Hopefully it will be interesting. The Hornets need this win to bounce back from the loss at Golden State and to get back to .500. J.R. needs to have a good game. Lately it's been all Paul and West. Good luck!

I heard on the general board that the Hornets coach sat his starters the entire 4th quarter. So obviously they will be more than ready to make up for their embarrassing loss against the Warriors. The Nuggets are going to really have to come out with a lot of energy from the tip to finish to win this game.

Good Luck to you as well.

I wonder if Scott will have PJ or West guarding Kenyon. PJ has given Kenyon problems in the past and if that does happen, Karl better switch things and let Camby post up West every play.

I'm very concerned about the Nuggets lack of ability to defend speedy PGs

Good observations cpawfan.

K-Mart didn't play against the Hornets in the first game. I believe it was Elson being guarded by West and PJ was guarding Camby. So if they keep to that it would seem K-Mart will be checked by West.

Also I don't think West Can keep up with Camby. So good call on your strategy to go to Camby. Also Elson did a good job against West. I remember West being very frustrated even though he had a good game statistically with 16 points and 9 Rebounds.

Melo hurt, See how the nuggets do this game. Hopefully Keyon can give the nuggets some bread for this game like he did last game. This is should be an easy win for the Nuggs

**girllovesthegame** · 11-30-2005, 04:45 PM

George Karl is serving one of a two game suspension tonight.

supermati · 11-30-2005, 04:46 PM

Melo is hurt... now the 3 position is not gonna play a big role for neither team(not great players)
The key for us is to defend Kenyon
You also have to watch out for Paul, the nuggetshad trouble defending him the last game

I'm liking this, Speedy is also being good tonight
Also something we can't overlook is Paul with his nice 7 assists

supermati · 11-30-2005, 07:48 PM

We are leading 82 to 77 so far, let's see what Scott and Karl are planning

**cpawfan** · 11-30-2005, 08:38 PM

I never ever want to see Scott Brooks as the fill in head coach again.

**23AJ** · 11-30-2005, 09:59 PM

A very dissapointing loss for the Nuggets tonight.

Nuggets lose 95 Hornets 102.

Kleiza got his first start tonight with Melo still out due to his injury. He had a decent game with 7 points and 6 rebounds. I like his shooting touch, but no doubt he is a role player still. We need Carmelo back soon.

Two really bright notes: Andre Miller was great on offense. Paul had no chance at being able to guard Miller.

Andre Millers stats: 33 Points on 12 for 18 shooting. 5 assists and 5 rebounds. A very good game by Miller.

Marcus Camby: 16 points 16 rebounds and 8 Blocked Shots. Camby was a monster again tonight.

I was most frustrated with the lack of energy by the Nuggets in the 2nd half. The entire first half for the most part we were running our fast break and pushing tempo. What happened ? I realize the Hornets started making shots, but they don't have great shot blocking ability we should of been pushing the ball at them for all 4 quarters.

Seems like the Nuggets lose their energy and edge during stretches in games. Something I hope will be addressed by Karl and company.
