There's a big game Sunday - no, not the Superbowl. Two teams whose futures remain inextricably linked meet Sunday as the Denver Nuggets travel to take on the New York Knicks. Their sitiations are fairly similar as neither team has lived up to the hopes of its fanbase yet this season, but both have hope for the future in young talent that they are building around the one true current All-Star talent on the roster.
Carmelo Anthony has had recurring tendonitis issues in his surgically repaired knee and has been in and out of the lineup (though he is expected to play Sunday) and the Knicks have lost 5 straight games and 8 of their last 9.
