Game 36 Preview & Thread: Nuggets vs. Cavaliers (8:30pm MST)
Cleveland Cavaliers at Denver Nuggets, Jan 8, 2010 8:30 PM MST
You 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.
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.

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.
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.
Denver Stiffs.com: Defending the sovereignty of Nuggets Nation.
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.
Swats.
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!
I was thinking a Willis Reed styled entrance at some point as well. Total Showmen!
Denver Stiffs.com: Defending the sovereignty of Nuggets Nation.
me too
Not sure Melo’s on that level yet though, especially in terms of what he means to team chemistry
Would be nice...
To see Melo suite up against Lebron and the Cavs. The Nuggets may have a chance with Billups back in the line-up.
It would be nice...
…to at the very least see Melo wearing a suit and sitting on the bench beside his teammates. Am I the ONLY one who thinks this is really weird and a sign of poor leadership?!

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.

well...
We have certainly seen Melo on the bench dressed in street clothes before, so there has to be a good reason as Nate theorizes.

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.
willing passer and determined rebounder
the past 3 games denver has scored 105, 105 and 123 points without melo. now that teams are double and triple teaming him he needs to adjust his game.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
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.

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…

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.

I don't think so
How many times have you seen dudes with major injuries at least sitting behind their teamates in suites? What Melo is doing is total bullshit if you ask me and adds to the selfish persona he has made for himself.
I just want to know where Melo is
If he is in the training room icing up, fine, just tell us.

Awkward smile….fade to black.
Thanks Mattress King.
FYI – has anyone ever visited Bird’s facebook page? I’m not really into that sort of thing but I was tryting to confirm the Mattress King thing.
His interests are: Basketball, meditation, mind expanding substances in a consequence free environment.
No kidding. That’s funny, and a little scary given his history.
Lol
Mind expanding substances in a consequence free environment? Never heard that name for shrooms/acid before. That’s a good one though. Thanks Bird.
If Andersen didn't have that drug past
Then it’d be funny. But I am a small bit worried. If Stern sees that, he’ll automatically run an investigation into it.

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!

what is the difference between what melo is doing and what brandon roy does with portland. during the national anthem he leaves the floor. i am with you. be with your teammate in solidarity.

Good point
Roy doesn’t want to hear the national anthem, but is eager to get a spot on the USA roster.
Is it a perk (for both of them), or is it more?

Maybe
melo is getting treatment on that knee during the game? Maybe, just maybe sitting on the bench is not the best thing for that hurt knee?
Need to keep leg elevated to reduce swelling?
If there is no good reason, though, he should be out there.
Does Melo have a twitter account. Can someone just ask him directly?
I thought they were banned from tweeting....?

They’re banned from the time +/- three hours from the time the game is going on.

Interesting story on Cleveland SB blog
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.
BTW: is the guy who writes for the Cavs’ site the same John Bena who runs the MileHighReport SB site for the Denver Broncos?
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
as far as the Cavs blogger…I think it is the same guy since the Christmas greeting to Cavs fans at FTS was “From all of us at MHR”

I see your little logo is the retro logo
are Cavs wearing their retro unis anymore. They’re pretty cool.
And it is the same John Bena.
not sure if they’re wearing the near original gold with wine trim/number much lately, but they were sporting a really sharp looking Wine with a white and gold trim/number with the “ball and net” logo from the 90s against the Wizards

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?

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.

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.

with the game Monday in Denver? No need for two plane flights just to be there for moral support when he can rest at home. I sure hope no one bitches about that.

