That crew can run. RT @RadioKoz: last I heard Brian will start Lawson/ Foye/ Gallo/ Chandler and Faried at center

Nuggets playing small ball it sounds like.

Here we come! #TakeFlight https://t.co/AnCamO1fbk

This game scary to me. It's just our patented lose written all over it.

Denver on a 5 game losing streak really puts the odd in their favor. Just hope we don't come out shooting poor.

Any time we play in Denver, I'm nervous. Being short handed, I have to wonder if conditioning could be a factor. I know Denver is a shell of the already mediocre team they were the last time we played there, but this is by no means a gimme.

This is the kinda game we need to win if we want to make the playoffs.

Pics!!! :)

nice bounce pass Asik to Evans for the lay in

Looking at Denver's starting 5 has me some what concerned about this game.

I think Evans should be able to exploit the Lawson-Evans matchup if he can be patient and make the right decision at the rim

Really good energy early

So this whole Denver going small thing doesn't seem to be working.

or if they just let him run free to the rim like he just did a minute ago

I don't like the match up Asik V Faried.
I think Faried is too quick for Asik.

so... the Celtics were up 26... and LOST

Asik doing well enough so far :knockonwood:

Asik is just eating all the boards. Lol. You know it won't last in Denver though.

Asik with 5 REB, 2 AST and a steal in the first six minutes! LOL

Great energy and good start. Monty needs to encourage the guys to keep this energy. The nuggets look like they have no interest in playing this basketball game.

I don't think they have a choice. Traded Mosgov, traded Mcgee, Other big dude is out for whatever reason... I think't all they got.

Asik is dominating the boards

Asik another rebound
