The Denver Nuggets Take on The Boston Celtics Without Carmelo Anthony
The Denver Nuggets Take on The Boston Celtics Without Carmelo AnthonyWhen the Denver Nuggets take on the Boston Celtics on TNT, they will have a new look as they start to fit in new pieces into the lineup after a big trade that shook up the team. While this could take some time to adjust too, the team is relieved to have all the rumors behind them.


BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the NBA and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule.

But the Nuggets might not have had much of a choice when they finally pulled the trigger on a trade after the drama that has gone on since late last summer. Nuggets president Josh Kroenke confirmed what had been reported before, that Anthony had asked to be traded when he met with Kroenke last August in his hometown of Baltimore. He said at that point he wanted to go to either New York or Chicago. Anthony would eventually go to the Knicks along with Chauncey Billups and a slew of other players.

George Karl isn't just pointing toward making the playoffs. He's talking about winning a postseason series in his now Melo-less world.

Keep in mind the Nuggets went just 2-7 in playoff series in Carmelo Anthony's seven seasons in Denver. Both series wins came in 2009, when the Nuggets made the Western Conference final. That's also the only season since 1994 in which they've won even one postseason series. The Nuggets will try to hold onto that spot starting with the game against the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics are a veteran team that realizes winning on a west coast road trip could be important to their standings in the East. Taking advantage of a Nuggets team looking to try out new players could be perfect for the Celtics.

The Celtics started the second half of the season off with a big win at Golden State and should make it two in a row with a victory over the Denver Nuggets.
