Game 36 Preview & Thread: Nuggets vs. Cavaliers (8:30pm MST)

Cleveland Cavaliers at Denver Nuggets, Jan 8, 2010 8:30 PM MST


74419_wizards_cavaliers_basketball_medium_mediumYou wouldn't know it by watching these two teams go head-to-head last season, but there was a time when this incarnation of the Nuggets dominated LeBron James' Cavaliers.

Star-divide

Prior to the 2008-09 NBA season, Denver had beaten Cleveland five straight times and had won all but two games since LeBron James' arrival in 2003.  Among those wins were Nuggets victories by 22, 30 (at Cleveland in 2008), 11 and 12 points.  

That all changed last season, though, when Cleveland bested Denver by 11 at Cleveland early into the season and then embarrassed Denver with a 17-point victory on December 19th.  And while it would be nice to see the Nuggets exact some revenge on their fellow 2009 conference finals participant, we still don't know for sure if our two best players - Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups - or even if our backup point guard - Ty Lawson - will be playing or not.  As of this writing, Billups and Lawson are "expected" to play with Melo remaining doubtful.

Without Melo and/or Billups/Lawson, I doubt the Nuggets can erase their recent woes against good teams - home or road.  After a shaky start, the Cavaliers are virtually tied with the Celtics for the Eastern Conference's best record, have won five straight road games (including at Phoenix, at the Lakers and at Atlanta) and have won 13 of 15 overall.  I was fortunate enough to see them play live against the Lakers on Christmas Day: this Cavs team is deep, can play big or small, fast or slow and when they're stingy on defense they're almost unbeatable.  During this successful 15-game span, the Cavaliers have held opponents under 100 points 11 times and under 90 seven times.  

And perhaps most importantly for Cleveland, their players are having fun again.  At first, the Shaquille O'Neal experiment looked to be an utter disaster as the Cavs played .500 ball with him and much better without him.  But as Shaq has played himself into (sort of) shape and his new teammates are getting used to playing with him, Cleveland's one-two punch of Shaq plus Zydrunas Ilgauskas (the best backup center in the NBA) gives smaller NBA teams fits.

Which brings us to our just-so-happen-to-be-undersized Nuggets... 

Remember when I wrote recently that the 76ers and the Warriors are the teams you want to play when your stars are hurt?  Well, the opposite applies to the Cavs.  This is precisely the team you don't want to play unless your roster is fully healthy.  At the very least, you need your best player out there.  Moreover, the Nuggets - who lack size to begin with - will likely be without their backup center, Chris Andersen, for this matchup...a guaranteed sellout at Pepsi Center and the biggest home game of the season until the Celtics and Lakers come back to town.

In other words, get well soon, Melo.  Very, very soon.

SCOUTING THE CAVALIERS...

Cavaliers Stiffs

-Delonte West: After playing impressively for much of the 2008-09 campaign, West spent his offseason getting caught riding a motorcycle while carrying a 9mm Beretta pistol, a .357 Magnum and a Remington shotgun in a guitar case.  Because, you know, riding a motorcycle wasn't dangerous enough as-is.  Oh, and West is averaging a career low 30% shooting from three-point range this season.

-Mike Brown's "offense": While the Cavs head coach continues to be a great defensive coach, his offensive sets remain head scratchers.  And that's putting it kindly.  Seven seasons into the LBJ era, the Cavs offense still consists primarily of LeBron over-dribbling three feet behind the three-point line until the shot clock winds down and he has to barrel his way to the rack one-on-four.

-Shaquille O'Neal's physique: In the final year of his contract (that will pay him just $20 million this season) and wanting to prove he can win one more ring, you'd think Shaq would have shown up in Miami-type shape this season.  You'd think.

Cavaliers Non-Stiffs

-LeBron James: Do I really need to explain why?  

-Mo Williams: In big-time games, Williams steps up.  In recent games at Phoenix, at Sacramento, at the Lakers, against Houston and a back-to-back with Atlanta, Williams scored 20 points all but one time and made a number of clutch shots when Cleveland needed them most (and again, if you've seen their offense trust me, they needed them!).

-Zydrunas Ilgauskas: With his minutes cut by more than six per game, The Big Z has kept his mouth shut and produced off the bench.  In fact, he regularly finishes games since Shaq can't be counted on to make a free throw in the fourth quarter (or the first three quarters for that matter).

perimeter defense

last season at denver the cavs shot the lights out from 3 point land. labron, west and ilgauskas were hitting outside shots. denver will need to play hack a shaq by committee when o’neal is in the game. look for denver to try and run on cleveland to score in transition.

