PrintDallas Mavericks at Denver Nuggets, Feb 8, 2012 7:00 PM MST
Don't look now, look now - your Denver Nuggets have lost three straight games and three straight home games, as well! Who would have thought that at this point in the season, with 12 home games, that Denver would have just one more home win than Minnesota, Golden State, and Sacramento? Things don't get easier as the Dallas Mavericks, who have had three full days off, are in town and looking for revenge after losing to the Nuggets 115-93 on Dec. 26th.
Game: 26
Records:
Denver: 15-10 (7-5 at home)
Streak: Lost 3
Dallas: 14-11 (5-6 on the road)
Streak: Lost 3Injuries:
Denver: Arron Afflalo (left ankle sprain/big toe sprain) and Rudy Fernandez (lower back strain) are both probable. Nene (left heel strain) is a game-time decision. Timofey Mozgov (left ankle sprain) and Danilo Gallinari (left ankle sprain) are both out. Corey Brewer (personal reasons) is doubtful tonight.
Dallas: Jason Kidd (right calf strain) is day-to-day. Sean Williams (sent to D-League) is not with the team.Television: Altitude
Season Series: 1-0, Nuggets.
Opposition's Take: Mavs Moneyball
Things are looking a little grim for the Nuggets as the grueling February schedule stops for no man. And the Nuggets are close to having no men available for this game, well ... not really. Something is going on with the left legs of your Denver Nuggets.
Nene, Afflalo, Mozgov, and Gallo all have issues with their left legs. Is there a way to correct this wrong with a right? Anyway, it looks like Afflalo will be back tonight and Nene could be as well. This bodes well for Denver, who was forced to start rookies Julyan Stone and Kenneth Faried against the Houston Rockets Monday night (Feb. 6th).
It may not be a bad thing to get the young players some much needed on-court experience, but the Nuggets are a completely different team when they are without their key guys. Finding a way to win without Gallo is going to be a difficult process for the Nuggets.
Gallo leads the way for Denver with 17.0 points per game and with him out the Nuggets must find a way to make up not only for his scoring, but for his defense and rebounding (5.2 rebounds per game), as well. In a short time the Italian Stallion has proved to be a key member for the Nuggets. About the only good thing going George Karl, with Gallo's 3-4 week absence, is that he has been forced to sit the talented forward a couple times late in games due to his cold shooting nights.
The Nuggets still don't have that "go-to" scorer down the stretch, as the team is the emphasis and without Gallo the Nuggets might find themselves in a lot more games that come down to the wire. We all know who Dallas likes to use to close games, Dirk Nowitzki.
The big German has missed four games this season due to injury and is averaging just 17.2 points per game, his lowest scoring total since his second season in the league back in the 1999-2000 season. In fact, Nowitzki hasn't averaged under 23 ppg since the 2003-04 season.
The Mavericks have struggled to score the ball this season as a whole. As a team, the Mavs average just 93.8 ppg - that's good for just 10th place out West. But the Dallas defense has been a good one as they are virtually tied with the Lakers for allowing the least amount of points out West with 91.1 ppg.
Denver didn't have any issues in their season opener in the Big-D scoring points with 115, but this is a gimpy Nuggets squad that needs some sort of spark to get back to their early season winning ways. The Nuggets always play well versus Dallas and hopefully tonight they will get back in the win column.
Afterall, just one game separates the fourth place Nuggets and the eighth place Mavericks ...
Views you can use:
- Back on Dec. 26th, Ty Lawson scored a team-high 27 points in Denver's win in Dallas. The Nuggets will need another strong performance from their starting point guard.
- In the first match-up of the season, Al Harrington and Andre Miller combined to score 36 points for the Nuggets against the Mavs. Denver's bench will need to come up big tonight ... just like they have been doing all season.
- Stiffs reader U.N. Fab Five informed me that the Nuggets haven't lost four-straight games since the 2007-08 season, the only NBA team not to do so. Have to keep that streak alive!

The Desperation Game...
So both teams needs this win badly. Dallas is still old no matter what, so come on Nuggets! Run ’em out of the gym. Even more important to run without Gallo. He was turning into the best option when the shot clock was winding down. Ty is the one that needs to step it up. It is his time to shine and wreak havoc on the Association.
Hope the shooting touch returns for the Nuggets. If they have a clank fest like they did against Houston, it will another night of yelling at the TV.
The injury riddled Nuggets are going to beat the Mavs? Damn right Jason

per 36 min
that’s 12 points and 16 boards! I’ll take that any day. Though I think he would also have 8 fouls :(
more like 18 the way they were calling the game against Houston
(Lowry- the second floppiest non-international player)
Guangsha (Chandlers Chinese team) wins
By 1 point. Chandler had 16 pts, 9 boards in the win. This puts them in the 8th spot for the postseason. JR’s team loses and so they fall to 9th.
Big game between the two teams in a couple days. Pretty much an elimination game for Jr’s team, as they’d fall back 1.5 games with a loss, and would lose any tiebreaker with Guangsha.

He is putting up some crazy stats though, 50 percent from the 3 is pretty ridiculous
Ujiri Should Just Go
and sign them both to $40M contacts before the game starts. Then the Nuggets are covered. Next trade Afflalo and a pick to anyone ASAP.
Must protect the 3 point line tonight
Terry, Dirk and J Kidd will make us pay big time if we keep doubling the post and leaving 3 point shooters WIIIIIIIIIDE open like we’ve been doing a lot lately
indeed
I think Marlowe or Hastings gave some stat during the Rockets game that Houston was averaging about 30% on 3-pointers for the season… they came into the Pepsi Center and went 10/19. THIS SHOULDN’T KEEP HAPPENING.

