2008-2009 Game 19: Denver Nuggets vs Toronto Raptors Game Thread

Toronto Raptors at Denver Nuggets, Dec 2, 2008 7:00 PM MST


 

Due to a morning trip to the doctor’s  office that spilled into the afternoon you are all going to have to figure out a way to prepare for tonight’s game with the Toronto Raptors without a decent preview from me. 

All you need to know is Melo is going to play, or at least try to, and Chris Bosh is in town.  Bosh is playing as well as anyone not named Lebron or Dwyane right now. Kenyon Martin has done a pretty good job on Bosh in the past, but it will take a complete team effort to slow him down.

Jermaine O’Neal was beginning to get into a groove in Toronto before injuring his ankle and tweaking his surgically repaired knee before that.  After missing three games he will be a game time decision.   Andrea Bargnani has filled in admirably for O’Neal though.  If O’Neal sits Nene will probably start on Bosh with Martin on Bargnani and once again early foul trouble will be something that Nene must avoid.

I guess Chauncey's hand is okay...

Portland has rallied and are leading the Knicks by 6 in the 4th.

GO BRONCOS!!!

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
