Without the two top leading scorers on the team, the Nuggets dropped the pick axe hard on Houston. After trailing in the 1st quarter, the Nuggets exploded and never looked back. Corey Brewer is so money that banks come to him to approve checks. Night after night he just keeps stepping it up off the bench, scoring 22 points in 28 minutes. I f Brewer starts playing over 30 minutes a game, he's gonna be able score a lot more. Corey Brewer needs to win the 6th man of the year, hands down, but probably won't even get nominated. Chandler started the game and had 21, he's getting ready to light it up down the stretch here watch, and Kenneth Faried is beginning to feel his dominance on the court again. Iguodala had a great night with 14 assists and 18 points. But the fucking free throws! The whole team, 61% and they still manage to drop 132 points. The pace was overbearing for the Rockets.
The depth just keeps stepping up. This is "Next Man Up" Mile High Style! Randolph and Fournier are rested and have fresh fast legs. With Gallinari down, Fournier will see more minutes in the playoffs. Andre Miller is playing the best basketball of his career, well at least of his Nuggets career, and age hasn't been a factor thus far. Ty Lawson should be back before the playoffs, at least George Karl wants him to be. But in the meantime let the kids play off the bench, because they can light it up. The Spurs and the Thunder are battling for that 1 seed, and if we win 2 more the 3 seed is ours. Home court is such a luxury, and we might play the Rockets in the first round. So the Nuggets sent a message to the rest of the West, Be afraid bitches, be very afraid!
