Melo out for Game on Monday

[BOBCATS_BALL!]

Great news for us coming off two losses and going into a 6 game road trip. We need this game to get some confidence for the road trip.

Carmelo Anthony, the NBA's second-leading scorer, went in for treatment on his left ankle, which he sprained in overtime Saturday night, and said he would miss Denver's game against Charlotte on Monday night.

Anthony said his ankle didn't swell overnight and that he didn't feel it was a serious injury. Still, he said it was best to rest until the Nuggets visit Houston on Wednesday night.

JR smith is in the doghouse too, so im not sure who will play SG for them. I think they have Anthony Carter though.

great news. Cats need to still take care of business and play like Melo and Smith are playing their best. Nene and Chauncey are still playing

nuggets are stacked at many positions and are well coached. boris diaw will have to defend somebody so it's not gonna be easy.

I never like to play a team that is hobbled by injuries because I like knowing we won at full strength. That being said, this could be advantageous to us needing a win to start this road trip.

Let's get that bad Orlando taste out of our mouths!

Guys it will definitely still challenge. Yes it makes me feel more confident but our road woes is really a concern.