If the Nuggets want to not give up the rim while still protecting the 3
They should try the version of zone I call “Rover out of his house”. Here how I discribe it. Starts with a simple box zone. Hi and low posts. The “Rover” covers the ball. As the offense passes the ball around, the “Rover” rotates in and out of the box. It may sound confusing but I’ve seen it executed in person and it works if done right.

Dont think its a box and one
In a box and 1 defense. The four defenders form a box as described above. The one marks the best scorer man to man. Sounds like the rover defense he is describing rotates the fifth man in and out of the box.
It is a version of Box plus 1.
I’m surprised more nba “zones” are not set up like this(with the defensive 3 second rule). It’s a tough zone to beat. it can’t hurt to change it up for a 5 minute span to throw off a team and it gives the chance for steals and easy fast breaks.

I am looking at the matchup.
Julyan stone vs. Shawn Marion. They are both 6-7. Marion could take advantage, but Marion isn’t your typical SF.
He seems to be able to score
and with Gallo out and AAA struggling we might as well see if SOMEONE can hit a damn 3. I’m willing to give him a shot, if he misses 2 in a row sit him down, if he gets hot keep him in…..obviously makes too much sense though
Yeah
Just give the rookies a shot. See what we got. If we struggle these next couple weeks, I say we make a move

As much hate/flak JR gets from everybody
for poor defense, erratic shooting, poor decisions, low basketball IQ……I think he might always be my favorite Nugget. Sure he could ruin a game with terrible shot selection, or selfishness, or lack of defense. But there is literally nothing better than watching JR Smith dominate a game (8+ three pointers, sensational dunks, etc). When Im at Nuggets games, JR is the ultimate crowd pleaser, and no matter how much you despise him that means something. He is a showman and is always looking to please the crowd…..which I absolutely love about him.
I so loved JR
and wanted badly for him to get his game and his head together. He could turn the game into a delight. And so often did. Sad for me and so many others not to have him in Denver contributing to things.

Wilson
Chandler seems to have interest from Toronto, any chance Denver does a sign and trade with them and maybe get that 1st round pick from them? Lord knows it wont be anything out of the top 8….
I am not sure if they can sign and trade him or not
There was that story last week about Masai being pissed because the CBA wouldn’t allow him to sign and trade Kmart.

you should read RMC for that
they did a good piece on it yesterday and today about the whole situation.
Can't do S&T in the middle of the season
In this new CBA. Chandler either signs long-term with us, someone else (if his team is eliminated before March), or waits it out until the off-season.
Chandler situation..
One of the other blogs breaks down the Chandler situation in detail.. and no way Toronto would give up a 1st rd pick for Chandler (even if that could happen).
Agreed
A first round pick is a lot to give up for him, unless it had heavy protection behind it/wasn’t owed for 4-5 years.
But there are a lot of teams that are in more win now mode, then they are about developing young talent. Could definitely get a pick in the middle of the draft for him imo.
Hope we can retain him if the price is right honestly.
Ahhh thanks
for the clarification, that being said, I think if Denver signs him back, they should start him at the two and Gallo at the 3, I hope I’m wrong but 40 million for Afflalo is looking like a mistake…
Excellent piece
The quick and dirty:
1) All sign and trades prohibited in season. So not an option with Chandler.
2) RFA can only sign offer sheets prior to March 1. If Chandler were to sign one prior to March 1, Denver could match or let him walk.
3) After March 1, Chandler can only sign with Denver.
4) If Chandler fails to sign with Denver for this season, he goes back into RFA this summer.

So basically put,
if Chandler wants to play in the NBA again, Denver gets first pick at him. That’s really going to bum out Clipper and Laker fans who believe every good player is entitled to them….
wow j-ham must be upset that stone is starting in his spot....
dallas plays zone, stone isnt a shooter… hamilton makes more sense

kfh, THAT is NOT funny!
I feel like the roller coaster just dropped and I have to wait for my heart to catch up to the rest of my body
Remember, Marbury was on my home town team, the most disgusting phase in NY sports that I could ever recall
Sorry to getcha going like that
I thought it was so over the top as to be a joke on its face. And yes, the Marbury era was really sad for the Knicks. I’m the type of fan that wants to see other franchises thrive (most of the time, anyway), so I cringed at much of what went down with Marbury. And I continue to cringe for that sad franchise. Wonder if Dolan will ever sell…
While I’m at it, it’s nice to see them getting some good guard play from Jeremy Lin. He’s a decent fit for D’Antoni’s style, and I always liked what I saw of him when he got tiny bits of time off the bench at Golden State. Hope he continues to contribute and becomes a viable PG in the league.

one more max to dish out
they are trying to follow the three max deal and teh rest scrub player model… Look at the money Rudy Gay and Kevin Martin are getting based off their numbers and you have yourself Eric Gordens next contract

yeah and there's an exPlayer for Bucks
I think Junior Bridgeman, who I think owns 100 Wendys
They are the exceptions because athletes often spend as if they are lawyers and doctors whose salaries are going to stay stable or increase for years to come
Investing can go bad
…. ask Terrel Owens

yeah but owning Wendys restaurants and gradually getting more
is probably a pretty safe bet
true

Guy,
Meet me at my place at dawn. I have extra pitchforks and torches if you want to bring a friend.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
I'm not your guy, buddy

T.O.
The dud’s just made some pretty bad investments. Plus he’s had some friends that have stolen money from him. On top of that, he has a shitload of unpaid child support

Ty Lawson has to step up BIG with Gallo out
time for him to start putting up 20+ a game. Nene needs to step up (as long as he is healthy) and earn that big contract as well. Hoping that Kenneth Faried starts becoming more comfortable in the NBA game, and therefore starts dominating the boards, blocking shots outta the arena, and taking alot of high percentage shots….aka slamdunks
