Nuggets Beat Streaking Rockets and Make Playoffs!
Awesome, Player of the Week AI lead the way!
Well, it has been a roller coaster ride for the Denver Nuggets and their fans. At least there is a happy ending, for now.
Allen Iverson, my second favorite player in the world after Michael Jordan (Sorry AI) really came through as one if not the leader of this team. AI did everything for this game, with 33 points, 7 Assists, and get this: 7 Rebounds, and wait, it gets better, 1 HUGE Block!
See Here:
That, my friends is why I like my Man AI, he wasn't born with all the advantages in the world like Shaq, or Lebron but his Heart makes up for it.
Things have been coming together for the Nuggets lately, well, most of the time. Everyone is entitled to have an off game and I believe Melo had 1 or 2 during these last couple of games, then, the DUI incident which is Stoopid, with a capital F. Sorry Melo but what if the Warriors Won? And what if you weren't able to play? Or worse, what if you got hurt, or you hurt someone? Don't you think that was stoopid especially knowing that you can afford to get a driver??
I'm in Guam dude but if you fly me over there I'll freakin drive you around no problem. Shiznit.
Anyway, what next for our Denver Nuggets? Playoffs Baby!!!!! Hey how we got here wasn't pretty but we are here, and we need to Play Like there is No Tomorrow! We are bottom seed, so basically we will be playing the top team in the West. This of course is unless the Hornets beat Dallas and Denver beats the Grizzlies, then we'd be 7th!
Either way, we will most probably get either the Lakers of the Hornets, both of which have beaten our Denver Nuggets most of the time this Season. If I were coach, I'd be studying why these teams have been beating us already..
I'm not coach though so for now, I'll just have to hope and pray that our Denver Nuggets get past the first round this time.
We will need EVERYBODY to step it up and help our Floor Leaders AI, Melo & Camby! C'mon K-Mart, JR, Najera, LK43, Nene!, you too Chucky, Steven and the new guy!
I absolutely Love it when JR, Linas and Najera comes in and boosts the team! That is great, our Bench will be the difference this year!

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.

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.

Nuggets Finally Win One Gimme in LA

So our Denver Nuggets finally take care of business and Win one Supposed-To-Win, so what? Golden State won too which means that we are still tied for 8th.
There are a lot of good things to mention about the game but, the bottom-line is if the team doesn not consistently take care of business then we will be rooting for some other team come playoff time.
The reality of the matter is that after tomorrow's game against the Warriors the Nugget's have the tougher opponents for their last couple of games of the season.
I have a CHALLENGE for the DENVER NUGGETS: Don't let the WARRIORS score more than 100. Can it be done? YES. Do I think the NUGGETS can do it? No. I'd love to be wrong though.

Sonics get Revenge, Nuggets continue losing streak
Well, the game isn't over yet but, statistically, we could have won again by making our Free Throws.
Obviously the Sonics wanted this one more. Maybe our Denver Nuggets would rather just watch the Playoffs on TV or something..

Denver lives up to my expectations, Lose a Supposed-to-Win Game
This is exactly why I don't get my hopes up. As I've said over and over again:
"This Denver Nuggets Team can BEAT ANY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE, but they can also just as easily LOSE TO ANY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE." - NuggSter.
If the Nuggets weren't doing this all season we probably would be in the TOP 3 of the WESTERN CONFERENCE but, noooo... we want to have a MEDIOCRE record with all this talent. =P' - Obviously I got my hopes up again.
I was not able to watch the game so I am unsure as to what exactly was the reason that we lost at HOME to the KINGS without ARTEST AND BRAD MILLER, but what I WILL SAY IS this: A usual culprit is poor 3-Point Shooting AND we MISSED 10 Free Throws and lost by 3.
End of story.
What happens happens, we can only hope for the best but expect the worst.
By the way, can anyone tell me what happened to AI? How did he play so many minutes but do so little (stat-wise)? It looks like Melo (47 Points) and Kleiza were the only ones that wanted this one.

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.
