Coming off a tough loss to the Jazz, the Nuggets (19-18) will play at the Warriors (25-14) tonight. The Nuggets fell to the Warriors 81-89 in their first meeting of the year (highlights above). There's no team I would love to see the Nuggets beat more than the Warriors. I'm still sore from the playoff series last year and Iguodala jumping on their bandwagon. Here are the keys to the game.
REBOUND: The Nuggets only gave up 7 offensive rebounds to the Jazz, but it felt like they gave up so much more! Probably because they gave up a second chance bucket on almost every one of them. There will be little room for error tonight, as the Nuggets with have to deal with Bogut and Lee.
Energy: There are 82 games in a season, you're not going to play your best basketball every night. What separates teams like San Antonio from the rest of the pack, is that even when they're not playing great, they play hard and grind out a win. This is something the Nuggets need to learn.
Put Your Hand Up!: Curry and Thompson will hit their 3's, and there's nothing you can do about it...except to make it hard on them. Put a hand in their face, close out hard, etc.
Key Match up: Kenneth Faried VS David Lee
It's always fun to watch these two go at each other. It seems they are developing quite a rivalry, they don't only seem to play hard against each other, but it sure seems like they are starting to not really like each other!
