Minnesota Timberwolves at Denver Nuggets, Nov 16, 2008 6:00 PM MST
The Nuggets have won five straight regular season games against the Timberwolves and they need to push that total up to six.
With a win the Nuggets can create a three way tie at the top of the Northwest Division with the struggling Utah Jazz and the exceedingly slightly above average Portland Trailblazers at 6-4.
We will see if the Nuggets have any hangover from their successful road trip and win over the Celtics. It is yet another chance for this Nugget team to prove that they are different from last season. In the past the Nuggets would play down to their competition, especially after a big win.

I'll be late to this one
But I’ll be here to contribute eventually. Really need to defend our home court on this one, no excuses whatsoever.

First Half
The Nuggets offense has been horrid. Their offensive efficiency is only 91.4, but their defensive efficiency is a stunning 83.1. The pace is a little for a home game at 96.3.
Denver must be more patient on offense. They can run away with this game with just a slight boost in offensive production.

the way we are playing we are lucky to have to score this close
by joshhopp on Nov 16, 2008 7:59 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
seriously...
this isn’t entirely unexpected.
After two high profile, high intensity games in Cleveland and Boston it’s not surprising that the intensity isn’t where it should be for this one.
GO BRONCOS!!!

I have to disagree
they have had a nights rest

a loss here would be inexcusable

I agree it's inexcusable...
but still not surprising.
Consistancy is what seperates us from the truely elite teams.
GO BRONCOS!!!

rebounding
we have actually hit the boards the last couple of mins and it is paying off
by jgisland on Nov 16, 2008 8:24 PM MST reply actions 0 recs
absolutely!
Melo and Nene make big rebounds and take the lead along with the momentum.
GO BRONCOS!!!

kmart
can’t expect to throw that running hook up there and for it to go in with any consistency. he got lucky on a couple in boston, can’t take that for granted.

need to wait for better shots.
GO BRONCOS!!!

Man…three great games back to back.
Broncos v Falcons
Steelers v Chargers
Nuggets v Timberwolves
and I bet MNF is a good finish too.
Great day in sports.
