Q's Key's To The Game:
1) Get Kaman involved early and show a solid post presence. By doing so, we can hopefully get Camby into foul trouble.
2) REBOUND, REBOUND, REBOUND. We have been allowing way too many rebounds in our recent games, and it won't get any easier playing K-Mart, Camby and the rest of Denver..
3) Ross frustrating Melo like he did in the playoffs and last season. We need Q all over Melo, getting in his mind while Knight is a roadblock on Iverson.
Q's Quote: Nuggets play the Lakers the night before, so they should be hopefully tired. Let's hope this game goes deep so the Nuggets can't rest their starters.
The Clippers beat them last time, hopefully they can do it again to get out of this slump. Kaman is obviously the key to the game and pretty to every game.
kaman and camby the last time had some absolutely incredible numbers. I bet two centers dont combine for that kind of output in a game more than 2-3 times a season, if that.
That being said, i cant see how they can duplicate that output. Perhaps this game will be controlled more by the guards.

Shooting guard Cuttino Mobley practiced sparingly Thursday, after missing Wednesday's practice because of a swollen left elbow. Mobley bruised his bursa sac when he fell on his elbow in a recent game. …
Although guard Sam Cassell's strained left calf muscle will not allow him to play Friday, Cassell decided Thursday to accompany the team to Denver. Cassell said he hopes to play in the next game, Sunday afternoon at Staples Center, against the Indiana Pacers.
The injuries continue...incredible. we are like breaking new ground on injuries too. Livingston had a never seen before sports injury, and whats this that mobley has? Ive never heard of this before..."Mobley bruised his bursa sac ?" Sounds almost vulgar.

With what Melo did at the Staples Center, there's a chance he might be suspended for our game as he went directly to the throat of Sasha Vujacic. Hopefully it doesn't fire up the rest of the Nuggets.
It looked like Melo was chocking him. He probably will be suspended.
And I'm not gonna lie, I was kind of jealous watching the Lakers murder Denver tonight.
well i hope Carmelo is suspended for tomorrows game, and damn its @ Denver?
i hope Denver plays like **** again so we can get a much needed road victory if they go down by 20 ima probably stop watching so heres to hoping they keep it close
Watching the replays, it was way more of a Vujacic flop then Melo actually choking him if you ask me, but I hope the league looks at it as an unnecessary rough foul and suspends him for a game.
What is it with Melo and not keeping his cool in Staples?

Yeah. Not a big deal. But at the same time he did make the contact and if the league is fair to all it's "stars", then he will get a game or two suspension.
Sasha is normally not good at anything except for pissing of people. He got Iverson pissed enough to smack him once, Nash to. Thats normally all he's good for.
As for the Clippers, these injuries are just ****ed up. I mean seriously, could anymore people get hurt. I hate to think I fear a Kaman injury is around the corner to knowing his history.
Even short handed, they could beat the Nuggets. Only for one major reason. They play no defense whatsoever. They are so busy looking to get there chance to shoot, they ignore the other end. If the Clippers could get hot, and keep shooting while playing good defense they got a chance.
Not to mention a heart breaking loss tonight, flying all the way back to Denver. So they will be tired, mentally out of it.
I think the Clips are in a good position to win.

i think we need TWO people to step up and have above average (per their standard) games, in order to come out with a victory. I dont think kaman is going to have another 20/20 or near game against them this time. We know cassell is out. And maggette's minutes are limited to 30.
Thus we need an outstanding game from 2 of the following to have a chance: Thomas, mobley, patterson, ross, thornton. Pretty much all accept thornton has had that type of game this year, so perhaps its thornton's turn to shine tonight. Coach said he would play for sure so lets see
