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.

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!!

Nuggets Blown Out by the Hornets

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” - MLK

Without Melo and Nene, we had little hope. Without Camby doing his thing, we had no chance in hell. Why? I don't know since it wasn't televised in my area but if any of you know please let me know. In the meantime, I'm sure CP3 showed us all why he should be an All-Star.

For now,.. we need to support the guys who are left out there.

Go AI?

Go NUGGETS!!
