Give it a week and I bet you see this team blow up on some poor squad for 130 or so.

In a game like the one tonight, with all the foul shots, we should be able to score a ton more. If Williams just dropped his usual percentage from deep we would have won by ten.

Williams hasn't been any good from 3 for 2 months.

if billups is healthy i have no worries about the offense... defense and rebounding is going to be a sore spot but hopefully we can figure something out come playoff time...

We get three guys to put up 30 or close to it, and no one else sniffs double digits.

We have a balance problem.
May be helped if Billups is out so other guys step up their game.

Whenever we play a team with a tall athletic center, and a quick pg who can shoot and penetrate, we will loose.....or we gave to play near perfect on both ends....

We're not running

This team is no longer built to run all the time. We will do that occasional running but Melo and Amare are just not the running type. The only way we run is if we can somehow tell Billy Walker to run at all times.

Melo is a ball stopper and he will always be a ball stopper. Fields is going to struggle to get involved in the offense. It's not his fault Melo never picks his head up and is a volume/gunner that doesn't look for guys. Amare has been open a number of teams around the basket and

We looked like **** against the Bucks and Cavs, great against the heat and then collapse against the Magic. We did lose a lot of defense in the trade and didn't address our glaring need. But, hopefully Jefferies will pick up the slack. And wtf was Williams doing starting against Dwight Howard?

Denver is winning because their players compliment each other. They are a running team and that is the easiest type of team to coach. Just run, run then run some more. Our team is now set for the halfcourt. It is a more difficult set and it will take time. The only thing going for us is that the playoffs is built for halfcourt teams. Hopefully, we can figure it out before the 1st round.

Teams arent getting up to play the Denver Nuggets man. Teams bring their A game against Melo and Amare.

I am not upset at yesterday's loss in the slightest, we were up by ten in the second half, the whole game was competitive, and we are probably gonna learn more from this loss than if we had won. At least we arent getting blown out by the good teams anymore, now when we face them, we expect to win which is a far cry from last year.

Chauncey Billups made only 4 field goals and had 30 points.

They talked about this last night on NBATV Steve Smith and Kevin McHale hinting at the fact the league will review looking into foul calls.....Those of which players swing through raking the arms of defenders and quite possibly baiting guys into fouling them by cutting in front of them or jumping into them on jump shots. I've held previous discussions about this and now it seems like it's a league issue. Billups better milk this for as long as he can because I do sense some changes coming next year. Players only making plays looking for calls is hurting the league big time more than ever and many quality players are guilty of it from

Kevin Durant/Duncan/CP3 etc etc

When you go up for a shot having no intention of making the basket whatsoever only wanting a foul to be called.... really it should be a technical not a foul. This isn't basketball and it's pathetic to watch.
