Nuggets vs Orlando

Really the main reason I think this matchup is key has noting to do with the trade but moreso where both these teams are at in the season. Orlando needs a quality win here at home. Maybe possibly catch Miami for the 3rd seed and the Nuggets are a hot team trying to move up to a 4rth seed.

Also this game tonight will feature more than likely Gallo coming off the bench. Not sure if permanent but if so thank goodness. I want to see how he handles a different role...

The Nuggets have been blessed with depth with the acquisition of "Knuggets" Raymond Felton and Wilson Chandler — and the third member of that trio, Danilo Gallinari, could play tonight for the first time since Feb. 25. That was the night Gallinari scored 30 points at Portland but also fractured the big toe on his left foot.

At the Nuggets' practice Thursday, Gallinari was going at it hard, playing intense one-on-one basketball.

"We'll see," he said about playing tonight. "I had a chance to run and jump and was trying to get some contact."

Karl said, "I think he'll play." The coach also noted, however, that Gallinari has seemed tentative in some workouts. Karl said if Gallinari does play, it'll be for about 20 minutes off the bench.


There will be lots and lots of bball on tonight including the Tourney

Great finish in Orlando....They needed the victory more than the Nuggets did but Felton got injured(sprained ankle I think)


Pacers got a quality win as did the Bucks and Rockets