From the sound of it there seem to be a lot of Cav "fans" there
surely they couldn’t be bandwaggoning or anything, Cleveland has always been a huge market…

I'm never confident when KMart shoots the ball
Better than AC though; when AC shoots, I am totally confident…that he will miss and it will lead to an easy transition bucket for the opposing team

Shaq really is becoming useless
we are dominating inside, at least on the offensive end, with him in there.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
ESPN just showed Mike Brown's career winning percentage.
it’s really funny
Almost end of the 1st
He got subbed out the same time as Nene, so…I don’t think it was that. Didn’t do anything badly i noticed.
This game feels so...out of control
High scoring with lots of 3’s and lots of aggressive plays
Gotta love how Graham is playing.
we are in desperate need after all these injuries of somebody new stepping up in our rotation with some solid contributions. It’s good to see it coming from him
Definitely, he's showing a lot of confidence
for a guy who was a benchwarmer just a couple weeks ago

Lebron traveled
he can’t believe it, well he is a superstar after all.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Wow...
Now a Birdman jumper…who cares if they can hit it occasionally, it’s just bad shot selection. We don’t need all 3 of our bigs to be jump shooters.
ESPN commentators
“Anthony Carter…very valuable to this Nuggets roster…”
wait what?
They did about 1 second of homework on the Nugs bench
they needed to spend 4 hours preparing to drool all over Lebron.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Very nice Q
I expect Lebron to get it going soon but so far he’s been shut down mostly.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
he’s been starting slow (for him) lately and piling up points in the third and/or fourth quarters…but he’s not getting the assists that he usually does when he isn’t scoring

ok, decent start but why does kenyon shoots above the key, sticks to yer strengths k-mart jam it home
Not just K-Mart
ALL of our bigs. They seem content to take jumpers after 5 secs go by on the shot clock.
I love how kmart wasn't anywhere near the basket at first
And then he literally flies past everyone and slams it
Crazy, awesome, and if he can do that I will take a missed jumper here and there anytime.
by Uh on Jan 8, 2010 9:15 PM MST up reply actions
I don't mind it here and there
Like i said, he’s capable of making it occasionally, but its a mindset thing when he’s taking the first open look he gets 5 seconds into the shot clock. THAT, is the problem.
K-MART IS A BADASS
give him a bit of freedom on the shot selection. he’s playing great all over the court
Honestly
We need the rest of the team to stop bailing J.R. out. No point in even talking about trading him if this keeps up…he makes clutch free throws to draw away from his 21 points on 20 shots night, and now K-Mart’s ridiculous putback drawing away from that TERRIBLE shot selection by J.R.
What
You want Kmart to not hustle and go after that offensive putback? Just to “teach JR a lesson”?
by Uh on Jan 8, 2010 9:16 PM MST up reply actions
Yeah I rather the team bail him out and the team win then not and them lose
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
I'd take that but you were talking about when he isn't
unfortunately I’m almost over hoping JR will step it up consistently eventually.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
No
What I WANT is J.R. to get his shit together. Although, that brings up another point, can someone keep track of how many times either Kenyon or Bird DOESN’T leap to try get a putback? Can’t imagine it’s a terribly high number.
JR with a sick around the back dribble
then ruins it by stepping back and missing the shot instead of driving to the lane.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Wanted to tell his countrymen
that he is the best Brazilian in the league?

Why does Nene have only one rebound?
Serious question. Could someone tell me I have no TV where I am. Following here and Box Score on line.
Ty isn't in the game feeding him
to get him jump started in momentum
Yeah, I can imagine that.
Ty does seem to do that for Nene.
Ty's +/- is one of the better ones on the team

GK should take a page out of the Blazers playbook

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.

JR 4/4 free throws and a team leading +9
Despite shooting 30% and 5 turnovers. It’s baffling but we cannot trade JR
Watch out for the Blizzard
he didn’t dog out JR
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.

I think in February when everyone gets healthier we'll get hot again
And run the table in the playoffs!
run the table...dang you have to be the MOST optimistic fan ever
Dear Rockies-Thank you for a wonderful season! Best turnaround in MLB history to become NL Wild Card Champs.
Troy Tulowitzki-MLB's BEST shortstop..nuff said
Garrett Atkins-So Long, Farewell, Auf weidersehen, Goodbye!! You were a great Rockie!
Yorvit Torrealba-Thank you for your clutchiness, en fuegoness and 2 point take down of Matt Kemp!
Brad Hawpe- I hope I get to see you in a Rockies uniform again!
Dexter Fowler - prowling CF, WC in his talons, leaping Utleys in a single bound!
I was just going to say the same thing...lol

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!
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.
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
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.
