Denver has had a Houston like schedule. 3gms in 4days....6 gms in 8days.....5 of those 6 on the road, last 3 on road (all those numbers include tonight). The previous 6 road games: careful, it's ugly.

If my memory is correct, they were behind by double digits against Atlanta and came back.
In the New York game, they were getting blitzed as well, but came back.
This team wasn't good w/ Hardaway and McDyess....they regularly put out 1 dimensional or 0 dimentional players on the floor. They generally try, but they just can't do it.
They have been particularly bad in the first half of late.
If we're looking for another breakthrough night from the Nuggets, it's hard to believe it would happen in this spot.
The one thing they have going for them is their opponent....bucks have been unpredictable. Would think they would care with the East in such a mess, but who knows? Probably going to follow trend that eztds pointed out a couple days ago and go against Den in 1st quarter or first half.
