Melo & Company coming in hot to the Rose City :: Game Predictions
Monday, February 4th, 2008I will be at the Garden tonight and it will be a ruckus like usual. Melo is back to full form and he is looking to make a strong statement. I always love watching these guys come into town, the Garden goes bananas. The Nuggets are coming off two wins, and they Blazers are coming off a very hard fought game against the Knicks (Which is weird to say).
But the Nuggets hold the second spot in the NW division at 28-18, the Blazers are right behind them at 27-19. So this again would tie them up for the second spot in the NW division. Nene will not be back for some time, but I fear how good this team will be once they get him back. I honestly think this is where the 8th seed fight will be.
But my predictions for this game are high and lofty. I think Melo, and AI will come out guns a blazing, but once again I think the Blazers will stay close and pull it out in the fourth.
Travis Outlaw is playing at his highest level right now, so look for him to get a lot of touches tonight. I dont suspect LA will have a big game against the Camby Man. Look for the “Vanilla Gorilla” (JPryz) to have some good ol Michigan meat and potatoes for the Nuggets. He usually has big games when he presented with large challengers like Camby.
Obviously BRoy will be fantastic no matter what he does. I think he will be that X-Factor we always talk about. After breaking the barrier with his first career triple double we will see some more of that tonight. Im thinking double, double.
So those are my game predictions. This is the first post I have linked to my new site, and I hope you all like it at the Yard!
I wish all the players the best on both teams, I hope they all stay healthy. I just favor the Blazers tonight. I also wish my man Melo has a good game, it will be nice to see him back, and he will be fresh to death for the All-Star game.