Hack a Shaq??

That kind of play is not in GK’s “playbook” He made that perfectly clear last year. I personally think it’s brillant. Thats why petro, allen, and GK forbid balkman play him by commitee and use all 18 of their fouls, but that wont happen and tonight will be a 20plus point blowout.

If George Karl guards Shaq…

Shaq = Nonfactor

He will play well for ten minutes and then get winded at altitude. This game is going to be about containing Lebron (as always) and M. Williams, who has been playing lights out.

by Pusherman on Jan 8, 2010 8:45 AM MST reply actions  

Don't sleep on Delonte West ...

West is the “J.R. Smith” of this team. He’s more often than not cold as ice, but can heat up in a hurry.

Denver can’t afford to concentrate solely on Bron-Bron and Mo Williams because West is capable of getting hot and being the X-Factor. West has scoring games of 21, 18 and more recently of 17 on Dec. 29th vs. Atlanta and 14 in the Cavs last game against the Wizards on Jan. 6th.

I fear that Afflalo will be matched up on Williams and if Billups/Lawson can’t go much that West can get in a rhythm on A.C. if Carter doesn’t focus on him.

Definitely

Don’t sleep on DWest…He’s had his (well documented) off court problems and has really struggled in a few games, but any 6’3" guard who can and will repeatedly drive and dunk on guys who have 60+ pounds on him and are 6 or more inches taller has to be respected and played closely

Delonte

One of my favorite players to watch in the NBA. He’s also probably the funniest, next to the Big Diesel of course. I hope he’s overcome most of his problems. Those are some tough issues to deal with, especially being a public figure.

He's a PG with the size of a SG

He has crazy hops, and a weird red patch next to his lips…and it is not a lip tattoo. Definitely not. I don’t want to speculate, but he’s had it for a while

For a game without Melo vs. Lebron

I would rather just take the L and get Lawson, Billups and Melo right. Let them rest if we’re not going to compete.

Trap Game

I think this is a trap game for The Lebrons. Coming to Denver with rest, thinking the Nugs are shorthanded….Nugs show up and play hard in front of an amped up home crowd on national TV. Melo limps out of the locker room (a la Willis Reed) in the 4th to drop 20. It is going to be a close game.

Someone wake me up!

To see Melo suite up against Lebron and the Cavs. The Nuggets may have a chance with Billups back in the line-up.

He was on the bench when the team was in Utah.

I’m wondering if like a reader pointed out if it’s uncomfortable for his knee to be in those folding chairs and getting it bumped by teammates walking by or sitting down might not be so fun (would hate to have him get crashed into on a freak play and get re-injured). If being in the back getting treatment or just resting the knee will help him get back faster I don’t mind him not being on the bench.

No one is bashing

Just saying the dude isn’t a leader and that he needs to pass the ball and play in the flow of the offense. Nugs don’t win if their best offensive player only plays one on one (or two). Plus it is pretty weird that he isn’t sitting on the bench in his absense.

The Nuggets must have a PR person or persons

Why don’t they tell Ben Hochman from the DP where Melo is when he undoubtedly asks about Melo’s absence? Seems like nipping these kinds of things in the bud is PR’s job… It’s not like they have to explain the presence of guns in the locker room or anything like that.

by Artimus Mangilord on Jan 8, 2010 11:34 AM MST up reply actions  

Maybe the answer

..isn’t a very good one. I’m a huge Melo fan….and he should be on the bench.

It just seems to me like people are going out of their way

to FIND something to pick on Melo about. He was on the bench in Utah…In the grand scheme of things it’s fairly minor.

I asked several people "in the know" about Melo's absence...

…during Tuesday night’s game, and no one could give me a straight answer. I’m not looking for a reason to bash Melo, but given that Melo was out there for EVERY game he was hurt last season, this makes absolutely NO sense. I specifically asked about “getting treatment in the locker room” and was told that’s total bullshit. Note that Bird wasn’t out there, either.

Call me old school, but there’s no valid reason/excuse for Melo not to join his teammates on the bench for 3 hours a couple times a week. I won’t buy any excuse…

by Andrew Feinstein on Jan 8, 2010 1:08 PM MST up reply actions  

Did he have knee issues last season?

