Nuggets at Thunder: More than miles divide this rivalry... (6pm MST)

Denver Nuggets at Oklahoma City Thunder, Feb 19, 2012 6:00 PM MST


30-plus games into the 2011-12 lockout season, it's clear that the Oklahoma City Thunder are leaps and bounds ahead of our Denver Nuggets. And with the Nuggets still beset by injuries, winning at Oklahoma City on Sunday night will be no easy feat.

Star-divide

Game: 32

Records:
Denver:
17-14 (9-7 on the road)
Streak: Lost 2
Oklahoma City: 23-7 (11-1 at home)
Streak: Won 1

Injuries:
Denver
: Timofey Mozgov (left ankle sprain) is probable. Danilo Gallinari (left ankle sprain) is out. Nene Hilario (left calf strain) is questionable.
Oklahoma City: Eric Maynor (torn ACL) is out. Thabo Sefolosha (right foot soreness) is out. Kendrick Perkins (right knee contusion) is day-to-day. Russell Westbrook (sprained right ankle) is probable.

Television: ESPN and Altitude 2

Season Series: 0-0

Opposition's Take: Daily Thunder

With the Carmelo Anthony Era in Denver appearing further and further in our collective rear view mirrors (and seeing Melo's current team, the Knicks, rack up win after win without him) there's not much to miss about not having Melo around. With one exception.

Melo owned the Oklahoma City Thunder. And without him, the Thunder now own the Nuggets.

With Melo on board, the Nuggets were 8-2 against the Thunder (since the franchise relocated to Oklahoma City from Seattle in 2008). Since Melo's departure, the Nuggets are 1-6 against their neighboring state rivals, including last year's playoffs when the Thunder won in five games. Granted, the Nuggets were a few suspect calls away from making that playoff series more competitive, but even die-hard Nuggets fans must admit that the Thunder out-muscled, out-rebounded and out-energy'd the Nuggets in that series.

Entering the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season, many thought that the Nuggets and Thunder were two of the few teams best positioned to fight through a brutal 66-game schedule in 120 days. The theory being that both teams had the three things a team needs to survive this season: youth, height and depth. And yet 30-plus games into this squirrely season, and with both teams beset by injuries to key players, the Thunder have been able to survive handsomely while the Nuggets are treading water.

Of course, it helps when Kevin Durant plays on your team. The reigning scoring champ has seen his points per game drop a bit, but he his averaging career highs in field goal percentage, rebounds, assists and blocks and is giving LeBron James a run for the league MVP award. Proving once again that the NBA is a star-driven league, Durant's Thunder boast the Western Conference's second-best home record and the league's second-best overall record.

In the Thunder's lone home loss, on January 3rd to the Portland Trail Blazers, the Thunder were playing the second of a back-to-back and their third game in four nights. The Blazers took advantage of this by holding Durant to just 19 points on 8-26 shooting, the Thunder overall to just 25% shooting from three-point range and a mere 93 points. Like Denver, the Thunder win games by scoring north of 100 points.

Unfortunately for the Nuggets, they won't be catching the Thunder on a back-to-back or on their third game in four days. The Thunder last played Friday night, at home, and have been in Oklahoma City since Thursday morning. In that Friday game - against the lowly Golden State Warriors - the Thunder easily took care of the Warriors despite having no Kendrick Perkins, no Thabo Sefolosha, a previously ill Durant and losing all-star guard Russell Westbrook to a sprained ankle late in the third quarter. Compare that to Denver's outing against the Warriors 11 days ago in Denver when the Nuggets allowed the Warriors to walk all over them, (even with Nene in the game for Denver) and you can't blame Nuggets fans for lacking confidence heading into Sunday night's game.

To their credit, the Nuggets finally showed some mettle in Friday's thriller at Memphis ... just two days removed from showing no mettle whatsoever at Dallas.

So which Nuggets team will show up at Oklahoma City on Sunday? The one that overcame a horrendous first half at Memphis to almost win that game? Or the one that allowed the Thunder to muscle them around in the playoffs last year?

