Nuggets Stay Strong At Home, get win over Suns

After blowing a 22-point lead last night, it looked familiar when they once again allowed a 14-point lead to slip away, but this time it had different results. It is pretty safe to assume that the heroes of this game are the All-Stars, especially Melo's last 2 Rebounds.

Overall we rebounded better this game than last, in which we got out rebounded like we only had players that were 5'5". Just kidding, but pretty close 50-30 is pretty bad. Tonight is was 45-45 so it gave us a chance to get the W.

Overall, I shouldn't complain since we protected our own and continued the Home Winning Streak but we had that first game in Phoenix too. Who let's a 22-point lead slip away? I mean really?? I don't know if that is bad coaching or bad attitude? It's just bad something.

Coming up, a couple more games that we are supposed to Win. Let's see if our team can get back on track.

K-Mart's Blue Light Special Leads Denver Nuggets to 5th Straight

Man, what a roller coaster ride.. Just when you think that our favorite team had already given up they decide to show up and show signs of life.

Again, I refuse to get my hopes up as much as possible because we still have a lot of tough games left to play beginning with 2 against the surging Suns.

I think this would be the biggest streak we've had this season of 5 straight including 3 on the road.

The Bottom-Line is that our Denver Nuggets are finally showing us what they are capable of. They are doing what we expected them to do all season, and for some reason they always seem to perform better with their backs against the wall.

What's been most impressive as of late has been the play of K-Mart and the Nugget's bench. This team is finally showing it's depth, whether it is because coach Karl is just now realizing what he has on the bench is the reason, or if it is the bench themselves that don't want to be watching the playoffs from home, it doesn't matter.
All that matters is that our team is going to get through this adversity and come out on top, and in the playoffs.

About K-Mart, I've always been wondering about when he was going to be more aggressive. Whenever he dunks the ball it is very fast and he has his elbows above the rim which would make it hard for anyone to contest and he has a pretty decent jumper as well.

This shows that we have at least:

5 Players that can score at least 30,
4 Players that can score at least 35,
3 Players that can score at least 40,
2 Players that can score at least 45, and
1 Player that can score at least 50.

Now that is some pretty impressive Offense, although it is the other side of the equation that we are yet to see any type of consistency on which is the Defensive end.

Our Denver Nuggets are responsible for putting themselves in this position, so it is only proper that they come out and take care of business. If they won a lot of games that they were supposed to, we would probably be in the top 4 or 5 of the west.

For now, let's hope that our Denver Nuggets Continue on their winning ways.

Honestly I think if AI didn't get his broken finger hit that early and had made his shots this last game would have been a blowout. Oh well, like I said, we have a lot of options of offense.

Let's hope Shaq doesn't bully Camby in these next 2 games too much, he's got a couple of hundred pounds on him.

Nuggets Finally Eclipse Suns at the Pepsi Center

This is what we have been waiting for, well, more like, wins like these for more than 3 in a row. Basically more than a 1 or 2 game winning streak. =P'

Melo and AI showed us why they are All-Stars with their showing for this game. AI was, well AI, what can I say, the player with the most Heart and Talent per inch in the world I would say. If he were as tall as Kobe or McGrady, then you might as well just throw the towel in when you play against him. Melo, Wow. He just showed us what he is capable of when he puts his mind to it. He is scary good when he plays like that, attacking the rim and crashing the boards like there is no tomorrow.

There were many good things about this game. A couple of other brighter spots were JR Smith's awesome shooting (START HIM AS SG WITH AI AS PG), AC's excellent D and double double, Marcus and K-mart are their usual efficient selves and everybody's contributions off the bench were crucial too.

I'd have to say that the only NEGATIVE for the Nuggets this game was the Free Throw Shooting. I mean c'mon?? 9 missed free throws? What if it was a close game? That's 9 points that could have won or lost it for us! There is a reason why they call them FREE THROWS guys, you are professionals, get them down please.

MAY I POINT OUT THAT AI HAD ANOTHER DUB-DUB IN POINTS & ASSISTS = WIN. (23-3??)

THE BIGGER QUESTION IS: Can the NUGGET's pull it together for this stretch and continue to WIN SOME GAMES so our season doesn't get cut short? It remains to be seen. DO THEY WANT IT AS MUCH AS WE THE FANS DO? HOPEFULLY, WE'LL SEE.

TOMORROW WE GET A CHANCE TO BEAT THE TEAM THAT HAS ELIMINATED US IN THE FIRST ROUND MORE THAN ONCE. KEEP THAT IN MIND GUYS. OFFENSIVELY THEY HAVE NOTHING ON US EXCEPT THEIR OCCASIONAL LUCK FROM THE 3 POINT LINE WHICH WE NEED TO DEFEND. PLEASE? PUT SOMEONE ON GINOBILI!

LET'S DO THIS NUGGETS!

AI already has double-double = WIN!

With more than 5 minutes remaining even taking into consideration that the Suns are an explosive team and can come back really quickly, I'm going to go out on a limb because:

AI dub-dub in Pts/Assists = WIN.

I'll talk more about the game Melo, AC, JR and everybody later!

Go NUGGETS!!

Nuggets continue inconsistency, Lose to streaking Rockets

Well, like I said, expect the worst. If there is one thing that we can count on, it is the consistent inconsistencies of our Denver Nuggets.

It was televised, but I am glad I didn't watch it. Overall it was a bad shooting night especially for the All-Stars that are supposed to be leading this team. Without being able to watch the game, I assume that they too a lot of jumpers. =P'

Another thing that struck me is that Camby only got 8 rebounds. Seriously, this is not the way to get it together and go on a run.

The Houston Rockets are playing good ball, they are where we want our Denver Nuggets to be. Oh, well... I could keep putting my thoughts on this blog, camby's blog, melo's blog, but it seems as though it's not being read by those who can do something about it.

Next up, the seemingly struggling Phoenix Suns. No matter though, it's up to the Nuggets when they decide on working hard and getting a win.

If this pattern continues, I soon won't have anything to blog about because we won't even be making the playoffs this year. Oh yeah, almost forgot, now even the Sixers beat the Clippers by 26, whereas we were barely able to hold them off. =P'

Frustrated fan,
