Kenyon Martin was amazing. His much-maligned outside shot was in full effect, draining two straight threes to nail up the coffin. He is a much better shooter than he gets credit for. But I tend to agree with those who would criticize a lot of the jumpers he takes. We have Melo for taking ill-advised jumpers, thanks you.

Lawson didn’t have a dominating night off the bench, but he was solid: 11 points, 4 assists and his 6 rebounds was move than Nene (3) and Kamen (5), who played more minutes and are a foot taller. Oh, an no turnovers.

Smith is going to continue to get flack about poor-shooting nights. But he still deserves a pat on the back for his improved all-around play. And while the numbers may not show it, he seems to be a lot better about his shot selection. He’s still got a ways to go, though.

Andersen had an OK night. The 6 points and 2 blocks were nothing special, but his 9 boards help make up for Nene taking the night off in that department.

Fun third quarter to watch. As exciting as close games are, this is what I expect from my Thugs every home game. I don’t care who they are playing.

I’m surprised he only has 4. He seems like the type of player that should average close to a double double.

“They call that a paradox.” Glad to see nearly all of Melo’s stat averages up this year, but yeah, his innate talent makes it clear he can do more if he focuses on his all around game. Here’s hoping all the chanting of “MVP” when he’s at the line go to his head in the right way.

Nice to see them win a game with a big margin.
The starters played terrific, all 5 of them. The play at the Point Guard position is the best in the NBA. CB looks great and when Lawson comes in, the Nuggets pick up speed.
Would love to see JR improve from the field. Confidence is a great thing to have, but the degree of difficulty on his shots is amazing.
K-Mart…our new 3-point weapon. Make it rain brother!

both teams made 37 field goals. lac attempted 90 shots compared with denver’s 71. considering lac went 1 for 17 from the 3 point line this is a case of where they stopped themselves with lousy shooting. the decisive 3rd quarter denver outscored lac 29 to 9 in the first 8 minutes. the remaining 4 minutes denver was outscored 8 to 5. holding any team to 17 points in a single quarter in the nba is great defense. kmart played 39:59 for the game. consider he played 41:16 the night before in an overtime victory he is really walking the walk. billups played just under 30 minutes. anytime denver gets a win and billups plays less then 30 minutes denver has done well. like andrew said nuggets did what they were supposed to.

he gave i think $1,500 for Haiti for every board he got last night… he had 14 boards, he gave them $21,000

We can talk about how we “did what we were supposed to”, but really? Those are the types of games we have been dropping all season. Tonight was probably the first time this year that we saw that free flowing, high scoring Nuggets offense we have come to love the past few years in full effect. I’m definatly starting to feel better about the team with each passing game. Hopefully we continue to improve.

There are bigger problems to worry about than how JR sucks and the intricacies of beating the Clippers. Both teams look like they had played late last night and the best thing to do is take these wins however they come and immediately forget about it. These are exactly the kind of games Nuggets have been struggling with. The Clips really fell flat on their face on their own but who cares.

It’s so funny how badly everyone hates JR now. JR played mostly in garbage time this game and shot horribly. He is playing with effort and doing other things well and trying to get the energy up when he’s in. I still maintain Birdman looks as if he’s lost his fire and takes half of the plays off when he’s in. The main difference since getting healthy is that Chauncey has been on fire. He wasn’t shooting well before the injury and now it seems whenever we need a boost he’ll make a couple of huge buckets in a row.
