Denver Nuggets at Memphis Grizzlies, Mar 13, 2010 6:00 PM MST
It's too bad the Nuggets wont be playing at home on St. Patty's Day, or at all on March 17th, because we'd maybe get to see some more green uniforms. Well, the Nuggets are playing this evening in Memphis, the Saturday before St. Patty's, or as it's commonly known ... the party day. Enjoy your green beer and car-bombs* and hopefully a big Nuggets road win.
The particulars ...
Records:
Opposition's Take: Straight Outta Vancouver
Denver: 44-21 (28-5 at home, 16-16 on the road)
Memphis: 35-31 (20-14 at home, 15-17 on the road)
Denver current streak: Won 5. They are 7-3 in their last 10 games.
Memphis current streak: Won 3. They are 6-4 in their last 10 games.
Injuries:
Denver: Ty Lawson (left shoulder contusion) and Kenyon Martin (left knee tendinitis) are both out tonight. Renaldo Balkman (mid-back strain) did not make the road trip with the team and may have had surgery on his back ... looking to confirm.
Memphis: Ronnie Brewer (partially torn right hamstring) is listed as day-to-day. Steven Hunter (sore left knee) is out.
Andrew often likes to remark about fights not being fair when one team is coming off a back-to-back, he has even gone as far as saying perhaps fans should get a "refund" for having to pay for such lopsided contests. Well, what would he have to say about tonight's game where both teams are coming in off a back-to-back?
Well, Andrew has been working with Denver Stiffs reader Chris Chan on an upcoming back-to-backs piece for SB Nation and shared this statistic with me:
During the 2009-10 NBA season, when both teams are coming in for the second of a back-to-back game, the home team wins 57.3% of the time.
So, if you want to take the statistical approach, the Nuggets only have a 42.7% chance of winning tonight's game. Count me among those glad that this game wont be determined on paper, but rather with sheer will and hopefully good passing and shooting for Denver.
The Grizzlies played at home last night against the New York Knicks and won the game 119-112. The Grizzlies sit just outside the playoff race in the dreaded #9 slot, right behind the Portland Trail Blazers. Can the Grizzlies catch the Blazers and make their first post-season season appearance sans Pau Gasol? They'll need to catch fire the rest of the way and that means stealing some wins at home against good teams ... teams like the Denver Nuggets.
The only catch for Memphis? The Nuggets can't afford to drop any games down the stretch as they are trying to keep pace with the red-hot Dallas Mavericks for the #2 seed. So, while each team might be a little tired after playing last night, neither can afford to play the back-to-back excuse card.
Memphis is one of the few teams that I haven't got to see play much this season. Zach Randolph's play has been lauded quite a bit this season, as well as Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol. O.J. Mayo has flown a little bit under the radar for the Grizzlies with his newfound team play, but he's still averaging 17.5 points and 3.1 assists for the Grizz.
Memphis has a pretty potent starting five, but the team doesn't really have much of a bench and as we've seen in Denver ... the bench can make all the difference. When your bench rotation features Marcus Williams, Sam Young, DeMarre Carroll, Darrell Arthur, Hamed Haddadi and rookie NBA-DL call up Hasheem Thabeet (poking a little fun at the #2 overall pick) it's easy to see why your starters average 36.5 minutes per game (with Mike Conley averaging the least minutes at 31.5 and Zach Randolph logging the most at 39.7 mpg). In comparison the Nuggets starting five average 33.4 minutes per game and we all know Denver used a very tight 8-man rotation until K-Mart's recent injury.
So if Memphis misses out on the playoffs this season it could very well be because of their lack of depth. Add a few pieces in the offseason and the Grizzlies could be a very dangerous team.
Danger would be a good word to describe this game as noted above, neither team can afford to drop many games the rest of the way. So, even though both teams are coming off a back-to-back, I expect this game to be a dogfight. Hopefully the Luck of the Irish will be with the Nuggets ... even if it's a little early and I'll cheers my car-bomb to that!