I don’t recall…If not, perhaps as others have pointed out..the sitting and the potential for him to get jostled, might outweigh the need for him to be on the bench.

I think considering all he does for the team, this can be overlooked.

100%...

Birdman should be out there, too. This is an across-the-board deal. If you’re hurt, wear a suit and support your teammates. I’ve heard that the “getting treatment in the locker room” excuse holds no water and it makes sense if you consider that…

a) the trainer (Jim Gillen) and fitness guru (Steve Hess) are with the team on the bench!

and

b) games are played at night. I assume they get treatment during the day.

It’s a joke. C’mon fellas, support your teammates!

that the Cavs just on Wednesday cut Coby Karl from their roster. I bet papa Karl is pissed and would really love to win tonight.

I doubt that even GK would have kept him on the roster..did a nice job in preseason making the team (nice shot, good hustle), but never shot the ball and turned it over almost once a minute when he did get in once the reg season started..I liked him for his hustle and never quit style of play

Cavs won't trade Ilgauskas for anybody

He survived through some nasty foot injuries and some extremely crappy Cavs teams, and is a saint to many Cavs fans. Why would them trade him for another SG with some off-court problems?

That being said, why would we do that when we know that Z will either retire or rejoin the Cavs at the end of the season?

I have my AC remote with me

However, I doubt it would do any defense.

By the way, Karl should really stop using AC. It’s like 5 degrees outside during game time.

guard rotation

now would be the time to start earl smith. look for billups to do a replay of the blazer game. chauncey will only play the first half. if nene is out they will need rebounding from someplace. graham will see time at shooting guard without lawson in the game and smith playing limited minutes at the point.

I hate these 8:30 starts

will the national media ever realize we are not on pacific time but instead on mountain..yes that exists. Why start an east coast game at 6(so 8 at the game location) and then our game at 8:30 espn? Because starting games at 5 and 7:30 makes too much sense? Not that I go to bed anywhere near the time the game will end but I hate waiting this damn long for it to start.

wow ayy great ass win

having chauncey makes everything so much easier for every1 else… also JR was in the center of all our shots in the end of the game… i like it, also made more clutch free throws…

JR? I mean I'm just confused

how can one play worse than AC and then suddenly be the clutchest player alive? Luckily he stepped it up, that’s the reason that I’m not one of those “trade JR” proponents, because he can do that. Still play better consistently next time.

I actually do wonder if he really is a little bipolar...

it would explain a whole lot about his behavior

Definitely don't go out there.

But call the police if it sounds violent.

by holly96 on Jan 8, 2010 11:32 PM MST up reply actions  

JR 4/4 free throws and a team leading +9

Despite shooting 30% and 5 turnovers. It’s baffling but we cannot trade JR

by runningdonut on Jan 8, 2010 11:29 PM MST reply actions  

Great Game.....I get too emotional so I don't come in the game threads

but I gotta say that 3 by JR was CLUTCH….great hitting free throws at the end.

I hope we see more of THIS JR.

So to put this in perspective

this same cavs team beat the Lakers by 15 in LA, we beat them without Melo and Ty(and Chauncey played less then he will with a few games under his belt). Now the Lakers lose to the clips and blazers while we look like a tough squad again. Hope has arisen within me again.

When the Nuggets play like they played tonight they can beat anyone

Especially since they didn’t have Melo and Lawesome…

I shouldn’t have said run the table. But here comes the NBA finals!

by CombatChuk on Jan 8, 2010 11:49 PM MST up reply actions  

I hear what you're saying

also…

Melo….on the bench. Let’s not hear any more about that mmmmmkay?

I'm quickly shoveling my words back into my mouth about JR.

Guy has hit FOUR clutch free throws in two games.

Cannot believe the Nuggets won without Melo vs. a full-strength Cavs team. Incredible.

Swats.

by Colin Neilson on Jan 8, 2010 11:50 PM MST reply actions  

The Cavs have the same problems they did last year in the playoffs

They play good defense, but more than half their lineup can’t score. That and Mike Brown isn’t what you would call a “good” coach.

wow what a game

kenyon continues to live up to half the value of his max contract, but i believe earl’s late unconscious three was the difference

by Dr. Jre on Jan 9, 2010 12:18 AM MST reply actions  

Yup

Agree 100%. JR was huge. Unbelievable shot. K-Mart was great. What a great, great win. Dear Nuggets, please dig deep and find some way of bringing just enough of that to Sacto tomorrow to pull out a big road win.

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.
