Nuggets blown out again by Jazz

Here is the formula for disaster:

20% 3Point FG + 60% Freethrows = Embarassing Loss.

I don't know about you but if I was a Professional Basketball Player I would not shoot this bad.

Here we are again, gave it right back to Golden State. =P'

Even if we do get to the playoffs, I'm not sure we can beat the better Professional teams.

Let's hope for the best again for the last 2 games at the Pepsi Center.

On paper, we should not have a problem with Houston but, on paper is different from what this team has been about all season, even with the injuries and all.

Frustrated NuggSter.

Nuggets Win Must-Win Showdown with Warriors

In what was probably the biggest Regular Season Game for our Denver Nuggets, the stars aligned, namely Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony and an awesome performance off the bench by JR Smith.

Our stars outshined their stars, that is what happened. Realistically, it could have easily gone the other way, Golden State got plenty more Rebounds, Assists and Attempts than our Nuggets did. If Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson had hot shooting hands that night we could have been in big trouble.

My point is this: It was not a pretty win, but I'll take it! Although to beat better teams, we cannot get outrebounded like that and we need to take better shots by passing the ball around better. I am glad though that the Free Throw percentage was a little better, if it wasn't we probably would have gone down the wire with them where the Warriors are the most dangerous.

Overall I'm happy with this win, I just hope that our team fixes their problems and remember that we still owe the JAZZ, and OKUR for tearing us a new one the last time we played them.

Put K-Mart on OKUR and don't let him make any 3's. Seriously.

AI hurt, Melo struggled, Nuggets still blow out Grizzlies

I didn't post anything on the loss in San Antonio because it was disappointing and positive at the same time. It was a game that went back and forth, neither team played exceptionally well and it came down to San Antonio's experience as it all fell apart for the Nuggets in the last 2 minutes of the game. All I could really say about the Nugget's stats are that there weren't a lot of assists so I imagine there was a lot of 1 on 1 action as opposed to team basketball. Good thing the rest of the Nuggets were more than enough to handle the Memphis Grizzlies who I think are dee-dee-dees for trading Gasol. ;)

With this win the Nuggets officially got their best 64-Game start in 20 years. So let's for a moment appreciate that they have improved significantly since AI arrived in Denver. Let's also appreciate that the WEST is crazy this year. Everybody improved, and there are a lot of improved teams in the west. Even with their best start in 20 years, the Nuggets are STILL on the outside looking in,... WHAT??

To put it into perspective, in the East, AI's old team the Sixers are still 3 games below .500 and they would still make the playoffs if they were to play today! That is how lopsided the EAST and WEST are this year. Frankly I don't think it is fair that the Sixers would make the Playoffs and the Nuggets wouldn't. I think the playoffs should have the top 16 teams, period.

Anyway, this win was a given, a supposed to win, but didn't mean too much because again, the Warriors and the Jazz won too so we didn't gain any ground.

Let's not get our hopes up but the Nuggets NEED to win ALL OF THEIR UPCOMING GAMES especially the ones that are supposed to be easy to have a chance. Otherwise they will be spectators come playoff time too.

I don't think a team with that much talend and pride would want that to happen so we should see some better effort, I hope.

Nuggets Continue Inconsistency, lose to Jazz

There is still 6+ minutes left in the game but, the Nuggets are still down by about 26 so unless Jr or LK43 go on a shooting spree, stick a fork in it cause it is done.

Just as I had anticipated, our Achilles' Heel is exposed once again, and we are beaten from the 3 point line from a good 3 point shooting team in the Jazz.

It's times like these when you can't help but put the blame on Karl, the Team Leaders and the overall desire to win of this team.

This is a prime example of the roller coaster ride this has been for us, the Fans of the Nuggets.

In the meantime Utah wins, Golden State wins, and we are still on the outside looking in, facing the possibility of an early end to the season.

Seriously, who REALLY wants to WIN? I guess I do. ={

All we can do is hope that the next teams they play don't make their 3 pointers..

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!!
