Nuggets End their 2-game skid and the Jazz's 4-game winning streak at home.


Thanks to LK43 and the Minister of D-fense Marcus Camby, the NUGGETS had this game under control for most of the game.

Way to step it up Linas Kleiza! You and JR need to bring it every night so AI and Melo get help on offense. Good Job! =)

Mr. Marcus, holy c*&#! What a Monster game that was. 24 Rebounds and 11 Blocks!! Nice. You sir are a Stud. =D

The only thing I was hoping for was for AI to make a pass to Camby so he would get his 10 Assist for a Double-Double and MC would get another Triple-Double!

Anyway it was a good win for us.

GooOOOO NUGGETS!!

Nuggets need a lot of work if they want to go further in the Playoffs.

The difference between our Denver Nuggets and the Elite Teams in the League right now is well represented by this photo of the difference height between AI and Yao. Although AI has a better chance of dunking on Yao then the Nuggets have of beating the Elite teams right now. =P'

Things that the NUGGETS NEED to work on in my (non-expert) opinion:
  1. 3-Pointers, defending them and making them
  2. Learn to Never Expect the referees to make the call
  3. Learn some Triangle Offense a la 90's Bulls and some Pick & Roll a la Stockton & Malone
  4. Get everybody back, well at least Martin & Nene
  5. Melo, Camby & AI should keep shooting for those Double Doubles, Melo & Camby in Points & Rebounds and AI in Points & Assists (7-0)
  6. and the rest of the Nuggets to show up and want it as bad as AI, Melo & Camby want it.

It's a pretty tall order but hey, all we can do as 6th Men is hope and wish.

GoooOOOO NUGGETS!!

No Heroes for the Nuggets Today.

We've had a lot of close games lately, a little too close for my taste because sometimes it is good for us and on the opposite side of the coin sometimes it is bad, like today.

Basically we got out shot from the 3 point line AND surprisingly from the Free-Throw Line. =P'

There were no heroics from our Nuggets this time in the closing of the game though,.. but hey,.. what can I say, you literally Win some and you Lose some. Today was that some.

If I were coach, I would have my players (the 3 pointers e.g. AI, Melo, AC, Kleiza, JR etc.) MAKE at least 100 3-Pointers every practice as well as Free Throws. When it comes right down to it, they are "Professional" Basketball Players who get paid to do what they Love. Why not be sure to be Professional and be able to do the things expected of you.

Bottom-Line: We lost by 3. The outcome could have been different by a better 3 point Percentage or a couple more Free Throws.

Go NUGGETS!!

Nene out indefinitely, Nuggets get win over Magic.


Thanks to another Double-Double from our Favorite Forward in the League MELO with 32 points and 11 rebounds, we were able to get another win from one of the surging teams in the Orlando Magic.

Speaking of Magic, there was a little Magic when Dwight Howard tried to intercept an Alley Oop to K-Mart and he accidentally tipped the shot in. I wonder how they assigned those points? Does anybody know? If you do let me know ok? =D

AI and AC had similar stats for this game with 21 pts each, 5 rebounds each but AI had 2 more assists with 13 while AC had 11. Pretty damn good for the backcourt huh?

The Bad News is, Nene is out indefinitely to attend to a medical matter, while we the fans and the team pray for him and respect his privacy we can't help but feel the loss, again. The Nuggets are just going to have a harder time realizing their potential without one of our vital components in Nene who one of our 3 BigZ that makes our front court one of the best in the league.

For now, let's just pray for him and his family and hope for the best for our Nuggets going forward.

Go NUGGETS!!

Nuggets first loss of 2008

One Stat: The Suns were a smokin' 20 of 31 3-pointers, holy C*$#!. That could beat any team I don't care who you are.

End of Story.

By the way as I had mentioned before, we need to learn how to defend the 3s because that's how the Spurs beat us last year.

Go NUGGETS!!

AI scores 38 and dishes out 8 to show his old team the Sixers what they are missing

Just as I hoped, the Nuggets continue to roll, led by AI's awesome 38 points and 8 assists. I'm pretty sure Mo Cheeks is missing AI right about now.

Camby nearly had another Triple-Double but was shy 3 blocks with 7. Anthony was his usual self with balanced scoring and rebounds, AC had 15 assists and the Nuggets had a total of 15 blocks for this game! No defense my A%$! Eat that Charles Barkley! =D

Next up! The Phoenix Suns on the road! Expect a fast pace and some high scoring which is what we NuggSters Love! =D

We are undefeated in 2008, that is the best way to look at it so let's keep rolling Nuggets!
Let's hope for an ECLIPSE tonight as the NUGGETS BLOCK OUT THE SUNS! =D

Go Nuggets!!

Celtics, Pistons and Blazers are hot, but don't count out the Nuggets yet!


With all the hype surrounding the hottest teams like the Celtics, the Pistons and the Blazers, nobody is even noticing that the Nuggets are almost completely back to full strength and things are slowly coming together. 2 nights ago they were able to get a win against the defending champs in the Spurs and what is even more amazing is is that the Nuggets beat the Spurs at their own tempo and style of play.

Everyone keeps dissing the Nugget's Defense but now with their Bigz back in the lineup they even put the Spurs defensive stats to shame with the number of Blocks, Rebounds and Steals they had.

If they are able to keep doing what they are doing on a consistent basis before we know it they are going to start a buzz, but I'm sure all the doubters are still not going to think too much of them. It's better to be the underdogs anyway. ;)
Soo,,.. are you ready for the Nuggets?! Ready or not here they come!
Welcome back Martin and Nene! Camby missed you dearlyand we did too! Now we have what I consider the best front court in the NBA, but hey, AI and Carter in the backcourt are no joke either! Also with Kleiza, Najera and JR and the rest of the boys coming off the bench don't underestimate them either!
Up next? AI's old team the Sixers are coming to town and we should have nothing to worry about. ;)
Go NUGGETS!!
