Nuggets finally win, here is the Good News, Bad News

Good News / Bad News for the Denver Nuggets

The win was a Record-Setting Win / It was against the Sonics

We Finally Won a game we were supposed to / The Utah Jazz and the Portland Trailblazers Won too

We ended the losing streak / We are still in 9th place in the Western Conference

The Nuggets played like we've always imagined they could / Watch out, next game might be the opposite =P

I could go on, but I won't. I'll just hope and pray that our Denver Nuggets finally realize what they are capable of and put it together if not for themselves, for all of us that believe in them.

Nuggets lose at home to Denver native Billups and the Pistons

Well, .. the good news is that we weren't blown out. The bad news is that we're on a 3-game losing streak. The even worse news is that the season is slipping away from the Denver Nuggets this year.

As a fan, I'm emotionally drained watching all this talent go to waste.

I really wish we as fans could do something to help our team.

For now, all I can do is hope that we get out of this and we still make the playoffs.

I need a drink..

Go Nuggets.

Nuggets Blow 23 Point Lead, Lose In Milwaukee

Ok, I get the point. I was right.

On that note, I would like to make a couple of points that I have been saying over and over:

1. The Nuggets Achilles' Heel is the 3-Pointer, plain and simple - They need to learn how to make them , AND defend them, otherwise, we're going nowhere
2. At this pace, we will not even make the playoffs, and it looks like the Sixers will
3. The Nuggets are now known as the open buffet of career nights, for opposing players, which to me as a competitor equates to having no pride whatsoever
4. I hope Kobe doesn't realize that he can go for 100 against this team

I feel depressed, this sucks..

NUGGETS give us fans something to cheer about please? Throw us a bone maybe? No?..

Go NUGGETS?

After Beating the Team with the Best Record, the Nuggets Lose to a team with one of the worst.

Thank You to the Denver Nuggets for proving my point (below) on my earlier post.

Thank God the game wasn't televised on ESPN or TNT so I couldn't watch it because I would be soooooo friggin' p@@#$$d. We got beaten by a team with almost an opposite record of ours. Wow. After the win over the Celtics, I thought we were going to end the season with a Bang, little did I know we had a dud, as illustrated to in this cartoon. =P'

Anybody who watched is welcome to share what they saw tonight.

My only question is WTF happened?? I mean c'mon really?

Oh well, on that note, let's just hope that we still make the Playoffs. The funny thing is, if AI was still with the Sixers in the East, they probably would have a better chance at making the playoffs right now. =P'

Go NUGGETS!

Frustrated Fan,

AI, Melo Lead Nuggets deal Celtics First Loss in West Coast

AI finished with 28 points, 9 assists & 7 rebounds to pace the Nuggets. Pretty impressive for the smallest guy on the court don't you think? That shows us that he's got more heart than everyone assumes. Melo had similar stats with 29 points, 4 assists & 7 rebounds. With a total of 6 players in double figures the Nuggets made me proud to be a fan today. As I said earlier, this may have been just another game to them but at this point in the season, with the tight race in the West, whether they admit it or not, this was a statement game.

There were goods in bads in the game but all that matters is that we got the win. The Nuggets have accomplished what no team in the West have been able to so far this season, beat the top seed with the best record in the league, the Boston Celtics.

The DENVER NUGGETS won this game as a TEAM with almost everyone who played contributing significantly to the win. Most especially great play on defense again from Marcus and K-mart. LK43 had hot shooting coming off the bench as well. If only we could play like this every night,.. ** Wishful Thinking...**

I've said it before, and I'll said it again, with the talent on this team, we can WIN against ANY TEAM, but with the inconsistencies on this team we can LOSE to ANY TEAM as well.

Let's hope that this start is a sign of things to come for the remainder of this season.

The time to start winning consistently for the Denver Nuggets is NOW.

GO NUGGETS!!

Eventual "Superman" Dunker Dwight Howard OverPowers Nuggets

Just days before winning the Slam Dunk Contest with his now famous "Superman" Dunk, Dwight Howard showed us what he is capable of. 24 Rebounds and 23 Points, yes, in 1 game. This is unfortunately what gave the Nuggets another loss leading to the All-Star Break. For the Nuggets, it was more of the same inconsistency, this time our Minister of D-Fense might have gotten bit by the bug.

At any rate, for now, let's support our All-Star Duo who are STARTERs tonight and hope that after the break we can finally see what this team is capable and made of.

Right after the break, we will possibly defend our home against the best team in the league, with Garnett back. This is what I call a statement game. If our NUGGETS lose this game they might as well give up on anything more than the first round of the playoffs, if they get there at all given how the West is in a tight race right now.

