The Denver Nuggets are showing that they could be an overlooked team in the playoffs. The Utah Jazz, meanwhile, may have a disappointingly short postseason if they don't find a way to improve quickly.

The Nuggets look to extend a season-best six-game winning streak Wednesday night as they try to avoid being swept in their season series with the struggling Jazz.

Denver (41-36) tightened its hold on the sixth spot in the West with a 115-111 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. A victory Wednesday would give the Nuggets seven consecutive wins for the first time since Jan. 14-25, 2006.

"This is probably the best time ever to get the chemistry down," said Denver star Carmelo Anthony, who had 33 points against the Lakers. "It couldn't come at a much better time for us."

The Nuggets can't get home-court advantage in the first round as they trail fourth-place Houston by 7 1/2 games, but Anthony and Allen Iverson could make Denver a team no one wants to face in the postseason.

The Jazz, meanwhile, are one-half game behind the Rockets - who play at Portland on Wednesday - but have matched a season high with four straight losses and have dropped 10 of 15.

Hopefully. AI has bad Jazz history.

Also, the Jazz are fighting to keep homecourt here, they lose it if they lose tonight.

Sorry I haven't been making the threads lately, I have been really busy. Anyway I think we can win this one if we play like we have been playing lately, they now know that they can score, so they are playing defense. I think we will win.

Nuggets clinch playoffs and 7th seed with a win tonight, Hell of a start to the game to 12-2 Nuggets lets hope we keep it up!

melo4life · 04-11-2007, 06:33 PM

Yeah good start for the Nuggets, the Jazz are slowly working their way back into this game. Hopefully we don't let them get too close. 7th seed would be great to get for the playoffs, but I don't wanna verse Spurs.

Carmelo isn't off too a good start for this game, already 2 turnovers, and only 1-6 from the field.

melo4life · 04-11-2007, 06:38 PM

End of the first, we are infront by 2 points.

Carmelo has 6 points, 4 rebounds.
Nene has 8 points, 2 rebounds.
Camby has 4 points, 2 rebounds, 5 BLOCKS !!!
AI has 5 points, 4 assists.

**Sliccat** · 04-11-2007, 07:32 PM

You know, if this team could play at their best for 48 minutes, they'd be one of the top 3-4 teams in the league.

melo4life · 04-11-2007, 07:36 PM

Halftime we are up by 7 points, Camby looking like he might get a triple double.

Camby has 8 points, 7 rebounds, 6 blocks.
Carmelo has 19 points, 4 rebounds.
AI has 10 points, 6 assists.

Nuggets are playing pretty well at the moment. Only 1 half to go.

melo4life · 04-11-2007, 08:03 PM

Great work by the Nuggets, Nene gets the dunk off AI's assist, and drew the contact. Nuggets up by 13 with 1:37 remaining in the third. Camby is soo close to his triple double, only 3 more blocks to go. He has 13 points, 12 rebounds to add to that. Carmelo has 21 points, AI has 18 points, 11 assists.
