Nubblites vs Nuggets (Game 3) - Nubblies.net Forums

Well, in just 2 short days we will have our last real game of the regular as we face the Nuggets, composed of Howard, Wilhite, and Joel Popenfoose. These are the only 3 players that we should have much trouble with and I think Popenfoose, although he has not really played basketball, he has a huge vertical leap and will swat shots and rebound like crazy. He is not that great at offensive but a monster on defense.

I will probably be matched up with Howard with Melvin guarding Wilhite. These two shouldn't be super hard because they have lost a lot since they used to play. They like to drive a lot though. Howard plays very good defense though. I think these guys should be quite a bit easier than last week's game. We just need to come out right away, which has been our probably the last 2 games.

Not being harsh or anything, but you want Melvin on Wilhite? I don't know the other match-ups, but I think that pliedes or Antram would be a better match with Wilhite.

I also need a visual juxtaposition here, so if those suggestions seem a little off, don't kill me.

I see what you're saying here Chuck, but I think it would be good for Antram to guard Popenfoose just because Antram is our tallest, strongest player. Plus, Melvin is a good defender. He could also switch with me and guard Howard instead. Keep in mind that this probably won't be the matchup most of the time due to the fact that all 3 of us and all 3 of them would have to be in at the same time. Any way you look at it, we'll win.

Yeah Antram on Popenfouse b/c I've heard his verticle leap is pretty good, but Antram's height on him should make up the difference. These guys smoke alot of pot, too, so it's likely that they'll get tired. I think most of them probably smoke cigs too. I feel that we are by far a more atheletic team.

There is no doubt that we are far superior on the athletic side. The only athlete that they have is Popenfoose, and he's not really a basketball player. Yeah, most of their team smokes pot and cigarettes, so I think if we keep it a fast pace game they will tire out. If it is as fast as last week's game, they'll be done by halftime I think.
