2008-09 Game 32: Denver Nuggets at Atlanta Hawks Game Thread

Denver @ Atlanta


 

Sorry for the short “preview” but that 5:00 start has snuck up on me. 

Here is all you need to know about tonight’s game against the Hawks.  Atlanta is good team and they are really good at home.  This is the last game of an eight game home stand for them.  They beat the Cavs (the only loss the Cavs have suffered since November 19th!) and the only game Atlanta has lost during this home stand was a nail biter to the Celtics.

The Nuggets had better gird their loins for a tough, but winnable, game.

I think of the hawks as the nuggets of the east, Both teams led by veteran point guards(chauncey VS bibby) with alot of young athletic players(JR, Nene, Kleiza vs Williams, horford, josh smith), Throw in a offensive power house for both( Melo vs Joe Johnson), and we should have a awesome matchup.

No Nene

I missed the pregame show so I am not sure why.

Nuggets can win this if they start jumping for rebounds.

That’s not their game but they are gonna need a couple to get back into this. JR usually shows his stripes ’bout this time of the game…

they are'nt doing that bad against a decent team

more D rebounds and some of those 3’s would be nice

Zaza, another whiney, dirty European player

Hawks must practice 33 ft. 3 pointers a lot…

Last week has shown me 2 things: Nuggets can still play a man down but just not enough and they need to swing a trade for another big.
