Re: Breaking down the Northwest
Portland has the best front court.
Przybilla
Magloire
Randolph
LaFrentz
Miles
Webster
Aldridge
Their 4's and 5's are extremely good.

The only one there that could even be considered as a possible all star would be Zach Randolph.
Nuggs have:
Camby
KMart
Nene
Melo
Najera
Kleiza
Joe Smith
Reggie Evans
Some other tall guy
And another really tall guy.

Re: Breaking down the Northwest
The only player the Nuggets have that is clearly better than any of the players I mentioned is Anthony. Now while he's immensly better that doesn't mean as a whole that the Blazer front line isn't as deep or tallented as any in the league.
However I don't even want to talk about our back court.....at least for a couple of years when Jack and Roy get some experience.

I disagree. While our frontcourt is much improved, I'd take the Nuggets frontcourt anyday.
Camby > Pryz or Mags
Kmart < Randolph though it isn't by a large margin (and will depend a lot on how each recover from their knee surgeries after a full offseason off). Nene might end up starting, but that's pure speculation and after a year off who knows. I would expect Randolph to still be better then him this year even so.
Melo >>> Miles
Once we get into backups it becomes somewhat of a tossup. But starters play most the minutes (barring injuries which both teams have problems with) so I don't think that changes anything.

See I think it goes like this.
Camby < Prz
KMart < Randolph
Carmelo >> Miles
Then our bench of Magloire, LaFrentz, Webster and Aldridge is better than Nene' and Najera.

How do you even come up with this?
13p/12r/2a/1.5s/3b Camby.
6p/7r/1a/0s/2b Pryz.

I got that backwards. Yes, camby is better than Joel statistically. It's the depth of the Blazers front court that gives them the edge I think.
I don't want to get into a big argument over this. I think denver's front court is good

Re: Breaking down the Northwest
Kirilenko is not only = to melo, but greater than melo when healthy.
Don't give me the "but" injured thing. Because Camby and Kmart arn't exactly injury free either.
But the jazz and nuggets both have top frontcourts in the league when all are healthy. I really am looking forward to the the race for the NW division.

No, Thomas and his guys weren't the only ones in the wrong Saturday. The Nuggets have their own issues. But when it was over, at least they weren't crying, at least they weren't punking.
It's all gone in New York now – the pride, the respect, the dignity. This isn't just a bad team; this is a bad act. A once proud franchise and fan base brought to its knees as its pathetic coach makes excuses and whines for mercy.
