2008 Preseason Game 2: Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns Game Thread
Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns, Oct 11, 2008 8:00 PM MDT
I bet TNT is not too happy rigth now.
The second ever outdoor NBA game between the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns will be lacking some star power. Carmelo Anthony will miss his second preseason game due to his bruised finger. Allen Iverson reportedly experienced some swelling in his bruised knee last night and will sit out tonight's game. On the Suns side of the ledger Amare Stoudemire will not be playing due to a scratched iris.
Despite the injuries, TNT is still planning on broadcasting the game at 8:00 PM Mountain. I decided to open up a game thread since the game will be nationally televised so feel free to leave your thoughts as you watch.
Also, Bright Side of the Sun actually did some research and has learned that the weather forecast for the game is a temperature of 68 degrees at tip off with a wind of 15 miles per hour. Could be fun.

Is it on in Denver/CO?
Suns fan here and TNT isn’t showing/having technical difficulties and it isn’t on Cox, Dish, Direct TV or anything currently in Phx.
Yes! Got the stream working
Via some KobeBryantAmericanNBAMuchSuccessWebsite.com chinese site. As it came on LK hits a 3 to make it 25-26 Suns. First Nuggets of the season for me. Psyched!
Thanks, but
the game finally came on here in Phx in time for the second half. TNT or Cox sure screwed that up.
No worries.
My commentary is all screwed up. Just heard Barkely say “There’s nothing like playing ball back in the hood, is there Marv?” all slowed down, Matrix style. Quality stuff. Liking that Lopez kid so far.
It is kinda funny
seeing guys blow on their hands during a basketball game.
And the blimp shots are kinda cool in small doses.
End of the 3rd
Nuggets 57-53. Can’t complain so far. Shaq was shut down big time and I am absolutely loving Renaldo. Ugly game though, both teams at around 30%. Let’s hope its the cold!
No Smush or Hunter through three quarters
Interesting. Could be Karl is giving Cleaves his chance to prove he belongs.
Note to TNT
I do not need to see Steve Kerr’s head in a little box the entire time he is being interviewed. Please put the game on the full screen.
Thanks.
Nuggets respond to a Suns 3 by forcing a 24 second violation on the next defensive passage
Hope to see a lot more of that this season
Nice win.
Suns never really looked dangerous, our scrubs did a nice job near the end. JR smith looked good going to the hole, Balkman was great and made a clutch block at the 3 point arc against Bell (I think). Dahntay Jones had his moments, as did Cleaves and Patterson.
Birdman was really a beast on the boards. Really liking him.