oops
You should probably change the score of last nights Grizzlies game to a win, 119-112…I was waiting for a joke of some sort and realized you probably wrote most of this column before the game was over…hehe.
I'm happy Memphis is back-to-backing as well
It will make things fair and give the Nuggets no excuse for playing flat. While the Griz are playing at home, they had to travel farther than the Nuggets.
If the Nuggets don’t win easy against a non-playoff team, I’m going to be grumpy. Denver has to use this to get over .500 on the road. There is no reason for Denver not to go 4-0 on this road trip.
Man, it is beautiful outside. Gotta like that.

Another thing...
Denver’s next back to back is immediately after this one. After taking Sunday off, the Nuggets finish the road trip with a stop in Houston and come home to face that Wizards on Tuesday. Denver will playing playing it’s fourth game in five days. Poor Nuggs.
The good news? Washington will be playing their fifth game in six days. And playing at altitude. It will once again be a match-up of exhausted teams, with the Nuggets clearly being favored here.
There is no reason this team shouldn’t continue to win despite this grueling part of the schedule. Should. Could. But, knowing these Nuggs, they could content themselves to play uninspired .500 ball. Take your pick.

Wizards 5th game in 7 nights not 6
It’s against the CBA to play 3 nights in a row
Look it up
The Wizards had to reschedule a game because of the snowpacalypse in DC in February.

my bad it just didnt sound right
the wizards play in UTAH on monday night so they will have rubber leg syndrome in the 2nd half of our game
that's crazy. never heard of it.
can’t believe the nba hasn’t given that one to the nugs

These back to back games
Should really show us how much the Nuggets want that Title. It’s unfair that they have two back to back games in the week, but it is what it is. They can’t afford to lose any of these games, but if they lose one, I won’t be too upset… unless they lose to the Wizards at home.
Tonight's game
will be won or lost on the Nugs bench. They should own the Grizzles reserves.

This looks
like one of those games we should win, but end up being blown out, I still have hopes our nugs can get the win and get our road winning % above .500 for the season.
I'm terrified of this game
Hopefully the Nugs will put my fears to rest. It sure would be nice if any of our back-to-backs were both home games.
But then the other teams' back-to-backs would be roadies here
And David Stern would hate that, right?

another step up for the front line
last time denver played at memphis randolph went off for more than 30 points and 20 rebounds. the big men will be tested on the perimeter with zach’s 3 point shooting range. this will be another game cb1 has a clear advantage at the point in terms of height, strength and experience. the ok city game denver had only three 3 point shot attempts in the first half. chauncey decides to be stupid and lazy taking too many outside jump shots o.j. mayo and rudy gay will make denver pay with transition scoring. rebounding, executing the half court offense and more rebounding will be keys to winning this game. poor guard play with turnovers and too many jump shots like last game will result in denver getting blown out.

Have we won a the second of a back to back on the road
since the Portland game way in the beginning of the season?
Just once
At the beginning of November the Nuggets beat the Pacers and New Jersey Nets on consecutive nights.

Yeah...
There were a couple of games where Denver won on the road the second night of a back to back. I was thinking Marga was asking strictly about back-to-back road games. Those games the first night was at Denver, so it is a slightly different scenario. I was unclear. Sorry.
Member: 10-man rotation for deep playoff push advocacy group
I think the key to this game...
…Is that JR’s fingers don’t leave his hands.
And that the Nuggets continue to make the extra pass.

I have a feeling this is going to become the newest DS meme
I need to find the post that started this fingers leaving the hand nonsense. Sure is funny though.

Here it is
look at where smith lands AFTER he dunks
had he not dunked the ball smith would have landed out of bounds. the most amazing part of the dunk was his fingers never left his hands.

This should be a close game
I expect it to come down to the final 2 minutes, both teams are tired, and I think that the keys to winning will be having our bench outperform the much weaker Memphis bench, because I have a feeling the Nuggets starts save for maybe Petro will be tired.

