    It's probably the "molded ankle collar" that the shoe uses to give extra support to the ankle...great for avoiding ankle sprains, but likely puts extra
    strain on the knee. This is why I like that Lin wears low tops...his ankles may turn to crap, but at least his knees won't be in put in such danger...

    No defensive player, no matter how good, will hold a top 5 scorer to 10 pts in a playoff series, you're out of your mind.

    I think you overestimate Brewer. Chandler is good but he is not close to being the scorer Gallo is. The Nuggets now have one of the worse perimeter scoring backcourts in the league.

    Galli is a rocket-killer and while I feel bad for him with the injury, the Rockets will definitely have a better chance beating the Nuggs without him. That said, Denver is one of the deepest teams in the league and are probably best positioned to withstand an injury of this magnitude.

    Injuries suck. And if it's his ACL, he won't come back for awhile. And that's even worse.

    Too bad for the Nuggets. You have to admire them. Success without superstars. Big, tall, athletic---a nightmare matchup.

    i say if we play iso-hero-harden-ball then 15 points...if we play temaball then harden may go for 25 ppg of course all that if he is healthy

    Yeah, so Harden got the **** beat out of him by Iggy and the Nuggets. 15 pts, 10 of which came from the FT Line.They're not gonna give him those in the playoffs. Still want to matchup with the Nuggets?
