Denver Nuggets, who managed a bright start going 3-0 lead by the strong play of Carmelo Anthony averaging 37.7 ppg and Chauncey Billups averaging 23 ppg. With those 2 players leading the excellent team playing Nuggets, things look to be headed in a similar direction to last year. Nene, Kenyon Martin and also Ty Lawson, Chris Anderson off the bench have proven to give valuable contributions to the Nuggets scoring attack, which has also chipped in their fair share on the defense. Indiana are probably going to be the first team to fire their coach since D'Antoni has a lifeline for this season as well. Jim O'Brien has been leading the team for far too long and providing only medicore results for the Pacers. They are about to have their worst start in 10 years should they go 0-3 tonight against the Nuggets. Other than Granger and Murphy, the rest of the Indiana team doesn't look like they belong other than maybe Hansbrough whose injured at the moment. Denver should run all over this team especially due to their tight defence in this one.