NOT A SINGLE COMMENT!!!!!
OH wait their is 1…..
Its odd..
Some blogs are completely empty and some have many interesting fanposts, blogs, and articles such as on here and a few others, mainly for teams that have a realistic shot at getting into the playoffs at this point.
BlazersEdge has gotta be on of the busiest
Golden State of Mind is also extremely busy for a lottery team. Of course, how many people that live in Memphis actually know that they have an NBA team and not just the Memphis Tigers?

If the Nuggets score more than 100 points and keep their opponent to less than 100 points, I believe that they have a pretty darn good chance of winning the game…it worked yesteraday in Nawleans!

Ugly quarter.
But we had those against Minnesota and New Orleans. No sense in getting worried. One thing Denver does well is close out the important fourth quarter.

Memphis is better than those others
this one always looked like the most probable loss on the roadie and nothing the Nugs did in the first is assuring me I’m incorrect.

Problem is...
It could be like that Atlanta game at the beginning of the season, where we fall behind early, but tell ourselves that we’ll dig ourselves out later. However, we got down by over 20 at the half, and there was NO EFFORT INVOLVED.

It’s about time the defensive intensity rose a level or two. The refs have been nothing short of awful tonight. I count at least a half a dozen plays that contributed to Grizzly points. That’s 12, so naturally the Nugs would be up by 21.

you have to wonder
if this road warrior version of the nugs we’ve seen the last few days has to do with AD demanding good effort every night. GK always seemed to enable crappy road performances-remember his “great success” quote about going .500 away.
by Rainbow skyline on Mar 13, 2010 8:32 PM MST reply actions
that quote came at the start of the season
denver’s first roard trip of the years was 6 games that had 3 back to back games. that quote has been taken out of context ever since. remember smith was suspended, ac was starting and denver had 4 new players on a 13 player roster.

I was trying to make the point that even though these were regular refs
that it was a pathetic effort. How many extra possessions did Memphis get in that first half? There were three back-to-back-to-back ball out-of-bounds calls to the Grizz that should have gone to the Nuggs (two weren’t even close). Throw in the “clear path” foul that wasn’t and the Grizz had 4 extra possessions in about 2 minutes of play.
Then there were the non-calls and the make-up calls for both teams…
At one point Afflalo had taken about 5 steps with the ball and there was no travelling call, he passes to Nene, who hands the ball right back and the whistle blows for travelling on Afflalo. It was obvious that the ref was calling it from 10 seconds earlier…
And seriously, how many travelling calls did they miss? There were 3 times where a player skid a foot (Bird twice, and Mayo), Afflalo had some steps, Gasol did a 360 shuffle…
And what about Gasol grabbing the rim with one hand while “dunking” with the other?
Seriously, this was BAD!!!

Memphis Grizzlies "3 shades of Blue" link
Not related to the game (which was fun), but wanted to mention to Nate or Andrew that one of the links to a Memphis blog leads to some weird site. Looks to be a foreign gambling site.

It's hilarious to read the Mavs' Game Thread Blog Comments...

Scroll down to the latter half of the page and you get nothing but “What the **** is this ****???” responses. All kinds of LOL-worthy.

But remember, Brendan Haywood and Caron Butler combined for like 12 points and 6 rebounds on terrible shooting percentages
Haywood is the new Dampier. Please, Mark Cuban, sign this guy to a 5 year, 60 million deal.

March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Which hand?
He is right-handed, right? I’d feel better if the injury was one his non-swatting hand.

You know Nate and Drew are behind when both Nuggdoctor and Roundball update before the Stiffs
No offense to our esteemed sister blogs, but they haven’t exactly been on the ball with updates this season.
Swats.
Andrew writes his recaps very quickly...
which is great…but Nate is slooooow. Usually, though, he at least gets them out the next day. Youre slaking Nate… I hope youre not buried under something heavy and cant get up.
