GAME 2 THREAD: Nuggets vs. Hornets

by Nate Timmons on Apr 22, 2009 3:12 PM MDT

Thank you to reader RandyP for providing this Yahoo! link breaking down Game 1 and how the Hornets don't seem to like Denver's physical play.

I think the Hornets are probably not as irritated with Denver's physical style of play as they are just lobbying the officials to get some calls heading into tonight's game at the Pepsi Center.

Said Hornets coach Byron Scott of Dahntay Jones:

“I can appreciate anybody that plays hard, but when you get to the point where you’re being a little dirty, that’s the thing that kind of aggravates me,” Scott said Tuesday. “Being that I played in this league, I know how tough that is. But when you get to the point where you’re being a little dirty then I don’t appreciate that—and I don’t respect it.”

This probably isn't the first time in Dahntay Jones' career where somebody has disrespected him. Heck, Jones is on this third team in his five year career. He's never averaged more than 7.5 points in a season and now he's carving out a new role for himself in Denver.

The role of the gritty nosed defender. Often when players are lauded for being "defensive minded" that's a nice way of saying "he lacks an offensive game." And we've all seen Jones' limitations this season on offense.

The 28 year-old guard has probably had to look himself in the mirror and realize who he must be in order to play a role on an NBA team. And like the great Scottie Pippen once said,

Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team.

The 6'6'' guard has accepted his challenge with the Nuggets of being a defense first player willing to relinquish offensive touches and starter type minutes (even though he starts for Denver.)

As we all witnessed in Game 1 with Jones' effort on Chris Paul ... sometimes that lesser role can be one of the most important ones.

Check out the Denver Post's (Dave Krieger) article on Jones vs. Paul here.

8:30?

I was listening to 104.3 The Fan this afternoon and they a brief sound byte from Chauncey saying that he hated the 8:30 game starts. He said it messed up his whole day. However, wouldn’t that be an advantage for the Nugs? I mean, if it’s 8:30 for the Nugs then it’s 10:30 for the Hornets (NO is EST right?). If it screws up Chauncey then I’d imagine it’s that much worse for the Hornets. Then again, Billups is kind of the grandpa of the series and the Hornets have probably been in Denver long enough for the time change to not really effect them. So maybe it’s a nonissue.

I don't mind the 8:30 start...

because it’s only 7:30 here in Los Angeles. That means I can get off work… (6:10) execute my hour and fifteen minute commute home (yay LA) and still have 5 minutes to take a pee and get something to eat…. not at the same time.

If only Monday Night Football was scheduled as such..

Comments For This Post Are Closed

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER

With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
