After months of struggling with chemistry issues, the Denver Nuggets appear to have hit their stride with the regular season winding down.

The surging Nuggets look to extend their win streak to nine games when they visit the league-worst Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night.

A December trade for Allen Iverson and a 15-game suspension given to leading scorer Carmelo Anthony had Denver (43-36) in catch-up mode for most of the season's second half. The Nuggets, though, seem to have recovered nicely.

Their eight-game win streak -- the team's longest since a 10-game run from March 30-April 15, 2005 -- has helped the team solidify their playoff position.

Not 100% sure about the Memphis lineup because they have injuries and whatever.

It would really suck to lose here or against the wolves. I'd probably have to laugh though.

Seeing as Denver has clenched 6th, I wonder if it would make sense for them to rest their starters, or if they want to work on their chemistry more.

Looks like this one was definitely worth not watching. The only positive I got out of reading the box score is that I know for sure now that Chucky Atkins is still alive.

Wasn't our defense good or something?? Must of been terrible if Memphis scored 133 points. We have to pick up our game for the playoffs thats for sure.

Denver obviously did not care about this game and to be honest I expected this to happen. I mean you just clinched the 6th seed and theres nothing more you can get and your playing one of the worst teams in the league, what is the motivation to get up for this game. I wouldnt even mind if the starters got more rest for the rest of the games. If the Nuggets do have to play the Spurs I betcha that the starters for both teams barely play at all in the Final regualr season game.

I guess it's just me, but when I play, it's all out or nothing at all. I can't play lazy or half-hearted. I could understand resting guys like Melo and AI (league leader in MPG), but all the starters played big minutes, they just didn't show up to play I guess.
