The Pre-Funk: Nuggets vs. Blazers 10/29

The all day coverage you need to go into tonight's contest. We're just making sure you're prepared to drop that extra knowledge on the brosephs to get you another smidgen of respect.

Party Attendees...

Last year we called the Denver Nuggets the most entertaining team in sports. No idea what the hell we were drinking that night, but most of it had to do with that fantastic picture up above. It's too bad the young chap is still suspended because there was a 25% chance we'd get another crip walk down 1 Center Court.

So the ~~Thuggets~~ Nuggets fought with another Northwest Division rival last night at home, hopped on a plane, and flew straight through a winter wonderland into the soggy bowels of Portland. Tossing in a late night flight between back-to-backs is never a good thing for the roadies and "your" Trail Blazers should come away tonight with a 2-1 record. Meaning, 2 wins and possibly 1 sucker punch via Carmelo Anthony.

People keep talking about "true tests" for Oden, so we're not about to go down that road. What I will say, is that Nene will be Greg's nemesis for the foreseeable future and if he wants to establish himself as an elite Western Conference center, then he gets his first chance tonight.

See many of you at the game. As always, hit us up via Twitter for pints.
