I'm probably wrong, but it seems like every time we play in Denver it's the second of a back to back. That's my theory.

luckily... this time the Nuggets are the front side

bad news... the Mavericks are the back side

I'd rather it this way. The Mavs game is a toss up at best anyway. We have a better chance at 1-1 road trip playing the Nuggets first.

1 of the contributors on Pels Report saying he's hearing there's a good chance that AD could be back for the DEN game tom. night... take that for what it's worth

Oh shite, that would be awesome. Hopefully the team can adjust seamlessly.

i think Monday against the Mavs is more likely. if he comes back against Denver, I hope they limit his minutes. doubtful, but it's my hope.

looking at remaining schedules, SAS has an easy first half of march but after that it's sick. lots of games against playoff teams. OKC has a bit of an easier road.

Me too. Everyone is different, but seeing Durant, Parker, even LeBron start to break down some should be something the Pels keep an eye on.

They've been smart about bringing him along. They've been smart in limiting his time v bigger 5s. They've been good at keeping him to 36 MPG on the season. Continue to play the long game with his development and with his body.

We keep waiting for the Spurs. A losing Rodeo trip is unheard of. I think Pop is playing some of that long game after 2 Finals runs, but they just might not have that extra gear any more.

Nuggets don't have Afflalo anymore. And I think I read Nurkic is out for this game.

No Afflalo and Nurkic will make a big difference. They traded away McGee and Mozgov this season too, does that leave them with Hickson and Faried as the main front court? Ajinca will have another big game.

After the last few seasons, I'll just say that I'll have to actually see the Spurs fall out of it before I believe it.

Looking our and the Spurs schedules for the rest of this month and next month I don't think it's unreasonable that we could go 9-6 and the Spurs go 6-10 which would put us a half game behind them. Also taking into account we are trending up without Davis and the Spurs are trending down and likely even more

Next week is technically in 2 days so hopefully they meant in one week and not next week

Russell Westbrook won't miss much time with surgery. "If he had a playoff game (Sunday), he could play," league source tells Yahoo Sports.

OKC gets the Lakers and Sixers next two games. They probably don't need Westbrook/Durant to win those games.