SCOUTING THE THUNDER

Thunder Non-Stiffs

-Kevin Durant: Simply put, Durant is one of the top-three players in the NBA right now alongside LeBron James and Derrick Rose.

-James Harden: I thought the Nuggets' Al Harrington had a great shot at winning the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award ... until I looked closer at Harden's production off the bench. With numbers like Harden's 17.0 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 3.5 apg - combined with the Thunder's winning ways - Harden is likely a lock for the award.

-Serge Ibaka: Ibaka has become the NBA's blocks leader with 3.0 per game and is an exceptionally efficient offensive player, as well.

Thunder Stiffs

-Russell Westbrook: When your team is 11-1 at home and holds the NBA's second-best overall record, you aren't going to find too many Stiffs. And playing-wise, Westbrook certainly isn't one. But his incessant whining with the referees and reckless play haven't garnered him any respect from Nuggets fans.

-Kendrick Perkins: Speaking of getting no respect from Nuggets fans, Perkins almost killed one after Game 4 in Denver last year and yet somehow didn't get a suspension from the league for his post-game actions.

FINAL THOUGHT

The NBA schedule makers screwed the Nuggets (shocking) by scheduling two of the Nuggets' three games versus the Thunder in Oklahoma City, but the Nuggets must make the most of it and steal one of these two games on the road to regain some confidence on the road.

Not feeling optimistic.

Afflalo needs to show up. Al needs to show up, or his minutes need to get cut dramatically, as they were on Friday. He was great for the Nuggets for about a month, now he looks like he’s got nothing left in the tank. Those 2, along with Miller in the first half on Friday, were the 3 who were a big part of burying the Nuggets early.

It won’t matter if Faried, Brewer & Andersen all show up and bring the same effort they did in Memphis and 6 of the first 7 in the rotation play like trash.

Ya birds been playing well..

So let’s trade him. That ticks me off. Everone on this team has been inconsistent or hurt. But for some reason it’s bird who’s the problem. Bull, why can’t Karl rake some blame? Faired should be in the starting line up or at least the rotation when that charmin nene is “hurt” wink wink. Sorry for the rant but I just don’t get how this team is so talented and the best we can do is possible trade bird? How about putting a foot in the coach’s ass first befor you mess with the roster

Sick and tired of the Nene bashing

Its a joke. Hes one of our best players. He bangs down low with the big dogs like a big man should. Not like Harrington who thinks hes a guard. Nothing more frustrating than playing with a big man who wants to play like a guard. Nene bangs down low and plays hard.NBA players get injured sometimes. Let the guy heal. We need him. People who call Nene soft have no idea what they are talking about. Period.

So, you're saying that he's not really injured, or that he

won’t do any more damage if he plays? I don’t get that. Also, it is my opinion that it was due to him playing before his heel injury was full healed that led to the calf strain. I also don’t have any inside information to back this up.

Finally, you continue to downplay his injury in your language (hurt, ailment) as if it’s something he just has to push through. If you don’t have any inside information, then don’t speak as if you do. I’ll leave it to the Nuggets Dr’s, Trainers and, yes, Nene to decide when he can play without risk of further injury. I would rather have him miss a few games now so that we can have him fully healthy later.

look we cant know whats up with Nene but

I think there’s a better chance that Nene has played when he souldnt have than he’s not playing when he should be

And, frankly there is no great rush to get Nene in there becase a subpar Nene isnt going to help us beat our next few opponents anyway. Nene is a cog, a good cog but a cog nonetheless.

When we have Moz and Gallo back, we wont even need Nene as much but he will complete our front line and make us formidable.

Until then suck it up, thank God for the all star break because otherwise Feb is shaping up to be brutal

I did call out Nene in a way the other night b/c I felt that playing one night and sitting out another was bad for the team. In the comments I suggested he sit out for a month or so to heal up instead of being in and out of the lineup. Glad to see he’s taking more time off, but I’m worried he’ll be sitting a lot all season.

I can’t question his injury, like others suggest I have no clue how bad it is, but I will question why he’s allowed to be in and out of the lineup so often, seems bad for the team. I guess if you feel good one day and bad the next it’s hard to not play. Frustrating though.

might be best to keep out Nene until Gallo joins team. They’ll both be health (?) and beastin

This a crazy, frustrating season

but I still think losing Melo will ultimately be a blessing in disguise.

