2-0 Mile High Smiles
All you gettin is a can of ass whippin, Hey, I'll be kickin, you son, you doin all the yappin
Actin as if it can't happen...
The Nuggets cruised to a Game Two win and a 2-0 series lead over the Hornets:
-Carmelo had a "quiet" game with 22 points, but he was money early, hitting his first four shots and sending the Hornets into a state of flux. New Orleans seemed that they could not decide to double Melo or to play him straight up with a single defender. Melo repsonded by dishing out nine assists and brushing off Peja's defense when matched up.
-When Birdman dunked home Chauncey's missed 3 pointer in the 2nd quarter, I might have soiled myself just a bit.
-How annoying is Chris Paul's rolling the ball to mid court every other time up? Especially in the early parts of the game when saving time isn't a premium. Someone needs to make a dive for the ball when he does that. Chances are they'll simply knock Paul on his ass and get called for a foul, but message sent: leave that high school shit back at your local gym. And while your there, stop by the concession stand to support the Chess Club.
-Dahntay Jones was the key in the 3rd quarter. As always he got up in Paul's ass and kept the Nuggets' flowing on the offensive end with some moves to the hoop. His emotion, hustle, and stingy defense is contagious. Keep up with that play, don't grow a greasy mullet and loaf in the outfield, and we may forget about the last Dante here in town.
-George Karl's moves have gone under the radar, but his rotation through the first two games has been steady. He knows when to put the right players in and match them up with the Hornets' counterparts. Perhaps this is best illustrated by JR Smith becoming the defacto "closer" in the 4th quarter; inserted and instantly giving the team points and forcing a tired visitor to keep up with his athletic play.

-First 2-0 series lead since 1984. Who's rocking the Wayne Cooper throwback today?
