Anthony and Nuggets Fall to Lakers.

One of the hardest things on a highly emotional fan like myself is taking in the disappointment. If it weren't for Martin's return the Nuggets would have been completely depleted in the front court. The Lakers have now swept the Regular Season Series with the Nuggets, literally using the Nuggets as a broom, winning by an average of about 16. Granted, the Nuggets are without some of their key players but, hey, I've said it before and I'll say it again: THE NUGGETS ALWAYS GET BEAT BY THE 3-POINT LINE, whether it is making them or defending them. Another thing that seems weird is that there is always 1 person on the Lakers squad that absolutely rips the Nuggets a new one. Last time it was that Vujacic guy that came off the bench and scored like 200 in the 4th quarter! This time it was Fisher that was like a sniper killing the Nuggets one by one by making what seemed like 50 3 pointers. =P' I always wait for the next televised Nuggets game (because the networks seem to like the Spurs / Lakers / Cavs and a couple more) so you can imagine how excited I was waiting for it to show on TNT. Then you can also imagine the trauma of getting blown out and swept by one of the teams I appreciate the least.

On a positive note, Nene's tumor has been removed and it was caught very early so Nene should be recovering. Thank You God.

Uh oh,.. here we go with the Negatives, I just hope I am able to stop:

1. As I've said before, the NUGGETS are more often than not beat by the 3 pointer. They need to learn how to make them AND defend them.
2. Who the hell was defending Fisher?? hint: I didn't watch the delayed TNT Telecast.
3. Now the NUGGETS have a reputation for being the team that can give you your Season or Career highs. I can just imagine guys on the bench of other teams excited to play the NUGGETS because they can probably score 30 or 40 for once. =P'
4. Obviously Karl doesn't see any reason to concentrate on the NUGGET'S weakness but hey, he's happy that his son on the Lakers scored 1 point. =P'
5. Nene is still out.
6. Najera is also injured.
7. Now Melo is out on a sprained ankle too.
8. If AI is as passionate as I think he is, he is very frustrated right now.
9. Nothing new here... I might as well stop.

For now, I am just going to hope that this injury bug finally gives the NUGGETS a break and leave us for awhile so we can get our Shtuff together.

Hopefully Karl is smart enough to start with:

G Carter, G Iverson, F Martin, F Kleiza, C Camby

I hope JR and Von Wafer gets a lot more playing time out of this at least too.

I'm not coach though so whatever.

GoooOOo NUGGETS?..

Iverson bails out the Nuggets for a Series Sweep over the Wolves

AI made a couple of plays at the end to finish off the Wolves. The Answer is definitely the Hero of this game for the Nuggets.

Here are the problems though:

1. The Nuggets gave up an early 14 point lead in the first half,


2. The Nuggets allowed 60 points in the first half on about 60% shooting,


3. Of course Nene and Martin are out and noone knows when their comin back,


4. Who knows when Hunter will be able to help,


5. Coach Karl publicly doesn't seem to believe in his own team!

From ESPN:

"I feel like a thief tonight," said Karl, whose team finished 4-0 against Minnesota this season. "We weren't the better team, but we won. I'm happy we don't have to play them again. If we did, we would probably lose."

WTF!!?? How the hell does a coach say that about his own team??! I would understand if Pat Riley said it about the Heat but Karl on the Nuggets??!! Ok maybe that is not what he meant but he could have been more specific don't you think? If he means considering they are short-handed or considering how lousy our play was we would lose if we tried that again, .. then that's how he should have said it.

I d0n't know about you but it is really hard to win when your own coach doesn't believe you can win.

Then, our next stop is at the Lakers, where Karl's son plays, so who is he gonna support? The Nuggets or his son's Lakers?? =P

As for us,... We really could use a road win especially against the Lakers who have manhandled us in previous meetings.

Go NUGGETS!!