Every team needs people who can jump-start the team when it’s in a funk, and carry the scoring load when others are cold. But to win a championship, it is crucial for these stars to play team ball, focus on defense and create comraderie – more important than scoring 25+ ppg.

How do the stars stack up in this light? Durant? Yes; Rose? Yes; LBJ? Yes; Melo? No; Monta? No.

Gallo? I still say Yes. Ty? Next year. In the meantime, OKC is the better team, and IMO going all the way. It certainly would be satisfying to burn them on their court.

3 sessions arent enough, and I'm not an "analyst"

and most Melo fans would be OK if I said that Melo felt great about Lin’s success

But based on watching Melo over 7 yrs, a dozen interviews, print media, my opinion is that Melo is not team oriented and is very concerned with how he appears in the pantheon of stars.

That doesnt mean I’m an expert on Melo, or that Melo is a bad guy. Melo is not a bad guy just has poor basketball values.

Does my background entitle me to claim some specialness in this opinion? No. I’ve been wrong plenty of times. But based on my experience, education and long standing interest, my educated opinion should be considered, agree or not.

And Cat, I still appreciate Melo fans coming to his defense because THAT is a good value to demonstrate.

But I disliked his game so much while he was on Denver that I only watched Nug games in which I had interest in the other team so for me, so there is no particular reason for me to demonstrate any magnanimity towards Melo (his game, not as a person outside of court)

by sgiustra on Feb 19, 2012 4:20 PM MST up reply actions  

and, no one ever could have thought we'd be good

with our best/most valuable players out. And there’s really no way to have predicted that

But if you want to watch the Knicks, this is the time because Lin is ballin’ & JR contributing and Melo out

by sgiustra on Feb 19, 2012 12:14 PM MST up reply actions  

don't what to to expect out of this team anymore

Not sure what or who motivates this team on a regular basis. For years it has been about getting the “right” players for the money which we seems to be achieving now with more competent front office. The scary thing is even with the 15-7 start there were games left on the table that would have made the current stretch bearable, this team could have been within a game of OKC even with the 5 game losing streak. They lost some close games that didn’t have to come down to poorly drawn up AND executed close to last second heaves. Injuries happen and is it just me but teams without the depth we have seem to be weathering their injuries better than the Nuggets are. We seem to live and die with the fastbreak and 3pt’ers, but miss layups too much, can’t hit FT’s, and not many guys on this team can hit at 15ft or less jumper with any consistency. We’re at the point where the coaching of this team from the top down to the assistants needs to be scrutinized. The Nuggets need to do it Dallas style and get some old school coaches on the bench to get these players back to basics of defense, rebounding, and teach halfcourt offense principles to use more efficiently when the run and gun isn’t working.

I don’t care about the Melo trade. That dude is long gone. What we have to work with now is what is more interesting; namely, Mozgov and Kufos.

I’m not emotional about who gets to play, I want the best guy out there and I think it’s Kufos.

I just brought up the trade because Moz was the one holding it up. That’s all. i don’t give a shit about melo

Moz is much better at defending the lane and altering shots. Moz really helps on the pick and roll defense much more than Koufos

You are right, that's the only way we could win because OKC is clicking and we need to as well to beat them.

That being said, I think Nuggets need to factor in things like can we even beat OKC without our starters and if not, why kill everyone. I think it would be kind of funny to start Faried, Bird, Jham, Stone and Miller.

Looks like the Knicks have become my second favorite team

I went to a nerd school (MIT) and their starting backcourt has two players from nerd schools(Harvard and Stanford).
Of course they have JR Smith too.
If the Nuggets keep playing like shit I may have to jump ship. Karl makes no adjustments though he has the talent, it is just infuriating and I would rather follow a fun team than the excuses Karl brings. The main person on the Nuggets who needs to get his shit together is Karl.

