Series:
Nuggets – 0
Hornets – 0
It’s game day!
I’ve been waiting all weekend for tonight as I’m sure many of you have.
After watching a lot of basketball yesterday I’m pretty much ready for anything. The Bulls marched into Boston and beat the Celtics for the first time ever in the playoffs … and yes that includes the MJ era. The Mavericks handled the Spurs in San Antonio. The Rockets, behind rookie point guard Aaron Brooks and his 27 points went into the Rose Garden and exploited the Blazers.
For those of you scoring at home that makes it road teams three and home teams one as the Cavaliers were the only team who held strong at home by beating the Pistons.
The Nuggets for the sixth straight season are waiting to tip-off a playoff series and Denver fans finally will get that game at home. It’s now up to the players to take advantage of what they worked so hard for all 82 games long.
Home Court.
Pepsi Center.
8:30 p.m. Mountain.
Opposition: At the Hive: There is an excellent Q&A up over on the NOLA site with Hornets bloggers coming together to offer their take the series. Highly recommend you go give it a read!
Pepsi Center: Hope some of you will be in attendance tonight. I'll be sitting up in the rafters in section 368 with the Melo's Yellows group. Roughly 168 of us and a good portion will be wearing yellow t-shirts ... should be fairly noticable if you're there or maybe a glimpse on TV.
Playoff Stats:
Hope we don't see any of this:
I think we can all recall when Reggie Evans grab/punched the "under-carriage" of the Clippers' Chris Kaman in the 2006 playoffs. Let's just hope as reader 5280 emailed me that Chris Paul doesn't revert to his Wake Forest days as this clip versus North Carolina State and former Nugget guard Julius Hodge shows:

lets go
This is the best team denver has had since the 84-85 team that lost to LA in WCF. Just like that team they go with the PG. Chauncey is the difference. Denver in 5

Our offense was one dimensional. Melo only drove once and failed, he needs to keep trying. we need to get more fouls on their bigs

Posey loses it out of bounds.
I remember right after we had traded him to Houston, the Nuggets came down (I live in Houston) and just as he was shooting a FT, I stood up and booed him. After it clanged off the rim, he looked up at me and gave me a death glare.
I’ve been a fan of his ever since.

The problem is switching after screens.
Let the Birdman be down low for the help if the deffensive man doesn’t pass the screen in time, but switching with Paul’s man is giving us a lot of troubles, leaving Birdman guarding CP3…

What a ridiculously stupid question.
“Chauncey already over your season scoring average. Was that part of the game plan?”
What’s he supposed to say?
“Yes. The game plan was for Melo to be cold and Martin to be nearly invisible offensively while I cover for Smith’s poor shooting and decision-making and knock down 3’s like I’m still playin’ at CU.”
Seriously. Who decided it was a good decision to give that man a microphone and let him ask questions??

I think one of the best things about this game is that everyone was heating up at the right time. Melo had a slow first half but picked it up in the second. Billups was just ridiculous all game, the one constant. And then JR starts picking it up in the fourth. Great all around game and the defense wasn’t too shabby either

Nugs showed why they are such a good team tonight. Even if several of our key players struggle much of the game (JR, Melo) other players step up and carry the team.
I wouldn’t expect the rest of the series to be that easy. Hornets couldn’t make a shot for anything and I don’t think it’ll stay that way throughout the series. Nuggets should forget this game ever happened and prepare for a tough next game.

You are a lucky man to watch our guys in postseason glory
I am just a bit concerned how much we relied on Chauncey’s long range shooting. He was absolutely incredible and deserves a ton of praise, but there is no way he can sustain that.
Let’s hope that Melo and JR are over their early jitters now and can help Chauncey carry the scoring load.
Happy, happy days!! :)

I have a hunch that game to will belong to #15. I can ‘feel it’.
"C" is for Championship...that's good enough for meeeee!!!

I saw all you guys in yellow last night. Your group was definitely the loudest last night, and I loved hearing all the chants coming from your direction. What an postseason opener!

Awesome man! They'll be there for Game 2 as well ... but I've upgraded my seats for Wednesday!

Blazer haters?
Where are all those guys supplying helpful insight now? They’re claim all along was to interact with Nug fans, not to troll and spew hate on our site. Where’s your Messiah now?
BTW- nice showing in your home playoff debut.

You beat me to it!
I wanted to be the first to rub Blazer fans smug little nose in that steaming pile of playoff goodness they laid out there….
Their performance certainly does little to justifty their creative math justifying the #2 seed….

It's eerily quiet around here
I think it’s because the Blazers got their #$! handed to them at home. So much for home-court chumps!

What does Chauncey bring to this team?
I just rewatched the game on Altitude and Chauncey’s interview after the game. With the crowd chanting “MVP” they essentially asked him “How did it feel to absolutely dominate?” to which he responded (paraphrasing here) “It felt good but it’s just one win and game two is even more important”. As always he was cool as a cucumber. Now that’s veteran leadership. For comparison purposes, in JR’s interview he was giddy as schoolgirl and barely mentioned the next game.

Not that I don't love me some JR.
Just pointing out the difference between youthful enthusiasm and veteran experience. I think the Nugs have a great mix of both.

Great points.
I missed all the TV stuff and postgame stuff. But being at The Can was totally worth it.
I love Billups’ work man like attitude. Guy is awesome.