As fans, we can only hope.

Go NUGGETS!!

Nuggets Blow-Out the Cavs On The Road

Winning on the road is one thing, winning big on the road is another. Both teams were shorthanded but I believe LeBron was reminded tonight of how better Melo's team is. Although the Nugget's just won a game that they were supposed to, they had a very good game by winning by 30 points and by getting everyone involved.

The trio of Melo-AI-JR Smith lead the offensive attack while AI distributed the ball well with 13 assists.

I think my challenge to my long time favorite player AI (even before Melo) somehow got to him because if I am not mistaken he is averaging a little over 10 assists per game over the last 5 or so games since I blogged about my challenge to my idol.

If that is the case and he is putting his mind to it, and shooting for the double-double in points and assists, it is just a matter of time before the Nugget's go on longer winning streaks and AI gets the same respect that Nash gets from NBA Analysts, except for those ex-players that carry any kind of bias against AI. You know who you are. ;) Who knows, if you play like that in the All-Star game there might be another All-Star MVP Award for you AI. Imagine how easy it will be to get assists with Kobe and Melo to pass to. =D

GO NUGGETS!!

Melo Unloads 49 on Wizards for Easy Win

In one of his best offensive games in a long time, Melo scores 49 against the Washington Wizards. I won't go into detail on this one, because actions speak louder than words. Instead I'm attaching the video for y'all to enjoy.

By the way AI had another Double-Double in Points and Assists in "one of the easiest games of his career".

Up next, another game we should win against a team that is even more shorthanded than we are.



Go Nuggets!!

Nuggets hope for win streak leading to All-Star Break ends

As you all know I said earlier, they should have put someone on Korver. He still managed 27 points with 3 3-Pointers so obviously Coach Karl didn't put Diawara on him. Korver also iced the game with 2 free thows in overtime.

I don't know what to say, I just wish sometimes what I say is read and taken seriously by someone on the Nuggets..

For now,.. all I can do is continue to be a fan share all my thoughts on my team on this blog.

Next up is another game that we are supposed to win.

Go NUGGETS!!

Melo's Double-Double and the Answer's last second jumper in Road Win in Portland

In what may have been the biggest regular season game for the Denver Nuggets, our All-Stars shined like no others on this night. Melo had a monster double-double and AI hit the most important shots of the game, twice. All this was without the Minister of D-fense mind you, and don't forget about Nene either.

Bottom-Line, it wasn't pretty, we didn't dominate it, but we fought throughout and emerged victorious. What does this mean? It gives the Denver Nuggets the momentum heading into a head to head with the Division Leaders Jazz and it shows us what the team is capable of even without some of the key components.

I really hope Marcus is better and comes back to us soon so we can have a better presence down low.

Next up we measure our Denver Nuggets up with the Division Leaders Utah Jazz who have been winning since they acquired AI's ex-teammate on the Sixers 3-Point specialist Kyle Korver. Guess what the Nugget's Achilles' Heel is? Yup, the 3-Pointer. We'll need to sick Defensive Specialist Diawara on Korver if we want a chance to win this one.

Let's just hope that Coach Karl has a plan on how to contain Korver.

Let's keep it goin' NUGGETS!!

Camby out, Najera out, AI and Melo double-doubles in 20th Win at Home against the Bobcats

The Nuggets are now 20-1 when AI gets a double-double in 24 Points and 13 Assists (he even managed to pull down 6 rebounds!), and this time without Camby, Najera and Nene. It helped that Melo is back from his ankle injury and was able to come back with a double-double himself of course.

Could AI and Melo have gotten wind of my challenge to them? Them being my 2 favorite players in the world, I challenge both of them to show us that that they are more than 1 dimensional players, we all know they can score, but...

Here is my belief:

If AI continues to get double-doubles in Points & Assists, and Melo continues to get double-doubles in Points & Rebounds, they will lead the Nuggets to more wins, and they will get the respect that they deserve from their critics. For as long as all they bring to the table is scoring, they will only be viewed as selfish players who hog the ball. Of course there needs to be continued improvement on defense too, but if they shoot for those dub-dubs night in and night out we should start to see some longer winning streaks, get deeper into the playoffs and who knows, even win a Championship!

Good job again from Linas Kleiza who seems to be getting back into a rythm and congratulations to Steven Hunter for finally showing some signs of life. From what I've seen from him he can be a younger Marcus Camby if he wants it and continues to work on it, maybe the Minister of D-fense could work with him on that.

For now, I hope AI, Melo and Camby see this and consider some of my ideas.

I would still like to see some set plays between these awesome players. With the talent available on this team, they are only limited by their own creativity and determination.

Go NUGGETS!!
