Oh I didn't see this thread and had posted about this win in the Pricks-Pistons game thread. Another good game by the Cats. Sam Vincent though is a jackass for starting McMinus and not going with the big lineup of Nazr and Mek. He waited until the 4th to do that and finally the Cats were able to shut down Camby who dominated in the 2nd and 3rd. Also Sam Vincent had JRich guarding Melo for 3 quarters which was about the dumbest move I've ever seen. Totally took JRich out of the game until the 4th when Sammy went too the zone and took him off Melo. Wallace is awesome and Felton had a great game playing like a true point guard. Matt Carroll had his best game of the season. The Nuggs sucked on defense. I was shocked KMart actually looked spry out there. AI had a mediocre game for AI standards.
what did you think of melo wetting the bed late in that game.. cats almost blew that one... I really wonder how long the nuggs are going to go with AI and melo, that combo to me is still a bit odd....
Okafor still doesn't look the same, he really needs to work on an offensive game this summer.... should have done so last year if he wants big bucks..
gerald wallace has been a beast of late..
Actually Okafor had a great game and was playing really well against Camby at times. But then Sammy took out Mek and went with Nazr who couldn't handle him and thats when Camby started to get into a rhythm.
Melo was unstoppable for most of the game but he had a bad back which he initially hurt in the first quarter. Yet he was still going off. Then he kept getting dinged up as the game went on and in the 4th quarter when Sam went to the zone and brought in both Nazr and Mek, it limited the Nuggs to taking outside shots which they clanked. But through 3 quarters the nuggets were rolling offensively led by Melo.
But the Nuggets are winning lots of games in the tough western conference with AI and Melo so something is working. And now KMart is starting to look and feel much better. Their problem though is perimeter defense. If they can shore that up, they will be tough to beat.
yea, with melo and AI, they will win games because the can score the ball, but my question is, in order for them to be a contender, is that combo going to really work? as far as kenyon goes, I have seen him quite a bit this year, there will be games where he looks like the kenyon of old and then games where you can see that he doesn't have that energy, I guess with his injuries that is to be expected. I just hope Isiah doesn't trade for that guy.. LOL....
And cut sammy some slack, rookie coach, but good basketball guy...
