Nuggets and Celtics only two unbeaten teams left.
Nuggets slaughtered an overmatched Nets team. Ty Lawson had a monster game. 9/10 from the floor, 23 points in 28 minutes. In 106 minutes played, he's shooting 59% (including 5/8 from the three point line) and has 5 turnovers. An assist to to ratio nearing 3 to 1.
The Nuggets have 2 games left without JR Smith. @Miami on Friday and then @Atlanta on Saturday. (4th game in 5 nights) JR comes back for yet another back to back set on the road against the Bulls and the Bucks. (the Nuggets will have played 4 back to back sets in out of their first 9 games after that one, thanks NBA schedulers)
I don't think the Nuggets get through the next two without a loss. Teams are doubling and tripling Melo and leaving Anthony Carter as the free man. that's not a good thing. The Nuggets are still scoring, but Miami is going to be a step up in talent from our last three games. I'd be more than happy with a split and not bothered a lot if they drop 2 here.
