Celtics v. Nuggets Preview

The Nuggets roll into Boston tonight fresh off a beatdown from the New York Knicks. From that I can only assume the Nuggets suck. Sure there is the possibility that Kenyon Martin might play tonight and J.R. Smith is back from a conduct suspension for assaulting someone outside of a nightclub, but im sure Allen and Posey are not intimidated. The bottomline however is that the Nuggets will either be starting Yakhouba Diawara or Linas Kleiza at the guard spot. Yes those are people's names, but who they are I couldn't tell you.
The Nuggets are 2-2. Their two victories have come against young inexperienced teams and their two losses have come against more experienced mediocre teams. This is clearly going to be another underachieving Nuggets team that will fart out enough wins to get beat in the first round of the playoffs. It seems that the nuggets are in for a flogging.
Let's check out the match-ups:

Center: Perk v. Camby
Sure on paper Camby is a better center. Yes he gets more "rebounds," "blocks" more shots, and scores more "points," but lets be honest. His body is more fragile than Scal's ego. Perk will break his knees before halftime.
Edge: Perk

Power Foward: KG v. Nene
The Nuggets could be starting Nene's twin sister Shanene and it still wouldnt make a difference.
Edge: KG

Small Foward: Pierce v. Carmello
While Mello has the speed and an armsleeve to his advantage, Pierce is going to bounce back from a rough game against the Raps and dominate this former Orangeman.

Guard: Ray Ray v. One of Two Foreign Guys Ive Never Heard Of:
The two foreign guys are probably pretty foreign, but THE EDGE still goes to Allen.

Guard: Rondo v. Iverson
Iverson will be forced out of his comfort zone with the speedy,Reeces Pieces eating defenese that Rajon Rondo brings to the table. After getting schooled by TJ Ford on Sunday, Rondo will determined to stop the answer.
Edge: Rondo

Bench: Posey, Scal, House, Allen, GBBD v. JR Smith, Edguardo Najera, Chucky Atkins
JR Smith can be dangerous, even in scenarios not involving nightclubs. The Celtics bench is much deeper and they have better role players with Scal and Big Baby tipping the scales in their favor.
Edge: Celtics
