2008 Preseason Game 4: Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns Game Thread

Phoenix Suns at Denver Nuggets, Oct 17, 2008 5:30 PM MDT


Well, I have no idea how many of you will be watching this game on some obscure website so I better throw up a game thread just in case.  

Melo will undoubtedly be pumped up for his return to the Carrier Dome where he played in college for Syracuse although he did have a message for fans who may want to see him play his regular allotment of minutes:

"I hope they don't (start chanting in the fourth quarter) this time," Anthony said Thursday. "They've got to realize, it's a different time of the season right now."

It sounds like everyone will be available to play other than Steven Hunter, Chucky Atkins and Sonny Weems.

First Half Update

Kenyon has the night off. Juwan started in his place. No Nash or Amare for Phoenix.

Both teams playing similar to the outdoor game, low scoring and sloppy. The score is 43-41 Suns.

Nene is playing well on both ends of the floor. He blocked a couple of shots early, including one from Shaq, and did a good job being a threat on offense from the post and the wing.

Melo has 14 first half points. J.R. Smith has done well too, but I missed most of his time on the floor.

First players off the bench were J.R., Birdman and Cleaves. No Smush Parker in the first half. I do not think Ruben Patterson played either, but I could be wrong.

Another win for my Nuggets.

Difficult to feel too bad about a team that wins 4 straight, 3 of which included games against premier Western Conference heavyweights.

THE STIFF LIST (as of 11/20 by Andrew)

STIFF #1: THE NEW JERSEY NETS
The bad get worse.  Starting out 0-12, these Nets are doing a great imitation of the 1997-98, 11-win Nuggets.  I might have to pay someone to take my Nets tickets when they come to Pepsi Center.

STIFF #2: ALLEN IVERSON
I hate to kick one of my favorite players while he's down, but when even the Knicks won't sign you, you belong on the Stiff List.

STIFF #3: THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Richard Jefferson?  Antonio McDyess?  DeJuan Blair?  A healthy Manu Ginobili?  Big deal.  What idiot thought these guys would be neck-and-neck with the Lakers and way better than the Nuggets?  (Oh wait, that would be me.)  

STIFF #4: TRACY MCGRADY
After years of suspect handling of his injuries making it virtually impossible for the Rockets to trade him, McGrady goes head-to-head with Rockets coach Rick Adelman demanding to know what his "future" with the organization is.  Tracy, take your league-high $23.2 million and shut the @#$% up.

STIFF #5: DAVID KAHN
Defiant and stubborn as ever, the Timberwolves "president" defended his offseason moves (you know, drafting two point guards before Brandon Jennings not named Brandon Jennings) by proclaiming that the Wolves will be active during next summer's free agent market.  I just pray that Wolves owner Glen Taylor never fires this guy so the Nuggets have four guaranteed wins each season.
