The only silver lining to a team as good as the Nuggets coming to town is the thought that their front line is nicely banged up. Of course, we only have one forward who attacks the basket in an effort to draw fouls, but lets ignore this for a moment. In reality, the Raptors will probably lose this game. We don't match up well agianst the Nuggets. Their defensive bigs give our offensive ones fits. Carmelo will tear apart anyone we have guard him, and their uptempo style works well against our pseudo uptempo style.
As such, I propose an alternate strategy. Many many years ago, I vaguely remember an episode of Coach. Craig T. Nelson (Coach) had moved on to the NFL I believe and managed to get his terrible team into the playoffs. He was playing in Buffalo, and his assistant coach (played by some really old short, fat white guy. Sure I could look him up on imdb... but that's no fun) got the entire team free wings. Of course, these wings were undercooked and pink, thus leaving 30 of the teams players with salmonella poisoning. Assistant coach being a gross pig had always eaten pink chicken and built up an immunity.(And people wonder why the sitcom got replaced by reality TV)
I am thinking that Room Service needs to insure that Denver gets a similar type of food product. While wings might not be readily consumed by players, I am sure that they are constantly eating chicken in an attempt to be healthy. Just make sure to put some sort of opaque sauce on the chicken, call it an energy sauce, tell them it's full of whey protein and ground up cow muscle, I don't care. Then poison the Nuggets. Or at least Melo, Billups, and the front line. If Aaron Afflalo beats us, I'll tip my cap to the lad.
Prediction: Nuggets 114 Raptors 103
