whew, tough day for us. the nuggets drop the spurs in san antonio and the wolves lose a heartbreaker (thanks to AI- the other AI) in minnesota.

this is sort of OT but today really shines light on the idea that road teams in general are having increasingly more success these days, especially down the stretch. the minnesota game was really odd. they coughed up a huge lead, that's one thing, but their performance in the final moments was reflective of a team scared to lose- and the sixers were just a happy go lucky bunch, all excited and jovial after iguodala dropped the winner.

honestly, something tells me that if that same game were played in philly it would've been the other way around- the wolves would've been relaxed and "having fun" down the stretch while the sixers would've been petrified of losing (and disappointing the home crowd).

i don't know. it's just that home teams seem to win less and less close games than they used to. if you look at recent buzzer beaters, for example, i bet far more than 50% of them are made by the road squad. the big plays are accompanied by utter silence more often than not; you don't see many arenas explode of energy after their hero makes the game winner. it's more of an anti-climactic affair these days. it's like the road teams have far less to worry about. home court advantage isn't so much what it used to be (imo).

anyway, denver's playing really well right now. they deserve a lot of credit. they're lucky too, since their division hasn't done much to end their season prematurely. minnesota's underachieving, seattle doesn't scare anybody and utah's... well, utah could be the brightest star for us (which isn't very bright). let's hope they keep it up.

but the nuggets deserve their standing right now, no question.

peace

nugs face the spurs and wins


twolves were up by 19 and lose




nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo

I can't believe the wolves, they were *** in the 4th quarter. Not very outstanding in the 3rd either but at least it got the job done.

The wolves lost? I watched the first 3 quarters and seemed like the wolves were going to win it, so I switched to another channel. That kinda sucks.

Nugz won too?. what a discrace.

Carmelo is too good this season for Nuggets not to have a good record.

Kings acquire Artest! Hopefully they're one team that can move up on Denver.

damn. Portland's up next. After that, a back to back against the Clips. Hopefully they can cool the Nugz off a little. They've had 10 wins in their last 12 games.

camby will probably be back soon, fully rested.

Minnesota picks up Wally Szczerbiak, Michael Olowokandi, Dwyane Jones and a conditional 1st round pick from Boston for Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Marcus Banks, Justin Reed and 2 2nd round picks.

Minnesota wins that trade, IMO, even though Blount is a bum, because Kandi is a bigger bum. I can't believe that Boston now has LaFrentz's and Szczerbiak's contracts--craziness.

Ainge is a moron. Minny could use the spark. Come ON!