It’s not like he is the third leading scorer per game and second leading rebounder per game. Its not like he’s scored more points or grabbed as many rebounds as anyone else on the team…Oh wait.
It’s like Andrew said, if Harden wasn’t having such a huge year he’d have a real good shot at winning 6th man.

by TheMozgovCocktail on Feb 19, 2012 2:16 PM MST up reply actions  

lol...too tired from being old to argue much.

so let me sum up. JR played engaged basketball today. When he does so, he’s solid on D, and has the ability to be electrifying on O. It is exactly what I expected of him in his first game back in the states with a new team. that does not mean it will continue (I hope it does, as he’s a joy to watch when engaged). Way too soon to judge however. AAA has not been the player we wanted/hoped when he signed the contract. But, he in the past has shown an incredible work ethic, and the ability to let the past go and concentrate on the future. Again, way too soon to judge.

Just don't hold on to the damn basketball!!!

by Russscot on Feb 19, 2012 2:20 PM MST up reply actions  

I guess nothing is guaranteed but death and taxes

But you get the sense that AAA will be more that guy who scored 20+ points for 4 games and played tenacious defense.
Vs the one who gets tired and shoots short.
It is kinda like Joakim Noah with the contract. It’s a head thing and I think that can be corrected especially with a smarter guy like AAA.

Gotta love the haterz. Keep that hate a comin'

AAA has always seemd like a standup guy.

He’s not all flash and ooh look at me I’m a bazillionaire now. At least he doesn’t strike me as that kind of guy. The question is, wtf is the deal. Doesn’t seem like its physical so maybe he needs a vacation or something. I don’t know what but I can’t imagine him staying this way forever.

If one who wasn't familiar with the Nuggets were to read Denver Stiffs recently

and go by the comments, they would most likely conclude

Wilson Chandler has mythical, team-saving game

and

JR Smith was the greatest Nuggets player since David Thompson.

It’s interesting the ebbs and flows of public opinion. If you were to take a poll after the Thunder series in the playoffs last season you would conclude that Wilson Chandler was a bum who didn’t bother to show up for the playorrs, and JR Smith was a talented and infuriating knucklehead who either played fantastic or was a complete tool.

I’m not bagging on you guys, I’m just chuckling at the complete 180 in opinion. And before someone says it, yes I’m aware JR has his fans…but if you read the comments after the series last year they were much more balanced than they are now.

But I will contend games 3 and 5 were lost when JR was sitting on the bench.
Oh and btw he and Gallo won us game 4.
So yes, I do miss JR and even when we had the lead with JR, Karl still tried to play the much worse Felton over him.
It was disgusting and offensive to me, probably worse for JR. He is thinking I am playing well, we have the lead, then coach takes me out and we start losing the lead.

Gallo has a severely sprained ankle that we were very fortunate wasn't a chip fracture as well

so I’d say that’s legit. Nene had a pre-existing injury that actually caused the calf strain. Probably best for him to sit out until he is better.

Its funny when someone posts complete love or hate about something they can't control.

I mean of course a non sports team thing they can’t control. The rest of it is just crazy!

Rebooting actually fixes a lot of temporary glitches

Seriously. Try it.

I know that's why I asked if you work with me.

“Hey my computer won’t work, froze, etc.”

IT Guy- “Did you reboot?”

Me- “Since that’s your answer for everything for the last 10 years yes I have.”

by ruralnugs on Feb 19, 2012 5:22 PM MST up reply actions  

But have you rebooted?

Nope.

FF works fine. I guess I’ll use it for now.

Can we get a good mobile site that refreshes for here so I can do game threads on my phone or Kindle?

I play piano in a rock band, had a gig this week

My electric keyboard crapped out mid-song and mid-set. We spent about 10 minutes between songs trying to get it to work, tried three different cables to the sound system, tried every channel on the board… Nothing was working.

Then I turned the keyboard off and back on and, of course, it worked.

Should have tried that first.

you have to give the IT guys a break

My sister worked as tech support once and there were a lot of times she gets stressed out. Some people are really just dumb with computers. I think that lady who thought the cd rom drive was a cup holder (and thus asked where the other one was) really pushed her to quit.

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.
