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 Stop Defending Champ Spurs 11-Game Winning Streak

WWWOOOOOOOHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! That was an awesome show of poise and teamwork by our DENVER NUGGETS! You should have seen me jumping and yelling in front of my TV! I think this is the happiest I have been all season as a FAN. =D

2 BIG WINS IN 2 BIG GAMES IN A ROW. YES!!!!

Melo had a tough first half but he came out determined to turn it around in the 2nd and that is what he did, he kept fighting, that's the way to do it Melo. Especially when he kept taking it to the hole, good job, great job. AI kept us going all game, but I have to give credit to my boy Najera as the unsung Hero of this game. Najera and JR ( again ) had excellent games coming off the bench.

Negative: again, FREE THROWS. It would have been a BLOW OUT if we had a respectable FREE THROW PERCENTAGE. It has been below 70% in the past 2 games. C'mon guys? REALLY?

I think the Minister of D was kind of out of it today too. Everyone is entitled to one of those once in awhile though, he still held it down.

THANK YOU TO OUR DENVER NUGGETS FOR MAKING US PROUD!! =)

NEXT UP, THE JAZZ, ON THE ROAD, TO WIN WE NEED TO CONTAIN IVERSON'S OLD TEAM MATE KYLE KORVER and the OTHER 3 POINT SHOOTERS.

Inside I'm confident of Boozer not getting his way against Marcus, K-mart, Melo AND Najera,.. NO WAY. NEVER LEAVE KYLE KORVER, NO BREATHING ROOM, PERIOD.

WHAT MORE IF NENE WAS BACK!!?? We would definitely be a SCARY TEAM! It's OK THOUGH, WE HAVE ENOUGH TALENT AND HEART ON THIS TEAM TO WIN EVEN AS IT IS. PLEASE COME BACK SOON NENE.

WELCOME BACK TO CHUCKY ATKINS, I HOPE YOU START MAKING YOUR SHOTS.

JR & Najera, KEEP IT GOING GUYS WE NEED YOU, YOU TOO LK43, WAKE UP!!

LET'S KEEP IT GOING NUGGETS!!

K-Mart Closed, Nuggets Lose.

Well,.. as usual, AI was the only one to show up tonight, I don't know what else to say. Granted he didn't get a double double but you need others to make shots to get assists don't you? Anyway I'm gonna try not to feel down about this one because K-Mart was suspended because of a flagrant foul from the last game. Whatever. Looking at the rebounds Spurs 40+ to Nuggets 29 is an obvious direct effect of the small lineup.

So much for my high hopes for this game. Anyway, on to the next one!



Go NUGGETS!!
