Getting ready for a heavyweight fight...

I'll be there in section 222 baby! Let's win one of these damn meaningful games at home here!

This is ridiculously frustrating. This team, whenever they play the "elite" teams, doesn't even bother to compete. It's the first qt.- & I'm ALREADY PO'd at this display! They don't have to win- be let's at least be COMPETITIVE!!!!

Looks like the NUggs are no better than an above average team , if that, they suck

I can't watch anymore. Pathetic.

Ah well, looks like they can't hold their own with elite teams. This just proves it. The honeymoon period is over, and they aren't as good as we thought. Shiiiiiiiiit

As KS said- they ain't even competitive. This is the 4th or 5th stinker they've thrown up against the better teams. They still have time to get better, but right now they can't compete. I'll give Melo a pass this time around since he played in pain, but CB was missing AGAIN tonite. The biggest drop-off came from K-Mart! There was that 3rd quarter sequence where he missed 2 fts after getting T'd up, then clanged like 3 shots in a row. All around a forgettable evening, & a rude awakening. At this rate folks, its another one & done in the playoffs!

Man, it's tough to watch (and I was watching from yet another crappy stream, which was already tough enough)... Bron was a beast there's just no stopping him and all Cavs seemed to make circus shots in the paint. Z knocking down every (open) shot... if he were open at midcourt, I'm sure he would have knocked it down too. West, Pavlovic were knocking down shots, even KMart got punked by Varejao.

I thought Cavs' transition defense was great... they would just surround the guy leading the break, it's nasty. And I'm pissed that every time we got an offensive rebound, all the guy would look at is just the rim, instead of his teammates, pass it back out to the guards and reset the offense !!! Going against 2-3 Cavs in the paint... oh my. And then KMart couldn't buy any shot tonight... and did Nene really finish with a chinese donut (1 pt) today?

Last thing, I think Melo is still getting caught up with LeBron hype. Okay Melo, you need to forget about LeBron "this superior player than me", focus on the team goal. He's taking all ill-advised shots all game long... without AC and Andersen and J.R. this score would have been really really ugly.

Congrats Cavs, great team.

Just like with Houston, this team is simply too big for Denver. With Z and Varejo on the court at the same time, they had two players bigger than Nene. At times, Anthony Carter was assigned to guard Lebron James. You might as well assign me to guard him. At least I'm taller than Carter.

Once again, more quality coaching. Karl did not call a time out in the first half until well into the second quarter. No timeouts during a first quarter where the cavs scored 36 or so.

At halftime, the nuggets are down eleven. They open the second half with 4 quick points and cut the lead by all of two points to 9. The cavs call timeout about 1:30 into the third quarter. The result? The Nuggets don't score for almost 5 minutes of game time, and the cavs extend the lead to 18. At this point Karl finally substitutes, but still hasn't called a single timeout.

Not long after the Cavs timeout in the third, it is obvious that Anthony is gassed. I don't know if it is from the effort of guarding James, or if he is just out of shape. He did a decent job on James, I thought, but when he got tired they would put a guard like Carter on James. Why not bring in Balkman to play James some?

This team is on it's usual course, one win at best in a playoff series if something doesn't change. They, at a minimum, need a servicable 7 footer. I was not a fan of Camby's - too many selfish 20 foot bricks and too light to play real defense so he had to try to block everything, but they need someone big who can play some.
