The Hornets will try to keep the good times rolling tonight as they host Allen Iverson and the Denver Nuggets at the New Orleans Arena. Our guys are coming off Saturday's superfunky win in San Antonio, while the Nuggs dropped one in Dallas yesterday.
The Nuggets have been without Carmelo Anthony for the past few games due to an ankle sprain, but the Denver papers are reporting that he'll likely make a return tonight. JR Smith's immaturity and Kenyon Martin's elbow should also be good to go.

I hope Peja and Mo'Pete torch their defense tonight, I can sense a blow out but with A.I and Melo I cant be so sure. Hornets Win 99-89. I think I've already said this but Peja"The Hitman"Stojakovic is my Man Crush.

"JR Smith's immaturity and Kenyon Martin's elbow should also be good to go." - why do i always enjoy coming to this site everday? yeah, cuz ron is really funny! peja looks to have a good game, and mo will usually have a good game against a bad defensive team. usually! i smell blowout with a hurt melo. even if he's playing, he'll still be hurting and running gingerly. he even said it hurt to push off his ankle last night before the dallas game. AI is still in his prime though! when will he ever go down. still faster than anyone not name tony parker!

That was a truly joyous thing to watch. I think my favorite part was when CP3 broke Carter's ankles with a triple cross-over and one Denver announcer had to remind the other that they can't give the "drive of the game" award to someone from the other team. Truly classic.

Three alley-oops to Julian in three minutes. And that first one was hilarious. He started out walking down the line, trying to look innocent, and as soon as Kleiza turned his head, he was off like a shot.

Phew, just got home. Had to make a trip to Gordon Biersch after that one. Ryan Bowen and Kenyon Martin dropped by, too. Game recap coming.

They didn't arrive together, but I think the two of them and a few other players had dinner together in the restaurant part of GB's.
