Game Review: Charlotte Bobcats 2/23/13

Result:
DEN-113
CHA-99

 Now let's take a look at the keys to the game.

#1. Intensity Passed: The first half intensity wasn't great, but the Nuggets really picked it up in the second half.

#2. Rejuvenate The Slumpers Passed: Iguodala went 5-7 from the field and dished 10 assists. He looked really comfortable on the court today.

#3. Take Care Of Business Passed: The Nuggets lead at the end of every one of the four quarters and won by double digits. 

Key Match up: Ty VS Kemba Failed: Kemba had a better game stats wise scoring 24, and dishing 5 assists, while Ty was right behind with 20 points and 5 assists.

The Positives:
Taking Care Of Business: While I think the Nuggets could, and maybe, should have played a better game, they did what was needed to get the W.

JaVale McGee: With just 17 short minutes, JaVale scored 17 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and blocked 3 shots. JaVale was the best player on the court tonight.

Andre Miller: Andre scored 8 points and had 5 assists. Andre really played well tonight, while staying in his role and not trying to do too much.

The Negatives:
Javale's Lack Of Playing Time: Like I said earlier, JaVale was not only the Nuggets best big man tonight, he was their best player. So this begs the question, why is Karl not riding the hot hand and only giving him 17 minutes? I guess there is a reason Karl is couching a team and I'm sitting on my couch watching, but I just don't get this.

Danilo Gallinari: Danilo is still feeling the effects of a tweak he had yesterday, giving him limited minutes in which he only scored 6 points. With Gallo's injury history, let's hope this isn't anything that could get worse.

Ty Not Getting Calls: Can you imagine how many points Ty would get if he got the Russell Westbrook treatment from the refs when he drives to the basket?

Summery: This win was nothing to get too excited about, just the Nuggets doing what they should on the road against a bad team.

Game Preview: At Charlotte Bobcats 2/23/13

Is there any better way for a team that's really struggling on the road (5 strait home losses) to regain confidence then to make a stop in Charlotte? That's exactly what the Nuggets (34-22, 11-19 on the road) will do tonight, as they take on the lowly Bobcats (13-42, 7-21 at home, man, it's good to be a Nuggets fan isn't it haha) at 5pm MST. The Bobcats are the worst team in the league, to today's keys will be based around that fact.
   
Keys To The Game
#1. Intensity: Lets face it, the Nuggets have played pretty soft ball on the road this year, especially last night. They gave up 119 to the worst scoring team in the league, that's terrible. Couple this with the fact that the Bobcats are a team the Nuggets could easily look over, this could be a trap game. If the Nuggets play hard for 4 quarters you can book this as a win.

#2. Rejuvenate The Slumpers: This is a perfect game for Andre Iguodala to get out of his slump, hopefully, this won't be a close game, giving Andre the opportunity to take more shots without having too much affect on the game.

#3. Take Care Of Business: The Bobcats, though they have some good young talent, are a bad team. This key is to not give them any confidence; Lead at the end of every one of the four quarters and win by double digits.

Key Match up: Ty VS Kemba
Both Ty and Kemba are both coming off a 27 point game and have been hot in the last couple of games. It should be interesting to see which player scores more and what impact it has on the game.

The Nuggets should win this easy, but look out, this game could be a trap if the Nuggets don't play hard. Look for a post game review following the game to review my keys!
