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 2/7 by Andrew)

STIFF #1: THE FUTURE OF THE NBPA
If the NBA owners opening proposal for the new collective bargaining agreement is any indication, we're heading for a lockout in 2011 and after that, smaller contracts, smaller salaries and less revenue shared with the players.

STIFF #2: THE CLIPPERS
After correctly kicking Mike Dunleavy upstairs and rightly installing Kim Hughes as head coach, why are rumors of Isiah Thomas joining the Clips circling around already?

STIFF #3: THE EASTERN CONFERENCE
Rumors of the re-birth of the Eastern Conference have been greatly exaggerated.  Yes, the Cavaliers are awesome but the sixth playoff seed might be sub-.500.  And do you think any of the West's top six teams fear the Celtics, Magic or Hawks?  No chance. 

STIFF #4: ANKLE INJURIES
First Carmelo Anthony.  Then Chauncey Billups. And now possibly Arron Afflalo?  Tape those ankles up, dammit!  

STIFF #5: NEW JERSEY NETS
4-46 and losers to the lowly Pistons on Saturday night.  But Lawrence Frank was the problem, right?
