Nuggets finally win, here is the Good News, Bad News


Good News / Bad News for the Denver Nuggets

The win was a Record-Setting Win / It was against the Sonics



We Finally Won a game we were supposed to / The Utah Jazz and the Portland Trailblazers Won too



We ended the losing streak / We are still in 9th place in the Western Conference



The Nuggets played like we've always imagined they could / Watch out, next game might be the opposite =P



I could go on, but I won't. I'll just hope and pray that our Denver Nuggets finally realize what they are capable of and put it together if not for themselves, for all of us that believe in them.

Nuggets lose at home to Denver native Billups and the Pistons

Well, .. the good news is that we weren't blown out. The bad news is that we're on a 3-game losing streak. The even worse news is that the season is slipping away from the Denver Nuggets this year.

As a fan, I'm emotionally drained watching all this talent go to waste.

I really wish we as fans could do something to help our team.

For now, all I can do is hope that we get out of this and we still make the playoffs.

I need a drink..

Go Nuggets.

Nuggets Blow 23 Point Lead, Lose In Milwaukee

Ok, I get the point. I was right.

On that note, I would like to make a couple of points that I have been saying over and over:

  1. The Nuggets Achilles' Heel is the 3-Pointer, plain and simple - They need to learn how to make them , AND defend them, otherwise, we're going nowhere
  2. At this pace, we will not even make the playoffs, and it looks like the Sixers will
  3. The Nuggets are now known as the open buffet of career nights, for opposing players, which to me as a competitor equates to having no pride whatsoever
  4. I hope Kobe doesn't realize that he can go for 100 against this team

I feel depressed, this sucks..

NUGGETS give us fans something to cheer about please? Throw us a bone maybe? No?..

Go NUGGETS?

After Beating the Team with the Best Record, the Nuggets Lose to a team with one of the worst.

Thank You to the Denver Nuggets for proving my point (below) on my earlier post.

Thank God the game wasn't televised on ESPN or TNT so I couldn't watch it because I would be soooooo friggin' p@@#$$d. We got beaten by a team with almost an opposite record of ours. Wow. After the win over the Celtics, I thought we were going to end the season with a Bang, little did I know we had a dud, as illustrated to in this cartoon. =P'

Anybody who watched is welcome to share what they saw tonight.

My only question is WTF happened?? I mean c'mon really?

Oh well, on that note, let's just hope that we still make the Playoffs. The funny thing is, if AI was still with the Sixers in the East, they probably would have a better chance at making the playoffs right now. =P'

Go NUGGETS!

Frustrated Fan,

AI, Melo Lead Nuggets deal Celtics First Loss in West Coast



AI finished with 28 points, 9 assists & 7 rebounds to pace the Nuggets. Pretty impressive for the smallest guy on the court don't you think? That shows us that he's got more heart than everyone assumes. Melo had similar stats with 29 points, 4 assists & 7 rebounds. With a total of 6 players in double figures the Nuggets made me proud to be a fan today. As I said earlier, this may have been just another game to them but at this point in the season, with the tight race in the West, whether they admit it or not, this was a statement game.

There were goods in bads in the game but all that matters is that we got the win. The Nuggets have accomplished what no team in the West have been able to so far this season, beat the top seed with the best record in the league, the Boston Celtics.

The DENVER NUGGETS won this game as a TEAM with almost everyone who played contributing significantly to the win. Most especially great play on defense again from Marcus and K-mart. LK43 had hot shooting coming off the bench as well. If only we could play like this every night,.. ** Wishful Thinking...**

I've said it before, and I'll said it again, with the talent on this team, we can WIN against ANY TEAM, but with the inconsistencies on this team we can LOSE to ANY TEAM as well.

Let's hope that this start is a sign of things to come for the remainder of this season.

The time to start winning consistently for the Denver Nuggets is NOW.

GO NUGGETS!!

Eventual "Superman" Dunker Dwight Howard OverPowers Nuggets


Just days before winning the Slam Dunk Contest with his now famous "Superman" Dunk, Dwight Howard showed us what he is capable of. 24 Rebounds and 23 Points, yes, in 1 game. This is unfortunately what gave the Nuggets another loss leading to the All-Star Break. For the Nuggets, it was more of the same inconsistency, this time our Minister of D-Fense might have gotten bit by the bug.

At any rate, for now, let's support our All-Star Duo who are STARTERs tonight and hope that after the break we can finally see what this team is capable and made of.

Right after the break, we will possibly defend our home against the best team in the league, with Garnett back. This is what I call a statement game. If our NUGGETS lose this game they might as well give up on anything more than the first round of the playoffs, if they get there at all given how the West is in a tight race right now.

As fans, we can only hope.

Go NUGGETS!!

Nuggets Blow-Out the Cavs On The Road



Winning on the road is one thing, winning big on the road is another. Both teams were shorthanded but I believe LeBron was reminded tonight of how better Melo's team is. Although the Nugget's just won a game that they were supposed to, they had a very good game by winning by 30 points and by getting everyone involved.

The trio of Melo-AI-JR Smith lead the offensive attack while AI distributed the ball well with 13 assists.

I think my challenge to my long time favorite player AI (even before Melo) somehow got to him because if I am not mistaken he is averaging a little over 10 assists per game over the last 5 or so games since I blogged about my challenge to my idol.

If that is the case and he is putting his mind to it, and shooting for the double-double in points and assists, it is just a matter of time before the Nugget's go on longer winning streaks and AI gets the same respect that Nash gets from NBA Analysts, except for those ex-players that carry any kind of bias against AI. You know who you are. ;) Who knows, if you play like that in the All-Star game there might be another All-Star MVP Award for you AI. Imagine how easy it will be to get assists with Kobe and Melo to pass to. =D

GO NUGGETS!!
