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!!

Linas Kleiza Buzzer Beater!

Linas Kleiza is the 2nd Unlikely hero for the Denver Nuggets in the last 3 games. It was pretty awesome he recovered the loose ball then looked up at the shotclock on the OPPOSITE side of the court, turned around and shot the ball and it was a beauty! (see earlier post on previous buzzer beater) Wow what a Christmas gift.

The even better gift is that one of the superstars on the team, Melo had mentioned on his blog ( http://www.yardbarker.com/carmeloanthony ) he cares about us the fans and really thinks of us as the 6th man. I honestly didn't expect that of Melo, but hey, that's what happens when you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME get it ASS U ME? he he.. Thank You, thank you very much. ;)

Just when I thought to myself after Melo's first double double a couple games ago, holy crap I think he's been reading our comments!! =D He just confirmed it in his blog. What else can I say but WOW! Melo actually cares what we think and say! That shows a lot of sincerity and maturity for a young guy who is considered one of the Elite in the League. For that, we will become even stronger 6th men for Melo and our Denver Nuggets team.

Go NUGGETS!!
