Nuggets114Celtics105 DENVER - As NBA teams go, the Denver Nuggets are pretty transparent. They shoot the ball a ton, therefore they score a ton, and if you somehow can match them basket for basket - keeping in mind that they may make 40 or 45 a night - so be it.

I throw myself in there, and it's like the only way I can get out is if I fight my way out.'' He spends the weeks leading up to a fight letting everything build up - the intensity, the anger, the need to absolutely pummel the person across from him as quickly as possible. It is all training. By the time the fight is a month out, he has essentially cut food out. ``It gets me a little angry,'' he said ``A little hungry before a fight.'' Everyone around him notices. He's more ornery than normal. ``I move into a different person,'' he said. He'll step in the cage Friday night in front of what will essentially be a hometown crowd at the Icenter in Salem, N.H. to face Andrew Montanez, a Queens, N.Y-born fighte
