PrintIn last night's game against the Houston Rockets, Danilo Gallinari suffered what is now being called a, "severe ankle sprain" after undergoing a CT scan and MRI today. Apparently the chip fracture that was seen in X-ray's last night was from a previous injury, most likely suffered before Gallo embarked on his pro-playing career. Read Benjamin Hochman's full story here from the Denver Post.

I think this is one of the "better case" scenarios considering all the options from an ankle injury.
Hope Gallo can trim the recovery time to less than a month. Let’s pick up the slack, Nuggs!
It's good news
but it’s still could be a month. Who’s going to pick up the slack on the offensive end for this team?

I would like to think Lawson
But I don’t think Lawson is 100% either. Remember way back when we said we’d be fine without JR’s offense? Oops.

maybe the sight of Jason Terry on Wednesday
will bring back all those good feelings, and he’ll torch the Mavs
Speaking of difficult to spell names
There is apparently a woman on reality tv who spells her name Blakeley. It just looks wrong, and I’m pretty sure she only pronounces two of the three syllables there.

Keep in mind that, because of the All Star Break...Gallo may be only losing about 12 games
that should be a positive.

That's a positive Jeff
However we cannot afford to fall behind in the West. I just don’t think we have a solid scoring threat

But those twelve games are almost all against winning teams
difficult games. Going to be tough.

Awww, now the headline could have been
“Gallo could miss as little as one month” to give a positive spin!

Someone needs to hire you to write newspaper headlines:
“ROBBERS ONLY STEAL 90% OF THE CASH!”
“FIERY CRASH LEAVES SPARE TIRE UNDAMAGED, DRIVER WILL ONLY BE IN A COMA FOR 6 MONTHS!”

thanks for giving me a laugh. Really needed considering we are smoking towards 10 place in the WC.

well except that actually doesn't mean the same thing
and means something worse than the original headline.
i keep dancing on my own.
But the interpretation by seeing little

But, for optimists Cat & Jeff
Yeah it could have been worst. Also we do have guys in Gallos position that could take up slack. Thats not my real concern.
The real issue is the number of injuries to so many important players. I’ve never seen anything like it.
I used to have sympathy for Trailblazers losing a couple of their stars but geez its easier to make up for 1 or 2 great losses than 4, 5, 6 important losses.
Yes I’m feeling sorry for us.
Frankly, I’m also annoyed at anyone (like at RBM) who write "injuries arent an excuse. Yes, but up to a point.
This many injuries doesnt entitle you to constantly whine but who can seriously believe that the number of manpower games we will lose in the 1st two months wont mean that we’re often fielding a very poor team?
I cant imagine a team that could withstand the injuries and plow forward. What makes it worst yet is that any fall back is particularly hard to make up for in the Western C.
“If it wurent fur bad luck, weed hafv no luck atull.”
So sad!
Poor Nuggets.
Would really like to see some Wilson Chandler now.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
Chauncey is out for the year
sad day for him and the clippers. mixed feelings on this as i miss the guy and want the best for him but it kind of helps our chances in the playoffs if we face them
Except the Clippers already had strong depth at PG
It will hurt them on the leadership front, too, but positionally-speaking, the Clippers could’ve had a more devastating injury. The Clippers will still give all the top teams in the West fits even without Billups.
Still, I feel really bummed for Chauncey.
Yeah it sucks for him
I’m expecting JR to sign with the Clips for sure now.
He was their starting 2, not 1

just heard a sound bite from Chauncey
He won’t retire! Whew

i hope jordan hamilton gets the start
Just cause.

OT: the Lakers released Derrick Caracter today
If you all remember correctly the Nuggets were targeting this guy in the 2010 draft. He teamed with Julyan Stone at UTEP and at one point in high school was ranked higher than Lebron James (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/18/sports/ncaabasketball/18caracter.html?pagewanted=1). Might the Nuggets revisit him?
We don't need anymore "caracter" guys on this squad.

Were gonna have a huge void to vill off the bench.. i expect harrington gets the start tomorrow
so who plays SF off the bench until brewer gets back? hamilton?
Sure would be nice to have DeMare Carrol.
Miss you buddy! Didn’t know how could it could be to have another forward off the bench.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
Carrol got picked up by the jazz
Hey Chris Webber.......you suck.
by tknuckle on Feb 7, 2012 7:10 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
most likely
we’re probably gonna see a LOT of small ball tomorrow….Ty, Dre, AAA, Rudy and Al all in in crunch time
/barf
three positives come from this
Gallo gets much needed rest, our chances of re-upping Chandler are that much better, and it gives someone the chance to step up.
I'll be there too

They're playing one of the worst teams in the CBA
tomorrow… will probably win that one. His team matches up with the 2nd, 6th (Jr’s team), 14th and 16th place teams in the CBA to finish the season.
Would be great to somehow watch JR and Chandler play somehow.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
Chandler purposely tanking?
His team lost to one of the worst teams. The article said he has not been aggressive at all, just shooting jumpers and no defense. And now almost definitely won’t be in the playoffs! February 15th he’ll be back!

I'm not so worried that its a month only
I’m just worried its a lingering injury that can affect him until next season.

Actually a starting lineup of...
Ty, AAA, Hamilton, Nene and 2K with a bench of Dre, Rudy, Faried, Al, and Bird isnt too bad. When Brewer comes back he could either start or sub for Hamilton. Im interested to see what this kid has. We know he can shoot and this team needs a shooter.
